AVID Editing

But with today's announcements, Avid has both increased their lead in the education sector and has radically dropped the price of its flagship Media Composer software. In this article, Creative COW's Ron Lindeboom explores why we find this great news for both existing Avid customers and those who thought that they could never afford an Avid.

I'm new to AVCHD, but am assuming that once Adobe supports the format, Encore/AfterEffects/PrePro would end up converting those files before writing to a movie (to allow better compatibility across players)? Or did I just purchase a very expensive paperweight?
