Google mentioned activating this feature alongside the upcoming Find My Device app update, which should arrive between June and August based on the summer timetable.įor starters, the feature would allow the detection of unauthorized Bluetooth tags near a user regardless if it's an AirTag or a different brand. The Mountain View firm also provided updates about the proposed cross-platform unwanted tracking in a collaboration with Apple. Google to activate unwanted tracking on Find My Device Tile Pro and other Tile-branded trackers will be compatible with Find My Device app after an update. If you use any tags from Tile, Pebblebee, and Chipolo, you can add them to the app later. At the same time, Google plans to ship new firmware for Pixel Buds headphones, so these would work on the Find My Device. Compatibility with JBL and Sony wireless headphones were also confirmed. It added that they're expanding support for other Bluetooth tracker brands. The company mentioned this possibility via the use of Bluetooth proximity and having the chip remain active after a phone or headphones are switched off. This means you still have a chance of finding your lost tagged belongings, phones, or wearables even if they've run out of juice. Google revealed in a blog post that they're enabling the app to track these devices even when they're offline or lack location/GPS capabilities.

For finishing DVR is the current King for me, doing most of what I used to do in Avid for both audio and video, but for offline editing Avid still rules the roost.Similar to other tracking systems, Find My Device on Android operates with compatible devices and accessories that have GPS and upgraded connectivity features like UWB (ultra-wideband) and Bluetooth LE. Plus I would truly hate to lose Avid media management for DVRs on the long complex series I often cut, not to mention Scriptsync and Phrasefind. If you stick to offline resolutions, such as DNxHD LB during editing, then I imagine DVR is much more tractable but IMV as it started life as a finishing system and therefore is heavily GPU reliant, which is not always ideal for pure cutting, and the way it handles media and proxies is both more complex and cumbersome than Avid too, or most other NLEs. I cut mostly long form documentary and have done for many years on Avid and I can still cut long form offline on an old consumer laptop with current Avid, whereas it won't even run DVR 17 conversely my fully supported HP workstation needed the gpu upgraded to a 16gb Quadro for grading in DVR, whereas it was fine with a 6gb Quadro for Symphony - and on both Avid 2021 is absolutely stable too for me. If you find Avid unstable on your unsupported older Mac you will almost certainly run into problems on long form editing with DVR. I'm sorry to be a party pooper here but I use both Avid and DVR heavily and DVR is by far more system intensive and demanding than Avid. Should I make the switch to Resolve for this project or upgrade my system to meet Media Composer specs? In your experience, everyone out there, is the Resolve editor up to the task of a huge documentary project? We use Saffire fx and lots of b-roll from various camera sources and frame rates and lots of stills with motion control fx and compositing.Īny feedback/options from Resolve professionals would be greatly appreciated. Media composer has "phrase find" and script sync which is super useful and Resolve has no equivalent so that sucks but I can live with it. My upcoming project will have 4k Multicam, over 100 hours of footage and ultimately finishing on Resolve with a colorist. I am resistant to upgrading to the new mac pro due to cost and my old 5,1 is more than capable of using Resolve. I am cutting a feature documentary starting in a few months that I would always use media composer to cut with but the MC 2020+ software is just not stable enough for my aging computer (also unsupported). It actually works faster on my heavily upgraded mac pro 5,1 than Media Composer which is buggy and unsupported. Lately, I have been using resolve 17 studio with many small projects and really like it. I am a long-time (since 1994) AVID user and have worked on over 100 network TV shows.
