Technology's come on a bundle since I was at college. Back then we had an emac and a dv/vhs deck !

You were lucky, we had three SVHS machines and an edit controller. We could only use them for half an hour a day... if the day of the week had a T in it.

But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe ya'.


No, you were lucky! I was surrounded by quad machines with cue tone editors!

That's luxury. We had two VHS machines with jog/shuttle control and not even a sync lead.

Cue up record deck to in point, hit pause, then record to put it in record pause.
Play back the source material on the other machine from a few seconds before the in point. Hit pause on the record deck about a second or so before the in point.

I got to be quite good at it eventually. And splice editing audio.

Are all BBC network packages cut in a suite like that by a craft editor? I believe in the regions it's a mix and match of craft editors putting more complex stuff together and the journalists themselves editing more straightforward stuff at their newsroom desktops.


Yes, though some packages are cut 'in the field' where I think FCPX is now the preferred solution (rather than the Quantel Marco software-only editor)

Correct - it used to be Adobe Premiere before a move to FCP7 and then a transition to FCPX once it was considered ready to go.

Quantel seemed to lose their way with Marco. Initially they announced it as a low cost (free?) introduction to their editing ecosystem - then everything went very quiet...
