What editing software do you use, Avid or Adobe Premiere?

TL;DRThey use Adobe Premiere and the wider Adobe Suite; the Squadron 42 team uses Avid software to work through dailies and revise the script.

We use the entire Adobe Suite.

We use the entire Adobe Suite, yes, but they wanted to know if we used Avid or Adobe Premiere. We use Premiere.

We do not have an Avid machine. Actually, we do. We do have an Avid machine. It's on the other half of the office. They're using the Avid machine for Squadron 42 dailies.

I wonder if it's the same one, because Chris had one back in the Wing Commander movie days.

The hardware's pretty recent, though. I had to work on it when we were doing the CitizenCon timeline retrospective.

It's not actually an Avid machine. It used to be called the Avid. It was actually a machine. Now it's a software program. Some people still call it the Avid. When it first came out, it was a machine called the Avid. Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier used the Avid to cut Chasing Amy and stuff like that. Now it's software. It runs on a PC just like our Premiere does. They're actually not cutting dailies with it. They're rewriting the script, using the dailies to make changes. So if an actor improvs a line, they're going back and looking at that footage and changing the master script.

To answer the question, we use Adobe Premiere.
