and Chroma placement.
To quote you, "no offense intended", but why do we need mpeg2 support
at all? I did videography work for a few years and never had a need
for that. Convert your mpeg to a real editing format and go from
there. For that matter, I prefer image sequences. Give me an example
of a single program that natively handles mpeg2 video and I'll show
you 4 that don't. Premiere, FCP, Flint/Effect, After Effects, they
don't. mpeg is a distribution format never, ever, edit in mpeg2 it
looks like trash compared to DV and uncompressed video. The only
reason I can think of where I'd want mpeg2 is for editing DVDs and
hopefully we're reaching for a bigger audience than that.
Um, and for HDV. Or XDCAM, for that matter. Temporally compressed
video as aquisition formats are becoming _more_ common. Not less.
Your statement would have been appropriate 5 years ago. Not today.
