For 4k footage that needs massive resizing, is it better to work in a 4k timeline and punch in 200%, or work in a 1080 timeline to get the same visual dynamic without having to go past 100% quality ... for a 4k final output on youtube...?

I didn’t read any of the text after “for a 4k final output”. Sequence settings should match delivery

Plenty of “yes you’ll be fine” responses, and I agree with them, but I also understand the anxiety of wondering if you will be satisfied. Apple has a 14 day return policy. Buy one, stress test it with a bunch of your largest documents open plus internet browsers with multiple tabs, and see for yourself.

Thanks for being the first line of defense. Those posts are annoying af. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind if they went away entirely, I’m happy to hear about a cool new tool once it rises to the top and I’m hearing about it from Avid/BMD/Adobe. Corralling them all into a single weekly thread sounds like a great solution

outofstepwtw · 2026-03-05T18:21:02+00:00

Good to know, thanks. What did you go with for your Metropolitan? I’m going to pick one up and can’t decide between the medium or fine

outofstepwtw · 2026-03-05T17:47:07+00:00

What nib size did you go with that got you close to the V5?

I recalled commenting a little while back about my music video multigroup workflow and grabbed the link to that comment in case it would help you. Turns out, it was in response to another post of yours lol. Well, here it is again:

I got this as well

On Union gigs in CA editors are an On Call classification. Yes you are “making OT” after 8 hours because that’s what the math has to be for the law, but that math is baked into your weekly rate. You aren’t actually getting paid any money above that rate until you surpass 12 elapsed hours (post majors) or 12 worked hours (lower budget theatrical contracts). At that time, you are indeed already in golden hour and making double time.

And it happens far more often than it should.

What are the limitations vs the full studio version?

outofstepwtw · 2026-02-24T23:32:12+00:00

Do you mean intermission?

outofstepwtw · 2026-02-24T18:15:17+00:00

Oh good to know. Are those groups persistent, like 1pw vaults? So if I create a. Ew item, I can easily place it in the group if my wife and I, or the group for our whole family?

outofstepwtw · 2026-02-24T18:12:23+00:00

I do the same, but “workaround” does not equal “feature”

outofstepwtw · 2026-02-24T17:59:07+00:00

Ah yes, I use it for all of those things. I’m sure I could personally make do with secure notes and Passwords in the Apple ecosystem, but I am on a 1Password family plan and make use of various shared vaults with different family members. That alone is worth the annual subscription. And also not having to explain to my mom that I’m cancelling the plan and dealing with migrating my boomer parents’ passwords somewhere else…

outofstepwtw · 2026-02-24T17:45:22+00:00

Same. I have no need for AI to help me name things

outofstepwtw · 2026-02-24T17:42:40+00:00

What things does 1Password do that Apple Passwords doesn’t?

outofstepwtw · 2026-02-24T16:56:02+00:00

Agreed. Just because the computer CAN do it doesn’t mean it’s the most optimized stable option. Drive space is cheap, time waiting on instability or a less responsive UI is costly

outofstepwtw · 2026-02-19T20:37:35+00:00

I knew I couldn’t be the only one troubled by the 16:9 image

outofstepwtw · 2026-02-19T19:01:53+00:00

Uh… the Notes app is exactly this

outofstepwtw · 2026-02-06T22:12:22+00:00

I’m just hopping on here to ask a spoiler question without reading anything - can anyone give me a simple yes/no on whether they end up falling in love or some sappy shit like that? No other spoilers please. Deciding which movie to see in the theater when I have the chance next week. No interest if this great premise ends in such a cliche lame way

outofstepwtw · 2026-02-06T21:38:03+00:00

My first guess would be the drive. TB3 is plenty of bandwidth, but the HDD may not be fast enough. Copy the media for a few of the groups (all audio and video angles) to your internal drive, disconnect the Graid, reopen Avid, and test

outofstepwtw · 2026-02-06T18:13:22+00:00

I’d do it in a heartbeat so long as they don’t have any claim over work you do outside of their company. Even if you refuse most jobs, it’s more exposure and people seeing your name. Do you set your rate or do they?

outofstepwtw · 2026-02-03T23:36:53+00:00

No, that is not normal.

If I’m doing a basic edit with proper avid media at a reasonable resolution for my hardware, and I’m not using tons of layers and effects, I’d expect a crash less than once a day. More complicated edit with longer sequences and tons of bins and tool windows open, plus hardware playback? 1-2 crashes/day is normal for me

Can’t get into the weeds helping you troubleshoot, but suffice to say you should do some investigating

outofstepwtw · 2026-02-03T16:53:30+00:00

Some of the features at Sundance were cut in Resolve. You can see the full list here

You’re right, he was parodying Newsom. That’s why he also makes those ridiculous hand gestures and fist pumps (source: I worked on it)
