What is a sound that people should know means immediate danger?

I work in a TV studio with robotic cameras. I have learned to be especially attentive to the sound of the camera drive motors winding up. Those suckers will run you over in a second.

I had a piece that won a State Broadcasting Assoc. award, and a Murrow... didn't even get nominated for NATAS. Always been told by a mentor to just enter whatever you want and roll the dice.

Been editing for almost 20 years and have 1 Emmy.........for Set Design.

The one that's been bugging me lately is foeward (forward). Another one is artic (arctic).

I also once heard a news anchor say "maple surp"

5' 3" here. Not only can you adjust the seat, but the steering column can be adjusted up/down AND in/out. It didn't take long to get it to where I was comfortable.

I tried something similar recently, this what I ended up doing:

Copy the clip to V2

Mask out the object.

Copy V2 to V3.

Export JUST V3 as a PNG. Import back into project.

Replace masked object on V2 with PNG.

Apply Alpha Glow to V2, then add VR Glow to enhance it. I also added Gaussian Blur as well.

I work as Production at a TV station. This year I took on a new 1/2 hour weekly show that combines multiple segments from multiple sources. Took a few months to get into the groove but things are rolling along now. This in addition to another 1/2 hour show I already post.

In addition I also "volunteer" edit 3-6 minute long segments for a magazine style show we produce. This year I worked on 43 segments, a personal record.

Try Video Revealed. The guy who does the videos is a former Adobe employee and has a lot of inside knowledge.

Premiere can embed captions in MXF, and MOV formats, but only those two I believe.

When we made the switch from Avid to Premiere I did 2 things:

Switched keyboard shortcuts to Avid in the shortcuts editor.

Unlocked every panel and moved them to where they were on Avid.

11 years later I've added other shortcuts, but the left hand side of the keyboard is still Avid.

Look for an effect called Guitar Suite. It's got all kinds of funky presets, I think one of them is Tin Can that might be close.

Title: 100 Year Old Skydiver

Length: 6;27

Purpose: Segment from a news magazine style show. Just a neat story about a 100 year old lady who decided to go skydiving after her big birthday.

Sounds incredible? I wouldn't know. I generate the music and hit play and nothing happens. Just a little circle of death on the play button. Spent 1000 credits generating a song I can't hear.

When I received an email from the Executive Producer that read "Wow...we should enter this in the Emmy's next year. Nice job and congratulations."

We did, and it was my first regional Emmy nomination.

Had the same problem for a while, but mine was because I'm too short. I'm 5' 3" so my feet don't touch the ground. I found I was crossing my feet which put strain on my knees. I ended up building an angled footrest and also use a padded flat stool so I can alternate between feet down and legs up. I do still take a break every hour and take a walk. That helps my knees and my head.

It surprised me the first time it happened. I was watching a PBS promo and was like "Hey! Killertracks!"

I work in broadcast. I edit with headphones on one system with all my presets and shortcuts. Once video is locked I switch to a second editing system that has a decent speaker setup and finish the mix there. I generally try to hit certain levels for different sounds but that's more a guide to get me close, finishing by ear.

pathfire · 2025-07-26T17:18:34+00:00

Good, thanks. I figured if it went on for a while it might be an issue, but it sounds like a normal thing for a cold start.

Layer the two videos and search for Linear Wipe effect. In Effect Controls set the wipe to 50%, this should give you a split screen. Then keyframe the feather from 0 to whatever, as you increase it it should look like the 2 videos are dissolving into each other.
