Your first problem is that you’re using a windows platform. If you want to edit with fewer issues, invest in an Apple. I’ve worked in broadcast television for 30 years on major tv shows and infomercials, and only ever experienced issues when the post house was low budget and used PC’s with windows platforms.
Funny thing is, when a few years ago we converted one of our Avid edit rooms to rather expensive Apple boxes we had a seemingly endless stream of trouble involving dismal interface and rendering performance as well as data transmission issues. It was the kind of thing that made me want to slap the living crap out of the "
it just works" folks. After kicking them violently in their nether regions.
I've spent a few decades at a very small broadcasting company known as ABC. My production experience was preceded by many years in IT and as a consultant for multi-platform SMBs. I work on Windows, Mac, Linux, all kinds of embedded systems, etc. Notably, there's hardly a piece of broadcast equipment now that isn't a computer, based on one and/or managed by one, and you can find Intel -based micro-ATX boards in the most amazing places. But the truth is, it's been that way for a long time. Frames full of DEC PDP-11/70 boards used to handle effects when I first started getting my feet wet in tee vee, and some studio lighting was controlled by a DEC PDP-8.
Now to be fair about our Avid/Apple issues, Avid themselves said we were better off on Windows -based PCs and the conversion decision was made by an Apple fanboi involved in the production. When the vendor tells you what's best, it's often foolish to ignore the vendor.
We have a LOT of Windows boxes on the broadcast side of the facility, doing a whole lot more than editing, and they're generally very little trouble. Honestly I can come up with sob stories about
any platform. More often than not, the actual problems wind up being software bugs that have little to do with the operating system. There has never been a shortage of such bugs, and there never will be. When I have to reboot a DigiCart, or a production switcher suddenly can't store customs, that ain't Windows' fault!
It's a good bet that "low budget" and other software and hardware choices had more to do with the issues you have experienced with the post houses than the operating systems in use there.
Very often, we wind up not getting rid of bugs entirely but making choices about which ones we can live with.
