Hello, I am currently in pre-production on a feature and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations in terms of producer`s reps, that have proved useful for them in distribution of their own films. Although this step is a long ways off, I know. I`m looking to put together a solid list...

Hello, My name is Alex and I have just finished editing a feature film. I`m looking to see if anyone on Indietalk is working on any narrative projects that you wanted to collaborate on, in terms of post production/editing. I`ve been seeking a new project and looking to network with others in...

Hi everyone, I`m prepping for an assistant editor job on a production that will be using 5d Mark iii`s as our main cams. And I wanted to double check what the card structure is when shooting with the Intra (ALL-I) codec. When Intra spans the files for when they go past 4gb, are all the files...

Hey everyone, I`ve been ramping up on prep for assistant editor work on a low budget feature shoot in a few weeks. We`re going to be shooting with 2 cams the majority of the time. On previous shoots I`ve seen both cameras slated with just one slate, and given the same camera set up. So both...

Hello, I`ve been digging up some older monitors to use on a "Harpertown" 2008 Mac Pro Avid I am putting together, and I wanted to check about video/audio sync latency when using Avid with LCD monitors. Set up will be software only for the time being. The monitor I have that I want to use, as...

Hi, I`m looking to use Sync N Link for Final Cut 7 on a feature narrative project shooting with two cams (RED MX), and I was wondering what would be the best way to handle the workflow when it comes to keeping the Final Cut project file size under control. Sync N Link uses the merge clips...

Hi, I am currently gearing up as the editor for a short film that will use require some minor chroma key work (to replace a green screened tv with tv announcer footage.) We won`t be shooting the news footage until much later in the schedule, but I still want to be able to get a head start on...

Hi, I`ve been learning the timecode dual system auto match feature in RCX-P. I`ve recorded my RED footage at 23.98 and my audio at 48.000 hz with a 23.98 timebase. Both are jammed with timecode. After running automatch, in the control section of the audio tab, it shows 48hz as the frequency...

Hi, I`m the assistant editor on a local indie feature, shooting in a few weeks. I`ve been reading over the script and the writer for some reason has decided to use letters in his/her scene heading markings on certain pages. Scene 1A, 1B, 2, 3, followed by 3A, etc. For labeling clips, I like...

Hi, I`m currently moving over to Premiere from Final Cut, and I`m still learning the ropes. I`ve made up a test sequence and I am trying to transfer over my audio/video timeline into either Sony Acid 6 or Vegas Pro for more controlled mixing. I see that Premiere has OMF export support, but...

Hey guys, I`m working on a short and wanted to ask one quick copyright question. One of the characters will be reading a book in one shot (camera sees the book`s cover art) Do I have to worry about getting any sort of release for it to be on screen? Is only seen visually, none of the character...
