Videography's Oliver Peters posted a review on Avid's HD editing lineup. Read his article to learn more about what's new in the software and hardware, and how the systems will impact you as a digital content creator. A few excerpts:
"...unlike other software NLEs, when a Media Composer real-time effect plays in the full quality mode, it is indeed just that and does not require rendering."
"These results exceed the performance of Avid Media Composer Adrenaline or an Apple Final Cut Pro system with an AJA or Blackmagic Design card."
"As with real-time performance, Media Composer 3.0 won the speed test when compared with similar sequences using Final Cut Pro 6.0.3 running on a quad-core (3GHz) MacPro."
"Avid Media Composer remains the most feature-laden, powerful NLE on the market - at the most affordable price ever."
