Transcription remains the most efficient way to organize and make selects from interviews. There’s a wide array of online AI transcription services (temi.com) as well as human generated transcriptions (Rev.com).

There’s also transcription plugins that fully integrate with NLE’s like Digital Anarchy’s Transcriptive. Transcriptive works extraordinarily well with Premiere but not sure if it’s compatible with Resolve yet.

Thanks for sharing Oliver. As usual, Apple hits just the right emotional tone.

[Bob Zelin] “Does a 16 year old who is watching this care if it was shot in 8K on a RED at 5:1 compression, using AVID Media Composer with a 2019 Mac Pro with dual AMD Vega Pro II cards ? Its GOOD ENOUGH, and she got 3.8 Million views on this.
“

There does seem to be a healthy co-existence between the professional video world and the low/no budget world.

I see my 15 year old daughter as a barometer. She’s an avid TikTok fan and contributes her own videos to the platform. The viewing numbers for TikTok videos are stunning to say the least. And if anyone isn’t familiar with the platform, here’s their trending videos: https://www.tiktok.com/trending

At the same time, my daughter is also a devoted fan of high quality television shows like HBO’s Euphoria and a wide variety of Netflix and Hulu series.

I see a clear separation between the professional video/film world and the amateur internet video world. But for someone like my daughter, who’s grown up a digital native, I don’t think there’s any separation at all. It’s all just entertainment.

Hopefully, as long as there remains this balanced demand for content the industry can remain viable for us professionals. Hard to predict where it’s headed though.

[Bill Davis] “Imagine the bandwidth that will need to be deployed to live stream real-time lessons to all the students of a major system like the California Public Schools.”

Since we all work in a high tech field, it’s very easy to forget about the digital divide which may be a larger issue than bandwidth.

I have two high school aged kids in the San Francisco public school system. This system has been a very positive experience for our family from kindergarten to the present. We have no problem switching to online learning as a family but other families in our city don’t have the same access that we do. The public schools have a mission to serve kids from all socioeconomic backgrounds. And so in order for the programming to transition to online, the school system has to first get all of the kids online.

San Francisco is the epicenter of the tech world but unfortunately, that doesn’t translate to all children here having equal access to the internet. The SFUSD (San Francisco Unified School District) is attempting to level the playing field by giving out chromebooks to any families without home computers. That takes time and so the online learning curriculum start date has been delayed to accommodate the distribution of these laptops.

But even with these efforts by the SFUSD, there’s the added issue of wifi access. So I think it’s important to keep all of this in mind when discussing converting something as large and complex as the California public schools to online learning.

[Tim Wilson] “Can you tell us a little more about where you are, what kinds of speeds you get, and the kinds of things that you’re doing with Resilio? I think we all have a lot more to learn about the difference between what’s on a company’s website, and how it’s working for customers in the world.
“

I’m no expert on Resilio but I have used it quite a bit. In my home studio I have two 12 terabyte raids in a raid 0 configuration so the second raid is simply a mirror. I researched a fair number of utility programs that would keep both raids in perfect sync and I found that Resilio was the best solution for me. It’s also very reasonably priced. And for those who haven’t heard of it, Resilio is the legitimate business application of what was previously BitTorrent sync.

The best way to think about it is a continually running backup program that operates as a background process. For awhile I had two edit systems and so the two raids were being mirrored through a private ethernet network. I would guess I was getting around 100 MBPS transfer speed. I’ve added a laptop edit system which I sometimes use one of the raids with and so Resilio then works wifi only and I would estimate around 10MBPS transfer speed.

The key here isn’t speed obviously. It’s not impressively fast but it’s strength is in syncing with local hosts and more importantly remote hosts. Cloud applications like Frame.io have gotten the lion share of attention with all of the features that are offered and the simplicity of a web based client management platform. Resilio’s strength is that it has no data usage limitations. I would think the only limitation would be if your ISP has monthly data caps.

There’s also Resilio Connect which is their scalable remote data access app. This is enterprise level and I haven’t tried it out personally but it looks to be tailored for remote media work with a centralized media server.

For staff editors or long term contract editors working in a corporate environment, it’s a simple matter of logging into another machine with the corporate username/password so there would be no added cost to working from home.

This is actually one of the better aspects of the subscription model. The license isn’t necessarily locked to only one computer in one location.

[Michael Hoefler] “I don’t know if this solution fits needs outside our small corporate world but I was surprised that a P2P solution is not discussed here at CC.”

I use Resilio to keep two raids mirrored and it works extremely well. I would imagine it would also work very well for remote editors to stay in sync.

[Michael Gissing] “I’ve never seen ProResRAW on any production.”

Ditto. I’ve worked on a lot of projects since it’s introduction and zero have been shot in ProResRAW.

65mm?? I would venture to guess that 90% of viewership will be on a smartphone with a 3 inch screen. Good thing money is no object for Paul.
