I meant for my station. We definitely weren't looking at Lightworks. I remember hands-on demos of Media 100 and Avid MC 5.0 in 1992. I can't remember the specific reasons for picking Avid over M100.
I remember seeing a Lightworks as my FIRST ever "eyes on" NLE at a station in San Francisco, though... probably in 1991.
That was probably the serious contender for a lot of film editors or spot editors back in the day, but not for my TV station. We were cutting promos mostly. After years of shuttling and racking 1" video tapes, I SOOO loved random access to footage. "What? You mean I don't have to put the other reel up to cut in a shot from the second half of the movie? NO WAY!!! That is so awesome! And I don't have to shuttle for 5 minutes to see a scene at the end of the reel? I just CLICK? TOTALLY COOL!"
"Wait a minute... what's a ... "render? Why do we have to do THAT?"
