My son battled Leukemia for two years and rang the bell in 2026. That led me to make a documentary on four other cancer fighters: diagnosis, treatment, and the hope that carries a family through. Nothing to sell, just their stories. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmIQ... #cancerawareness #documentary

There is no better way to make selects from footage than range + F from #FCP. That's all. #postchat

Pure authentic filmmaking craft. Definitely going to spend my hard-earned money in the theater for this. It looks incredible: www.youtube.com/watch?v=POne...

Hard to believe that it's already been 14 years since I aced this sound design final for class. There's so many things I'd refine looking back on this, but as Luke says to Yoda, "I've learned so much since then..." www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a1k...

I remember using the rough cut functionality in 2021 and it kept me leaving Premiere for another year, until Adobe decided to Sherlock them with an inferior tool (still is in many ways). www.provideocoalition.com/digital-anar...

Digital Anarchy Transcriptive hits end of life by Scott Simmons - ProVideo Coalition

I saw a sad but not surprising email that came across today announcing that Digital Anarchy’s Transcriptive will hit end of life on May the 4th. Transcriptive was an Adobe Premiere extension and…

This has made my Bluesky feed so much more enjoyable. Every social platform should give you this control.

1 yr after switching to #Resolve, I've come to the sad realization that I don't miss #FCP, which I had switched to after cutting in #PremierePro for 15 yrs. Everything in Resolve has been refined perfectly. Crazy to think where it started since I first used it in v10. #postchat

I know editors / motion designers are beholden to their client's vision, but I wish more understood what my visual literacy teacher told me: "If everything is animated, then nothing is animated." This is applies to any multimedia design output. #motiondesign #postchat

Hey @tvaziri.com, I had a shower thought. When people compare CGI from 15 years ago, is it or isn't it true that one big factor is inflation? A movie with a $10 million VFX budget 20 years ago would buy more than $10 million today. That's on-top of bigger and more shots, less time, etc...

I think the next #Terminator movie should be set in the 70s, feature a T-600, be a horror / slasher analogy like T1, and ultimately, should mirror SAW in the sense that the "hero" characters loose spectacularly, while also being the "Batman Begins" of a new interpretation.

Hey #PostChat friends, how do you name your hard-drives for #postproduction? Here's mine: HotStorage: Active projects WarmStorage: Projects in Queue/Waiting for Consolidation ColdStorage: Consolidated Projects, queued for LTO IceBox: Transfer SSD

Hey @tvaziri.com, dumb question. I thought I heard somewhere that VFX used to only build what is seen. But breakdowns show entire cities built for what seems like a few establishers. Is it because it's cheaper to build the entire asset rather then just key pieces due to revisions down the line?

Soon, people will be criticizing jump-cuts as signs of AI video editing just like they criticize em-dashes in — supposedly — AI writing.

Anyone noticed that Rev has seemingly pivoted their entire business away from general video captioning and transcription to Criminal and Law transcription? #postchat #videoediting

Sure, another video delivered is great... But another "This is great!" from a client? That's what I'm really here for. 🎯 #videoediting #postchat #StorytellingMatters

#Premiere still has an annoying bug I think that's been around for a while. Importing an XML that was generated from Premiere still re-imports all media regardless if "allow duplicate media on import" is unchecked. Gah! OCD is triggered! #postchat #videoediting

#PremierePro #Postchat friends, did you notice #Adobe dropped the "Pro" from Premiere Pro? Thoughts?

I adore #FCP and most of the apps in the new #CreativeStudio subscription. But the new Visual Search is a filter function. 🤮. Trranscription still doesn't have speaker labels, so no Paper Edit utility. 👎 Resolve is still hundreds of miles ahead. #postchat #video editing

As an Avatar apologist, I found #AvatarFireAndAsh a chore to watch. Visuals, hands down, best-in-class and that alone is worth ticket. And the best part was the Fire clan, but they were in the film for ~30 mins. I think it would have held interest longer if they were the focus.

Hey @ubisoft.com, it shouldn't take 30 minutes to start to play your games. Forcing someone to create an account, link it with their Playstation, then have 15 minutes of non-playable content to start the game is the enshittification of the gaming experience.

Just turned 39. Wild that 20 years ago I was hoping to make it big, never knowing what that would mean. Thankful for opportunities God gave me free will to take. Here's to another 5 years (hey, I try not to think too far ahead lol) #postchat #videoediting #producer #director

Hey #videoeditors, are you looking back at 2025 and making any changes to your business models for 2026? #postchat

8.5 hours of interviews → 28+ mins of surgically clean assembly cut. Still needs b-roll. ~60 hours to sync, organize, proxy, mark and generate paper edit and cut. Depending on client from here, I hand off and they finish, or they have me press forward. #postchat #premierepro

And yet, there's going to be a colorist keyboard commando that will tell me it's dark because it's my fault (or my TV's fault).

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
