Creating Post-Production Workflow Efficiencies with the Avid NEXIS | PRO
By Jim Bask
The benefits of embracing shared storage
What’s the most inefficient part of your workflow?
It’s a big question with answers that can range from the very simple to the exceedingly complicated. Everything from render times to client feedback to transcoding logistics can impact how quickly or slowly a project is able to get through a post-production workflow. These elements plus countless others can have a major effect on the deliverable and overall production schedule.
The Edit is Brighton’s longest established full post production facility and the team are celebrating their tenth birthday this year. They work with acclaimed directors on a diverse range of projects, from prime time TV programs and commercials, to worldwide cinema releases. Dave Austin, founder of The Edit, brings over 20 years of broadcast experience to the company. After training at the BBC, he went freelance at the age of 23 and set up the company in 2006.
Not everyone likes meetings, but getting a bunch of people together in a room with a whiteboard is an almost unbeatably effective way to share information. Everyone sees data and ideas at the same time, and there’s instant feedback. So why don’t more editors do it?
