@martintlaskal.bsky.social congrats on the Baselight for Mac release! I know that one has been a long time coming. At least I think so. I remember seeing Baselight running on a Mac laptop years ago at NAB.

Dang. I don’t think I knew that sidecar thing about Kyno. Yet another amazing thing about it that Signiant has screwed loyal users out of. 😠

You can still buy Kyno I think.

Corporate mergers are the most cynical things in the world. Has there ever been a bit corporate merger that was good for the consumer?

So is the Getty / Shutterstock merger really an exciting thing? Or is it gonna make prices go up? Or is that a cynical view?

The Angry Editor: Template Search is the new Music Search time suck by Scott Simmons - ProVideo Coalition Welcome to The Angry Editor.  For years I’ve teased the idea of The Angry Editor as a regular column here on The Editblog as a way to complain, gripe, nitpick, bellyache as well as air grievances out ...

Thanks to those who contributed some thoughts to this latest installment of The Angry Editor. #postchat

Pond5 had this via their Premiere Pro extension. It worked in the past but I haven't tried it in a long time. And I'm do think buying through Adobe Stock will do it.

Yes, like a music supervisor. I don’t think there’s anything like a “graphic and lower third” supervisor yet.

That’s the one I’m currently subscribed to and I would agree totally. but they honestly all kind of seem that way

Hello #postchat friends ... I'm working on a new The Angry Editor blog post, this time about the massive time suck it can be to search stock and template sites for the perfect graphics template. It's the new music search black hole.

What say you? Any thoughts or stories? Am I totally wrong here?

I tried the online cancel of the increasingly expensive YouTube TV and got offered $10 off a month for 6 months. So it worked.

I'm at the point where I now believe that the biggest editor time suck is going through the stock sites looking for a graphic element. It used to be stock music but I think graphics have replaced music. #postchat

Dearest @bsky.app friends and users. You do no have to repost, resky, retweet every goddamn thing you come across. Please don't make this app an endless stream of repost, resky, retweets ... I know it's easy to do and you want others read stuff. But at least provide commentary. Or don't do it.

It’ll be sad to see such a storied brand die
