Re: Who would like a unified interface for FCS?

[Walter Soyka] "I'd like to see a unified data model.
...Let FCP handle the editorial, let Color handle the color, and let Soundtrack handle the audio -- but there should be a database working in the background to manage the same media and the same sequences across the entire suite. An editorial change in FCP should be reflected in Color without reconform, because FCP and Color should be fundamentally working on the same sequence."

I agree. The project should be the central point around which everything else revolves. You have the project manager. Time to edit: in come editing (FCP) tools). Time for motion graphics on a portion: in comes Motion tools. etc. I can see the different tools moving in and out like screens in spaces while a clip window stays central.

I say this as someone who does not own a bazillion dollar company nor have any programming skills. Or that many editing skills.
