I spend a lot of words here showing how to automate things so that editors can "set it and forget it". The reason for that is that there is nothing worse than having to wait around for an hour watching your computer work. Well, there sometimes isn’t any way to automate the "next step", but this will enable you to hit render, go home and then do the rest from home! Here’s how.

I've been with Quentin Tarantino since his very first movie and have edited every single thing he's done since then.

Convert MP3 for Video Editing

Seems like we’re often being handed MP3 files to use in our video projects. It might be a sound effect or an audio track we’ve got the rights to use. The problem is that the MP3 format is not very good for video editing (wrong sample rate... rarely works in real-time). Fortunately there’s an easy fix... iTunes. If you don’t have access to the original files, you should convert the compressed files to an AIFF file for use in a video editing or motion graphics tool.
