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.
Creative Cow has the press release.A free edit solution is an awesome idea, and one that is supposed to quite powerful. Looking forward to taking it through it's paces.
