The following is a comment I posted on youtube about a promo of the CMX600
system in the 70's
You know what I love about this CMX promo? The Editor has the music chart
in front him as far as I can see. LOVE IT! The pacing of this video shows
the reality of actually making edits that make sense. It is tedious and
boring to watch it happen if you're not an editor, which is not a bad thing.
It's the reality of sitting in an edit session where lots of thought goes
into the edit before a keyboard is touched. It does not show the bull sh-t
prebaked demos that most of todays NLE manufacturers put together. You
actually have to have an attention span to watch this. I love this, but I'm
almost 50 so it's to be expected at my age.
I then share the youtube video with my son who is in RTA (Radio Television)
at Ryerson University. Now the key is, the video is in 2 parts equaling
about 15 minutes worth of on screen content showing the CMX600 making 2 or 3
edits.
3 minutes go by since I email the youtube link to him. I go up to his room
and asked if he was watching it. (the rest of us would have another 10 or 12
minutes left on the video)
He said "yes, I saw it", I asked him how? the first part of the video is *10
minutes long*!
"I SKIMMED THROUGH IT" This is exactly the audience I'm speaking of!
