Power of referrals. Internally, work was beginning to get thin. Then I sent out a email to my active and recently active clients reminding them of my 5% cash or credit for referrals. Landed a new client yesterday which led to another new client for a short documentary edit. #editinglife #postchat
I got one of those. Problem is, I wasn't drinking enough coffee or leaving my office enough. And once you fall in love with gestures, it's hard to go back to buttons. But I get it, it's a beloved mouse for a reason. I actually own one along with it's stupid USB dongle.
Haha. I thought they were telling me I need another cup of coffee.
The only creative block that matters: a Magic Mouse that dies mid-timeline.

Well played, Merriam-Webster!
Well played.
We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.
Me: clicks individual clips one by one like a caveman

Also me: This is fine. Everything is fine. I definitely don't miss batch selecting with a single drag 🙃
When I say "just need to cull some selects" but I'm actually wishing Resolve had FCP's ranged favorites with multi-tagging directly on clips 😤

If Blackmagic can update DaVinci Resolve training books to 600+ pages, then why can't we finish reading them before the next update drops?

Ah, the good old days before I learned about subroles. And they say FCP is a bad audio mixer. 😬
If #videoeditors can stare at the same 3-second clip for 2 hours and still not be happy with it, then we can call ourselves perfectionists and charge accordingly

What's your favorite comic book/graphic novel?
Do you ever think comic books are just storyboards with commitment issues?

#Apple's #AutoMix AI thing in #AppleMusic is garbage. It's the first thing I've disabled in newest OS releases.
Luckily for me, this day, was not that day.
No matter how many times we watch a video in the timeline, we somehow always spot the punctuation mistake only AFTER we hit render. Every. Single. Time. #HappyNationalPunctuation Day!

And just like a old fling, I can't help but wonder, what if I was just the problem the whole time? 😆
If Adobe #PremierePro had a dating profile it would say: "I'm complex, I crash sometimes, but when you've developed Stockholm syndrome, you'll believe I've helped you create magic. Also, I cost $60/month."

But fellow #PremierePro editors, just put on a good smile and power through. It will all work out in the end. 😆
Just tried #PremierePro's AI extend "feature". The most disappointing experience of my life since I asked my mom to cut my hair to save money. 😑 #postproductionlife #postchat #videoediting #GenerativeAI
Currently my autobiography would be 90% me looking for old hard drives, salivating over new gear and trying to remember to drink water.
Wish I could hit 'favorite' on certain life moments so when I tell my story later, I can just skip straight to the highlights reel.

Moral of the story: caffee is the real post-production software. #postchat #postproductionlife #videoediting #storytelling
