>>2994920Once again, that's ridiculous. Editors are artists, not technicians. They'll never get outsourced because they need to work face to face with directors and DPs and much of their job is done with a director standing right over their shoulder asking for real-time changes. Top-level editors are chosen for their sense of timing and ability to cut to suit the director's preferences without constant supervision, too.
Besides, they're union, and IATSE 700 is one of the most prestigious and protective guilds in the industry. Pajeet isn't much of a concern there.
Now, it might be a totally different story for people working outside the industry, doing corporate videos or something, but nobody gives a fuck about them. There are also people who just do stuff like turning the lead editor's low-res cut into full res and stuff like that, but that's a different job from what a real editor does. Those guys need scripts and stuff, sure, but actual editors don't.
You might be able to argue that an amateur doing everything themselves could use scripting and stuff, but I don't see that much of an issue because they're not working on deadline and can afford to do things more slowly.
>>2994922Working with DV is also annoying because after capture you've got one clip for the whole tape, instead of nice separate clips for every shot. Software might be able to automatically fix that during capture now, though, I haven't fucked with DV in so long that I wouldn't know.
