Welcome to Source/Record, a blog by the Product Management team of Avid’s editors. Our goal is to make the process of getting Avid’s creative tools to market more transparent. We’ll share some examples of what we’re working on, some of the thinking that guides our decision making, and what we’ve learned along the way. The whole team will be participating in this venture, but mostly you’ll be hearing from the two Senior Product Designers, Greg Staten and me.

As the newest member of the team, with two full weeks under my belt, it’s been an exciting time for me to come to Avid. We’ve got the 3.0 release of Media Composer and Symphony with Mojo DX and Nitris DX coming in a few weeks, we’re well underway working on the next release, and everyone’s been energized by the positive feedback we received at NAB.

This is blog is a conversation, not a lecture. We need to hear from you – what’s important to you, what’s less so, and what you need us to do to make you work easier and more enjoyable.

The one feature Avid is way out front with is the Locators. It can be used in the off line to create a workflow with the final on line. This being said the text beside the IMAGE view needs to have more than one line of text. You had it that way before the AXP and MC software. Please bring it back.

Hey Frank; not a lot of traffic here yet, so I figured I'd jump in... Good to see you at the BAVUG meeting the other night, nice presentation by all... Now what about that "Because I Said So" button we discussed? Y'know for the times that the Avid is saying I cant do that because it splits a transition... even if it were to say "Oops, that's going to split a transition, do you really want to do that?"
