Awesome walkthrough for Media Management. I just started as an Editor Assistant, and this is perfect for me to learn how to organize my footage and set up the project in Premiere. Thank you.
I literally went through your whole video. You were making this video when you had 994 subscribers and now you have 5730 subs. Your video just popped on my RU-vid feed. And I gave a shot and loved it. ❤️ True inspiration.
I wish if more parts of it came out! Such content is so rare, and the dedication you put in here is also worth mention. Btw, I would love to watch the movie, where I can I do so?
I never have projects and media on the same drive. Putting the project file at risk of drive failure when the drive constantly wrenching through tons of footage is a sketchy way to operate for me. Media is always retrievable from the archived cards, project file from a 12 hour edit day is not. Project on one drive, autosave on another, and then assets on the media drive. Protect those project files especially if you insist on using premier for long form. Be aware of relying 100% on SSD's as well (laptop editing) because they have limited read/write cycles before failure.
No, this management system is chaos. 1) you have to open the Time-based media file (in Finder) to see/hear what it is, 2) even in the NLE you have no idea (unless you're logging all the metadata) what anything is.
if you use a boom mic to film, how do you get the audio from there to a computer? I have no idea how I am supposed to actually get the audio that we filmed.
These are really helpful! What are your iMac’s specs especially being able to playback red footage? Debating on getting one especially for color grading! My PC build might be awesome with premiere but grading on it just isn’t the same as my rMBP :/
You are going to transcode to intermediate anyway so playing back red footage isn't a big deal for cutting. Playing back for online color of the locked edit is the only moment where that happens where realtime is less of a necessity. Also MAC is handicapped with Adobe software because the don't provide CUDA acceleration. You have to either spend more $$$ on a external GPU chassis or just build a PC for half the price.
I am doing my first feature film and have about 1.5 hours edited. Could you tell me the pro's and con's of using Compound clips....I am hesitant to use these, but I am starting to experiencing slower work flow just editing in the timeline.
Don’t normally do this but this video is too good not to say...START UPLOADING AGAIN! You’re too talented to not be creating content and you were heading rapidly to breaking the 10k barrier. I literally get paid to run RU-vid channels from filming and editing content to handling BS copyright claims I know about being a RU-vidr. And seeing the video you worked extremely hard on doing average let alone well then you genuinely can’t upload one day then the next upload day comes and you don’t upload because you think there’s no point due to dwindling numbers in general next thing you know it’s been 6 months and you’re sure your channels dead so you forget about it and don’t even feel bad about uploading. I’ve been there I’m actually in there right now except you actually have something that will always bring in an audience regardless. So, put that to side and hit upload on anything you’ve had in your catalog, try keep a schedule and go from there.
How to videos on editing a feature film are far too subjective. The NLE, the feature, the editor will all play a big part in how you do your workflow. So many of these videos conflict that I wouldn’t bother with them. The best route is find a video on a very well known Director about how he does his job and directs the story - this will be far more useful to you be as it will focus you on the things you need to be focused on.. STORY for one! If you’re an outright beginner, then you shouldn’t be editing a feature film you silly boy! Go film the cat in the garden.
