Default Re: AES Update for Pro Tools 2019

I know it's only a Press Release, but for video, all they talked about was adding support for different codecs and HR vid. I am more interested in knowing if they re-coded the Video Engine so that it... doesn't suck monkey balls when I"m scoring to video with a ton of VIs. I switched to using Video Slave Pro (on the same machine) a few years back, and get far better results - which should be embarrassing for the company that makes Media Composer.

Now, I get that there's a lot of legacy code in there that had to be purged... the only glimmer of hope that I see is near the bottom of that sections, where it says "...the addition of smoother H.264 video playback..." So, maybe it's better?

But a Press Release isn't going to highlight how they're fixing something that they've bolloxed previously, so I guess we'll wait and see. Still wouldn't make me feel like the last years' $400 wasn't wasted, but hey, it'd be a start.
