Newsmeldung von slashCAM: Avid in 2008 with new strategy of rob - 14 Nov 2007 11:42:00 As just stated in a press release announced that Avid will be in 2008 with a completely new communication strategy s.den start. In the center, the better, more direct conversation with existing and potential users are Avid. Here is the crucial sentence from the PM:
"Over the past few months, we've been collecting data from all of our constituents, and the findings have been clear - we need to connect with users in new ways"
Speculation remains as to whether the power of Final Cut Pro and Prosumer cohorts in the area responsible for the new strategy is of Avid.
We are, in any event gespannnt how the new strategy in reality will impact ...

Because it is synonymous the Avid no longer goes to the NAB. Already s.2008.
Antwort von emu:
Whether the communication is sufficient alone, is still the big question, but certainly an important factor (because one is from Apple aufgeschmissen yes - there support is equal to 0).
BUT: the more interesting comments can be found in this post read:

"The company's consumer business is now s.best break-even, she said." So we do need to understand what role the lower-end technology plays in our lineup. Is it strategically critical to us, or is it not? "
And at the same time, the focus on enterprise customers are.
Well, because I wonder just how Avid Consumer defined and where I find myself again (probably not in the enterprise sector).
Stay tuned.

If Avid continue so lousy programmed with software completely
perverse hardware incompatibilities on the market dropped,
they can operate with customers as they want, then that helps
no longer synonymous.
I am just looking for a laptop for mobile editing solution.
Find times a model which firstly have Windows XP as BT's, second
a compatible graphics card, thirdly, a non-RealTek sound card and
at least 2000 euros it cost. The first test we have just
after a day of futile tinkering returned.
The two allegedly compatible Dell Desktop PCs recently, we have
days of tinkering with a modified sound card and an older Avid
Version to run brought.
I do not know a software manufacturer, which still afford something today
can.
The spiders do.

With Avid, I know I am not, but perhaps meets the minimum criteria, your MacBook Pro?

Well, the hardware requirements are really s.Avid a little strange.
I would s.eurer place synonymous Mac Book Pro made (I myself use the Mac Pro and the latest version of AXP runs rock solid on the box - I have with Final Cut Pro a lot more problems), but if it is necessarily a device with Windows should be, one can only try (where is the Mac Book Pro synonymous with Windows can operate - it is so beautiful and the differences are actually there's none). Alternatively, I am using an HP notebook with AXP - synonymous the run pretty well (nx8200).
That the stability at Avid has somewhat abated, the now well-recognized themselves in another contribution to the Avid HP had the charge of the Video Division is stated that the year 2007 would have used, to eliminate these problems. This is synonymous probably one reason why there are so quiet lately Avid to become what it is (because of Apple's acquisition - such a nonsense), because there's real innovations since the MC software is not only more and that is now synonymous again a small eternity ago.
So I hope that after such a long time again a few bangers from the hat will be fetched and especially its own product portfolio will be cleaned up (including Xpress Pro and MC - the MC would only synonymous rich, at an attractive price (maybe a little higher than FCS) - then perhaps klappt's synonymous with new customers).
Well, we'll see what the have invented (yes would be a shame to the company).

M. Already something of a certified workstation heard? Already clear the Avid software on a course set up with PC hardware avidgerechter sometimes apparently not working correctly. 100 percent functionality is supported only on certified systems (eg MacBook Pro) guaranteed (you guggst Avid HP). In addition, generally for large Avidprodukte Post Buden (Hollywood) who need a stable and powerful editing system. And of course, pay the relatively high price. Earn so yes synonymous million.
The only problem is that Avid does not notice that it will soon no longer have a monopoly position in the film / broadcast area. Apple Final Cut Pro, with much in the catch and the demand for just a fraction of what Avid requires. Hopefully will change now at Avid was.
So I recommend you a Macbook pro. Since synonymous can make your Windows drauf. Or just a certified notebook (HP workstation). Otherwise, with Avid, you will probably not have much joy.
peace out!
Antwort von Maik:
Yes, is already clear that the workstations certified to work ...
But even after the hardware selected is not so easy.
Hollywood is a different world.
We have here only a small documentary film production, since there are
no million budget.
In addition, all yes no impossibilities that are required,
but these are all quasi Mindestandforderungen software;-Other Manufacturer
have no problem so simple ...

