THE AVID/1 EDITING SYSTEM
This is the earliest known video of THE AVID/1 EDITING SYSTEM.
This was done in August 1987 and prior to the system being given its formal name -- THE AVID/1 MEDIA COMPOSER (that came much later, in 1989).
The video that you can see here is the early prototype that ran on an APOLLO WORKSTATION.
Notice that the editing model is quite different than the eventual source/record model that defined the product in its first release.
In this video, however, the filmstrip model is much more similar to early QUANTEL products.
In any case, enjoy.
It's a piece of digital nonlinear editing history.
Dave Skowronski, thanks for the post.
[What was all that about a "soft cut?" That was a telecine transfer gone wrong, not a soft cut! Also, they way he's talking, sounds like he's taking credit for those edits -- they just loaded THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, an already edited movie, so 99% of those edits he didn't make! Do a demo with the raw footage! Cheaters! Also, get the names straight of the footage your demo'ing before doing a demo.]
