This looks very promising - an agentic AI workflow using Premiere Pro and ClaudeAI: www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_ao... #postsky

My wife just described Tipper Gore as “that lady who tried to cancel the eighties.”

I constantly forget which letter to leave out of the name Letterboxed.

Drew just sent me this

Been stuck in bed with a cold the last 3 days, so I’ve been amusing myself with Premiere Pro’s Generative Extend. Took 10 frames of Captain Howdy from The Exorcist and stretched it into 4 eerie seconds. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lU_C... #postsky #postchat

Premiere supports emojis in label names, marker comments, and bin metadata. Anyone else using emojis in their post workflow? #postchat #postsky

Surely the Germans have a word for the soul-crushing despair an editor feels when their carefully crafted 16:9 edit is mangled into 9:16 and the whole thing turns into an incoherent mess. Vertikalverzweiflung, maybe. #postsky #postchat

Hi! I'd love to get a few more paid subscribers to my Patreon before the month closes. I just finished reading an excellent conspiracy theory book and plan to review it for subscribers later this week. patreon.com/MikeRothschild

Truly bizarre hearing Jimmy Fallon describe a scene I edited: youtu.be/qCc4XOMowis?... #postsky

This doc was one of my funnest editing experiences ever: m.youtube.com/watch?v=B9OC... #postsky

Yeasayer wrote this song about the first Trump administration 6 years ago - but it seems even more relevant today: I'm so distressed Nerves so shaken I can't take more Of this hateful live I hoping for a settled score I'm sad and bored Of this hateful live www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgDh...

getting banned from r/ratm for referring to the band as "audioslave with zack de la rocha"

I used Claude.ai to recommend a Tom Waits album. Waits is one of those artists that I've always wanted to get into, but I've been overwhelmed by his discography. Claude asked me what kind of music I liked (strong songwriting, don't mind experimental), then it made a suggestion - and it was spot on.

When people say 'run government like a business,' they mean cut services, raise prices, and pay the CEO 400 times more than the workers.

Hey @thepotsnpans.bsky.social I love the mixing on Sizzle Town! What do you do for the phone effect on Tony's voice - is it an effect, or do you actually play it down a phone line and record it?

Apparently there are just two copies of the hardcover of Jewish Space Lasers left on Amazon. If two people buy them, then Amazon has to get more of them. Everyone wins! www.amazon.com/Jewish-Space...

Fox News talking about Luigi Mangione, but make the footage Kyle Rittenhouse

“Everything is true. God's an Astronaut. Oz is Over the Rainbow. And Midian is where the monsters live...”

Is it just me, or does this marketing tie-in seem at odds with the point of the TV series?

Have you seen Atomic Abe’s deep dive on the many spin-off attempts of The Flintstones??? Check it out! youtu.be/ktFBuaP26eI?...

When I was that age, I spent hours making my own radio plays with a dual cassette recorder. Maybe that’s why I always begin editing with sound before picture... What about you? What were you passionate about at that age, and how has it shaped who you are today? #postsky #postchat

I was hooked for the first 30 mins—so tense! But then... Hugh Grant made a long-winded point about religion using a Monopoly analogy. He followed it up with the same point, but with a Hollies song. By the time he was doing a bad Jar Jar Binks impression, all the tension was gone. #Heretic

Managing interview transcripts and other documents for a feature doc can be overwhelming. Lately, I’ve been using NotebookLM (from Google, and it’s free) to streamline the process. It’s been a huge help in staying organized. Here’s how I use it: #postsky #postchat

When was the first time you noticed editing in a movie? #postchat #postsky

Took my son to ‘Transformers One’ to escape the heat. I wasn’t expecting much, but started noticing it was actually… good? Well-written even. The most surprising transformation? Me, into a blubbering mess by the end.

Sure, the bone-to-spaceship match cut in "2001" is iconic, but I'm obsessed with that weird edit in "The Hudsucker Proxy" where the scene wraps up at the end of the song verse, holds as Peter Gallagher looks at his drink, then abruptly cuts on the first word of the next verse. #postchat #postsky

To whet your appetite for a big Art of the Cut this week, here's a #timelinetuesday screenshot from "Gladiator II." This Thursday we'll talk with Sam Restivo and Oscar-winning editor, Claire Simpson about their work with Ridley Scott. @acefilmeditors @boris_fx @gladiatormovie

Do you edit with or without temp music? I know many editors, especially in scripted, are strongly opposed. They feel temp music overly influences their edit and becomes dependent on it. Personally, I can't imagine editing without temp. Here are my 3 reasons: 🤔 #postchat #postsky

How do you speed up your editing process? Editing faster isn't just about finishing early—it's about gaining time to be more creative and try different ideas. For me, something that really helped speed up my editing was a brief career in coding. 1/2 🤔 #postchat #postsky

@colebrax.bsky.social this place could do with some nyc geekin.

The role of an editor is part salesperson, part magician, part psychiatrist. #postchat #postsky

As a documentary editor, I'm always searching for ways to find dramatic structure in real-life stories. Recently, a screenwriting friend recommended Laurie H. Hutzler's Character Map, and it's been a total game changer for my current project! erlendbv.tumblr.com/post/6391398... #postchat #postsky

I first fell in love with this poem at 13, when I read it in the opening of ‘Skeleton Key’ by @stephenking.bsky.social. #StephenCrane

When creating multicams in Premiere Pro, naming options do more than set the name in the Project panel. They also control what displays in the Timeline—and this can’t be changed later. Let’s break it down. 1/4 #postchat #postsky

Hello all. I'm coming over from Twitter. I'm a feature film, TV and documentary editor and I have a podcast and series of books called "Art of the Cut." If you're interested in the way that editing supports the storytelling of cinema, please give me a follow and let others know that I'm here.
