The King Mongoose asks: it’s been a while since I’ve sullied my hands with editing software and editors 😆 but what are you kids using these days? Does AVID even figure into your day-to-day these days?
BTW, editors, I realize most of you can’t read 🤣 but participation is key here! Post! Comment!
You’re probably right about Adobe killing it if they bought it.
I have been stuck in premiere land for years doing digital ad work and short form cooking shows. I’ve been wanting to get into more scripted content recently, but jobs aren’t really out there right now from what I’ve seen. And it’s hard to motivate myself to jump into Avid lol.
I did notice that when doing the editing union onboarding meeting, I was the youngest person in that room by at least 20-30 years. I do think avid is surviving only because of the aging professional editors who don’t want to change their workflow- I don’t blame them for that. But I do think the next few years might be the growth of a new generation of editors joining the film union, causing all sorts of havoc for how AEs work lol.
I can’t believe how many post houses I know have switched to Adobe Premiere! I remember when Premiere was a toy. Now it’s primarily Davinci Resolve and Premiere.
Thanks for your input!
