I have seen film editors who had previously used Steinbecks
and perhaps U-matic Lo-Band systems working fast and
accurately with Avid or Lightworks, after a very short
initiation indeed. They are well-known, and rightly so, as
intuitive systems.

But after a few minutes?

Similarly, any sound editor should be at home with ProTools
after a very short time indeed.

I might have a different definition of 'at home' than you.
