Digital Video - October 2008 - (Page 22) & A CUTTING C R EN W EXPERTS SOUND OFF WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE VIEWS ON NONLINEAR EDITING. BY J.R. BOOKWALTER othing speaks like experience, so DV recently caught up with six working editors. Each took time out of their busy schedules to talk about the past, present and future of their favorite nonlinear editing tools. DV: Let’s talk about your NLE system of choice and other systems you have used in the past. How did you settle on your current setup? ART ALDRICH: My dad helped me land a fundraising video when I was 16, so my first system was an industrial VHS setup. It was wild back then. What I would have given 1 2 3 4 5 6 for a dissolve! (Laughs) And it’s been fast-forward ever since. I couldn’t afford an Avid in the early 1990s, so I mainly used Media 100 until Final Cut Pro version 3. Media 100 lacked compositing tools, whereas FCP has a very powerful toolset. ALEC CARTIO: Adobe Premiere Pro on a PC — it’s very user-friendly, simple, fast and inexpensive. My previous experience was with Avid and Final Cut Pro. Avid is very nonuser-friendly and illogical. It takes three steps to do one simple task. Final Cut Pro is a slower, less simple and more expensive version of Adobe Premiere Pro. TOM CHARTRAND: I love Final Cut Pro for its flexibility, stability and smooth integration into various production environments. I started on the Mickey ages ago — Umatic A/B-roll editing! Went to the Video Toaster, Pinnacle Aladdin, Accom Stratosphere, Avid — but I’ve been editing with FCP since version 2. FCP provided a 22 dv october 2008 www.dv.com http://www.dv.com
