I don't understand WHY...

[GrassValley_SL]

We only have 739 active members on the forum........A fraction of the number of licenses we have out across the globe. Just to put things in perspective..

Numbers and balance although every body is important to us.
In EDIUS 6 there is lots of stuff added which was requested by "The forum". :)

(reminds me of what Brandon posts: get counted!)

Why is it not going to happen? Seems like a reasonable request from a expert in the field of using Edius. I was under the impression that GV listened to its loyal Edius users, maybe I mis-read that fact. Perhaps someone from GV may be able to explain the reasons for denying outright a sensible suggestion.

Absolutely no reason to be reactionary or attempt to be inflammatory.

Whether an expert or beginner, I am sure we will all agree that if a change is made that satisfies 90% of the clients but inconveniences the other 10%, it is not a tough decision to figure out what any prudent company will do.

Please remember that your workflow is just that...YOUR workflow. As important as we all would like to think we are here, this forum is only a fraction of the number of people that use EDIUS.

Also remember that there are times that we only have a few minutes to post which results in quick answers such as my previous post vs the longer explanations such as Steve or I have now expanded on.

It will cause problems in certain workflows In managed environments where clients sometimes have more then 100 EDIUS licenses per site. Imagine 300 of those clients asking for a certain function.
It is part of a bigger workflow within EDIUS for our Broadcast and Post clients.
We listen, but as you may guess sometimes numbers counts.
(That's why Brandon says call support or write a letter so it can be counted)

For now the signs show that it will not likely change as it is a requested feature by a huge number of our users. It is in the workflow direction we have started to move in to.
Not saying It cannot or will not change but for now this is what we know.

Not going to happen.

I still will try and convince someone to bring back the project preset creation at EDIUS startup, and even if it costs a case of Sake

Fantastic idea.

[GrassValley_SL]

Lets take this to pm :)

[antonsvideo]

Yes but then we have a problem with the limited right profiles.

care to explain

[GrassValley_SL]

[antonsvideo]

Yeah I understand...Maybe we should make the advanced mode harder to get to and always open the wizard first. :)

no, I vote for making it easier and less hidden

I still will try and convince someone to bring back the project preset creation at EDIUS startup, and even if it costs a case of Sake

basically, if I have full admin rights, all these options should appear

[antonsvideo]

I understand perfectly and have no problems setting it up, but judging by the number of PM and email and phone calls I get, I can say that users are confused

[GrassValley_SL]

Which is why we have the wizard. If you don't know in the outs use the wizard.
As soon as you are in the advanced settings you take responsibility for the configuration.
That's where the Free format is. The drop down in the advanced section is just an easy frame size selection not an "in spec wizard".

[antonsvideo]

I understand

however, when choosing a DV preset in the dropdown, it should default to the DV spec, but it does not

currently, the only way to get it to DV spec is by using the Wizard

[GrassValley_SL]

We had a lot of request of "format free presets" so I don't think we will limit the choice again.
There are people who use a dv video size but require more then dv spec channels because they send it to an audio app for sweetening and then they export back to 2 channels if there is need to export to legal spec. This was a forum request.....
