Pretty much! As I ingest each bin I would lock the media files off (the folder with the db in) by renaming them the same as the bin and then copy those folders and the bin to my drive

Then when I start a new project all my audio just needs copying over and the the bin adding to my new project

Rachel’s Edit Suite Check List | Notion Because I like to /move into/ my edit suite because I spend more time there than my home. And organisation makes me happy.

Hey #postchat I like to move into my edit suite so I made the worlds most extensive Assistant Editor check list.

I’m not crazy I’m just prepared

The sun came out and my mood lifted at least 3 notches

Save The Prince Charles Cinema The iconic Prince Charles Cinema in London’s West End future is under serious threat! We are beyond disappointed that our landlords Zedwell LSQ Ltd and their ultimate parent company Criterion Capital...

This legend cannot die! Soho is the heart of TV and Film, it needs independent cinemas to remain so

Don’t let them interfere with UK politics unless they live here!

It’s looking like Logitech will be the way forward, absolutely baffling that companies aren’t trying to widen their audience

No way!!! It lets you install razor software but doesn’t allow you to program with it 🥹

I had no idea operating system wars were still going on in 2025! All I want is some extra buttons to use in Avid haha

Oooo this is interesting!

I’ll have to do a bit of research whilst waiting for my refund

A RedDragon Impact, think I’m going to return it and get a Razor Naga Pro honestly

More annoyed that the Amazon page says it’s Mac compatible when it’s really not!

So it turns out my shiny new multi-button mouse comes with software not compatible with Mac 😭

Any suggestions on how to get it working with a third party app??

So I’m lucky on this job and have a lab that I can send an EDL and guide off to straight from avid

But the database tracks all my VFXs through all the versions etc and generates a pdf that I can give to the VFX company with any and all information they may need

Same with start frame which is always 1001, FMP will take the total frame pull duration add them together to get the end frame count, then do the handle calculations again.

Basically I hate math and would rather sit and code than do math every time I pull a VFX haha

So for example my bin provides the start/end TC of the VFX pull, I tell FMP there is 8frame handles on each end and it will recalculate the TC and put it in it's own section of the count sheet.

I'm using it to track VFX and create VFX count sheets!

So I export an avid bin, filled with VFX subclips, with all the camera/scene/LTO information in my bin view. I import that into individual FMP records.

Then it does my frame handle calculations, frame durations and TCs.

I’m in Avid! Never used FileMaker Pro as my database before so everyday is an adventure 😅

I’ve just automated 90% of my VFX turnover math within FileMaker Pro

I deserve a drink

Maybe I should just get a old cat who sleeps all day

If I was to get a little dog to come to me dit suite with me… what type would be best?

I’m thinking a corgi

If my gym close the location that I signed up for surely I get to leave my contract early?

I signed up a month ago and nobody mentioned that the 'home' gym I chose is actually closing at the end of the year. Just as I was finally getting in to a routine. 🫠

Added - thank you!!

Also these are the current predictions incase anyone is interested

I really need to catch up on my potential best picture viewings!

Sing Sing is currently top pick for me at the moment

I am slowly coming around to AI in certain situations.

Also I just asked ChatGPT to go over my monthly budget to see if it's reasonable and it didn't question my Tim Hortons habit so it's gone up in my estimation.

Random question for the masses, how are we keeping the midnight MacBook Airs clean? The finger print situation is.... a lot.

My brain has convinced me in the last few months that im terrible at my job and that everything I do is wrong

Therefore I’ll spend my evening panicking that the export I left going is all wrong since I can’t remote in to check

Added to the list!

I’m so tired

I’m hoping to tap out at 1500 😅

Also some are currently on cyber Monday discount so have a check!
