Editing Picture to Lock
Several screenings with mentors, faculty, and students gave everyone a chance to voice their opinions
and come to agreement. The project received several major changes after the edit was locked, but
everyone was in agreement that the changes were a signifi cant improvement. Fortunately, the
“problem” was great coverage. There were so many ways to edit the fi lm that several good edits
were always available.
Lost Hope and More was edited in several video tracks and needed to be shuffl ed into V1 only so
that fi lm cut lists could be exported. Several double uses turned up the fi rst time this was done, but
these were easily reedited to solve the problem.
Much of what is done in the initial phases of the workfl ow are intended to make the actual edit as
smooth and trouble free as possible to insure the best possible, creative edit. It is also increases speed
and accuracy, important when large amounts of money are being spent. Start the edit workfl ow as
soon as the dailies are sunc, and try to end additions and changes once the edit is locked.
