    Sigh. I still remember the week Apple discontinued FCP7. I was working at a VFX studio, and we had jobs scheduled and freelancers booked... And then we just couldn't get any more FCP7 licenses to scale up a project in progress. It was baffling. I'm not surprised the industry is still super skeptical of trusting Apple going forward even years and years later even though FCPX today basically has the technical features that are good enough to cut a feature. If Apple gets bored again half-way through a big project, you'll be left holding the bag with a screaming client. Once bitten, twice shy, etc.

    • @chrisnielsen9885

      I remember this, I was still in film school when this happened and I held for dear life to my fcp7 version until 2015, keeping an old MacBook Pro for this. At some point, the Mac couldn’t handle it anymore and I had to switch to premier. It felt inferior than fcp7. I switched to resolve early in 2021 and it’s been the best. As much as I’d like to try Final Cut again, it just feels like a waste of time. Specially since very few professionals use it.

    Welcome back Michael! Always great to hear your perspective.
    I manage the editorial department at a large VFX facility. Of course, we are heavily embedded in Avid software and hardware but that isn’t necessarily always a good thing. The ‘kids’ in the department (anyone under 28 😂) hate Media Composer and much prefer Premiere. We also use that and Resolve. Basically I don’t care as long as the work is getting done. The one thing I usually say is I’d like to see Premiere and Resolve cope with some of the complicated Timelines and 40TB+ of media we have on some projects!

      I didn't understand why anyone used Avid for a long time, because I wasn't disciplined enough to learn it (very difficult to learn). Then I learned it. Now I can answer your question. Avid is by far the most stable system out there. If set up correctly, you can make massive projects and never worry about slowdowns or crashes (everything has bugs, but rare in Avid). Avid has the best cutting tools. It is the best place for your project timelines "home." Round tripping is an extra step, but if you understand it, it adds about 5 minutes to your day. Resolve is amazing and should be at least #2 on this list. One day it might overtake Avid in Hollywood, but it still might be a number of years.

      @@codygrissom1846 Not too sure where you're getting your information but Avid is far from stable, and from my experience has plenty of bugs and crashes just as much as any other program. On top of this it is very inflexible with codecs and format and requires multiple edit assists to setup any major project. Round tripping can be very painful depending on the project/graphical/vfx/audio elements involved. Sure some Hollywood facilities may persist with it for more years to come, but its time is limited and the others like Resolve are better, cheaper and the next generation knows how to use them.

    Resolve is simply not ready for film editing. Editors have been asking for specific things on BMD's forum for a long time and they prefer adding gadgets and showing off stuff rather than basic editing tools. So until then, they'll be an outsider in the film and long form documentary world.

      @@Kobratero The biggest issue is sound related. If you load a clip with multiple audio tracks in the viewer, there is no simple way to deselect one of those tracks. For instance, if one of the audio tracks is a radio mic and you just want to hear this one, you can't easily solo this track. Which is a real pain in the butt as when you're editing fiction or documentary, it's pretty often that you need to match frame a clip from a timeline and be able to quickly check the audio tracks.
      And if your clips are multicam, it's even worse with the sound.

    I started with avid more than 20 years ago, and since then I've worked with all the other software mentioned. I recently installed the Studio version of Resolve at home and I must say I like it. Of all the software, Premiere is perhaps the one I dislike the most - I feel it's a patchwork, full of complications. I'm also not a fan of the interface, which is full of little buttons and tools that aren't very accessible. In any case, as Mr. Kammes says, the tool is only effective if the user is talented and experienced.

    I agree with everything said in this video. As someone who works in Hollywood in Post-Production, Avid Media Composer is still number one. Not because the software is the best, but mainly because of the workflow between offline and online in the total post workflow. I think it's an outdated workflow, but I'm a part of the new age of editors who learned how to use multiple NLEs and not just one. I use Avid when working on a TV show and DaVicini Resolve for all my freelance projects. I still use Premiere occasionally but only when it's required.

    I imagine Avid is still the king of Hollywood editing, only because it's been used for that for so long and editors of major videos tend stick with what they know. I am personally an amateur Resolve user for some time now. It has made a great deal of headway since I started using it (v14). I have little doubt that many younger editors looking to find their way into the business are playing with Resolve - if for no other reason, they can afford it and it offers seriously good features. And they'll carry that forward as their careers advance.
    Obviously, Resolve is already used heavily by serious colorists, but just for that functionality.

