Randi Altman has an extensive round table with many participants talking about current state of editing, with a whole lot of focus on remote editing. This is talks with editors and people on the technology end of post and it really does show that the future of editing is remote and hybrid, though of course some people will always prefer in person.
Personally, I am for fully remote at this point, but hybrid at some point, but since I have recently set up a real time remote workflow so I can live stream my cuts with ZOOM, and have the real-time viewing and feedback, while still staying remote.
I can honestly say I would not to be in an office all day with a mask on, but even with masks and vaccinations I wouldn’t feel safe, especially with the bathrooms in most office buildings. And the time I have spent with my wife and my dogs during the pandemic just shows me how much I don’t want to have to drive in Los Angles traffic anymore.
