Did you dislike SPR? Just curious. It kept my attention, even if the latter portion of the story was a little on the trite side. Also, the editor's name is Walter Murch. My correction is not meant to be offensive. He's a great editor (Apocalypse Now, The English Patient, Ghost, among them), I just wanted to let you know.

  I didn't know. I wonder if he edits his movies on an Avid? If he still cuts film, he's one of the very fortunate few.

    I don't think anyone cuts features on film anymore.
    A couple of books you may find interesting are...
    "In the Blink of an Eye" written by him and "The Conversations : Walter Murch and the Art of Editing Film" which is a a conversation between Murch and the author of the book The English Patient.
    He's a bit full of himslef but both are interesting reads.

      ...Murch begain working on Final Cut Pro. As a long time "Avid-ophile" who only recently scoped out the FCP interface I don't yet get why someone might prefer FCP...but I plan to spend more time with it in the near future...

        I've now done 3 projects with FCP and I still greatly prefer the Avid but I was surprised how user friendly FCP can be. The place I work has Adrenalines with G5's and that can run the Avid or FCP. It still doesn't do media management well enough for most of the people/companies I know to switch to it full time but they're all - based on what a miserable, gouging copmany Avid has been - looking forward to the day when it's relaible enough to replace Avid.
