Creating Dailies (Or Rushes) Outside of Avid Media Composer

Of all the items I’ve written about here, demystifying and simplifying the Avid Media Composer dailies process for DITs, Lab Technicians, and Assistant Editors seems to resonate the most. Here’s a step-by-step guide for doing so based on select pieces published here on my blog:

While I have your attention:

Today is November 12, 2024. I’ve had my #OpenToWork badge enabled on LinkedIn since May 2024. I’m about 45 days away from being unable to pay for anything – rent, food, utilities, etc.

If you’re a company who’s been observing me and you have a position in mind, please reach out. The larger your organization, the longer it will take to bring me on board.

If I’ve already applied to multiple positions at your company, it’s not that I lack focus or vision. The thing is: I’ve always worked for small companies and startups and, thus, always worn more than one hat. What I’m continually discovering is, depending on the size of the company, one of the hats I wore contains even more hats worn by only one person. Applying to multiple positions means I feel good either being an immediate contribution in that role or I can quickly learn what’s needed to be a valuable contributor in a reasonable amount of time.

I would love to continue helping creative teams work faster together from anywhere using their favorite apps and platforms. But I’m at the point where the family and I will have to take on part-time work in retail or shipping just to make ends meet. And for someone with my time, skillset, and experience, having four people deliver pizzas, work at the Home Depot, or drive an Amazon truck for $25 an hour makes no economic sense to me.

I know, “Movies don’t owe anybody a living,” but people still use technology, and the rift between those who make it and those who use it gets further and further away. I can help you bring those two groups together.
