AVID vs FCP Generations

(From The Avid Yahoo User's Group)

The current generation of editors will by and large stay with AVID because they are older and comfortable with AVID. They came from a linear or film workflow and AVID makes sense to them.

This is not true of the next generation.

These folks have grown up with FCP and file-based workflows. The film and linear analogies upon which AVID was founded are quite foreign.

I truly see this next generation continuing to gravitate towards FCP as they get into a position of being the lead cutters.

This is why the educational market is now so critical for AVID.
