Re: [Avid-L2] crowdsourcing an answer

I am just interested in the results as a sum total, not that any one film is better or worse than another because of the editing platform or even that one film PROVES how good it is by making a single film. My interest is in seeing that from 13 years of Emmy and Oscar nominated editors, how many - or what percentage - were cut on an Avid.

The people who won the awards and did the work were the talent behind the editorial success. But which NLE did they choose or have chosen for them?

I think that the overall answer is telling.
