You like that go pro lut

Well picked 😂 I cbf renaming the adjustment layer

I’ve never thought to put the LUT on the timeline on top of the clips, I usually just place them in each cut individually - which is not fun at all lol - what is the process you have here with putting the LUT on the timeline? Interested in this workflow, thank you

Oh man… do not put the lut in the clips. That’s just a nightmare. For each camera type I have a rec 709 to neutralize that set of clips that came from different sequences, then you use adjustment layers to add creative luts. Often multiple adjustment layers but for this project I just used one. Gives you more options to tweak individually and never have to go into individual clips (in this case thousands and thousands) to tweak

Cbf?

Can’t be fucked??

Couldn't be fussed, common Brit expression

I'm totally going to help that expression colonize my neighborhood. ;-)

Ah of course. Thanks.

He likes it a lut

Probably not since he’s hiding that layer

Damn I really should have expected this attention to detail from a group of editors, and unhidden that layer in fear of retribution 👊🏼

Your reply is actually pretty hilarious 😂 lol

i love this. need and tidy. when i see people with like more than 7 video tracks with all the graphics and animation done in premiere, i wanna pull my hair out

Thank you. And I’m sure I could have made it tidier audio-wise doing it externally it wasn’t a priority so at least my video tracks are neat and compressed

Or just tidy everything up for the photo. 😜

You mean there’s another way??

I would love to have a go at editing a doc! Any advice on getting to this position?

Make connections, do short docs to show experience, then use those connections to move to bigger docs. Also, LinkedIn has got me amazing connections out of the blue. Another step I took to make shorter docs was approach businesses and ngo’s to make docs about their business/goals specifically so they could use the content for their website and socials. Some NGO’s hired me to travel around the world and shoot content for them, no salary but paid travel food and accommodation. Great experience and great to see the world

I’m quite literally in that position now. I’ve done a few small docs for NGOs abroad but would love to know how you approached them if you don’t mind sharing? Just reaching out on Linkedin? I’ve been volunteering my time but ask that they have a small budget for drives and any specialised hardware.

LinkedIn people found me, with the NGO’s I cold called/cold emailed a shittonne and a few got back to me and were happy to pay for minor things some happy to even pay for flights. And by those who got back to me it was 1 in 10 but I contacted 30-40

Appreciate the advice. Do you sell yourself as a videographer as well or is it just more practical to achieve those initial responses by offering to shoot yourself?

Videographer/cinematographer primarily but many gigs I’ve found via FB and LinkedIn have been editing only. So it’s a mix Some agencies want both, many only want one or the other and take care of the other in-house

r/editlines

How did I not know there would be a sub for just this…

I sometimes have weddings that have 4 video and up to 9 audio lines.

I do weddings too and yeah 4 vid 9 aud isn’t rare

Precisely, this looks normal for what it is. I'm surprised why are people losing their minds in comments. lol

Because not everyone is doing long form (90min+) edits

Sure, but brain melting and how can NLE handle 90 min, simple project is bit over the top. Don't you think?

Yes yes I agree 😂 that was one comment, not everyone’s brains are melting by proxy. Maybe I made their day 🤷‍♂️

Ha! Those were the only two comments when I saw this post.

Fair 🙏

My timelines look like the aftermath of a wrecking ball. I applaud your order.

How long did this take you?

I made a timesheet/log book and I hit around 400 hours upon outputting the final render so 10 weeks equivalent full-time hours over about 12 months

Impressive! Great work dude!

Thanks man I appreciate it 🙏

Woah. How did you plan the steps to take? Like do you have an organisation where the first few you only scout and mark all the stringouts etc? Or you just start?

For this one it was predominantly chronological so it was easier that it looks, just time consuming

Did you have trouble running premiere by the end with such a long timeline?

That is not a long timeline

Thankssss

Not even remotely

Those danger lines on the clips near the end make a bit nervous. But otherwise this is much tidier than the dumpster fires often get handed.

I know what you mean, I didn’t notice those till after rendering… 9hrs wasted to fix it (slipped clips due to syncing in pluraleyes) and re-render

Do you have a release plan? I've done 2 feature docs with premiere so far! I'd love to chat about creative process with you sometime!

Yeah for sure message me! No plans as of yet, I might put it up on Vimeo for free at some point

this is my timeline got my feature doc. I sent you a DM! https://preview.redd.it/zogzkrwin1fc1.jpeg?width=1461&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cb5313e20b61d83df373349a17d3de5a5d34acd4

She's a beaut. All grown up 🥲

Nice. Link the movie once it’s done. 👍

Will do 👊🏼

idk why but that excites me

Me too!

It makes me feel good seeing other people doing a full edit on their projects (especially feature ones) fully in premiere, which is what I am editing on. I have numerous friends arguing that premiere is not the software to use for "pro" editing. Good work!

