Thanks Grinner,
I'm downloading the 30 day trial as we speak.
Note for others, FYI, it's $150 per copy and works on several OS's.

Richard -
That has to be the BEST damn explanation of the Avid Media Management advatage I have ever read. Wonderful job!

A similar thread like this was going on the VIDPRO listserve, and I cut and pasted your post to it. (I hope you do not mind).

I've seen this third party app on a Media Composer, and thought it was part of the system. Now I get it. Yeah, it's a nice piece of work. It supposed to run on Xpress Pro too.

Gary, Cut and paste away. The reality is, most people use their NLE's for short form projects... Thirty minutes or less I would say. And often, I would think they are working from no more than a six to one ratio of footage. Completely manageable under most NLEs.

Avid really shines when you start dealing with huge media loads , networking computers, long form cutting. I am cutting a documentary right now, thirty two hours of footage. Just subdividing it into neat topic folders, and creating sub-sequences is such a nice feature to have.
