That is the point, give it time, others are growing, DS is moving too slow. And is getting too old…

Sorry to be late once again on this thread (which by the way is like a booger that won't flick)

but I have to disagree with the following post:

Then again maybe it's time for me to learn FCP. From what I've been told by various facilities it may be slow and buggy. . .

It is NOT SLOW and it is NOT BUGGY.  Mine has been up for the last 6 months and

if you play by the rules, solid as a rock.  Also, wonder how Walter Murch would like

being referred to as a FCP kid. 

 

Take my advice and learn FCP, then make your judgements.  I use it ( and my DS) in 100% supervised sessions every week.  Ironically, I was in a DS session last week since the FCP was booked.  My client really liked an effect I had done the month before in FCP using Live Type.  During lunch break, I sneaked in to our FCP suite, created a couple of Live Type effects and exported Quicktimes with alpha, after lunch break, I imported them into DS and my client was thrilled. ( BTW, footage for session was shot on 35mm film, transfered to Digi Beta ) so it's NOT low end.

 

FCP is NOT even close to DS, but give it time.  Plus, I am having a blast shopping for my new Boxster S.
