OT: Edit Software of Oscar Nominees
Just for yuks. Here are the Oscar nominee’s for “film” editing.
American Hustle – Mark Sanger
Captain Philips – Christopher Rouse
12 Years a Slave – Joe Walker
Dallas Buyer’s Club – Mark Pensa
American Hustle – Crispin Struthers, Alan Baumgarten and Jay CassidyAny idea on what software they used? Are they all on Avid? Is this a stupid question?

Does it matter? The edit software used isn’t what made the films great, nor what made the editing great.
But all used Avid. Wolf of Wall Street also incorporated Lightworks.

WoWS was EDITED on Lightworks by Thelma Schoonmaker. She’s always been cutting on Lightworks (after film). Avid systems were used by the assistants for media exchange with other departments. For all the rest, it was Media Composer all the way.

Features, serial TV, Longtime editors with years of experience in drama — Avid is still the gold standard, in part do to sheer inertia. But FCP 7 won a few years ago, “No Country for Old Men.” In a few years, it may all be different. As for this forum, FCPX or not … Why not? It should be in your toolkit. It’s easy to learn and it’s fun to use.

Also all of the last few Fincher films were cut on FCP 7. This includes several Best Editing Oscars.

I know Chris Rouse. He cuts on an Avid. My guess is, its all Avid.

That’s the case for the editing nominees. Some of the other films have a smattering of other choices. “Inside LLewyn Davis” was FCP7. Documentaries and foreign films are also an unknown. In the past, there were years where every doc nominee had been cut on FCP.

Oh, I know. I was just speaking to what little I know about the editing Noms.

Best Supporting Actress actually thanked her editor, Joe Walker. Cool!

Oops, sorry, Oliver. “FCPX is fun to use” … I should say, “Unless you’re using WAV files and OSX 10.9.2
