I have moved the following to talk since there are no citations to back these "facts" up. Fountains of Bryn Mawr 21:54, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Despite the inefficiency, Moviolas have a few subtle advantages over digital film editing:
* Undoing a cut with a Moviola and film splicer is time-consuming and complicated, thus and editor is liable to be more careful with the cuts he makes.
* Moviola cutting is done with rushes, and under most circumstances only one print of the rushes is ever struck. This makes multiple concurrent versions of a film, created by studio heads, producers, or other third parties to the director, a practical impossibility.
* When cutting on a Moviola, it is impossible to make one-off copies of a version of the film, without sending the work print off to telecine. Thus, it becomes very difficult to pirate a copy of the film out of the editing room.
Hello, everybody, can I suggest that there is no interrelation between a given brand of editing device and the style one evolves ? I think it´s rather the physical presence of film which makes an editor behave differently at work. In reaction to the statements above I´d like to say, editor myself, that of course you can have several prints off a take. That is nothing else what you do in electronic compiling, it´s been here since decades. Naturally film positives will cost more money than digital clones. To close my point here, “inefficiency” is a most respectless word in this respect. The machine is never inefficient, it is man who judges it that way, or: Only a Poor Workman Blames His Tools. --80.219.135.52 17:59, 24 March 2007 (UTC) (Filmtechniker)
