After posting the Avid vs Final Cut article I figured it would probably get picked up by other sites and I didn’t want to have any of my details wrong. So I posted the link to a few of the FCP-centric email discussion lists I haunt. I asked for some critiques and had a dozen excellent responses. After originally posting it, based on the feedback, the article went through one complete re-write (thanks Martin) and dozens of smaller tweaks and revisions. About the time I had it finished a few sites started linking to it, which pulled in some more comments – resulting in some tweaks on how Avid handles the color corrector across their product line (thanks George).

It was an interesting exercise for me. From finished Draft to Peer Review to Final in about 24 hours.

Reminds me of the explosion of training materials for all the software apps we use. It’s nearly impossible to know everything about anything other than some tiny teeny little corner of the world. And then, only if you completely wrap yourself in it. Otherwise, it’s always smart to ask for some help.

Thanks to everyone who offered their critique to help ensure that article was as accurate as we could make it.
