CUt/DAILY #442 (Free Registration Required) is on using multicam and AI to create a trailer or reel for a documentary. Pretty interesting and how this can speed things up and find clips, though also a little scary as this may in the future keep editors from ever viewing all their footage, which I see as a huge mistake! Still speeding up finding clips is always a good thing.
What is the best microphone for recording voice over. Always a useful thing to know, though I usually just use my iPhone for my temp, and get the VO from a voice over artist.
Cut/Daily #457. Oh yea being able to find your media, though of course that requires proper naming schemes for all files not just camera clip names and random sequence names. I would recommend this to some companies if I thought they would actually follow my naming and organization systems!
On the great editor Walter Murch. A definitive resource.
This sounds insane, check it out at Cut/Daily (free registration required). https://www.youtube.com/live/f_I-R6tFslQ?si=2ISge8Z2ycMhcqs3&t=1335&ref=cut-daily.com This is insane! So basically with a powerful server you stream your media frame by frame and can edit anywhere with an internet connection without downloading media (so much more secure way to remotely edit). THIS IS THE FUTURE!
CUT/DAILY #437 : Be Conventional. Is all about the importance of file naming correctly, and I 100% agree. Every project needs a simple and effective naming convention for tracking everything, and it should be followed exactly on every job. Every company I work for doesn’t follow any naming conventions and it is literally insane. Literally I am not even given consistent job numbers or names, ever. And the naming should be matched with file structure on the hard drives. Without organization going back will always be hard, but with it finding stuff is easy.
https://www.provideocoalition.com/useful-tools-for-editors-its-now-2025-edition/ Not sure I really need to do lists in Premiere as I just take my illegible notes, but interesting. And SparkFX for Resolve looks quite interesting, but another damn plug in subscription does piss me off a bit.
Another great interview from PostPerpective, and this one by Iain Blair. Conclave was amazing, certainly one of the best films of the year. I am not into religion or religious stories, but this one is damn engaging.
Another great read from CUT/DAILY (free registration required). I did really enjoy the recent adaption of Shogun though I am a little scared of a sequel which has no book and having lost its best character and actress (sure there are the actual events SHOGUN was based on, so maybe adaption will work).
Check it out at CUT/DAILY. I can honestly say I would love it if it was lighter, and now that it can do 2 4k screens, though I would likely need 3, and at current resolution I am not sure that would work. I would say once it is in my normal glasses, and maybe in conjunction with my screens?
