Great episode guys,

On the topic of video editing software, I think the main concern with the removal of timeline based editing and the introduction of storyboard style editing for consumer products like iMovie and Moviemaker is that students are learning editing techniques that are not common to industry software like Final Cut Pro and AVID. Schools should encourage students to edit with Timeline, layer based editing, like Final Cut Pro or Premiere Pro.
