We recently brought a new Avid Media Composer 1000 into our video editing suite. Based on the PowerMac, we are finding the need to be able to covert many of our graphics which have been created on PC's. We've been told a product called Debabbelizer is the tool for the job. I've not seen it in any catalog however. Who makes this and about how much does it cost? Also, we have hundreds of Truetype fonts for our PC's which would be great to use in the Avid. Can PC Truetype fonts be converted for Mac use and if so, using what? Thanks!

Rick, you will find DeBabelizer in almost any mac mail order catalog; MacZone, MacMall, MacWarehouse, etc. I think I paid about $180 or so for it. It is a killer program. I use it almost daily to convert .tga's on my Pentium PC into a quicktime moov which I can then use in After Effects or import directly in to my VideoCube. Of course you will need to network your pc's with your mac, or have large portable storage devices to handle animation files. Single files that can fit on a 1.44 floppy work of course too! As far as your true-type fonts go I dont know if there is a product out there that can convert the pc tt to mac tt…maybe somebody else out here knows?
