doctorfrog posted:There's this Christopher Priest book I haven't read yet, but it's about a city built on top of railroad tracks and there's this whole industry (I assume) of people running ahead and building new track while another dismantles the one behind it. I dunno what it's all supposed to be about as I haven't read it, but it feels like we're in that city sometimes, so busy building the present and near future that even the recent past is disintegrating faster than we can archive it... in formats that haven't passed any test of time. A similar concept is explored in China Mieville's Iron Council. In the conclusion of the book, the train is literally frozen in time, an eternal present unable to achieve the future it was building the tracks for and unable to become the past.

Just finished that book and you beat me to the post.  I liked it, although it took me a bit to get used to the writing style.

Sorry for another LGR video so soon. But I posted ages back that I used to have a laptop with a built in inkjet printer. And wow the nostalgia when he opened one up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJxHhRTmZaw&t=841s

I work for a reasonably large company, that in TYOOL 2017, was still using AOL Instant Messenger as the messaging service of choice for its employees around the globe to keep in touch with each other.  I used it numerous times per day for quick questions/conversations that weren't worth an email, and I even had the iOS AIM app installed on my phone for my AIM-on-the-go needs.They finally dragged us all onto Slack a while back, undoubtedly because they found out that AIM itself was finally shutting down.

Probably a niche thing: A lot of 'reporters' at CES mentioning how the new hardware/monitors work with Adobe Premiere and/or Sony Vegas. When I was an editor we would scoff at anyone bothering to to use those. It was all about AVID Media Composer as king. Have times changed, or are we just talking different price markets? Obviously AVID had dedicated FPGA boards to interface to Decks etc, but i still can't get my head around the whole 'LOL amatuers use Adobe and us pros are blitzing away with AVID MC' To clarify I would export footage from MC into After Effects for effects, use Photoshop for graphics and import them into AVID MC. Am I just a product of institutionalation? I am probably really explaining this badly. Humphreys has a new favorite as of 15:55 on Jan 12, 2018 |

Humphreys posted:I am probably really explaining this badly. 'When I was working, we lol'd @ adobetards' and then 'I just can't understand where this Adobe Newb vs AVID Uberallies mentality came from! ' Though, I think the presence of AVID is (aside from inertia) probably a result of doing things better than Premiere Pro. I know I've had a few times when APP just shits out a random render error, or loses the audio from a file. It can be finnicky. Also the reporting is probably geared towards the 'prosumer/Social media/Streamer' base, who probably uses Sony/Adobe in place of AVID for whatever reasons. That and, as you mentioned, AVID has a whole mess of things crafted to help workflow that probably wouldn't appeal to a person making tubevideos.

The Kins posted:From looking around, Avid is still very popular inside the Hollywood studio system, while Premiere is in second place and more common outside of Hollywood after Final Cut Pro X turned a lot of people off. There are some exceptions, of course - Deadpool was edited using Premiere - but it still seems to be largely Avid in the big time. Premiere is usually used for online conforming. It isn't brilliant at doing lots of files and while Deadpool or Mindhunter are a small exception, there was a lot of technical teams helping out. It's slowly getting to the big time. It's main strength is that it reads most things out of the box and doesn't need footage to be transcoded before editing. Davinci Resolve is the new kid on the block as the free version is pretty feature packed to be very useable that Adobe is panicking as it's taking out the student and indie market. AVID has moved into the free market with First, a whittled down version of the main program but it's pretty so so at the moment.

WebDog posted:AVID still is the leader. Mainly because of its Nexus file server and the program's speed in indexing and accessing large amounts of data. Granted the interface is stuck in the 90s. Didn't Adobe take over a lot of the people who used to use FCP7 until Apple poo poo the bed with FCPX?

Instant Sunrise posted:Didn't Adobe take over a lot of the people who used to use FCP7 until Apple poo poo the bed with FCPX? Before that Premiere was mainly a DV based editor that had a cult following from the 90s. Back then it was popular for ad firms and corporate / instructional video creators. Back in 1991 the program was the first to allow fully digital to digital non linear capture and editing. However the ability to process full online resolution in system didn't really come into play till the mid 2000s. Stuff still went from proxy to tapes. Adobe briefly dropped support for Apple for a few years as it was pointless to compete with FCP7. FCP7 was actually a Macromedia product that no one really knew what to use it for, so they sold it off to Apple, where it was mostly forgotten. Slowly it developed a cult following until people worked out how to do the conversion between film to DV tape and back. Then Walter Murch cut Cold Mountain and this $1200 off the shelf software undercut $150,000 AVIDs. Apple took notice and put more resources into developing FCP after that. FCPX has gotten much better in the years to come, but still has its reputation as iMovie Pro to shake.

FilthyImp posted:Yes, since some of your question gets lost around: Thanks, it probably stems from my training in AVID and I was exposed to only AVID workflows. Strangely I was fully Adobe in University but as soon as I worked for my first studio it was 'forget it all, learn THIS'. Strangely the whole company was agnostic about Apple vs PC. I was given a +$15k HP workstation to work on, but I also had an G5(?) tower on the same desk. Going through my old work photos this is one of the only ones with both towers, it's of me being a smartass seeing if USB 'readyboost' actually works:  And an idea of my lovely setup prior to the workstation upgrade:  ^ That was my 3D modeling and email desk, behind me was this editing station:

This is my second one. It's taken quite a beating, and the volume knob is from some other kind of machine, but it works well. My first was a beautiful TC-D5M, but it was slow and needed mechanical service, so I sold it on. But the WM-D6C, man! What a beast! With my other hifi stuff I have 6 devices that will play tapes.
