The idea was to bring both open software and unix design philosophies that allow customers never ending flexibility and freedom with their software. SpectSoft feels the unix philosophy of making a particular software tool do "one thing, but one thing well" is the perfect match for high end film and video production as having to worry about stability of a tool is simply not an option. Also, in the high end film and video world, since being on the cutting edge is expected, open software not only allows bugs fixes and features additions to happen more quickly, but also allows for configure-ability and integration on a scale that is just not possible with software from a more conventional model. http://www.spectsoft.com/
