what is editing speed ?
-
[Scott Witthaus] “Speed is where you know the software so well, only a fraction of your concentration is on the software and the vast majority is on the visual story in front of you. Doesn’t matter what software you are using, because when you get to that point where you “hardly have to think to play” then you are enjoying “editing speed”.

Go figure.”

Hasn’t seemed to work that way for me, now has it?

As a freelancer, I need to know Premiere which is why I keep my hand in it. When the client comes directly to me, it all goes through X. But sometimes I need to cut where X is not available and it always seems to be Premiere. I should fire up Media Composer one day and see if I can remember anything from that software.

“Perhaps he could discuss workflow in the Techniques forum instead?

Charlie,
For sure others don’t. But I’ll note that there are other X communities with 10s of thousands of active members and we both know lots of very experienced X editors who don’t EVER come around here. So it’s reasonable to wonder why.
I had a direct experience asking a highly skilled X editor doing top of the profession work to come and field questions. And after the experience, he did not really want to come back.
I think that says enough to underscore my point.
I’m fine with a “full contact” environment. Others are very uncomfortable in that same situation.
Herb echoed the same sentiment with his “no Guts no Glory” comment.
And so it goes.

“Do the very experienced Editors go on any of these “other” Forums. I keep an eye on quite a few of them and none of the ones I have seen match the quality of discussion both here and on the Techniques forum

Honestly, I feel that in general things here are much more civil than in the past. The civil discourse still gets derailed by the same people who’ve always derailed it. I try to ignore them. 🙂
