Re: Final Cut Pro 7 wishlist

[David Roth Weiss] "Adobe has figured out a way to use XML to keep track of things in an almost magical way."
Hi
XML data structures seem to me to be sort of a 'linear' system, and that's fine for the metadata in a linear entity, like a movie file.
It should be embeded in the media assets, fully transportable.

But what an NLE suite's Project File structure should be is non-linear - obviously!! ;-)
A robust non-linear random access database structure.

So far only Avid (and before that Fast) seem to have tried to nail that down - not sure whether the penny's dropped with Adobe and Apple.

Anyway the more of this that gets deep-down integrated into Snow Leopard's Core services - Core Dynamic Link - the better :-)
