That's super interesting. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Hey @tvaziri.com, dumb question. I thought I heard somewhere that VFX used to only build what is seen. But breakdowns show entire cities built for what seems like a few establishers. Is it because it's cheaper to build the entire asset rather then just key pieces due to revisions down the line?

Soon, people will be criticizing jump-cuts as signs of AI video editing just like they criticize em-dashes in — supposedly — AI writing.

Yeah, but I still think they had the value of FCC compliancy and human transcription accuracy going for them. I understand if that's not their core business model, but they don't even have video production / post-production listed as an industry they serve anymore.

Anyone noticed that Rev has seemingly pivoted their entire business away from general video captioning and transcription to Criminal and Law transcription? #postchat #videoediting

I think it’s amazing how the tools we use have evolved and or perished. I feel like today we have an abundance of options, and I feel like I’ve got to learn them all so I can stay ahead.

I definitely need to learn more on Macros. Motion has spoiled me with just saving and it appearing in FCP as a fully editable template and I'd love not having to jump into Fusion every time.

Avid is one of those NLEs I want to learn, but never find the courage.

All great points. I absolutely love Motion. But I find myself cutting in FCP less often, not to say that I couldn't still use Motion.

Yeah, I think Fusion is very powerful. But sometimes, it feels a bit like driving a semi-truck through a suburban intersection for simple projects. I almost feel like Fusion needs it's own "cut" page, but for easy to make motion graphics, with both a node-based and layer-based compositing.

Sure, another video delivered is great...

But another "This is great!" from a client?

That's what I'm really here for. 🎯

It is a stupid ass bug. Every NLE has them. For me, it's about what limits my ability to get to the finish line. But my identity isn't tied to the NLE I use for any given project, so I could change back to Resolve or FCP at any point for any reason. But right now, I'm enjoying Premiere's state.

It's just a bug. I've been testing Premiere for the last few months and I'm impressed with it's reliability. A lot of work has been done on addressing issues and improving quality of life. After Effects has also received a lot of back end love too.

Yeah, I created a "imported media" bin. But after this project, I think I'm heading back to Adobe. They've made some very noticeable improvements.

#Premiere still has an annoying bug I think that's been around for a while. Importing an XML that was generated from Premiere still re-imports all media regardless if "allow duplicate media on import" is unchecked. Gah! OCD is triggered! #postchat #videoediting

I hear you. I've become pretty editing agnostic. I have been opening it more to start an edit as they've addressed a lot of my complaints from years ago. And After Effects is till my go to, which has always been my gateway drug to Premiere.

#PremierePro #Postchat friends, did you notice #Adobe dropped the "Pro" from Premiere Pro? Thoughts?

I'd be surprised if it came out in .0.1 release. But I'll certainly won't argue if it does.

I adore #FCP and most of the apps in the new #CreativeStudio subscription. But the new Visual Search is a filter function. 🤮. Trranscription still doesn't have speaker labels, so no Paper Edit utility. 👎 Resolve is still hundreds of miles ahead.

I think posts like shouldn't be locked behind a paywall. The truth is far more important than the money, I would hope.

Thanks for the insights on this. All throughout the holiday break I was looking at monitors. Right now, I'm using the Ultrafine LG. Most of the color I do if for web, but I'm wondering if I should start offering a HDR version of deliverables just to practice and learn.

👍 Thanks!

Thank you! It was a great birthday, but my holiday break was exactly what I needed. lol

Thanks man! Hope you had a great holiday!

Awesome! Remote collab is one of the area's I haven't yet explored. I selfishly like to handle everything, but I should probably bring on some assistance.

As an Avatar apologist, I found #AvatarFireAndAsh a chore to watch. Visuals, hands down, best-in-class and that alone is worth ticket. And the best part was the Fire clan, but they were in the film for ~30 mins. I think it would have held interest longer if they were the focus.

Yup. Same experience. I did get one legitimate request and that did lead to a job but I knew it was legitimate because it was local and they were connected with mutuals. I definitely will not use it tho.

Yup. All engagement bait to convince you to pay for premium. It’s the dating site model but 100x worse.
