This editor didn't really talk about the process at all. All he said was basically, we gave footage to other people and we got other shots that we needed back from VFX people. He talked way to much about how he works, and used way to much industry lingo, that not even google knew what it meant! All these videos seem to have way too much "assumed" knowledge that someone trying to learn how to better create a feature film sequence simply can't follow.

The VFX department did an excellent job and so did you, Sir. Couldn't really tell what was real and what was fake and even more importantly: This movie really dragged one in like no other movie that's been done before. It's so perfectly edited and pleasing to the eye.

This looks so overwhelming but the principles of staying organised and splitting everything up into manageable chunks, you can tell really helped out

@@saughatbg7489 You can certainly do high level work on DaVinci Resolve, especially when it comes to effects and color grading. A few of the reasons why Avid Media Composer is predominantly used on feature films like Top Gun: Maverick is Avid's project/media sharing model. Large films require multiple people working in picture editorial, vfx editing, as well as sound to collaborate together, often in parallel. Avid has a model that has been proven over time. There is also, arguably, a higher degree of precision in the editing tools within Media Composer; specifically with the trimming tools. But everyone has their own preferences and opinions. Whatever you choose, tell a great story!

Phenomenal work! I want to ask, what are the advantages of using Avid Media Composer for large-scale production? Is it because you can collaborate on the film simultaneously with a team? Why not work in Premiere, for example? As I'm a freelance video editor, I'm curious about this.

How to get a screenshot of such high resolution? Thanks.

How hard is it to insert new shots in between clips? Do you lock in certain tracks? You ever use other software to edit? i.e. Premiere? I assume video clips are linked to their respective audio clips? This feels like a nightmare to keep track of! lol

When does the color grading process come into place?

Great info about the timeline! I have to say that there were a lot of stuff on those VFX tracks for a "no-CGI" movie 😉

I have no idea what you're referring to, with a no-CGI movie. But VFX and CGI is not the same thing. All CGI is VFX, but VFX can be many things, and VFX doesn't equal CGI. For that matter, a color grading can be concidered VFX, like filming a scene in daylight, and color grading it to look like a night scene.

@MikkoRantalainen

8 ай бұрын

@@akyhne Great points! I meant modifications that affect the content of the movie instead just color grading, gamma or contrast. Something like marketing pretending "we only used practical effects" for Top Gun or other modern action movies is simply lying in my books. Yes, Top Gun did shoot all scenes practical but the planes you can see in the actual movie are 99% computer generated.

@akyhne

8 ай бұрын

@@MikkoRantalainen The plane he flew in the beginning of the movie, was definitely CGI. All movies today uses a lor of VFX, like sky replacement, digitally painting out objects, green screening, using mini models for blowing up stuff, parallax camera work, and even matte painting. But it's far from all movies, that uses CGI. Sometimes it's just better and cheaper, to use old school VFX tricks. Personally I don't care what kind of VFX they are using, as long as it looks convincing. VFX goes back to the dawn of movie making, and is here to stay.

Hmmm, so basically, you keep every version of every asset/shot available on the timeline so you can go back to any earlier revision if needed without having to search through the bins and reinsert it. Smart.

How do you keep track of the transition points from reel to reel? like if you make a change in the end of say reel 1 but someone else is working on reel 2 and they make a change at the beginning portion.. how does everybody keep track of the shots so they line up and don't look jump cut or incoherent.. hope my question makes sense! thanks

@The_Rough_Cut

8 ай бұрын

Ravi, this is why on feature films you have an assistant editing crew as well as a VFX editor and assistant VFX editors. Keeping track of changes is a big job on even smaller projects. That said, if there's just one editor on the project, the changes that would be made to a sequence/reel that the editor wasn't actively working on would primarily be with creating temp sound/visual fx, or replacing existing temp with updated versions from the sound and VFX teams. It wouldn't be changes to the story itself. If there are multiple picture editors, they meet regularly to share their cuts and discuss changes that have been made. I hope that answers your question.

Meanwhile me editing in resolve: and here's where i put my little title card and side swipe transition :)

Kevin, Adam already took care of your second question. As far as the first one goes, it's a little tough to say for films that were produced while pandemic-related lockdowns were happening. Eddie might give the exact time in the podcast interview with him (also here on the channel), but postproduction on a film of this size generally ranges anywhere from 6-12 months. Again, a number of factors can have an effect on that. Thanks for checking out the video! Another one with Eddie on Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Pt1 is coming soon!

From what I know, final color grading, as the name implies, happens after picture editing (outside of the Avid) in systems like Resolve, FilmLight and Mistika. The flattened graded file is sent back to picture editorial and dropped into the timeline on a track near or at the top. That doesn't mean there aren't color grading passes done in the Avid during editing. During reviews and screenings, a "temp" color grade is often done inside Media Composer.

Wow!

In Media Composer there are things like sync locks, "add edits" across all tracks and asymmetrical trimming that editors use, among others, to maintain sync.
