For me the NLE doesn’t consciously play into my editing technique.
While the technology keeps changing and evolving, my approach to editing has remained primarily the same since I was taught as an assistant.
I was taught the method of first creating a solid a-roll with a music bed and then filling in b-roll imagery, sound design, and graphics afterwords.
I think the constant improvements in NLE technology allow me to better organize material which in turn leads me to create more effective pieces. But I don’t consciously change my editing approach or method based on any NLE features.
I Hate Television. I Hate It As Much As Peanuts. But I Can’t Stop Eating Peanuts.
