Your browser blocked the player's tracking script, so watch time can't be credited here. Use the demo skip below.
Films are made and owned by the channels named, and play from YouTube. Inclusion here is not an endorsement either way.
In the edit
- Transcripts of every take, so the assistant editor and editor can search by what was said.
- Search by what's in the picture: find every shot of a door or a car.
- Syncing and organising bins. The editor still makes every cut.
In sound and VFX
- Sound: separating voices from noise and cleaning dialogue. The dialogue editor and mixer check every line.
- VFX: masks that follow a person, first-pass roto, removing objects. The compositor and VFX supervisor check every frame.
On set and in the office
- Logging and metadata, script breakdown drafts, previs frames.
- Whatever the tool, the person in that grade signs it off.

Moving on doesn't complete a lesson. A lesson is complete when the films are watched, the check is passed and the task is marked Met.
