Hi Jeff – What I would like to do is compare notes on the editing process, for all NLE systems. Some require rendering, some have integrated CG and paint, some have three level (A/B/C) input, etc and it would be nice to create a "manual" that describes the process for each machine for a comparison. I certainly know that the feedback Newtek is getting on the storyboard approach is truly mixed, but overall negative. For serious editing, you must be able to control volume, etc over the length of audio, do split edits easitly, etc. and the timeline seems to be the best interface. I would be glad to see us develope a "job" and see how each system we can access would do it, from start to finish, including the digitize process. I think we would have a truly meaningful document that would allow a fair comparision based on one's usage, not opinion that we get from the mags. What do you think? The first thing is to define the "job". Hank Videology, Inc Where service is our business with P.O.M.P. under all circumstances
