Summary: Traffic is an exciting product that takes the mind-numbing repetitiveness out of editing and lets you get back to the art of the craft. It’s already become a part of my workflow.
Target APPS:
Editing in Apple Final Cut Pro for video and film production
What It Costs You: $299
What’s Cool:
Inside Traffic’s interface, which resembles those found in high-end visual effects programs, you can make swift global changes to your projects without getting stuck in the tedium of the time line.
What’s Missing:
Traffic still has a limited number of nodes. But its architecture includes a rich plug-in development environment and it will benefit from the addition of many more nodes to be developed both by xm|edit and by third-party developers.
Specs
Mac OS X (10.3.9 or higher); software package that supports Apple XML Interchange Format; 512 MB RAM; 350 MB of hard-disk space
