Remote Joint Vidding Questions
It's a big bold Internet - global borders are shrinking. So how do you jointly vid when vidders are far apart geographically?
Issue 1: Technical. How to share project files when you have the same software. Ex. Final Cut Pro. Adobe Premiere.
Issue 2: Technical: What if you don't have the same video editing software. Or one of you has no software? Should you have one person control the project file (think of a master word document - Vidder A proposes changes in a draft word document and Vidder B types them into the master.) These proposed changes could be offered in an phone call, e-mail or even in a mock-up video file using a different software program.
Issue 3: Conceptual: How to communicate changes? In person or e-mail? Which is best?
Issue 4: Conceptual: How to identify the clips you want and the edits you want ("use that clip where his hand goes up for the gun and his partner's face turns pale. Then cut out right afterwards to a new clip where the woman is running down the hall. Have that cut happen on the third beat.")
Issue 5: Conceptual: Dependent/Dynamic Changes. How to handle the fact that some changes are dynamic. Ex. You send an e-mail with 20 proposed changes. One of those changes results in the following: If you move Clip A to the next stanza where you already have Clip B, you have to decide what to do with Clip B. Replace or shift. If you shift Clip B down -this in turn will change the rest of the clips in the stanza.
Issue 6: Conceptual: Tracking Rounds of Edits. Back to the 20 changes you send. Each change can result in more changes. How not to get lost in the maze of edits.
Issue 7: Any other suggestions? Tips?
PS. This could also be a panel idea - but note, due to health reasons, I cannot volunteer for it. So feel free to grab this idea and run with it.
In the meantime, any and all tips appreciated.
