Scott Simmons
Scott Simmons was born in rural West Tennessee and didn't really realize that movies and tv had to be made by actual people until he went to college. After getting degrees in both Television Production and Graphic Design he was in one of the early graduating classes at the Watkins Film School in Nashville, Tennessee. During that time at Watkins he discovered editing. While most of his classmates in film school wanted to be directors, Scott saw real career opportunities in post production and took a job as an assistant editor after completing film school. In 1999, Scott took the leap into freelancing and in 2007 accepted a position as an editor at Filmworkers - Nashville. In 2005 Scott created The Editblog a website dedicated to all things editing and post-production which is now housed here at PVC. Someday he hopes to edit on a beach with a touch screen device, a wireless hard drive and a Red Stripe.

New That Post Show: Edit Pro SupergoodNew episode is a discussion of Avid Media Composer and Final Cut Pro X
Just over a week ago I enjoyed sitting in on another episode of That Post Show where we had a calm and rational (mostly) discussion of Avid Media Composer 6 and Apple Final Cut Pro X. While it might seem these two NLEs are rather far apart in their perception and target market they are indeed both non-linear editors that can be used to tell a story as well as the two newest NLEs on the block. The show is called Edit Pro Supergood and it’s a long one, clocking in at a bit over two hours. more »

All of the Automatic Duck plug-ins are now freeWith the move toward Adobe Auto Duck is doing a solid for the editing and post community
It was just over a month ago that the post-production community was surprised by the news that the perennial workflow / transfer tools from Automatic Duck were suddenly gone. If you’ve been under a rock get up to speed on that news here and here. Another bombshell dropped Friday night when news broke that all those legacy Auto Duck products are now available for free. more »

A report on Walter Murch’s talk at the Boston SuperMeetThanks to Chris Portal for taking pictures and summarizing Murch’s talk
I wasn’t able to make it to the October 27 Boston SuperMeet though I really, really wanted to go. With a lineup that included the editor of Apocalypse Now and The English Patient, that would be Walter Murch of course, as well as Andrew Weisblum, editor of Black Swan and The Wrestler this looked to be a craft-focused event. Of course everyone wanted to know what Murch thinks of Final Cut Pro X and thanks to Chris Portal’s report from the event we now know. more »

A lesson learned from my FCPX to Resolve roundtripsFCPX can lose its links to media (and send clips offline) if the files are modified by another application.
I learned a hard lesson today about Final Cut Pro X after doing some roundtrip testing between FCPX and the newly released Resolve 8. That lesson was to be very careful when using clips that FCPX is referencing in other video applications. If some piece of metadata is modified in the file, even if the video stays exactly the same, FCPX may not be able to see it. Also, if you’re doing extensive audio mixing in FCPX be aware that the mixed clips won’t roundtrip. more »

Advertisement Update Alert: DaVinci Resolve 8.1: FCPX support, lots of little thingsThis latest update allows roundtripping to and from FCPX as well as refinements for other workflows
The engineers over at Blackmagic Design continue their mad dash to update and upgrade DaVinci Resolve. The end of last week saw the release of Resolve 8.1. This comes after the huge 7 to 8 upgrade we saw earlier in the year but this incremental update to 8.1 adds some pretty significant features itself. Probably the headline feature is support for Final Cut Pro X’s new XML format. Secondary to that but equally important to those using Resolve in a grading facility is better Avid Media Composer roundtripping and some FCP7 XML updates. Plus you can even use Resolve 8.1 as a go-between to move from FCPX to FCP& or maybe Media Composer to FCPX! That is if that need ever really arose. Read on for a list of changes and some experiments with roundtripping. more »

$995 Final Cut Pro to Media Composer crossgrade ending very soonAs of October the crossgrade price goes up $500 This is just a reminder that if you want to take advantage of the $995 Final Cut Pro to Avid Media Composer Crossgrade then you better act fast as it ends on Friday, September 30. This promotion has been going on since around NAB and it’s been a great opportunity for Final Cut Pro 7 (this excludes FCPX) users to get Media Composer at an unheard of price. If you don’t take advantage of this deal the crossgrade price goes up to $1,499. more »

Kicking the tires on the Final Cut Pro X 10.0.1 updateThe first update for FCPX gains some big features
Today was the day that many of us who’ve been following the Final Cut Pro X saga have been waiting for. An update hit the Mac App Store this morning that took FCPX to version 10.0.1. That update is small in number (more on that in a bit) but rather big in features as there’s quite a lot that Apple has stuck into this first update to FCPX. Chief among those things is XML support that introduces a new FCPX specific flavor of XML. Second would be Roles, a new way to tag and label clips that looks to be one of those FCPX think different ideas that has real potential. And even more. more »

You may move your Get license to Boris SoundbiteCurrent Get phonetic search tool users will be able to crossgrade their license I missed this bit of news concerning the now defunct Get phonetic dialog search tool from AVC Software. Any current owners of Get will be able to get a free crossgrade upon the release of Boris Soundbite. Soundbite is the future of the phonetic dialog searching technology that came to market after NAB. We love this technology a lot so it’s nice to see this crossgrade happening for those current Get users. more »

LIGHTING: Advanced Cucoloris Use Illustrated by a Solar Eclipse
Q: What happens when you stack several pattern-making devices in front of a light? A: Extreme lighting goodness. Learn why here…
I love stacking cucolorii (plural of “cucoloris”) and I thought it was time to write an article about how this technique works and why I like it so much. I was a bit stretched for ideas that would illustrate this concept… and then an eclipse happened. Why that made a difference is a very interesting story…
