Avid came a few years after Quantel but only as a low end version for offline proxy editing. Then came the Quantel Domino film editor and a Kodak cineon system for 2k film. Cost with paint box and encore was 500k up to a million dollars. There were other but players before but it’s was the Quantel Harry in 86/87 then Henry systems that were the first all in one non linear edit, colour grading and visual effects systems. Premier and Avid softwares we not even around back then. Ironically it was Quantel who more than anybody created the non linear digital editing and visual effects world we all enjoy today. Concerned about a networks value in their editors/preditors if they make them use outdated or no name software.
But has anyone used it? Is it legit? Legit’s not the right word but oh well.
My current network doesn’t value it’s marketing or promo department and don’t want to get stuck in the same sitch after moving across the country should I get the job.Īm I missing something? I am absolutely reading too much into it. Mostly everywhere I have worked uses Avid or Premiere.
I am not worried about learning it but concerned that this network may not value their video editors if they buy something that isn’t Avid or Premiere. WTF if Quantel? I know I am relatively young so realize I could be missing something. I had a job interview for a major national sports network and they told me they use Quantel. Apparently we are one of 2 networks in the US that uses this Sony system. My current network mainly uses Sony (not sure what) except for my department. I came up on FCP (before X), moved onto Avid and am now on Premiere. In 1992, Quantel released 'Henry', the first multilayer compositing system, which became the worldwide industry standard for commercials production and went on to win the British Government's Queen's Award for Export Achievement, Quantel's 9th such award.I’ve been editing in a professional cable network environment for about 10 years. This aside, the Harry was quite an advanced machine, and the only system like it for its time. Due to technical constraints of the time, the Harry could only record 80 seconds of video, albeit encoded in full broadcast-quality, uncompressed -style 8-bit format. Technically, it was the first all-digital system, since it could also do editing of the video that was recorded on the Harry.
The hard disk array used drives made by, and were connected to the Harry using a proprietary parallel interface, much like a modern-day array. The Harry was designed to render special effects in non-real time to the video recorded on its built-in hard disk array (much like most computer based today). In 1985, Quantel released the 'Harry' effects compositing system/non-linear editor.
