Yes - you read that right!

I was recently teaching editing techniques to a captive audience of university film students. To TRULY understand frame rates and the importance of valuing every frame, it was time to get back to basics. 

I arrived at the class armed with my Guillotine Splicer from many years ago, as well as a "BAG OF TIME". 

What is a bag of time? Simple - it was filled with 30 strips of 16mm film, which I had pre-cut to exactly 24 frames each. For those of you counting, that's :30 seconds of film in the bag. 

The instruction was simple: Cut this down to exactly 10 frames. 

It was an exercise to very directly show the "Avid +9 rule", where you are sitting on frame-1, and then you need to have a total of 10 frames. 

So, the question posed to the class was: "Do you move forward 9 frames or move forward 10?". 

CS Admin 200 Academy: Advanced Level

This year I leveled-up my CS Admin training with their full-day Pulse Live training. Intended for level 2 and above admins, this was a rigorous deep dive into problem solving as a top-tier Gainsight CS Admin. 

Well worth the cost of admission!

Post-sales professionals around the globe gathered in Las Vegas at the Gainsight keynote stage to hear from both leaders and customers.

We were served top-tier sessions with incredibly in-depth discussions. Highly educational, and the library of videos to sift through this year is immense.
