Now this is good advice...

On my first day of film school our teacher gave us a film, each student got to pick from a few random classics. And then he made us go frame by frame and cut it everywhere we notice a cut. It was boring, tedious and seemed useless. BUT after cutting a 3 hour classic movie....your eyes get used to and start noticing cuts, the connection between cuts, where the motion was stopped and where it was continued... The rhythm, the tempo, everything. But I guess that is rendered useless today when you can just use "scene edit detection" in premiere pro 🤣

@@zosia729solid, which school?

Scorcese said the same in his speech at TIFF

Thank you for your wisdom. May we see some of your work, please?

How is it?

Best idea ever!

Not a tutorial

100% a 13 min commercial. Can’t lie I was a little disappointed.

😂 You’re right. “And it’s all for the low, low price…..Act now while supplies last!”

So? Did you watch Sven’s editing of it? Are you saying you can’t learn from commercials? It’s not the topic. It’s the edit. :)

Glad it helped!

So few productions take the time to do them. You *can* make your own line script after the fact once you have the footage, but it is time-consuming, and may slow you down too much.

@@SuzanneNuttall it’s always good to do it right from the start. Patching normally takes longer than restarting tbh

MC editor here. Me and my team are moving to Resolve. AVID are dinosaurs that are falling behind in the industry. Yes, I love MC and it's super cosy for me to cut with, but that's just because I've been using it for years, if I had used Premiere or Resolve as much then it would be closer. I hear the biggest weakness in Premiere is the bugs and stability. There is definitely hope that Adobe will sort it. Resolve is growing super strong and fast hence why we're moving to it. MC is still my favourite NLE (only for AE stuff like grouping, organisation and cutting, it suckkkkks for everything else). The issue with MC is that AVID are a struggling company who are so far behind in their research and development and show only signs that they'll be obsolete in the future unless they make MAJOR changes. Even the simplest of things people are asking for them to do/fix are considered basic in any NLE, but the way MC is so jank that it's either extremely hard work to get it to work, or straight up impossible in its current form of code. My recommendation is: knowing as many NLE's well enough to be comfy is great. MC has quite a bit of time being relevant, but I see Resolve/Premiere advancing past them fast.

da vinci all the way

If you have mastered a tool, use the tool you have mastered.

@@bcl1039 "Mastered" is a great word to use here. I've switched back and forth with Adobe and FCPX. Adobe is clearly the industry leader but with all the updates and "cool" things you can do. If you want to master PP or AE you're investing lots of time in a "lifestyle" choice. FCPX is an "editing"choice. If you have other things you want to spend your time doing, it's worth noting.

Karan bhai. Stay on adobe. But master davinci. Avid is the dumbest software you will ever encounter in your life. This is the shittest software ever made on this planet. Dont fall for the trap of old peops from USA who have been using avid since ages and never switched to the market leader softwares like davinci, adobe etc. Dont i repeat dont switch to avid.. tatti hai yeh 🤣

Consider taking the Go-To Editor course. If you have experience but lack clients you may not performing at a high level: craft, soft skills, and networking.

Really? You're just saying that :) Thank you though!

Invest in a good chair. :-)

Why its your Dream Job?

Value first, more value at a price when you want to go deep. I love making content, but I cannot make it longterm without monetization or it's not sustainable.
