(From The Yahoo Avid User's Group)
TRAFFIC for FINAL CUT PRO ($299) by xm|edit is a new stand-alone application that works alongside FINAL CUT PRO (FCP), letting users work in a node-based editing paradigm similar to the workflow of high-end editing and compositing software such as AVID DS NITRIS.
This versatile toolset allows editors to execute multiple functions at a time, and it also is capable of displaying a string of editorial functions where nodes can be connected to other nodes, rearranging them for completely different effects.
Here's a first look at this hyper-efficient way of taking the tedium out of editing in FINAL CUT PRO.
xm|edit Traffic For Final Cut Pro
FINAL CUT PRO is renowned for its ease of use, but it still requires video editors to perform numerous operations that require repetitious and time-intensive work. That's why FORREST MAREADY, creator of TRAFFIC and founder of xm|edit, developed his new software in the first place.
"They say 'necessity is the mother of invention,' but I would say
a pain in the ass is even more of a mother of invention! I was so sick of doing some of this stuff, I just said, 'There’s got to be a better way to do this.'"
Maready, a long-time editor of a variety of major film and video projects, enjoys the craft of editing, but not the tedium that's sometimes associated with it.
"I don't consider those tedious, repetitious tasks editing -- it's what you wish you had an assistant for."
[Damn TRAFFIC is cool! It even looks like a DS NITRIS, too.]
