mac and PC non-linear editing forums at DVinfo.net

Brian Parker · August 26th, 2009, 11:41 PM

I'd like to make a suggestion about the naming of the video editing software forums. I think the "Non-Linear Editing on the Mac " should be renamed to "Final Cut Suite" since 99% of the threads in their are about that software.

And "Attend the World Premiere" should be named "Adobe CSx" since so many of the editing tasks now get dished out (or dynamically linked) to other software programs.

If the forums were named like that, the people asking questions about adobe software on the mac would probably go to the CSx forum instead of the mac one, and more likely get more useful replies from others.

I'd second this. Avid has it's own forum and it is a Mac/PC product. So we can do the same with Adobe, and have Final Cut Studio be its own forum.

Thirded! I, too, would like to see this updated.

Thanks for the suggestions -- we'll implement these changes pretty soon.

Looking at it again, perhaps it would make sense to use the subforums feature to split up all of the software.

Renaming the "Editing on a mac" forum to "Final Cut Studio" would leave the imovie editors nowhere left to post, so instead we could have:

-"Editing on a Mac" General mac editing (software like iMovie)
- "Final cut studio"
- "Divergent media scopebox"

-"Editing on Windows" (General windows editing. Misc. software like windows movie maker
-"Sony Vegas"
-"Grass valley/ Edius"

-"Multi platform Editors"
-"Premiere"
-"Avid"

I know it's been awhile, but I haven't forgotten about this... stay tuned.

Thanks again,
