Re: FCP & Avid on the same system update

I'm not sure about them existing on the same system, but I do know that they each have very different file structure, and therefore don't necessarily play nice with each other.

It sounds as if you would like to mix and match, and I don't think its that easy.
At the very least you will want Automatic Duck. A third party program that makes going from one system to the other MUCH easier. I think you may need 2 different versions, one on the FCP side and one on the AVID side.

Its my understanding that very basic, cuts only type stuff, may make the transition between the two systems, but if that is the case, it would seem to make more sense to stick with just 1 of the 2.
I.E. why not stay within AVID, or FCP for all editing. As mentioned on the cow often, there really isn't much need anymore to "offline". Choose a system and stick with that from start to finish.

Just my humble opinion
