Scott Summons at ProVideo Coaltion talks to AVID and EditShare. Worth checking out!

I am still not 100% that Media Composer 7 is a big enough upgrade. Great that AMA is upgraded and working like AVID Media does, though you have to put it in a specific place, so it isn’t quite AMA anymore.

Never tried out LightWorks, but I am excited to give it a try once it makes it to Mac.
