I've cut my own video content on Media Composer, and also worked on a network television show with it - it performed excellently in both situations. The bins are a great way to find and store content and the timeline is easy to understand. In my experience, crashes were few and far between (although they're a part of the job no matter what DAW you're using).

  • A real multimedia editor!
  • Fastest software camera stabilization I have seen so far with excellent results!

Cons
Grass Valley
  • I would like to see some improvement with keys effects, and specifically Chroma Keys and Masks.
  • Adjustment layers like Adobe Premiere would be a nice feature too.
  • EDIUS of course has adjustment layers as filters, but it would be most convenient to have separate adjustment layers on the timeline.

Return on Investment
Grass Valley
  • It's value for money index is excellent.
  • We received back our investment more or less after couple of weeks of using that internally and stopped outsourcing editing.

  • Because everyone in the industry uses or has used it, collaborating is easier
  • It's saved us money because we don't have to change products
