As part of our transitioning the facility over to Avid Media Composer 6 for broadcast work, we’re also transitioning our Mac Pros from Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) to OS 10.7 (Lion). My original plan was to simply wait for OS 10.8 (Mountain Lion) to come out this summer, but as MC6 was designed [...]
Our short and sweet blog post yesterday about switching to Avid MC6 for our broadcast work touched off a flurry of requests for yet more information on our decision.

We’re one week into our search to transition our facility away from Apple and Final Cut Pro so I wanted to bring everyone up to date on where we stand so far. This was a very busy week as you can imagine with both production work in the shop and many MANY requests for myself [...]
As we transition from Final Cut Pro to another NLE, I’m running a series of tests to determine which NLE will best suit our needs. We have been using the AJA Kona boards for years with FCP so it’s really important to me that the board work with whatever new software we go with. Happily [...]
