By Jim Bask 0 Comment February 5, 2018

When I started 20 years ago, post production was still very much a film medium, characterized by flatbed editing machines, film bins and racks of workprint.

Media Composer — Best of 2017

At the very least, come party with us at Avid Connectbefore we kick off NAB 2018!)
