Re: [Avid-L2] crowdsourcing an answer

As an aside, do you think that it matters which application any of these editors used at this point? (And I hope it is obvious that I don't include iMovie or Windows Movie Maker in my list of feature film editing applications.)

If the Social Network was edited on AVID instead of FCP would it have made a difference in the quality of their editing?

...just curious.
