A look inside the new state-of-the-art headquarters of the studio behind 'They Call Me Magic' and '76 Days': Echo Park, in particular, is sort of where the center of the creative community is."
Wow, this is massive and an unbelievable studio in Echo Park. This is great considering the massive rise o...

Hi all,
I'm working with a few students here in Ireland, and have helped them get a project off the ground.
Unfortunately our sound editor had to drop out last minute.
The project is already widely anticipated with two almost sold out showings, so the team is in a bit of a pickle.
It's about 20 minut...

Adobe just released a rather large (130+ page) doc on the post production workflow with premiere. You can find it here: https://helpx.adobe.com/content/dam/help/en/premiere-pro/using/long-form-episodic-best-practices/jcr_content/root/content/flex/items/position/position-par/download_section/download...

To be clear: It's a post-workflow for TV - Long Form Episodic

Nicely done! thanks for sharing your journey, Scott.
thanks for sharing!
Hi Scott, great article!! Thank you for sharing your career path with us. It's a forever hustle but so worthwhile!! Congrats!
I've recently been shifted into a different editing position, and because it's always good to be learning and striving to be better, I went searching for some editing ideas/concepts that maybe I hadn't heard of or could benefit from reminding.
I've been watching some videos from This Guy Edits (Sven)...

Interesting way to appoach a rough cut.
Hello community! I have a problem when exporting from Premiere to h264 format, in which part of the project is not displayed. Specifically a scene that was shot in anamorphic. I don't know why it happens exactly and only with this fragment and I need to fix it to finish my work. Any comment will be very helpful! Thanks.
You may want to go to LinkedIn.com .... there's a Premiere Pro group there that can help you.
Hi Gon - checking in, were you able to fix the problem?
Hi there! Was wondering if anyone here has used Riverside.fm, and if so, what do they think of the technology/service? Thanks!!
I just looked it up. It seems like a pretty good recording service. Depending on what you want to do with it would determine if it's cost-effective for you, although I'm not familiar with other live recording services.
Ever wonder how film editors coordinate with the VFX team? Here's a lengthy blog about the job of the VFX Editor; what they do, what a typical day looks like, and the skills needed to become one.
Have you ever wondered about this...

Ah, DUDE! That turnover workflow is GOLD! Thanks so much for sharing! Actually, someone in the Producing Lounge was just asking about how to budget for VFX in their series - I'll share this link with them, thanks!
cool! glad I could post it at an opportune time!
Time to get a separate lounge for that...
Thanks, Sam. I know there are VFX artists on here, but the search is limited, so a group would be helpful.
Agreed - and it doesn't really fit in with Post-Production or Animation alone.
BUT you can look up members based on occupation if you're looking for VFX artists: https://www.stage32.com/people?name=&lo...

And then I just read your comment - sorry! Yeah, and looking through, it's not really accurate either.
Ha. Actually the link was helpful! I always just use the search bar and that is super limited. I was today years old when I knew that search members was under browse. And I'm pretty tech savvy. :-/
I would be up for that!
Hi,
I am in post on a short film I produced. There is a slight problem in one shot of a scene where a small piece of light-colored clothing folded over a dark suit sleeve, and now it messes up the continuity from the previous shot. I have been told that there is software for fixing something like th...

Well it usually depends on what you're trying to retouch out of a shot and of course a lot can be done but it depends on how much work is needed.
I've had situations where we've retouched lights out of...

Ken Schwarz Frankly... this seems like a small thing and if this is actually ruining the scene, then there is something wrong with the performance or the story. You are worrying about the wrong thing....

I had the same thought as Shadow Dragu-Mihai, Esq - as described, this seems not important. How much of the frame does this take up? Is it an insert and this is all we see? Or is it only taking up one...

One quadrant, but the very light fabric against the very dark makes it more noticeable
I've a team of VFX artists, who can work on very tricky shots... I'm sure, this is doable. Give us an opportunity, and we'll not let you down. Take care.

This is awesome, thank you! You never hear about post-production grants, or at least not as much. Quick question - does it have to be female-directed or would a male director and a female producer work?

Expand commentI agree when creative people gather, the energy is so powerful. Having available access to facilities for production and one that promotes positive collaboration is such a treat for creatives. The idea of like-minded people coming together to work on their projects in such a hospitable environment is fantastic. Who knows what ideas and projects will come to life just by a chance meeting?
This is huge and a win for the neighborhood and for doc producers.
What were you planning to make?
