When Media Composer 3.0 ships next month, you'll notice a few changes to the interface. They're minor changes, designed to make it easier for new Avid editors to quickly identify the intended purpose of particular icons. For veteran Avid editors, there's one change in particular that will be met with a bit of sadness: the death of the iconic "lift" icon. The weight lifter icon is going away.
Greg Staten has written a great post on the Media Composer 3.0 interface changes. The last line to his post is the best: "My apologies to those of you out there who will miss the little guy.
He's on his way to the place where the purple triangle lives." (For new Avid customers... the purple triangle refers to the old Avid logo that joined the iconic graveyard in the late 90's.)
