Hi y'all,
Rumours of an AVID takeover by Apple circulated at IBC. What does this mean for Thomson Grass Valley and Canopus Edius?
These days everybody wants everything for nothing. Some NLE's are closer to the goal than others. At the moment, what are the NLE's that can handle 10 bit files & hi res, and that have HD SDI for a reasonable price?. The only systems I know of at the moment are Apple Final Cut Pro with support for cards like Aja, Blackmagic and Bluefish, and the Avid Liquid Chrome Xe running on the Xena card from Aja. Of course there's Adrenaline if you have the money. The only alternative on PC, on the cheap, is Adobe Premiere Pro which also supports low price 3rd party cards.
In a world where Avid is gone, or running on a Macintosh, that kinda limits your options on PC platform to Apple or Thomson.
What can Grass Valley offer as competition for Macintosh platforms 10 bit codec support if Avid & Liquid is out of the picture?
Can we expect to see a 10 bit codec, and a low price 'plugin' card from Canopus with HD SDI I/O?
Can we expect to see a version of Edius with the same kinds of compositing tools, plugins and filters that the competition allready have for processing 10 bit and hi-res files?
