 I can see where it would be useful for the long form stuff you do.

 

I have to give you credit, I don't think i could even operate a linear room anymore

Well, we are a religious cable network, and we produce our own series, lots of them.  Sometime we need to add graphics, like name bars and full pages with text, in post.  Instead of digitizing 13 episodes at 28:30 per, adding graphics and then outputting them back to tape, we just roll them down and add the graphics real-time, in linear.

Another thing done in linear is tagging ?coming up? spots, with graphics according to the schedule. 

And it?s all in DVC-Pro or BETA-SP. 

 

That being said, it?s very, very rare that I ever edit anything in linear, but sometimes one of the linear editors is sick or out of town and I get some overtime.  ;-)

My job, well at least 99% of the time, is making the opens, name bars, and credit beds to the shows we produce.  The DS has been great for us because we really do crank out the shows.

What sort of work goes into those rooms instead of nonlinear?, and why?

 

what sort of gear, back to 20 layers of digi-beta/D2 pre-read?

People still edit in linear suites?!?

 

1998 was my last time in a linear room, how many linear rooms out there are still going?

Hey, just make all the changes you want.  Then we'll ripple the list, hit auto-assemble, hide our eyes and pray.

What's funny is when I do edit in a linear suite, I'm reflexively looking for the 'save' button all of the time.

LOL - You got that right!!

 

That's how I punched a hole in a 1" master 15 years ago.  Young and cocky.  Now older and grumpy...err I mean wiser.  If I could only have an undo button for my life.

 i can deal with that. then again, a linear editor does none of these things, they just work when you push the button. no HAL errors, no rendering, or Drives error. or capturing...
