Editing: "QUICK AND EASY DIALOGUE CLEANUP WITH RTAS"


From Editing Brain Dump;

I didn’t really know what RTAS was useful for, much less how awesome it really is. It allows you to use many of the AudioSuite plugins that you would normally apply to a clip, and apply them to an entire track instead, without rendering (thus the RT in Real-Time Audio Suite). Up to five RTAS plugins can be chained together per track. When applied to dialogue tracks, you can chain together 3 RTAS plugins that will make your dialogue much more understandable and leave more room in other frequencies for your sound effects and music.

"It’s interesting to see that in spite of a lot of press, the Avid Everywhere concept still results in confusion."


Oliver Peters writing on his blog Digital Films;

This vision positions Avid’s products as a “platform”, in the same way that Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, Android, Apple hardware and PC hardware are all platforms. Within this platform concept, the products become stratified into product tiers or “suites”. Bear in mind that “suite” really refers to a group of products and not specifically a collection of hardware or software that you purchase as a single unit. The base layer of this platform contains the various software hooks that tie the products together – for example, APIs required to use Media Composer software with Interplay asset management or in an ISIS SAN environment. This is called the Avid MediaCentral Platform.


Avid Everywhere

“It’s interesting to see...” No, it’s not. It’s obvious.

The idea is contrived and complicated, just like the software the company releases. Avid can barely manage to write functional software, the idea of them creating a “platform” is hilarious.
