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

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.

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."

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

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.

Breaking: A Video Maker discovers client actually loves first draft. Editor baffled. "This changes everything we know about the revision process," says expert. #postchat #videoediting #postproductionlife #premierepro

Isn't this just a sign of how much #Apple actually cares about #FinalCutPro? I've never loved something so much that its creator couldn't care less about it.

Okay #Blackmagic, I get it. Your software is the best. Can you calm down a little bit and let others catch up? www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOwv...

#AppleMotion's Snapshot feature is awesome - being able to design 1 motion graphics template that automatically adapts to any aspect ratio based on your timeline settings makes me blush.

#PostChat In case you didn't know, #apple released a API to allow @dropbox.com to have your file sync to an external drive. Not sure when this happened, but I'm thankful.

First award winning #shortfilm I directed back in 2011. It's only 5 minutes long but seems to resonate with people. I dusted it off, gave it a facelift, and now it's off to a few more festivals just for fun.

Watch and roast it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sTH...
