Beat Depression in the Edit Bay : Episode 67 0
Feb 18, 2017

Happy 30th Birthday, Josh! Join me in congratulating him for surviving on this earth for 30 straight years without incident. Tweet the show or leave a comment and I'll make sure he gets it. Send beer.

Long work hours. No sunlight. Dwindling social life and home time. With only the occasional interaction with a human. It can get pretty lonely in the edit bay.

Today we talk about how depressing it can be working in post (whether solo at your home office or with a team in a studio) and how you can beat those post-pro blues with just a few changes to your day.

You know what else will make you weepy? Wipster's big changes to their pricing plan. The video review service made several editors the world over shout in frustration with their 400+% price hike to their plans. Find out how this affects you and what other options there are. (psst...and if you ask us, you should be using Screenlight anyways).

Remember us gushing about how awesome Soundstripe is? (for those who didn't, listen to Episode 65 with our interview with Travis and Micah from Soundstripe). Now you can sign up for an account with them AND help out the podcast at the same time!

Soundstripe is now a proud (we assume) sponsor of the Command+Edit Podcast! Use this link to get access to Soundstripe's music library and get unlimited tracks and licences for all of your projects. One size fits all, no more worrying about those expensive licences or how many tracks the budget can afford.

Should You Charge for Exporting? : Episode 66 0
Feb 6, 2017
Hellooooooo? Can anyone hear us?
 
Oh, wait. Someone’s there? Oh! It’s you! You, dear listener, are there! Did you forget about us?
 
We know it’s been awhile. It’s been awhile for us too. We, Nick and Josh, haven’t caught up since before the holidays (yeah…that long ago) and in this episode we get into all sorts of post production topics that have been going on in our lives recently.
 
  • We’ll dive into Nick’s film, one that’s been in “post hell,” that Nick has been resurrecting.
  • Josh started a new comedy series and had to make a tough choice between starting it in Premiere or Media Composer.
  • Nick applied to join a union, the DGC (Director's Guild of Canada)
  • Josh got a kettle bell!
  • Nick fell in love with a fitness challenge on fellow post-production podcast, Fitness in Post
  • We talk about Black Mirror, Daredevil (again), Six and basically every TV show out there.
 
We wrap up the episode talking about an important topic for any editor that charges by the hour.
 
Do you charge when the computer is working and you aren’t? Do you charge for importing/exporting/rendering/uploading/etc.? Our awesome Facebook group (link below!) gave us plenty of opinions and we each add our own. Don’t miss this part!
