  1. Best Update Ever. by lnoble · · Score: 5, Informative

    First of all they're now throwing in Cinema Tools for free, until now it costed a grand, then on top of that they are adding two new apps one for awseom titling the other for pro audio scoring, and on top of that they have added a slew of new and enhanced features with which the update could arguably have stood on its own.

    The added value is just amazing. They effectively cut the total cost in half, while almost doubling the original value at the same time. Use this with their newly acquired shake for compositing and logic for audio, and you have a system which will make Avid tremble over thoughts of mass migration away from their quarter million dollar platforms, in favor of cheap and nearly as effective software based systems.

    Apple has strengthened themselves against destruction. If the consumer thing ends up not working out. They can always go back to their pro market.
