In this episode we interview the creators of Post Notes Plugin, a new plugin for Premiere Pro CC that includes a panel of to-do lists and note-taking for each sequence. It's an easier way to keep track of what revisions need to be done and to incorporate notes from your director/producer directly into Premiere so you're not switching out to an email or word document all the time.
They tell us how they came up with the idea for Post Notes and what is next on the to-do list for handy plugins.
Also stay tuned till the end to hear us announce the winner of our Post Notes Giveaway Contest that we ran last week.

It's official! We are over the hill (in podcast episode numbers, that is). But it's meagre milestone when we realize we're going for 400 easily.
In this episode we talk about what it's like editing a feature with Davinci Resolve, once thought to only be a colour grading application. Until BlackMagic released version 12 with some NLE capabilities. It's not exactly the easiest transition in the world to change over to Resolve though...
Video Copilot came bursting into the party with a new plug-in (FOR FREE!). The Saber Plug-In for After Effects helps you create lightsabers, glow fade-off, lasers and other glowy, sci-fi stuff (http://www.videocopilot.net/blog/2016/03/new-plug-in-saber-now-available-100-free/).
PLUS, we have a contest! And you can win a pretty sweet prize. Our good pals over at Post Notes have released a plug-in that brings your to-do list of revisions and notes from the director directly into a Premiere panel. No more switching back and forth between Premiere and your email thread with the director or Preview with a pdf of changes to make (http://postnotes.io/).
So here's how you can win a copy of Post Notes for yourself: leave an iTunes review for the podcast...yeah, yeah, it's a shameful "Hungry for iTunes Reviews Contest" play, but whatever we're going with it and you get a copy of a handy plugin.

In this episode we're dealing with REJECTION.
Rejection is inevitable, whether it be in sales, in creative decision-making, or any other part of the business.
Failure is a part of the game. Rejection is universal.
How does rejection reflect on you? What is the best way to react to a rejection? How do you deal with a "No"?
Josh and Nick go into some tips on how to react to rejection and how it can actually benefit you in the long run.

In this episode we list off 3 key questions that you as an editor can ask early on to help yourself BIG TIME later down the road.
A lot of headaches can be avoided simply by asking the right question before you start working. We have 3 questions for the corporate/commercial editor and 3 for the narrative/feature film editor. So really you're getting double the value here.
Nick experienced some frustration dealing with Davinci Resolve 12 last week while assistant editing a feature. The director wants to cut the film right in Resolve for ease of workflow, but it's not as easy as it seems. He's going to share this process in this week's blog post. For now, here are some links to get you started with treating Resolve as an NLE.

And this Tuesday a new plugin will be revealed for Premiere. It's called Post Notes and boasts that it can bring your notes and to-do lists straight into Premiere instead of having to have them open elsewhere and switch between programs constantly. Will it work as well as we're hoping?

Do you attend conferences on your own time or your company's time? Do you feel like you are benefitting a lot from the ones you go to?
A little later than usual this week (because Nick traded his editing-at-desk job for a week to work on set of a horror feature) this episode is about all of those post-production conferences that are held throughout the year.
NAB, SXSW, SIGGRAPH and IBC are among the bigger ones you've likely heard of but there are many, many others that you could be attending. If you're antisocial or not a networking person you may not attend many right now, but you should because they can help you out in a lot of ways: expand your network of other post professionals, pick up new skills to boost your editing game, stay on top of new announcements and emerging technology and cement your position (both online and offline) as an expert in your field.
We list off some conferences that are worth attending, how to create a "plan of attack" to get the most of your time spent there, create a hitlist of people you want to meet, and other ways you can increase the returned value of getting out to more cons.
