Re: AFTER NAB thoughts regarding Final Cut
by Michael Hancock on Apr 24, 2008 at 12:32:33 pm

[walter biscardi] "You mean you want a $1,200 Final Cut Studio to provide the exact same features as the Nitris DX which from what I can find, is priced at $36,000."

To be perfectly clear, you're not comparing apples to apples. FCS for $1,200 is the software only. Add the cost of an 8-core Mac and hardware card that converts to ProRes on capture and the cost grows very, very quickly for Final Cut.

The Symphony Nitris DX price you quoted is turnkey--it includes either an 8-core Mac (Symphony is back on the Mac) or 8-core HP 8600 CPU, the Symphony software, and the Nitris DX box. Avid is certainly more expensive, but not with the difference of 1,200 to 36,000.

It's really an opinion of Value, not Price. I prefer Avid's cutting interface and toolset to FCP, so I willing pay more for it. Over the life of the product, the costs are about equal in my opinion. You have to use the tools you like that will get the job done on time, on budget.

Michael.
