Michael Kammes on AVID Media Composer 7 and what it means for you.
His thoughts do seem to jive with mine, that this version is somewhat disappointing. Yes you don’t often need to finish above HD, but it would be great to be able to, especially for future proofing (and how often do you see a new version of Media Composer being used in an edit bay, places tend to stick with a version for a long time), and especially when Final Cut Pro 7 could do it so long ago. I guess they want you to buy DS to finish with true resolution independence.
LUT support is great, and it is good that it is finally included.
And instead of background rendering we get watch folders? Useful, but not all that useful!
