Well, said. I use whatever NLE is called for or in some cases imposed by the client. In this business you have to learn new technologies all the time. How to operate any NLE is the very least of it.

Over the last few years I have used X on a few projects that fit and it performed well – stability issues aside – in limited circumstances. But just the way command Z selectively performs is enough to keep me from ever thinking of using it in any sort of long form situation. If Apple is really headed somewhere good with this then I will follow. But I don’t see it happening. They just don’t seem to be looking to address complex workflows. And they also seem to making a small fortune not doing so.

And that question is usually answered in the contract you sign. Bottom line is in most cases even when I’ve given up the project file contractually, no one knows what to do with it. And then it comes back to me.

Indeed. Took me a long time to come to terms with giving them my project files. That used to be considered (until about a year ago) intellectual property.

Absolutely agreed. But the other fifty percent don’t care what you cut on if you can satisfy their deliverables. So I guess that makes my “no one cares what you cut on” comment about fifty percent wrong.

The comment was not about editors but those who are taking delivery (and making the rules.)

To expand on the “no one cares what you cut on.” If you can deliver the content in the way the people who are paying you specify, they do not give a flying f*** what you cut it on.

7 is a dead end? No one cares what you cut on. No one.

Not in terms of translatable databasing.
