It's crazy what third party developers have to come up with to work with and around PT's restrictions and bugs in order to give us these amazing helpers. Without them PT would still seem like a digital version of an open reel tape recorder.

AVID should be rolling out a red carpet for you third party developers focussed on post-production for making PT a (fairly) efficient post production tool. Without you it would still be in the stone ages.

It's also amazing how many additional tools we have to buy to turn ProTools into a workable machine for audio post production. Without them we'd literally drown in the flood of recuts and today's crazy demands.

Without third party tools we wouldn't be able to do:

-ADR management in PT (we had this more than a 1.5 decades ago in AVID AudioVision)
-Still absolutely no efficient way of managing notes and markers inside a given project. We're still re-purposing audio tracks and region groups as markers and note-pad like more a decade ago.
-Conform
-Efficient sound library workflow
-Prep Panning for immersive sound formats
-All sorts of EDL cleanups and unbelievable workarounds to help translate conform info from MC to PT that are made by the same MFG.
