    Somebody offered me a job today but i had to turn it down here is the message

    this is a junior position working on Avid

    The job would be creating compilation playouts, basically replacing the current intro, clocking and making a compilation sequence. There will be 170 x 6min to compile into about 10 compilation playouts

    I dont have a clue what clocking is?

    any ideas?

    I assume they mean putting clocks on the front.
    -30 sec visual countdown to picture start with key info held (name, running time, prod co etc)

    are you sure it doesn’t mean punching? That’s what it means to me, “I clocked him a good one.”
