[Avid-L2] Re: Why isn't Avid marketing all over this story?

Dom,

This is really old news for us.

To answer your question: We're an all FCP shop. Have been for five years now. The show came to us, so there never was a question as to which system we'd use. Of course it would be FCP and X-SAN. Many of the editors on season six had been with us for a long time, so their transition to FCP was done years ago. Yes, they "used to be" Avid editors. Way back when (five years ago) we paid for their training to transition to FCP. We only felt it was fair. Now... you either come to the party with the skills to play on our field or you find somewhere else to play.

By the way, five years ago, out of the 100 editors we "transitioned" only ONE refused to go. Since then, we've never looked back.

I think it's interesting to note that we didn't even think it was news to post an article about "Project Runway" now cutting on FCP. It was just business as usual.

Anyone who knows me or the company I work for understands that a shared storage, group based workflow with FCP is quite possible. In fact, we've pioneered the integration of post, story, music, and production using AFP connections, iMacs and many other tricks that just aren't possible with Unity. The old "shared project" cry is just irrelevent to us. We've come up with workflows and media organization methods that actually play to the strengths of FCP media management.
