  If I had a dime…

  Just got this request, yet again, from another producer of a live-to-air TV production. Boy, if I had a dime…

  “…to fix things for a re-broadcast of our live show that aired last week, we scheduled an Avid edit with you to fix a flub. What we need from you is this:
  – edit out about 10 seconds of video
  – edit out the corresponding audio
  – remove the live closed captioning that displays the audio we’ll be cutting, but don’t change any of the other captioning.”

  (And sure enough, the captioning is delayed about 6 seconds.)

  One of these days, I’d love to just say “sure thing, we can do that”. Kind of like when someone calls your cell asking to place a pizza order – of course you take the order, right?

  Doh! (Although I hear Adrenaline v2.5.1 is making strides in the right direction by maintaining captioning on L21?)

  Just finished editing “Frank Lloyd Wright’s Buffalo” – see it on PBS Sept 4, 2006 at 10pm.
  (Yes, that is Labor Day)

  I still find it erntertaining to hear
  “Zoom and Enhance” from a producer behind me.
