Avid vs. Final Cut Pro
Had to jump back into an Avid for a gig this morning and man is it a rough transition.
I grew up editing on an Avid and I have to say, aside from a few tools, I absolutely despise them…
I hate the idea of ‘modal editing’ - let me drag clips around without having to hit an extra hot key…
And I absolutely hate the way that Avid forces you to import footage… “No rendering” they say… but I’d rather grab a cup of coffee when I’m almost done with a project than wait until all of my animation codec files import and get wrapped in a proprietary format…
All that being said, Avid’s are still everywhere and they still have their uses.
So - in case anyone wants a crash course on either system:
