Overall Rating: Sweet

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

RATINGS: Products are rated for features, performance, ease of use and overall value on a scale from LAME, OK, SOLID, SWEET to HOT.



xm|edit Traffic

Traffic from xm|edit is so much more than just a new software utility for power users of Final Cut Pro. If you think you’ve got all the tools you need inside FCP, think again. With its visual, node-based interface that automates repetitive tasks that aren’t easily done inside Final Cut’s timeline interface, Traffic is a whole new way of working.
