I've been using MC since the very beginning but to my knowledge (after 30 years) there's no simple way to click a sequence directly into the source monitor. It sure would be nice to be able to option or control click and have it load. I regularly make sequences of selects to cut from and I am so tired of having to select, click and drag from

I have to agree with David. I started using MC in 1992 when I was living and working in the US. Before that I'd used Montage, EditDroid and some other whacky system called film. But MC was always the one for me until the last 2 years where I have drifted towards Premier Pro and it has essentially replaced MC as my go-to NLE. I shoot for clients

I've been an MC user since 1992 and I have a perpetual dongle; but to be honest, I find myself using Premier Pro and Resolve more and more these days and really liking them. That's not to say I don't like MC anymore, it's just that as a freelance editor/colourist it helps to have choices and an a ability to use different NLE's on

In these days of subscription pricing, what's the point?

Interesting thread. I've been using Avid since about 1992, but in the last 9 months I have sort-off moved on to Premier. I had two MC licenses and have dropped one. I'm seriously thinking of dropping the other. When choosing what system to use for a job, I find myself using MC less and less these days and perfering the speed and flexability

Thanks Marianna, that's interesting, why are Dongles like gold? Mine is 15 years old and quite fragile. It tends to fall apart a bit if not removed very carefully.

Thanks Andrew. Seems like letting a perpetual lapse is not the end of the world when there are other paid options just a few clicks away when they're needed.

I have two current perpetual MC licenses. One is dongle activated and the other is software activated. I have been maintaining both at US$299 a year. In past years when I was really busy, I had a need for two licenses. Now I only need one. Obviously, things have changed quite a bit in the last twelve months with regard to MC, it’s pricing and

Just for future reference, I do quite a bit of roundtripping between MC and Resolve and Scott Freeman has the best method I have used to make the process simple and reliable across multiple sequences and complex, nested sequences. It also allows for super easy re-linking between transcoded and original media. Well worth a look. On first glance, it may

Thanks Job, right as always
