To jump or not

[Bill Davis] “Back when I was starting out in the video dark ages, my clients had to ship hundreds and hundreds of VHS tapes to client stores. “

My first foot in the door was a dub monkey so I am well acquainted with miles and miles of video tape. First place I worked at had 13 decks (mix of VHS, BetaSP, DVD player/burner, DigiBeta, 3/4″ and 1″) but only a 6×6 router. That required some creative cabling on more than one occasion! haha

I’m not sure which was worse though, making piles of VHS tape screeners or the early days of DVD screeners where you had to use the remote to enter chapter info/labels one character at a time. Just thinking about it gives me a repetitive stress injury!

It was either PPro 7 or 8 I think.

[Bill Davis] “They interchange well, but they each must be learned separately.”

Understatement of the year!
