I’m not saying that this is the wrong place to have this discussion but it would be a great thread to have over on “the Art of The Edit” forum. Tim?

[tony west] “One of the best things I saw on TV in years was that one take scene in True Detectives last year.
“

“Breaking Bad” “House of Cards”, “Better Call Saul” all great shows that keep the cuts to a minimum and are no less engrossing for it

[Steve Connor]

[chang shan] “As far as I know, it is difficult for FCP or Premiere to support GH4 4K videos directly.You need to get a more friendly format for NLEs before transferring GH4 4K videos to FCP/Premiere. Good luck!
“

No it’s not! I work with 4K from the GH4 on both NLE’s and it’s fine, FCPX seems to be slightly faster on my system

[Steve Connor]

Oh the effort of it, having to charge your watch EVERY NIGHT, it’s going to be a DISASTER I tell you.

[David Lawrence] “What if you could press a button and add a second primary? It would sit above or below the first. It would have the exact same affordances as the first primary, but all of its clips and clip relationships would stay attached to it instead. Primary #2 would be temporally independent of and unaffected by any changes in primary #1.

This would enable the benefits of absolute time while at the same time keeping the magnetic timeline’s other benefits as well.

I don’t see any downside. Do you?”

Nope!

[Steve Connor]

[Brett Sherman] “So it simply is not true that no one ever says what makes it faster.”

I would think that people might trust the word of the many experienced Editors who post on here rather than the usual scepticism.

[Steve Connor]

Nice!

[tony west] “He is not going to give up any “plans” for the future”

Although sometimes he does hint strongly 🙂

[Steve Connor]

[Simon Ubsdell] “No, sorry, I don’t get that either.

I don’t see how can you be a great feature film editor without a reasonable amount of experience as a lead editor on drama even if it’s only TV … which is clearly not the case here.

Sure, there’s an element of natural talent to being a great editor, but experience is a massive factor that can’t simply be discounted.

Anyone who’s ever cut drama will know that you keep learning and you keep getting better – the more edits you make the better editor you become. It really is as simple as that. I’ve never seen anyone who can cut immaculately without first having the experience, although I’ve seen a lot of beginners who were very impressive out of the gate – there are always gaping holes where their experience lets them down. Talented experienced editors just are better than talented novices and there’s no getting around it.
“

Perhaps they’ll call you next time Simon

[Simon Ubsdell] “[Andy Neil] “Be careful that you don’t equate experience with skill. Clearly Jan has the skill to cut a feature film. It was just not quantified (in IMDB credits). There’s no magic amulet required for cutting a film. The same skills are required for editing a good story whether it’s on TV, film, or the web. ”

This is a truly extraordinary claim. Are you really saying that the “skill” of operating the kit is all that it actually takes to cut a feature film?
“

No, clearly that’s not what he’s saying! He’s saying that Jan could be a great Editor WITHOUT the IMDB Credits
