Re: [Avid-L2] Re:So you young whippersnappers might know where we're coming from...

Anybody remember Montage? That weird, Rube Goldberg attempt at non-linearity consisted of a bunch of Betamax cassettes loaded with the same dailies, all cueing up and playing their little piece of the list, ideally at the right time. Thankfully, I never worked on it. I loaded it only once when I was an assistant, and I managed to avoid it thereafter.
I started my offline career on 3/4", which was bad enough. As to online, I would never have done it if non-linearity hadn't come along. That's because I've always been more interested in making things pretty, than in learning the specific configuration of a room with equipment from eight different manufacturers.

One of my first non linear systems was a digital linear room with a Pluto DDR
and an Accom Axial 3000. Load your edl, conform all the shots onto the ddr and
then go into Graphical Mode and you could swap shots around, add fades, then go
back to list mode, and layback to tape. Not true non linear, but a cool and fast
way to swap stuff around without manually modifying your edl.

With an Accom 4 channel DDR, you could load four machines at once.
It was pretty sweet.
Yeah kids, we built edls, not just export them as part of the deliverables.

The first time I saw that you could enter a TC an go to it instead of searching
for a trim I was in heaven.
