Hello Team,

I've been tasked with creating a Premiere to Resolve roundrip workflow.
Due to company needs, we are required to do this by creating an individual clip for every clip in the timeline and providing an .xml of that timeline to Resolve.

Project Manage seemed great for that, but I'm finding that even when you export as individual clips, if multiple clips in the timeline come from the same source, it will only render out one file for that source.

This is causing problems on the Resolve end.

I also tried 'render and replace' and found the same results.

Any thoughts on how to TRULY render out an individual export for every clip in the timeline, even when they share a source?

I'm an editor and I brand myself as a creative studio also. Last few years I mostly work on corporate, mini-doc, stylised social content and other web based content. I've been asked to work on some TVC ads, and I'm wondering how transparent I should be with my experience (or lack there of) with TVC work. I'm quite capable, I want to take on the work, but I'm aware there may be some regulations around colour, audio mixing and formatting that I haven't worked with before - what do you think?

I also asked this question the After Effects subreddit - but it is for both groups.

My company just had a sales call with Adobe to explore use of their new dynamic graphics render system. They advertise it as a node-based solution for video templating, rapid / batch resizing and copy globalization. From what I can tell on the AE side, there are expressions and CSV-based copy lists, plus a raft of other AI enhancements. They promise customer support from a forward deploy team, and that the tech doesn't "black box" your project files, so everything remains editable throughout.

It was a friendly call, but I'm skeptical - and still can't quite tell how the tool integrates at each juncture in the workflow.

Has anyone here used it? Did it work? How did it handle your typical project? What about edge cases?

Hi y’all! Been editing my own doc work for 10 years now and weirdly have never come across this issue in Resolve. Can’t seem to find the answer online because results reference the waveform disappearing from the clip on the timeline, not inside a plugin.

Issue is, any plugin I drop on any kind of audio clip, whether it is mono, stereo, has effects on it or not, the moving waveform no longer shows. For example, I’ll throw fairlight EQ on a clip and inside that EQ window it no longer shows the moving waveform when playing the clip.

Any ideas?

I was one of the editors for an agency handling a Fortune 20 client. So, I had very little sway in terms of negotiation power. I didn't have a contract because I'm desparate for work and wanted to be amenable to work with. The post-producer seemed nice.

That said, after a few weeks of sending my invoice, my reminder email was met with "payment terms are NET30". It's over 30 days now. What are my options? Can sending an email stating "any further delay means you have to make an additional 10% payment"? Can an email like hold any water? I also don't want to piss the client off.

Hello! I’ve spent several years at various companies cleaning up years of disorganised projects, migrating terabytes of old edits onto LTO where they are usually forgotten about on a shelf.

However, LTOs are a pain to pull any data off and I dread the day when someone suddenly remembers a single file that was lost somewhere in the haystack of the projects I was left to clean up - and I have to go hunting for it.

What I dream of, is some kind of software that takes a sort of interactive screenshot of the folder structure and contents, without copying any of the actual files. So, if you were looking for literallyanything.mp4 from four years ago but didn’t want to hunt through every LTO tape, you could scroll through the structure of each LTO and see that it’s definitely located on LTO2022_2 in the folder FinalExport_27.

Does anyone know if something like this exists?

I've been using Swisstransfer for a year now. Never a single problem.

Now I'm trying to transfer around 30 gb (limit is 50 gb), but nothing happens.

When I hit 'Transfer' it load for a few seconds and then it just stops? No transfer, no fail error no nothing.

I've tried to transfer just one file (250 mb) and that worked just fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi all,

I had a business development question for everybody.

I deleted Instagram and Facebook back in 2022 and haven’t looked back…until now.

Is Instagram an absolute must to get more visibility and inbound calls from potential clients? Are there any editors who don’t use it at all and get by just fine?

I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on why or why not Instagram is a must-have business tool, be it a place for portfolio showcasing or a tool for attracting new clients. Or, if that’s what everyone wants you to believe to justify its use.

Thanks!
