New Blog for Assistant Editors
A new blog for assistant editors is at Post
Production Standards. It looks to be a good place for standardizing
editorial practices and sharing ideas. And its not just for assistants.
The LA Film School sponsored a seminar on editing
in early 2007, hosted by Joe Byron. The panel included editors Stuart
Bass, A.C.E., Tchavdar Georgiev, and Stephen Rivkin, A.C.E. along
with assistant editors Andrew Charlton, Meagan Keane, and Alan McCurdy.
It was moderated by Harry Miller, A.C.E.. Click
here to view part one of this four part series. Topics include
how each got into the film business, collaboration in the edit suite,
creativity and the use of technology, and finally a Q&A with
the students. The series is posted on the web site Digital
Content Producer, from the publishers Millimeter magazine.

Avid Tips and Tricks
Frame Rate Conversion
There are times in a production when the footage only exists in
one format and the user needs to use it in another. A common example
of that is a 24p project being handed an establishing shot that

and 24 frames per second. Read
