That is truly amazing. Back when I saw it, it was primarily for 30 second spots. We had one feature narrative client editor try to use it, and her experience was basically disastrous. Kudos to those pioneering filmmakers who made it work.

Not sure about Top Gun, but Full Metal Jacket, Sweet Liberty and Making Mr. Right were all cut on Montage. That won the 1987 Scientific and Engineering Academy Award for the "Montage Picture Processor".

Montage possibly or EdiFlex

Those would both be the correct vintage... VHS/computer systems... You could stretch this to the CMX6000 I think

Later they had the videodisk based editing systems.

On Monday night I saw a documentary on TCM about films in the '80s.

The filmmaker said that the 1986 movie Top Gun was cut on a computer.

Does anyone know if that's true?

If so was it an Edit Droid or something?

Thx.

David
