Yeah, that’s why I like following your posts. I’m a former Broadcast TV Producer/Editor/DP but I’ve only been on the fringes of Hollywood. Started out in the days of 3/4”, but I’m sure all those masters have decayed now, too. By the way, I’m one of the few first gen AVID editors. Our facility boasted a whopping 125gigs, the second largest video storage array at that time. Today, that’s a puny thumb drive. Sheeesh.
“By the way, I’m one of the few first gen AVID editors.”
there are segments in the bix which still uses AVID, believe it or not. The reasoning is that the production schools churn out easier platforms but the people behind the production are numbskulls, so the earlier versions though flaky are reliable.
Think of it as people still using Photoshop CS6 as an example. If it works and you are comfortable with it, go ahead.
