Be careful, it is just as easy to overcut as it is to hold shots too long. Feel is key, if it feels good, do it.

About as good a start as you could have. Try imagining the entire scene in your head as you go. Feel where you think cuts should be and then imagine another feeling, then try to make the best feeling you have work for you. With so many options you should be able to come up with several options each giving a slightly different feel and look to the scene.

I would love just once to have that problem. Too many options just seems like maybe an oxymoron. I never have had too many options, have many times had too few options, and that is the true test, make it work with too few options.

I’m really disappointed that Ron or Kathlyn didn’t respond to my comment. They are usually right on top of these things. But anyhow, again, Welcome Jeremy. Now how do I make this program work?

Check this out and see if it helps.
https://www.videouniversity.com/tvbars2.htmA good example of what is being said about having a good monitor for checking video. A local production company owner (Not a very technical guy) had just purchased a $15,000 Ikegami monitor and asked my engineer to come over and set it up for him. He commented to the engineer that his cheap little 13 inch Sony’s which he had paid about $600 for looked better than the $15,000 Ike monitor. My engineer didn’t have the heart to tell him that what he saw on the $15,000 Ike was what his (badly needing setup) cameras actually looked like. I’m not saying you need to spend $15,000 for a monitor, most people can’t afford that. Just try to make sure your monitor is as close to correct as you can make it. Best not to use parade for overall setup with scope use the vector scope to make sure the colors are not outside the circle, and use the waveform to check pedestal and white levels. That is as simple as I can get with it.

I went thru the menu on my UVW1800, and find nothing concerning turning the TBC on or off. If it was capable it would be a menu item. If you wnat it to lock to itself, you might try taking one composite video output and looping it into the reference in. That is the only workaround I can think of according to what you might be trying to do.

I try to never lock myself into any set pattern concerning editing. I consider each and every project a totally new job, even to the extent that it is a new career unlike anything I have ever done. Not to mean I never repeat something that has worked in the past, I will go back 40 years if need be to dig up something I discovered back then that would fit this instance.
Anyhow back to the basic question. I will sometimes replace a single word if I like the inflection that was used on it better than the one in the edit. I use whatever works maybe even cutting at a different point visually to make a certain delivery work better. Keep all doors open and think outside the box on each and every project and edit, and you will learn that there are many things that can work.

Hey Jeremy,
Welcome to a great organization. At least that is what Ron and Kathlyn tell me this is.
Just joking. I feel we have a great family at the COW and love to see it keeps growing.Charlie

There are so many variables possible in this scenerio, there is no pat simple answer. Let me give you a sample:
Your 13″ JVC may not be setup correctly.
The TV Master Control person doing the transfer into their playback system may not be watching levels correctly. (Did you check your levels on a scope, did you have color bars for reference for their setup?)
Your TV that you are watching at home my not be setup properly.
This is just three of many possible reasons.

It won’t play back without the TBC, so why would you want to turn it off?
I have never seen anything that would allow it to be turned off because, again I ask, why would you want to?Charlie
