Likewise!
AI Preferences?
I'd love to open up that good ole' conversation about AI stuff. Preface: I hate AI because of data centers and I feel like we're gonna see a lot of crap because lazy people will have more of a voice. Also...great creative people will have a useful tool too, so it's a double edge sword. I'd like to be on the creative/artistic/hard working side of that edge, so with that interest in mind, what are your current most useful tools to use in our field? Personally I've been having a lot of success using Perplexity.ai for a Youtube channel. I can quickly make silly animations where it doesn't matter if it's perfect or not. (I attached a random one trying to describe someone trying to cook a "turduckensquaqua...") It's also good at making cartoon images of people. I'd love to get a better sense of successful use cases for AI you all have been using. I've personally found things like Sora and Midjourney not great...but maybe others have found good uses. Any great storyboarding platforms out there? (I know Lumarka is on it's way but curious about others too.)

@Lawrence Jordan Thanks for the tip on that book! Also will check out the community.
Welcome New Members!
We've got some new members to the community and I'd be great if you'd all introduce yourselves. Let us know what brought you to Master The Workflow and tell us how you came to editing in general. Also, for those who've been around for a while, let's hear what the big challenges you're facing? Is there anything in the course you're finding particularly difficult to grasp? Let's get a conversation going. --Larry

@Corey Frost Totally. I feel that never in the history of post production has there been more that's necessary to learn all at once. It's so helpful to have a community that's not part of the distraction that is social media. While this course focusses on feature scripted filmmaking, I feel like this community will be invaluable to editors/AEs in all genres.

@Ariel Berman Welcome Ariel! One thing you'll notice that's different from the world of Avid vs Premiere, is that for everything in Premiere there's a great "how to" Youtube video made by someone. Avid comes out of the box as a bit more of a mystery. I compare the two like a Lamborghini (Premiere) vs an F1 car (Avid.) Anyone can step into a Lambo and drive it. Not so with F1. It needs to be understood and customized and then it can drive really fast. Take your time to setup every bit of minutia in your settings to the most elegant level. Think about every shortcut on your keys, how often you will use it, and how easy it should be to press based on that. Your keyboard could easily evolve over many years. Think about your interface/s. Think about exactly what windows you want up when editing vs detailed sound work. Think about multiple timeline views. Think about having different interfaces or keyboards for AE work vs Editing (or perhaps different settings entirely.) This whole process will take lots of time and feel like starting out slow. But every time you think of any shortcut, stop what your doing and implement it. That's the best advice I have.
Transition to scripted
Hey all. I've got a pretty common generic question that I'm sure we've heard plenty of times before. Does anyone have any stories to share about how they transitioned from unscripted to scripted? I'm one of the unscripted editors that finds themself mostly watching an enjoying scripted content. So I often question if I'm in the right genre, but it also keeps paying the bills. Curious what that path looks like. Do you have to sit in the AE chair? Do you have to take some indy/low budget gigs? And if so, how do you determine that said gig will be worth the effort put forth before signing on? How do you go about finding an avenue for either path? Any thoughts and advice are most welcome!
Got a relinking question
I just jumped back onto the latest version of Avid bringing back a project from many years ago on version 2018. For whatever reason there's a camera that's used over 70 episodes of interviews which will not relink. I originally cut all this so I know it worked before, it's the same file. Curious if it's because I'm on an updated version of Avid. Has anyone ever experienced linking to AMA problems like this? If so are there possible workarounds other than manually recutting the whole angle in?

So sorry for the late response. I'm looking forward to being more engaged in this community now that I've delete Meta apps :) Yes I received a replay from Richard on the facebook group which solved it. There was a selection on the relink screen that I had missed.
