And at long last the technology is accessible to all which will result in the best stories yet.
The real job for avid and the rest going forward is removing complexity without limiting capability. I see 7 as a small step in this direction but the most astonishing example lately is davinci resolve 10. Sit down start grading, they've done an inspirational job of reducing complexity.
At some point the technology will get out of the way and we'll just be manipulating images once more.
In this vein I see things like camera files having all the metadata read by aces enabled edit systems, clips named via OCR from the slate, plural eyes automated rushes syncing on import again with audio files renamed to match their video, a true colour pipeline with XML carrying every grading decision forwards from in set to offline to grade to online. In situ version handling allowing a view of every option that's ever been at that point in the timeline as well as auto syncing of alternative angles and so on. The edit systems aren't finished - they're just getting started.
In 20 years time I hope the next guys are looking at these posts saying yeah I remember when we had to enter reel numbers and keep files in the same place to avoid problems...
The future is just as interesting as the past and as amusing as old tyme edit stories are it's also much more exciting.

Most of them are interested in story though... even if they don't resemble the stories we grew up with as much.JamesOn Nov 26, 2013, at 6:17 PM, johnrobmoore wrote:And what do young people smell like?
