This is why I suggest using focus testing. Properly done, the data will transcend personal biases and help give a clear indication of what the unbiased consumer will think. I suggest narrowing the selections down to 6-10 choices, and conduct focus testing. Once the data is in, then an informed decision can be made. Until then, it's a bit of guessing in the dark. As for names being taken by other business, I would not worry too much about that, and think of the name in context ie: An NLE software. If it's a concern of the domain name being taken, then just do what the movie studios do ie: cloverfield-the-movie only just call it X-nle.com, or whatever. People aren't idiots. A google search for X and non-linear edit will surely turn up the proper result, especially if there is enough buzz about the product. There was great discussion when Nissan spun off a car company called infinity. Everyone was talking about how there would be confusion with the infinity speaker company. Well, there has been none. It's different when the product is taken in context of it's use. At any rate, it's exciting to watch the development! -Jay Truesdale _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
