Game of Thrones London Trailer workflow in X.
Just an interesting article, particularly relating to how magnetism helps Tom in High Profile promo trailer production by pinning SFX to ending clips and making it easier to time things…
FWIW.

The clip connection thing is cool – but anyone who does promo, builds the backplates that same way no matter what NLE. Just lasso all the clips and move them. Not quite as elegant as FCPX clip connections but really its a non issue.
Whats crazy is that he had 2 weeks to do such a simple edit, and if it was in another NLE – would it have taken 4? lol
Just kidding- I get it why a :30 cut can take 2 weeks, notes notes notes. Deal with it all the time,. Have spent more time on simpler things just cause of how many versions, v.o. tones, diff GFX packages etc.

As to the 2 weeks, getting to Copenhagen, settling in the hotel, finding a good coffee shop for the mornings and a bar for the evenings and researching how to say “have the newest cards arrived by bonded courier yet? in Danish cuz after all this is GofT! – all that stuff takes TIME to do at a truly professional level Neil.
That’s my presumption, anyway.

Having worked with agency creative teams for over two decades, this does not surprise me one bit. Sometimes it’s like “how slow do I go so you can hit your billable hours…?”

Or, do 8 million versions just to come back to what was close to a polished v1 two weeks later.

“Totally – I’ve had promos for networks go way over 2 weeks for shows waaaaay smaller than GOT.

That’s where the “zero frame trim” works it’s wonders.

Of course, one of the key takeaways from this article is this:
“When it came to sending across the timeline there were quite a lot of hoops to jump through and settings to get exactly right. But very basically, I exported an XML to Resolve, and an AAF from Resolve to Avid. This bought across the picture (though not any speed ramps).
With audio I tried to send as an AAF to Avid via X2Pro, but it didn’t like it (I suspect mixed sample rates and more than 24 mono tracks was the issue). So I consolidated all the audio files and used a spreadsheet from Producers Best Friend to rebuild the audio manually.
I wouldn’t particularly recommend this as a workflow, It was a little bit of a pain.”

ok, how about a day rate, restricted hours and overtime hourly (with a multiplier) after the set hour limit?
