The Concise Assistant Editor's Guide
Created by 1st Assistant Editor Benji Stinson (Reservation Dogs, The Kominsky Method, Next Goal Wins), The Concise AE Guide (CAEG from here!) is a valuable resource for any assistant editor working in scripted TV and film.
What is it? A comprehensive bundle of training, assistant tools and a clear step-by-step checklist for each task an assistant editor might encounter.
The guide walks through each stage of Post, from prep to final delivery.
While the short text summary for each task provides a concise checklist to follow, this is supported by detailed video tutorials that will guide you through the job to be done.
This is great for both pros (the checklist) and young guns (the tutorials) as it makes the CAEG a worthwhile investment for either career stage.
The tools include
- Google Sheets VFX tracker with custom functionality
- Spreadsheet to autogenerate VFX IDs for Avid markers
- Avid Project Templates
- Continuity templates
- Wall cards template
- Scene Timing Generator
- Export Settings
