Avid Cinema
The Beginning of the Internet Video Revolution - Avid Cinema for Windows - video capture/edit device. Capture video from any video source with a USB device, then drag and drop clips onto a timeline. This hardware/software combo from Emmy award winning Avid turns your desktop into a video production studio, complete with animated titles, special effects, and soundtracks.

My first project at Avid (as a contractor) was creating a handful of icons for Avid Sports. I was then asked to create icons for Avid Cinema. When I saw what they were doing, I offered suggestions for improvments on the UI and was asked to review other parts of the project and was eventually hired full time and continued in the Art Director/Product Designer roles.
