I do wish their was a way to get into the dictionary and change things on iOS so you could stop some words from showing up, but apple doesn’t even let you control sync on bookmarks (why can’t I have an overwrite cloud setting, and if you can’t not mess up my bookmarks why would I want to sync my music collection?).
Dennis Sellers at the Rocket Yard at OWC’s Blog has the best way to fix this issue. I did it years ago, honestly having 2 menu bars and docks is just confusing to me, but I have been using a mac with 2 monitors for a whole lot of years.
On October 20th, AVID released Media Composer 2022.10 and here are the new features.
Always welcome updates, and being able to make a protools session straight from AVID seems like a no brainer considering they own both software!
Jonny Elwyn has posted the best Christmas Gifts for Film Editors.
As always he has some great stuff here, and it is well worth checking out.
Now I have been a regular user of Suitcase Fusion for years to manage fonts on my mac, and after 20 years I have accumulated a ton of fonts. And I honestly didn’t realize that PostScript fonts were losing support in Adobe as of January 2023. I have literally thousands of Postscript fonts and I used Connect Fonts (the current online version of what used to be Suitcase Fusion) to remove them from my font library. I kept a backup in case I run into someplace where I need one from an old project, but I don’t want them gumming up the works if they aren’t going to work in Adobe.

Artlist will soon be introducing Artlist Max starting at $29.95.
Artlist already purchased FXhome the creator of Hitfilm 6 months after purchasing Motion Array, so this is basically tying it all together.
Elgato has released the Stream Deck plus with 4 programmable Nobs for $199. I can’t wait to see the XL version with Nobs!
I do love the programmable buttons and adding nobs is a huge thing, but the 8 buttons is not much.
First up from the Rough Cut, these awesome interviews with the Mandalorian Season 1 Editing Team.
FilmSupply has a good article on the hour of interviews and their 5 takeaways, that is also worth taking a look at, but the videos themselves are well worth watching.
Talking about not only on remote editing because of the pandemic but the new technologies and cutting together films before VFX is added with blue screen vs the volume, and being able to go to the set and talk to the director while the work on stuff, having cut the previz before production happened.
Meagan Keane has a great interview with Andy Young the editor on Warner Bros. Animation HARLEY QUINN. Interesting to hear about editing an animation show, and the differences with live action editing.
