That doesn’t mean they’d have ceased to exist. Likely shareholder equity would be wiped out and they’d reorganize. Isn’t the whole deal that investors get the upsides for taking the risks on the down?

Not one-to-one (node vs layer metaphor) but Fusion is stupid powerful and free within Davinci Resolve. It’s an incredible piece of software that, in addition to being best in class color correction, has fully replaced Adobe in my professio
