Glad to hear you enjoyed the video!

I know this is off topic but im a bit surprised AVID is his choice of software. Myself and most editors I know use Adobe these days. AVID was the gold standard about 15-20 years ago.

Editors software don't matter. Adobe is fantastic, David Fincher uses it frequently. Lots of Hollywood blockbusters have recently been edited on DaVinci Resolve. And lots of people know how capable final cut is. Doesn't matter at all.

Avid is still the industry standard for Union films & scripted tv shows. I use Premiere on personal short-form projects. In the ends these are just tools to tell stories and we should be able to use them all. Thanks for watching!

The complexity of Avid is extremely rewarding, it works with old standards, and old ways of doing things, which lead you to learn more technical aspects of post. While it may dissapear in a few years (or not, who knows), what you might learn from Avid will be handy knowledge if, either, you need to use it, or if you need to delve into more technical aspects of stuff like media linking or the online process. It also demands of you to be more rigorous with how you organize and treat your files, which isn't the case with Premiere and Resolve. Knowing how to organize files correctly is extremely important if you want to be an assistant editor. Imo, at any given time, someone should be able to ask you for a specific clip amongst a thousand others, and get it from you in 3 minutes max. It also opens you up to more opportunities. Everyone knows Premiere, but Avid takes quite a bit of time to learn. I needed to take a class to understand it and get a feel of the software, for example. This is why I agree Avid is useful to learn, and see it as a great software to become an AE. Of course, Premiere and Resolve are great, but there's just something with Media Composer that they just don't have.

@@jeaf7 Well, I just gave my 2 cents as a young AE. I think I learned useful things out of learning Avid. I don't think it is necessary to learn it to be a good AE, though. It just worked for me.

I'm not the guy then lol. My Mantra is mind your own business
