[QuadList] Changes in Post over the years (was Electronic Editing Notes)

[Trevor Brown]

Interesting Bill 

I never saw anything but Push and Pray on VR 7800

Insert 3 second cycle out of edit was a problem for drop ins

VR 650 was worse with 7 seconds

 

Hated the VR 7800 machine format with its hole in the picture

Thought IVC Alpha wrap was a better idea

But I think it was several years later

Hi  Park,
I just read this group, and remembered that I came from designing the
helical editor on the VR-7800, and then moving into Product Management,
designing and showing a two M/C backspace editor @ NAB, being talked out of
marketing it by RWC, and then moving to California. 
Note: This backspace editor predated the U-matic products by many years!!!

Then, I found out that NOBODY used "assemble editig" on Quads, since you
switched from a control track locked playback to a random reference
generator at the recording point!
In 1967, on the VR-7800, we used a mutli-tooth tach on the capstan, and
compared it to the control track and locked to the closest pulse which
caused a very good, clean move into recoded portion of Assemble edit. I
could build edits all day. never a problem and have Quad folks shaking their
heads and not understanding what we were doing, and realizing that they
could not do on their Quads.

George,

 

I did that with some key employees but I was told it may not hold up in
court since you can't prevent someone from earning a living. And what do you
do if they refuse to sign a non-compete? Fire them?


Best,

Park

Wonder if it might be good idea to put something in the employment contract
that might stop this.  There was a case on the news in the past couple years
where some pet shop owner had such an agreement with his employees.  One of
them quit and was dog walking within a few blocks, the pet business owner
all but had the guy sent to Sing Sing for violating his employment contract.
