[David Berez] “But the Fischer Price packaging is killing me. Bottom line, after 20 something years of non linear editing interfaces I should not be embarrassed to share my screen with my clients. How the heck do we justify our professional rates when the interface looks like it was designed for 14 year olds?”
I think it’s just an issue you have to come to terms with David. I kind of getting where you coming from. It does not (added after re reading and an edit) feel like you are a the controls of some mighty thing that nobody else can understand or do. It is almost within reach of (in fact is) iMovie users who want to do some simple stuff. It doesn’t make you feel grown up or professional enough. I am no taking the piss here, I felt the same but didn’t know quite how to put it into words.
What can I say. You get used to it. Then don’t notice it. The you look at other NLE interfaces one day and they all look rathe fussy and unnecessarily old school “source record”
I was embarrassed that my ‘pro’ interface looked to the untrained eye like iMovie.
I got over it. You will too.
