I spent about 10 years in TV production land.

The AVIDs that showed up in my last years there were for a few elite producer/directors and an editor first and foremost.

All the lesser nobodies had to book late night and weekends if they could get in at all.

Mere working serfs were forbidden to even go into the suites for a while. Never mind me and a few others knew way more about computers and software than the elite.

I don’t miss the super duper CMX edit system or that Abekas A34.

The file based editors that showed up in our TV station were Media 100s.

Once we had four Media 100 Suites set up, nobody touched the 1" A-B roll suite ever again. CMX edit controller, Grass Valley 100 switcher, Ampex ADO, and an I-can't-remember-the-brand-but-it-wasn't-Chyron character generator.
