If AI can read and identify objects in our footage, then why is it that we still can't we generate waveforms for multicam clips in 2025? #postchat #postproductionlife #videoediting #editorslife

And there it is, #Adobe. Another reason I left #PremierePro as my main NLE — a <2 min real estate edit using the RSMB plugin takes ages to render. In #FCP, the same RSMB effect renders 1:1 with clip length. At least stability’s improved. #postchat #videoediting

Jumping back into #premierepro after all these years on a large project has so far been an absolute breeze. Glad to see #Adobe making some under the hood improvements. #videoeditors #postchat #postproductionlife

It’s been almost a half decade since I used #PremierePro for any serious project. So far, it’s actually working pretty smooth. Rendering proxies for 1.3TB of raw footage for a 30-min short documentary project on behalf of a new client referral.

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

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?

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

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!

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."
