Bad news first: I almost got killed on the way over, courtesy of directions from Google Maps that were flat out wrong.
Everything else is, well, interesting.
I have no broadcast experience, with the exception of shooting one story for J2100. But I've been using Avid Media Composer since August, and... it all converts. All Avid editing products seem to be alike. All Content Management Systems are alike. In all honestly I wasn't expecting to catch on so easily.
Something interesting: I got into a conversation with Stephanie about the Avid Content Management System. Apparently it's filled to capacity at a less-than-staggering 100 stories. KOMU.com is running an old version of the software, and being Avid, an update is expensive.
That's odd. Because Avid's editing software gets away with being pricey because it's not easy to put a good Non-linear Video Editor together. (Premiere is first becoming usable.) Content Management Systems, on the other hand, are available in abundance. They're open source, they're flexible, and they're free.
Am I missing something? Is there some critical feature that makes Avid's CMS somehow better than django, Drupal, or even a heavily modified WordPress? Especially in the age of H.264 streaming, when Adobe Flash is all you need to post video online.
