"You really should try non-linear editing on a PC first, to really appreciate how easy and versatile the Casablanca is. Fresh out of the box, in one short afternoon, I watched the free training tape and completed a project that earlier had taken 40 hours on a PC. No Kidding."
Thomas M. Flynn, CRYOCO Inc., Louisville, CO

"As having used the Casablanca for the past 3 years, I was happy that a lower priced version was available on the market. I have been editing programs for public access TV with the Casablanca - The real time transitions are a big plus on the Avio"
Richard Rapetti, Park Ridge, NJ,

Will Madden, The Walrus Factory, Grover Beach, CA

"Excellent equipment and software"
Joseph E. Gardner, Independence, MO,

"Love it. I was up and running in minutes. Finished first 5 minute video with 46 clips in two hours. This is Fast. Normally I would still be reading manual of a Mac or Sony."
Patrick Page, Venice, CA,

"The Avio is incredible. It is very easy to operate. The finish productions is of broadcast quality which without any doubt is equal to the quality output of some higher priced units that is currently on the market. When more software becomes available the Avio will be one of the best low cost non-linear editing units that money can buy."
Marshall Bell, Design Video Production Inc., Richmond, VA

"Very user friendly. "
Gordon Jang, Surrey Memorial Hospital, Surrey, BC

"After watching the instructional video I am amazed at the capabilities of the Avio and more than pleased at the value received for the cost of the unit. With the limited experience I have with the unit I can see that it will live up to every expectation I had for an easy to use non-liner edit system."
David Glaze, Warren, OH,

"So far, so good. Much better than the PC based system I had been using."
Brad Wolfe, Salt Lake City Department of Airports, Salt Lake City, UT

"i have used the matrox 2000. i have used the canopus dv rex, i have used the miro dc 30, all the above with premiere along with its real time. i find it very cluttered with confusing windows
i love the avio because of its simplicity.
i am a video junkie who just likes to shoot and edit.
Artie Houlihan, videoART, Charlestown, RI

"I learned to edit video on the Ampex 1 inch helical scan VTRs in 1970 with two stop watches in hand and manually switching the record VCR from play to record at the appropriate point. I was thrilled when the first 1/2" reel to reel Sony black and white and then color VTRs were introduced! U-matic seemed to be a giant step forward and then came along edit controllers and component Beta. Nothing could better that Beta, right? The AVIO is the next generation of technology that brings high quality video to the common man at an unbelievably low price. It is hard to imagine what will be coming our way after AVIO."
Ed Tomassini, EDT PRODUCTIONS, Jamestown, NY

"I have played with the Avio for just a few days and I am amazed at all it can do. It's unbelievably easy. =0)"
Donnieta Ray, Ada High School, Ada, OK

"I have had a positive, delightful experience on my first project. I never thought I could afford a home editing system - and non-linear to boot. So far so good. Include me in the family."
Robert Poniatowski, Portsmouth, RI,

"I was reluctant at first but after using it, I'm convinced it's a piece of equipment that helps me keep pace with the industry"
Frank Edwards, Video Services, El Dorado, AR

"This is an outstanding system that does professional editing quickly and it is also user friendly. That is, it is easy to learn the program."
Earlene Hollinger, Hollinger Video Productions, Montgomery, AL

"I think it is very user friendly. The combination of the instruction booklet and the training video make learning the system very easy and efficient. It works good and does exactly what I need. "
Louis Babcock, Bull Mountain Productions, Tigard, OR

"The AVIO paid for itself the first month in use. I was able to add an editor for straight forward edits, photo montages and simple one camera wedding videos. It has put a dent in my editing backlog. Why didn't I get this unit sooner?"
Jeffrey Levich, JBL Video Production, Woodland, CA

"I love it. It's a new way to teach students how to edit. They love learning how to cut and paste and all the new options available to them."
Karen Kurtz, Bellmont High School, Decatur, IN

"After trying several "software" computer packages that did not work, I was told about the Casablanca Avio. After viewing the enclosed instructional video, I had the Casablanca up, running, and working in under an hour. I'm very pleased with this Product! "
Scott Ewing, Intil. Sugar Art Collection, Norcross, GA

"I had been excited about Avio since R/D began last year. Now that I own one I am impressed and excited with its capabilities. I have used Avid systems in the past but the Avio to me is Head and Shoulders above the rest. 2 thumbs up."
James Brown, About The Arts, Boston, MA

"Finally an affordable, simple way to edit yet looking as professional as anything out in the market"
Jennifer Brake, Carmel, IN,
