i bet that's a fact. i spoke with a former pinnacle employee who said that
pinnacle actually hired an outside company to develop LE, a company called
FAST or FASST or something of that sort (sounds like fast)? i'd heard it
somewhere else but he confirmed it. that made it very understandable that
it could be sooo good because my personal experience with pinnacle through
cubase and studio hasn't been the greatest and yet my liquid trial is
running fine. i hope i get all the issues resolved before the trial runs
out :o)

from what i understand also, is that canopus pro 3 cannot handle more than
one camera and thus that will limit them from being considered although they
may have it some time in the future.

as far as the fx1 is concerned, it's getting worse every day. it appears
that the camera has 16:9 aspect ccd's and thus cannot easily produce a
quality 4:3 picture and either has to cut the way it reads or compress the
read (depending on settings) AND that it's audio is far less appealing than
somewhere between AM and FM broadcast and since we have music on this
program, that's a very limiting factor.

thus we're back to considering the Canon XL2 or anothe camera that has come
to our attention and that's the Panasonic DVX100A which has 4:3 ccd's and
does that same makeover to produce HD and thus since we're going to be 4:3
preferred, this appears to be the path of BEST objective :o)

any comments on this thought and/or the edius pro software?
