Old school Avid editors are the absolute worst cunts though. I left uni in 2005 but didn't go down the usual, runner then assistant editor path so by the time I started interacting with them I was at that level.
I honestly couldn't believe how fucking useless they all were, absolutely incapable of working with out the assistant (who did most of the work), having absolute melt downs if anything went wrong (as they have no clue how to fix anything) and generally being arseholes.
What they were good at was completely bullshitting clients and post producers (who were generally no less clueless than clients)
No chance they'd survive today but they'd find work as tiktok grifters.
