old school for NLE editors

Yes, it is old technology, it is history but everyone still uses video tape. It is amazing how many adobe, final cut and avid editors know nothing about control track, ins and outs and don't even know how to read an EDL. They're all good until tape is involved. I agree the technology is old but much of the information is still being used. I know more than one filmmaker who could have used the production advice, including recording room tone.
