A great introduction to the role of a VFX editor and VFX tasks.
Introducing DaVinci Resolve 17
Blackmagic Design finally introduced DaVinci Resolve 17, with a slew of new features that surpassed my expectations. MixingLight has a good summary of initial impressions and favorites, if you don’t have time to watch the full presentation video from Blackmagic Design.
Darren Mostyn dropped 3(!) videos covering new features.
In order to support the burgeoning editing capabilities of DaVinci Resolve, Blackmagic Design made brand new keyboard called Speed Editor. It’s pricey at nearly $300, but with the DaVinci Resolve license included, it’s a steal.
Color Warper is one of the most exciting new feature and I suspect there will be interesting looks coming to the scene very soon.
I won’t be downloading it yet since it just came out in BETA, but I can’t wait to use this program when it’s solid.

As much as we editors claim that we can edit anything that was thrown at us, the producers feel and view very differently, unfortunately.
The whole interview is enlightening from a perspective of an animation editor who are a (lucky) few in the industry.
The series is getting a rave of reviews, including me and my friends. Check it out on Netflix.
Speech to Text & All-New Captions in Premiere Pro (BETA!)
Wow, this could’ve saved me hundreds of hours in the post production of BLACKPINK: Light Up the Sky.
Having a dedicated caption/subtitle track-separate from video and audio tracks, is great additional feature.
This will push many documentary and reality tv show post production to Premiere Pro.
