Automatic Duck Media Copy 2.0

Also now supports advanced authoring format (AAF). Price: $95

In a world of competing formats and NLEs, you would think it would be more straightforward to move and otherwise transfer files between the existing products, but as many of you know, that just isn''t the case.

Automatic Duck has spent the last few years developing solutions to handle just this problem. At NAB 2009, the small software house debuted Media Copy 2.0, a new from-the-ground-up build of its tool for easily and quickly moving media files between editing systems and Adobe After Effects. Originally designed to help users move OMF files between Avid and After Effects, Media Copy 2.0 adds MXF and XML file support. Anyone running multiple platforms will want a copy.
