Time Warner Cable Sports facility

One of the most interesting & rewarding workflow consulting gigs I have had to date was being brought in to train 70 editors at Time Warner Cable Sports (TWCS) in Los Angeles as they transitioned from Final Cut Pro 7 to Premiere Pro.
⁣
They create ALL of the on-air and web content for the Los Angeles Lakers, LA Dodgers and LA Galaxy. ⁣
⁣
They broadcast at least 5-8 shows per day and their editors work around the clock to hit deadlines.⁣
⁣
With each show using multiple camera formats & no time for transcodes, Premiere Pro was the logical progression in their post production workflow. ⁣
⁣
Every show is cut natively in HD & exported directly for broadcast. I was brought in to make the transition as seamless as possible. ⁣

There could be no downtime. They cannot miss a deliverable that is going on the air. ⁣
⁣
Premiere Pro is so flexible & very adaptable. However, if not set up properly from the get-go, stumbling blocks can arise which results in unnecessary time & budget being wasted.⁣
⁣
I am there to use technology to speed up a workflow vs. slow down a production during the learning process.⁣
⁣
Every production is different. Each person & project has different preferences & requirements. Workflow is not one & done. ⁣
⁣
My goal when consulting is to get fellow editors STORYTELLING as fast as possible & remove the challenges of technology. ⁣
⁣
Until next time…
