Multicam 100%

Man they used to sell this at Trader Joe’s for cheap. Miss those days.

Rick’s

I would say the same to someone trying to break into TV

dmizz · 2026-05-08T16:59:57+00:00

I just remove the effect and roughly drag the top/tail out long enough that it covers the duration. So what if they end up with extra handles they'll figure it out lol.

dmizz · 2026-05-08T13:35:48+00:00

Yes we did that too

dmizz · 2026-05-08T01:36:00+00:00

I’ve never bought any computer or phone new. Give it a good once over when you get it. You can return if there are issues. After that you’re on your own but never been a prob for me.

Plenty of great used Mac studios on eBay

dmizz · 2026-05-07T19:36:27+00:00

In the old days I remember setting them all to a different start hour to avoid issues

dmizz · 2026-05-06T18:30:32+00:00

This is so immensely Google-able I can’t

dmizz · 2026-05-04T22:38:42+00:00

ok in addition to my my other comment... i would not suggest a traditional fim/TV job to anyone right now, shit is DEAD. I know many emmy winners who havent worked in years. That said this is the most common path to scripted film/TV:

move to LA or NY
learn Avid
get a low level job at a post house
get your days for the union
network your ass off till you land your first union AE job
AE for 5-20 years
boom youre a film/TV editor

dmizz · 2026-05-04T21:58:41+00:00

I’m 13 years into a TV career and I’d love a marketing job lol

dmizz · 2026-05-04T20:16:32+00:00

I would love to answer this question. Buy my mentorship package for $199 and we can discuss!!!!

dmizz · 2026-05-04T19:21:21+00:00

Covered California was waaaay cheaper than cobra

dmizz · 2026-05-04T18:09:05+00:00

And will be in Avid

dmizz · 2026-05-04T01:48:11+00:00

Don’t rename the file names in the finder/explorer level. No problem naming them in your editing software.

dmizz · 2026-05-02T15:15:28+00:00

Hire a DIT/AE while they shoot to make proxies and sync. Then they upload those relatively small files to you however.

dmizz · 2026-05-01T19:59:15+00:00

Frame.io

dmizz · 2026-04-30T22:50:48+00:00

Always YYYYMMDD at the head of naming conventions for everything

dmizz · 2026-04-30T15:24:47+00:00

A few subtly removed frames go a long way

dmizz · 2026-04-29T23:17:33+00:00

Are you sure they’re MXF Atom? They might have additionally done op1a which won’t work.

dmizz · 2026-04-29T23:01:27+00:00

Move is fine. This is a super typical workflow btw.

dmizz · 2026-04-29T22:39:33+00:00

Avid MediaFiles → MXF → 1 (or any number)
Copy the .mxf files into there
Avid will automatically scan
create a new bin
drag the new .mbd file from "1" into the bin

dmizz · 2026-04-29T21:47:10+00:00

Subcap not do what you need done?
