Also - ask it for feedback on your content/questions...
Useful new features for podcasters and interviewers from
@RiversidedotFM
- including an AI producer who will 'cut fluff' from your recordings (or at least make suggestions)
Not sure I'm ready to see all my meandering questions critiqued in that way! :)
Colour grading in black and white the right way.

Always!
(Actually no.) But for some reason it has to have the world wide web part of www.cut-daily.com/quiz
Will iteratively make it harder I think...

5 Annoying Things Video Editors Do
(How many are you guilty of?)
#1. Not being open to trying things...
#2 - Unilaterally knowing better than Production
#3 - Grumbling about changes
#4 - Saying “We don't have that.”
#5 - Terrible Time Estimation

Updated this post on DIY Custom Editing & Grading Gear
– WASD keycaps no longer exist
- Update to editing keypad design
- Magnetic and under-desk Stream Deck cradles
Plus a lot more nerdy fun!

Watched Conclave and I keep coming back to the final trio of shots.
Such a great way to end the film.
Here's my interview with the Editor Nick Emerson for his Oscar-nominated work on the film.
Part of his advice?
"Cut for a reaction, not a line.”
