A subtle but very important change to Media Composer 5 is the addition of the Link Selection Tool as well as the Smart Tool editing palette.

Historically in Media Composer, to make adjustments to a segment or transition, you would have to enter a specific mode. Now with the Smart Tool, depending where your cursor is placed in the timeline these operations are engaged automatically. Let's take a look at these new features in action.

  • the link selection tool is very good. The rest of it makes me feel like I'm using a beta version. Everyone I use ctrl-x to cut and paste a clip it enters the mode.

    Very disappointed. I hope that avid brings out a patch soon to properly disable this feature. That way you have the choice, like on a camera, to go all automatic, or manual. That way everyone's happy.

  • Starting to catch up to final cut. Getting warmer.
