tether vs stoner

[rfer79]

Hi,

I’m currently evaluating tether (http://www.instinctualsoftware.com) and I must say I’m very impressed. I would like to know what other people think. Is it reliable or quite buggy/crashy? I would also like to know how you think it compares to xstoner (http://www.max-t.com/products/xstoner.html).

My company has both avid and final cut editors so xstoner might be better. However, I was very impressed with the tutorial video on the tether website that shows the xml workflow from fcp to smoke.

Thank you

I have Tether as we are P2 house and I need it to get clips into Smoke.
I have been very happy with it. it is a very solid app. Not buggy or crashey.

We use P2 log Pro to make Qts on our Mac and then simply transfer to a Smoke Project Library. Quick and Easy.

What makes you think Xstoner is better in an Avid environment?

As I understand, tether only works in macs and we are running our avids in pcs.

True tether only works on Mac, but you can install the OSX Avid codec and still get all the tether benifits even though your Avids are PC. Additionally, if you footage is available on a network somewhere, you can access your mac/tether via VNC on the pc and do all the transferring you need.
