I started editing on 1 inch, progressed through many formats and equipment changes. I regulary have my programmes & inserts on all of the UK terrrestrial tv channels. Over the 20 years or so, I've been promised many times that equipment will do everything and make the tea at the same time.
This is why I'm a 'Doubting Thomas' when it comes to manufacturers claims – don't get involved with the hype & only believe it when you've done it yourself – its your money!!!