Antwort von Maik:
... in fact it can run well on a certified notebook out,
sure. The annoying thing is that the slack times at 1000, - EUR
more expensive than a comparably equipped 'uncertified' notebook.
1000, - EUR, which is for travel and meals for a team's
Week, three days or camera equipment, or a day Studio ...

Antwort von emu:
A workstation is not only halt the sum of the parts ;-).
I would definitely synonymous Mac Book Pro - a fine piece of hardware and even if you use Mac OS does not like (although the better system) - but let Windows run and you'll get everything you want. What are the reasons for Windows?

After the AVID Liquid killed - it is somewhat difficult with the communication with the customer. Maybe turn the television now synonymous for the company back. Perhaps synonymous sets Apple or Adobe, the company simply on ice. Total approximately 0.5 billion for this deal, then there is only 2 A's.
Antwort von PowerMac:
What a nonsense. About a mediocre Macbook Pro is not even expensive. This is damn good and offers a lot of power.

Perhaps synonymous sets Apple or Adobe, the company simply on ice. Total approximately 0.5 billion for this deal, then there is only 2 A's. Why Avid Liquid has killed? They have only recently the responsibility back again after Dt. where the future and hold more back - the developers have more or less free hand.
Expected for Avid Liquid synonymous only had a secondary importance (the Pinnacle acquisition was in my view complete nonsense) - in a professional environment, the program has played less a role and just television or large studios with liquid is likely to have less (because it ' s to different systems and price categories).
That there are now some big players there, the Avid their backs, it is surely indisputable ('s so comes with the new strategy). If they are clever approach and with fresh ideas (Avid was once a very innovative company), but it could soon look different. The MC is a pretty good editing solution (in my opinion better than FC), but the price structure prevented the big breakthrough at the end users (including synonymous 5k euros, for 1200 when a synonymous FCS package gets?) And the stability was in recent years due to rapid release synonymous with decreased slightly (the error had been so admitted).
At an Adobe or Apple takeover, I believe, however, less - the market capitalization, I have not viewed (whether with a half-billion goes, I can not judge), but the sense of opening up to me not quite (Apple has in all areas and a separate solution to the Adobe fits somehow synonymous not really - Digidesign heard so synonymous with Avid). It would be rather a pity synonymous when it comes to such a takeover would be Apple's products would probably only be offered for the Mac (monoculture) and with less competition, the development's slow (unless there's FCS in the class not really a competition - at Premiere and Edius is still missing a lot, before a media s.den Comfort Composers approaching - some of the supported formats apart ;-)).

but I could not decide. Merci for your recommendations,
the thing is, it has been decided yesterday evening and we have a
reasonably acceptable solution from the Avid certified program
found, whether's it works, we'll see ...

Antwort von dvcut:
Pinnacle has been very successful in the German television stations and the Avid has not tasted. For an acquisition may come at any time. Apple has 15 billion cash - a good war chest. Avid currently cost 0.7 billion The Streubesitzt is very high, ie, a buyer may have a short-term blocking features. The shareholders are just as frustrated as their customers and a stock price reflects the future of a company again.
Conclusion: Buy Apple, Avid Sell
Antwort von snowy:
It may well be true that Apple would have the opportunities, Avid to buy, but what would the strategic sense for Apple to make?
The technology they need and not as stated in one article here was ever shown, would be if all the brand name of interest, only then I wonder what Apple would continue to live: Final Cut Pro or MC?
And, Digidesign, M-Audio, etc.?
Nee, so somehow makes no sense. Some time ago there was synonymous speculation that Apple would be interested s.Alias | Wavefront Maya - that would have perhaps made more sense, since Apple does not yet own 3D application in the portfolio, but as we learn from the past has been synonymous nothing as a next Hirngespinnst.
The fact that the share price down for some time, is synonymous probably the reason that makes such announcements. No sooner was it announced that the course was short steep upward. As an old anti therefore I would rather make the other way: Avid buy and sell Apple. Avid should be accepted, it is usually good and the FA to acquiring the portfolio to have and if not, gives the value of just more imagination (Apple is very highly rated - in Avid's can only get better or they disappear entirely, but this is rather unlikely). Avid Worldwide, has remained a superior distribution - as was previously synonymous FC not change (synonymous when it might be catching up and s.Beliebtheit wins).
