Musings of an Idiot

Avid

I am back on an old version of Avid. I gave Sony Vegas 8 a good go but the workflow was driving me slightly insane. It took me a good 4 hours to cut 1 minute of the scene - which is atrociously slow. I guess I don't know all the keyboard shortcuts but the way to edit was driving me up the wall. The way Vegas works is pretty user friendly and I reckon it would be good if you are doing a simple edit or have lots of time to spend to learn the ins and outs of the system but it was definitely a non-starter for me.

I decided to give the old version of Avid a go again to see if it would recognize the video decks so I can digitize the footage and luckily for me it did. I've now ingested the footage into Avid and plan on editing the scene over the next couple of days. The performances are spot on and now it is now just a matter of finding the rhythm and tone for the scene.

After that it is onto the next set of scenes, workshops and planning.
That's me for now.
