[Avid-L2] Re: The "tape is dead" thread

 


I'm guessing you haven't read Murch's book. His point was that shuttling gave him time to take a mental break which allowed other ideas to percolate, and also allowed him to be reviewing other shots flying by which often triggered entirely different ideas that could end up being better.

I personally used to experience this cutting shows on a linear edit system. Often I'd see a shot flying by that was even better than the shot I was heading to use.
