Absolutely brother. I'm flying in today; hopefully be @ show by noon. Heading straight to Autodesk, followed by Adobe and lastly Avid. I have a private demo setup tomorrow but the reseller was unable to get Smoke 2013. Not the wind out of my sails so hopefully the crowd isn't to crazy at the booth. Yeah right, I'll keep dreamin. ;0)
I Spent 2007-10 on DS; vers. 8.something. Wasn't a bad experience; II didn't care for creating & animating supers on it and found myself using AE,Motion & LiveType and importing as QT w/alpha. Color correction was very good, but that came from the Symphony. I very curious to see what Avid does w/DS. The rumors of it's demise have been around for a ling time but it's held on. I have a feeling they're going to slash it's price to roughly the CS6 price, which is probably not smart, but hey, they're Avid.
