The editor skill shortage explained. 🧵

For certain genres of editing there is an editor skill shortage. There is literally more footage going to post than there are editors to edit it.

Trying my hand at making one of these 🧵's. Here are five Avid @MediaComposer keyboard shortcuts you might not know... #postchat #avid

• I take lots of notes and ask questions about their passion for the topic, big wins, etc

(I need to add: schedule the next follow-up call before hanging up)

Step 2: Recap
• I send an email after the meeting thanking them for the call
• I recap what I heard on my end
• I offer a potential solution, if applicable

(For the uninitiated, “notes” are changes/revisions that the people paying you to edit want to see in their program). (3/

What is Postlab?

@paul_matthijs: Postlab saves you from emailing project files, keeping versions around, and shuttling media.

How do Productions work in Postlab?

• They can store #FCPX Libraries *and* #PremierePro Projects.
• Changes are tracked.
• Libraries and Projects are versioned.
• Think Project Locking, not Bin Locking.