    • @michaelkammes
      @michaelkammes  Місяць тому +2

      Prior to the acquisition by Blackmagic, there wasn't an all encompassing standard. If TV, it was usually Symphony. The offline edits were done in Media Composer, so opening up the same project in Symphony made the conform and grade really seamless. Resolve at the time was ~$500,00 give or take (depending on options) and not everyone could afford that, hence the other tools. Also, other tools often had some light VFX ability (Autodesk, for example) so often onlines would lean that way.
      Resolve was a solution at the time, but not a juggernaut.

    UA-cam Creators recently released a video showing how several UA-camrs are starting to compete with Hollywood on UA-cam Premier. Those UA-camrs that are putting out high quality and engaging content are seeing a rise in viewers actually viewing content on TVs. These content creators are not using Avid, they are using Adobe, Final Cut, and Resolve. I don't think the competition for editing software is in Hollywood, I think the competition is in content creation and that is the area that is going to really drive editing innovation. It's also the area where I think Blackmagic is really the one that can take the lead here. I'd be more interested in knowing what content creators are using, as opposed to Hollywood.

    • @michaelkammes
      @michaelkammes  Місяць тому +2

      You bring up very interesting points. The inherent problem is that Hollywood workflows have become pretty defined and streamlined; the Creator world has not. So many tools exist and so many creators are small teams that improvised content creation and iteration is common. A video such as this wouldn't be possible (or, as defined and clear-cut) as one on the Creator economy.
      I can say, without hesitation, that as Creators get bigger they end up using Hollywood type workflows. I consult on this *weekly*. Folks in charge realize reliability, predictability, and resiliency are needed when money is at stake and bespoke solutions can't exist in this environment. The only exception to this is usually Avid. Creators grow, but don't seem to move to Avid unless they're using an existing post facility.

      I always tell myself that I should round-trip to a DAW but FCP's timeline makes audio editing and mixing so much quicker and more intuitive. So I end up using Logic only in special cases when I really need a very specific feature; like the binaural panner...

    Learned on Avid, moved to premiere when i went solo as it was cheap compared to Avid. Looked at going Apple but Final Cut went to X and made thier product trash. About 8 years or so ago i switched to Resolve and don't regret it at all.

      @@michaelkammes True. However, since Resolve is ok with 90% of users using the free tear, we can deduce it it not a huge revenue income source. They rely on hardware and cloud services. FCP is pretty much free also (90 day trial). If they make a minor upgrade you get another 90 days. It's safe to deduce that Apple is happier selling mac studios and monitors to the industry than being the leading software in that sector. Which makes a lot of sense to me.

    I have avid media composer and for editing it’s solid. Barely had crashes and it just worked. Unfortunately the company is slow to implement any new features that compare with adobe or resolve. Hollywood studios have different departments (editing, sound, color) so they don’t need a one all be all. Avid did drop the ball on creating a color tool smh. If you’re not trying to be a Hollywood editor then it’s not worth knowing.

    • @hruettimann
      @hruettimann Місяць тому +3

      Avid actually does have some unique features. But I think the reason people stay with a specific editing software is mostly habit. Changing software is daunting, takes a lot of time, effort and often also money (eg if you have invested in property hardware solutions like in broadcast or feature film industry). It is risky changing proven workflows, especially with big crews and many different parties and software involved.
      Edited software do all the very same thing in their core - make cuts and build a sequence of moving pictures. So why change?

    • @lamlo
      @lamlo Місяць тому +3

      To answer your second question first, no, I believe other NLEs are way better than MC when you compare the feature sets of just the NLE itself.
      But as for why someone might still use it in 2024, apart from what @hruettimann said, it's probably because high budget films and shows outsource everything to different departments and rarely do everything in the same software or ecosystem. It's also unlikely that each of these departments will be using the same software as the picture editor too. Sound will be most likely be done in Pro Tools or Nuendo , color in Resolve or Baselight, VFX compositing in Nuke or AE, which leaves editors only having to deal with managing and editing the offline media, which MC excels at.
      This doesn't mean that you can't use other NLE's for this task, but MC is really stable at handing over AAFs and EDLs for turnovers, and now that it's finally able to export a Pro Tools ptx file, things will get a lot easier for the sound department.
      Other editors that don't have the budget of a major feature film will find the Adobe Suite or DaVinci Resolve more than enough for their needs.

    • @michaelkammes
      @michaelkammes  Місяць тому +1

      Hello! It's not incredibly difficult, but it does have multiple steps. First, you'll need to "rip" a DVD so the movie file(s) exist on your computer instead of a disc. This can be tricky, as most DVDs actively prevent ripping, as it can be used for piracy. Once the file is ripped to your computer, you can then edit it with any number of video editing solutions. The ones I've mentioned in the video are overkill for what you need. Once editing, you can export the edited movie into a format that you can play on your computer.
