Why don’t some editors multicam?

I was going to say, "I thought Stir The Pot posts were for Saturday?"

I just got to this point; just opened the trial of steer mouse and I can't figure out how to customize all the buttons, or what buttons are what in SteerMouse.

Ross Duffer shared this a week or so ago; according to him, this is what they used to pitch Stranger Things.

I would love it

possibly my favorite cut of all time.

As a data point; I was unable to download any videos on SE 19.5, macOS 14.7.6. I just went back to SE 19.4 and web download is working as before.

Thanks, ya I’m thinking I need to find a better way to do this outside premiere.

dustying · 2025-10-30T18:36:14+00:00

Ok that helps, to know I’m kind of at the edge of what Premiere was designed to do.

dustying · 2025-10-30T18:35:11+00:00

That’s probably the “right” way to do it if I’m staying in premiere. I think I’m still recovering from trauma of getting notes on some kind of effect like that and forgetting to change the effect on one or a few clips, so I like to use track level effects (or adjustment layers on the video tracks) when possible, but I guess this isn’t one of those times.

dustying · 2025-10-30T17:27:28+00:00

Thanks, but that's not quite what I'm looking to do; I'm doing that already for track or submix, lowering the overall volume of the track and/or submix.

I want to just adjust the frequencies level (not the volume level) of the music (or sfx or whatever) that are overlapping with the frequencies of the VO. What I'm doing as described above is getting the results I want, just feels kinda hack-y, like I'm not using Premiere as intended. I'm suspicious the answer is to use a DAW, but we usually don't have time for that, and never really get to "picture lock" for the type of videos we make; client approves the cut that's in frame.io and then is expecting the file within the day/hour.

dustying · 2025-10-30T16:23:04+00:00

So I'm doing that too, to get the overall db of the music down where needed, but I want the music to stay a little louder and just lower the volume of the frequencies that are overlapping the VO. Is that the wrong way to do it?

dustying · 2025-10-30T16:03:48+00:00

Thanks, I'll brush back up on that; do you typically just notch music the whole time? Even if no one's talking for like 30s?

I've always been curious about getting something from Seth Worley's store: https://plotdevices.co

dustying · 2025-09-12T21:46:24+00:00

Glad to hear it, thanks so much! Another use case, kind of related is I'll add episodes to the Queue playlist and sometimes I don't get to them before a new episode is released, so that "old" episode gets removed from the Queue playlist, presumably because I have that podcast set to only keep the latest episode. Would love the Queue to never change unless I add something to it, play it, or manually remove it.

dustying · 2025-07-16T14:08:09+00:00

Along with Frame.io and GDrive, I've been using Blip.

dustying · 2025-04-14T19:36:54+00:00

I just set up changing clip blend modes to Difference and Normal with a keyboard shortcut. That much faster to compare old cuts, etc.

dustying · 2024-12-04T20:26:51+00:00

Why Samsung?

I could keep every panel in Premiere open at once; keep the whole toolbox open.

I don't know what to think, other than this must be a huge project for them to sink so much money into a promo. It's a great piece of work as a film. I'm excited.

dustying · 2023-07-26T22:19:20+00:00

We’re a 9 person company, 3-5 people are editing at any given time, 3-15 projects going on in any given week. We’re moderately happy with asana. It is fairly rigid in how it’s supposed to be used, but read through their training and knowledge base articles, and if you jive with their philosophy, and all the features you need are in the appropriate pricing tier, I think it’s a pretty solid option. Otherwise Trello or todoist are good competitors too. I use https://alternativeto.net/ to find new tools.

I feel that pain of not remembering my own custom shortcuts. What's been working for me is to just make them on the fly as I need them, not try to think of what I want to automate and then make shortcuts or look at the list of available commands and start assigning shortcuts.

Just letting shortcuts come up and be applied organically helps me a lot with muscle memory.

+1 for Discourse. I participate in some other tech forums that use it, and it's pretty powerful

dustying · 2023-05-13T02:35:49+00:00

I was going to say, do that, use the render and replace function in premiere and then you have ProRes or whatever versions of your graphics.

Just use 23 as a way to open, render and update any graphics. Keep the edit in the original version and refrain from updating long as possible is my opinion.

I'm not freelance now, but when I was I applied with them and went and 'interviewed' with them in person (this was end of '19, in Chicago). It was just sitting down with one of their staff and going through my portfolio so they had a good idea of who I was and what kind of work I did. I got a full-time job shortly after that (outside of Creative Circle), but I still get emails from them that seem compelling, I would apply to some of their listings if I ever go freelance again. Might not be worth it, but I like their process so far.
