Re: [Avid-L2] Re: And Now a Word About Online Finishing

Umm. Well that is certainly the sensible way to do it. Focusing on a task at a time is the way we and suspect many others approach " multiline"

But this proves the case. The same machine and the same person is attempting to take an edit from start to finish or at least perform more than one role. Here the Avid typically runs out of ability before the artist or operator does. In many cases woefully short.

Many years back (when I lived in Australia) I was doing an article for
an Oz magazine on "offline is dead" because we were just getting the
ability to finish uncompressed on a desktop system. I was pretty gung
ho about that idea and ready to write off "offline" until I posted for
thoughts on the Avid-L (and others, but their responses were not
useful).

I became convinced that "offline" as a technical necessity was, in
fact, probably 'dead', but that "offline" as a state of mind was
definitely alive and well. Offline is about storytelling; online about
technical accuracy.

I ultimately wrote a follow up article on why "offline" was alive and
well - coining the term for what Curtis is describing as "multi-line"
- focus on storytelling; color correction; audio; titling etc one pass
(focus) at a time.
