- MC 5.0
- User and Beta-Tester experiences.
- They like the (fairly new) Smart Tool
- AMA is useful for producing on-set rushes and quick edits
- They mention a Mac (..Book?) being used on-set, taking footage from a P2 card.
- They show a card from a DSLR being plugged into a Lexar outboard card-reader.
- {? I wonder if subsequently they ingest/import it in “traditional” fashion, e.g. to take advantage of media management and to minimise risks of obscure issues down the line ?}
- 01:50 shows Steven Sprung, ACE Editor (Dispatch, Entourage). He looks a bit like me.
- More than one editing-suite scene shows a graphic tablet being used.
- [02:12] shows some track labels/assignments.
- It can be instructive to see how others do it.
- [02:14] et seq: Smart Tool

- This gives a great brief intro to what it does / how to activate/deactivate it.
- Also Link Selection. (what’s that? links media that are in separate tracks?)

- [02:14] Audio
- e.g. level meters on each track
- Track-based RTAS effects etc. are useful to help indicate to the sound department approximately what the editor requires artistically
- [03:48] Editors (can be) on set 12-14 hours/day might also take work home on laptop.
- [03:39] Graphic tablet shown as part of edit suite. Which one is it? How useful?
- [03:59] Matrox MXO Mini enables use of a standard TV as monitor, including calibration tools (what kind?).
