RE: [BULK] - RE: uncontaining containers

It’s a shame.  The editor still carries a hefty price tag and to lose such an essential feature is frustrating. I get jealous when I hear you guys talking about working with nodes and trees, features that the editor is also lacking.  Now I have to convince my boss to upgrade.

Serenity now

Agreed. The unpublished purpose of the DS Editor was to get people onto the DS platform at a low price, let them realize what they’re missing, and upgrade to the full version. The unintended effect of that was to sour people on the product and – if they aren’t already – on Avid in general.

Well Sean.... I guess that's why they call it the Editor.... and why they don't sell very many of them...

I sympathise.

Hey Guys
I am working on and editor, version 7.1 and have a question about composite containers.   Why would Avid take the very basic feature of being able to step in and out of containers away from users who are not using the full blown version?  I often have to create an ungodly amount of layers to create simple things and have yet to find a solution, background containers are not the same as composite containers.  I have an easier time at home working on Avid DV. At least I can nest layers and step in and out of them.   I like to streamline my timeline as much as possible, call it an ocd but that's me, Am I missing something pretty obvious?
Anyway TGIF
