[QuadList] QuadList Digest, Vol 9, Issue 9 NOW Jack Calaway

[C. Park Seward]

Sounds like the time I met Dave Bargen, the founder of ISC video  
editing that became Grass VPE series and then Editware. Dave was at  
the open house of a mega facility in Dallas when they were having  
trouble with a switcher. During preroll, everything looked fine until  
right before the dissolve, the switcher took the same source on both  
busses and did a dissolve to the same VTR, which of course showed  
nothing. Certainly not the dissolve from A to B that we planned. Well,  
Dave sat down and pressed a few buttons and the edit screen filled  
with numbers. Dave scrolled down a few, changed one row of numbers and  
then the numbers disappeared to show the standard edit screen. "Try it  
now", he said. And it worked perfectly.

Best,
Park
