Apple eats video editing jobs

Interesting ... my mom spent her career as a retoucher, touching up portrait photography by hand with pencil, pen and inks. That job went the way of the dodo nearly 15 years ago, and now it seems as though the video folks are looking at the same doom.

Workers in the media industry face either an intoxicating future or one filled with doom because of Apple's Final Cut software and unifying digitisation removing layers of complexity from their work. That's the theme coming out of a tapeless media summit in held last week in London's Soho, a centre for media production and post-production work.
