the screens made editing a lot easier and quicker for film creators and let them do a lot more with editing than they could with the old editing ways. This was the road to the future of editing, allowing creators to cut content, add effects and see visually what they are editing.

What is the ECS-1?

The ECS-1 was developed after the CMX system in 1984 which editors loved due to it having a anolog stick that allowed editing to be alot quicker and easier. The size of the editing machine was the size of an average computer meaning it was alot smaller than the CMX and was the first editing machine to use icons and won an award and could montage film clips.
