RE: If not DS...

[David Rowe <drowe(at)ctv.ca>]

This is a great forum for sharing views and experiences and is called the DS-L. If you really want to tout the virtues of a system that I dislike (not for what it can do well, but for the misperception of paying clients that it is equal to DS and therefore a DS owner should charge the same amount as a FCP owner), then please preach to the Choir and generate a ground swell on a FCP user group.

 

I am not sure why you felt you had to attack my words personally, when all the while, I was merely grinding at the FCPro-sumer system. Â

 

BTW, I have worked on a FCP HD system many times as a favour to an associate who unfortunately was misinformed and ended up purchasing one. I only speak on issues I have experience and it is impolite to infer otherwise. My opinions may be wrong, but they are not ignorant.

Here is the text from the original post:

 

If not DS...

Worst case scenario.  Let's say that DS gets end-of lifed or goes in a
direction that doesn't help your company/workflow/bottom line or otherwise
becomes a system with no future for you.   To which systems will you move?

To which I replied my FCP scenario as the system I would move to.  NOT comparing

costs nor capabilites.

 

Then drowe(at)ctv.ca continued:

 

not âwhat is a low end, price reduced, knock off NLEâ.

 

To which I now reply:  You OBVIOUSLY have never cut on an FCP system because if you had,

you would realize that it may or may not be many things, but IT IS CERTAINLY NOT a "low end,

price reduced NLE". 

 

I will leave you with that kind sir.
