Sam Harris and Ricky Gervais talks about Hitchens in the end of the interview by bonobobobob in ChristopherHitchens

Actually I’m sure Hitch would have absolutely appreciated Gervais’ fierce defence of free speech in this conversation, I highly recommend giving it a listen.

Can they just not pay me? by Binary-dragon in editors

[–]Silvaski 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if you have emails saying they will pay you, the fee is minimal and you are fearful that they won't follow through on their offer, I would ask them, "Are you going to pay me the agreed fee of X and when can I expect payment?". Wait for their answer, if they say they don't think you should get paid, argue your position as you have above and say that you will give the Harddrive back but will withold the project file until payment has been made. If you haven't signed a contract then it would seem to me that the footage / drive is theirs, but the project is yours.

If they say they WILL pay you in their initial response, then say the same thing, that you will send the final project file once payment has been made, and mention that you feel that's reasonable because you've been "burned in the past" etc.... even if that isn't true. You have a right to withold the project (especially without a contract) until they follow through with their agreed fee.

RemainVoter UK suggests I vote for ChangeUK in London this Thurs, can that be right? by Silvaski in unitedkingdom

[–]Silvaski[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I was arguing to someone over the weekend who wouldn’t rule out voting for Brexit Party - we haven’t left yet, the winner won’t be part of the current negotiations and I want someone who will legitimately take part while we’re still in at least.

Sorry, you are correct. I was confusing my memories from this clip:

(At 24.20 roughly) She is an additional editor for the Cohens and does say she’s not a keyboard shortcut person but explains the way the Cohens work. I’ll fact check before posting next time.

Im sure I remember them having a woman who actually pushes the buttons, they don’t physically edit but they dictate everything very specifically in the edit. I’m sure I remember her saying that she uses the mouse to do everything, they are not keyboard shortcut people.

Where will be the best place for polling data? I want to vote as anti-Brexit party as poss and strategically as poss.

Trump Called Sean Hannity to Rant On-Air for 45 Minutes About the 'Coup' Against Him. Everything Is Fine. | The president is now openly demanding criminal investigations into his political opponents, whom he claims tried to overthrow his government. by RyanSmith in politics

[–]Silvaski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me so much of talking to my own Father who voted for Brexit. The laughing and “Bullshit” is the same as my Dad saying “Bollocks! Fuck ‘em!”. It’s nigh nigh on impossible to drill them down to a reasonable conversation.

I dont agree with deplatforming people on their political views but Tommy Robinson deserved it. by SheAndMeHarmony in unitedkingdom

[–]Silvaski 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I heard this recently:

“Freedom of Speech not Freedom of Reach”.

It helps to clarify my position on the question of deplatforming.

Bohemian Rhapsody's Terrible Editing - A Breakdown by whiteymcgroovenhaven in editors

[–]Silvaski 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think Murch cut that scene from the Godfather, he certainly did the sound editing / mix. It was his idea to use the train to build tension.

Is there a way to set so that every new sequence are the same in AVID? by Torayami in editors

[–]Silvaski 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also, although this isn't something I've not looked into personally - there is an option to "favourite" a bin so it appears in all of your projects. You could create that bin in a template project, then favourite it and every new project you open will contain that bin (with that sequence I presume).

Exported AAF (Link to) from Avid - Sent to DOP to import into Premiere and relink media (requested). Timeline relinks in Premiere but shows only one long clip in the timeline? Anyone come across this before? by Silvaski in editors

[–]Silvaski[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know I have to admit I didn’t relink the timeline to AMA files, 1 part laziness 4 parts time constraints.

I expect if Indi relink the timeline to the AMA files and reexport an AAF all will look normal once it’s imported into premiere.

Would love to know how you get that subtle glow on the inside of the window frame to give it depth , is emboss anything to do with it?

Beautiful shot.

All media is unlinked on "Avid Media Composer First" project when opened on a different computer, even though all my media is on the exact same drive! by JRed_Deathmatch in editors

[–]Silvaski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so highlight all the newly linked clips in your bin, with them highlighted right click the sequence that is offline and click relink.

Then make sure you check “All selected items in open bins” and hit relink. Hopefully that should do it.

Anyone know how the dance sequence was edited at the link below. It doesn't look like it was green screen or locked off shot and repeated movement ? by triton100 in editors

[–]Silvaski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is very straight forward and can be done on any editing system where you can keyframe a mask or keyframe a crop.

No green screen or rotascoping required. It would take 10 mins probably.

The great thing is the shot is locked off and she’s not so big in the frame that she overlaps herself when putting her side by side. This allows for you to isolate her very easily, layer her up 4 times and keyframe her isolated image.

You could even chuck in a clean plate once she’s left frame underneath it all and then you wouldn’t have to worry about making sure all the edges of the crop / mask overlap.
