you'd be surprised how many editors still work linearly, even in a non-linear world.
I have had clients tell me that I am twice as fast as other editors in town. Then in hangin with those editors and talking shop, I find that they build what they think is a finished show from the top. Some admit to milking the clock when doing this and others just do it because thats how they did it back in the record each event to a tape daze.
Either case is dangerous. We have talked about the lack of experience in some of today's producers but all producers, no matter how much experience they have, know a painful drawn-out session when they are victim to one.
