The irony in all this to me is that while I use “insert/overlay sequence content” often, I don’t see it as a “FCP vs. Avid” issue. I see it as cutting from my daily rolls!
In my current case, our show has over a hundred small clips of Broll per shoot. It makes sense for us to form multiple “Broll” sequences and just scroll through them when looking for footage. It also allows us to screen our content numerous times during the process; and I’m a believer in the old adage that the more you see your footage, the more things will pop out of it. Systems are fast enough these days that there’s no perceivable bog.
Different strokes, different folks. I’ll be cutting on a Vista avid this wednesday.
