Re: Who gets their name in the credits?
Yes, this is a pretty silly post.
The only thing as silly I have read lately is the claim that computer programmers at Avid have contracts that state what credits they will get.
It is exceedingly rare for programmers to have any kind of contract (I had one briefly during dot-com days).
It is unheard of for such contracts to talk about the minutia of credits. I imagine this might happen in some fields like CG, where Hollywood movie credits are involved.
The only reason it struck me as odd is that the credits are quite clearly a list of current Avid employees, not an actual list of the people who created the software.
btw: for the record I worked briefly at Avid, but do not consider myself a major contributor to PT.
