As much of the post-production industry moved from film to video production
a new way of working came into being. Moviolas and flat-beds had
competition to deal with as a new kid appeared on the block. The kid was
called the two-machine video editing suite.

In this environment the editor would line up a shot on a source machine and
edit across to a record machine. 'In' and 'out' points were marked, tapes
pre-rolled, then run up to speed and images in the form of electronic signals
were copied from one machine to the other.
The Final Cut Pro interface is modelled on the same idea.
The Interface is Made up of Four Main Windows