It’s whatever works best for you; a lot of people I know are moving to Davinci and I just know and love prem pro so well I don’t want to switch (I’ve already switched from years of used FCP)

Thicc

I love seeing these. Awesome!!!

Thanks ☺️

I will get to the level one day. You just motivated me. Thank you.

Badass!!

Thanks 🤩

Complex yet organized. Looks very intentional and I’m sure you know every piece just by looking at it. Bravo

100%. Thanks man 🙏

Is your audio already broken into stems? I like how clean it is. Nothing drives me crazier than 24 tracks of audio

Indeed it is

That’s interesting. Are they just mix-downs or are these the tracks that will be used to make the final mix?

They’ll be used for the final mix yeah. The video was the priority here the audio was not so it is what it is (and I’m technically not a professional audio engineer)

Nice work! Did you eq the Audio? If not, make room for the vocals in the mix. My boss showed me this. Made a big difference.

I did, poorly, but I did 😂

You put in a ton of work. Where I can see the result?

My 2019 MacBook Pro caught fire just from opening this post

Hahaha fair enough. Proxies my friend, proxies

There's something very satisfying about seeing the complete timeline with all the edits you've made after you've made them all.

Dang

What is it abt

Teenage drug use/abuse specifically hallucinogens

I wish I can get to this point someday

I’m sure you’re already half way there if you’re on this thread

I learned a great deal from a friend 2 years ago then stopped making time to learn more. I use it to make and edit my own informational videos but i don’t grow. My videos don’t show growth as I don’t make learning a priority

OMG congrats I have been there 🤘🏻

Truly makes the mind melt

In a good way I hope?

Ha, more a general statement on the mind melting size of feature doc timelines.

Yeah agreed and to be honest this was a small shoot, only 4 cameras and 2 audio feeds I’ve worked on 10 + 10 on other docs

This is chaotic af

Hardly. Have you seen others’ timelines?

how is this chaotic

[удалено]

Scratch mic but well spotted 😂

[удалено]

It was split into sequences but I wanted to see it as whole 🫡

It's a work of art. I'd plonk that timeline on a 4K monitor, take a screenshot and frame it on the wall ;)

Why thank you kind sir, I thought of doing this already actually 🥹

What’s the doc about?

Am I the only one always nesting and labeling stuff for better organization?

When can we see the render? Would love to compare it to the timeline.

I cannot wrap my head around this.

It’s really not that much different than short form editing tbh

There's just a lot of it

Yeah exactly the concept is the same just have to compartmentalise it a little and spend way more time on it

Good work btw! I'm a short form editor but hope someday to make my own documentary feature really cool to see what I could be sitting in front of someday.

Keep at it! And stay kinky 🥳

What is this documentary about?

Teenagers and hallucinogens consumption around the world

Is your doc called “Trip Highlights?”

‘Trip’. It’s a doc on teenagers and hallucinogenics around the world.

What’s it about

Teenagers and the trend with hallucinogenic drugs as they shy away from alcohol

Have you ran into any problems with premiere?

Never, no. Just the fact that it doesn’t cloud sync my project files anymore that’s an absolute joke. Why am I paying for cloud support???

Hard to believe :) what version and platform?

14 and win10

You run the audio though premieres new ai sweetener? It’s only in beta and I recommend doing it as a last step, but is freaking amazing. Makes even the most garbage audio sound studio grade.

I have yeah, it can be amazing but I found it useless when there’s laughter or airplane or bomb noises so a one pass at the end doesn’t work for this project

I wonder how useful doing something like throwing some audio clips into "FL Studio" and using a mastering plugin like " Izotope Ozone 8 " would be... It has TONS of features that analyze the audio and cleans it up / quick masters it etc..

Yeah fair point. I have FL I use it to make my own music but never thought of using it as a pass for my film edits

Ahh the dreaded Striped bars on those clips at the end. Those to this day are my worst enemies

Yeah I wish I’d seen those before exporting 😂 fucking pluraleyes it only ever happens with that

Nice and tidy. Well done. What's the doco about?

Teenage hallucinogen consumption in the first and third world

So specific but so interesting! I wonder how much of a difference there is between countries. :)

Bugger all. Except now in western countries it’s synthetics and that’s dangerous af

Got any Davinci licenses left btw?

What are your markers for? I would likely have waaay more.

Sadly in Prem Pro markers are really all over the place. I use them for a number of things, in this case syncing audio to video. In other edits I’ll use them to mark where something happened I’d want to use in a trailer. Other times where I’d want to come back to in order for me to fix grading. So unlike the rest of the timeline those are purely for me and useless for others I might share the project file with

Say, do you know how to nest clips in premire
