So as far as I can tell Generation is now dead. Please correct me if I'm wrong here.
Studio player is garbage, Everyone has the same response, wait how does this work? And then, wait, why is that the workflow?
Its doesn't replace generation, it's workflow is messy, needlessly complicated, and I haven't even had great luck with it as a player. Also the functionality of Generation... Gone. Assign shots, set status? Really? How? Someone from Blackmagic show us how you think this is suppose to work. Put some video together, because as it is, it makes no sense why anyone would want to use it. Please prove me wrong, show some awesome collaboration workflow. Also show me how scripting can make it work with oh say other apps.
I would love to be wrong, but it looks like you just killed an amazing product you didn't even understand. Why would I say you didn't understand it, because studio player is not a replacement!
If you don't get Generation, please for the love of those of us who do, sale it to somebody else, or release it opensource so it doesn't die. Generation can continue, it doesn't take much, the occasional driver update. Crap make it work with your playback hardware, and then don't touch it, and just make it available. people will buy cards to use it, you make some money and it keeps going.
Anyone that actually uses Generation, can you come up with a good replacement system? I can't, nothing does what Generation does as well as it. Especially studio player.
Sincerely,
Chris
