If you remember how Avid started it was a low rez (ugly) off-line system.
Just because they got the market share doesn't mean their EDL's look best.

For the type of editing I teach (narrative) a FireMax is real time cuts &
the organization skills - logging/batch/back-up are the same as the Avid.

I would have no trouble preparing for an Avid session with a FireMax EDL,
but I would lose quality transcoding to MJPEG from my native DV format.
