This alternates Sundays with our "Reel Review."

## Would you like feedback on your reel? This is the place to do it!

​

**An essential point to remember**: A reel won't secure you a job any more than a business card or website will. While it might be necessary, it is not the primary means of obtaining work.

​

**You gain employment through a network you develop,** not via any online job site. Building a network takes time, which is advantageous, as it allows you to learn the field.

​

## Rules

​

* **Rule 1**: Submit your reel *and its running time* as a top-level comment (meaning you reply to this post directly)

* **Rule 2**: *Specify your professional experience in years* (paying taxes = years as a pro, novice).

* **Rule 3**: Explain the reason/direction behind posting your reel. Are you new? Have you been working with clients for a decade? Give us clear direction of what you want.

* **Rule 4**: You must review two other reels. **TWO**. You have five days to complete this task, responding to two different reels. **Then** edit the comment where you post your reel: and put and put the two user names.

​

**Acceptable platforms for posting**: Your Vimeo site or an unlisted YouTube link. If we discover a link to a channel or a video with 10k views, be aware that this thread is not intended for such content.

​

The moderation team will be monitoring this, and we are trying to encourage the community (that's you) to offer assistance. That's why providing two reviews is crucial.

​

Lastly, as someone who evaluates people's reels: If numerous motion graphics are present, I expect you to either be capable of creating them and/or offering it as a service. If color grading is a skill and you transition from Log to finished grade, that's a definite red flag.

TL: DR - How do I get you (yes, you) involved?

Obligatory mention. Here's the link of the official Discord of r/editors with 1,000 members, including a number of professionals cutting films, tv shows and more.

It's for both professionals and aspiring professionals.

It requires verification (any of these will work: (Reddit/youtube/facebook/IG/Github/spotify/Steam/xbox).

Again: Discord Link here

Once you verify there are 15+ channels, including ones based on:

• Type of work (color, sound, audio)
• Software specific (Adobe, Apple, Avid, BMD)
• Quality of life (Show off your work, scream room, live tech help)
• and more.

What I'm trying to do? Get an engaged community outside of Reddit. I'm trying to figure out what works and what doesn't.

• It could be a Friday Lunch
• a virtual happy hour
• a game night 2x a month
• a virtual User Group event…

…but I'd like to know what you've seen that's engaging…and that gets you interacting with Discord

To me: Reddit is great for threaded conversations, Discord is great for live interactions.

(by the way, my biggest Discord tip is to mute a new server right away. That really helps notifications from becoming overwhelming.)

And yes, I'm happy to help anyone who feels that this is a new/strange domain or feels lost there. I go all the way back to IRC days.

We love the excitement around the new beta

But, It's killing the conversation here, though.

It had becomes "Why isn't this working?" and "Why isn't that working?"

To consolidate all that, we're going to put it in this mega thread. One per beta release.

Think of it as a resource, as the most common questions will show up here for those of you who want to be the canary in the coal mine.

If you post somewhere outside of it and it gets removed, this is where it's meant to go. This is your place to post, and we will all be checking in here at least once a day

Prior thread

It was a podcast starting all the way back in 2012 - and I got a chance to meet the host (Chris Fenwick) at the first or second Final Cut Pro Summit (in Cupertino) in that year.

Chris just messaged me that the FCP Grill has come back both as a podcast and a YouTube channel.

He's asking tough questions that Cupertino should be listening to.

He does some great interviews - starting with more of a rant of an episode reminding John Ternus to remember that Apple (and Final Cut) should be really about remembering to change the world and not just chase profit for their investors.

I'm looking at a bunch of Devit bots for moderation. Hey, yay, they exist. I'm often seeing two or more sets of overlapping functionality.

The things that I think we need:

1. We need to know the date of the last update. If I notice that a certain bot hasn't been updated in six months, I'm less likely to install it if one was updated last week.
2. Let subreddits opt in that they're using that bot so we as moderators can go and ask the subreddit how it's working out for them.

We've seen an uptick in people gatekeeping in this community, often being not decent humans.

One of the easiest things you can do is to report somebody's post or comment if it breaks one of our rules, especially around "Don't be a Jerk"

>It's totally fine to disagree. Do so politely. Behave as an adult. Name calling, doxing etc is not okay here. Try not to be caustic. Life is hard enough.

>Treat everyone "as if" they're having a bad day and you'll be fine. Disagree if you like - just don't be disagreeable. Remember there's a human being on the other side of the keyboard

Any time we get a number of flagged items, it automatically gets pulled, and a moderator manually removes it.

Thank you for your attention to this community service note.

We return you to your regularly scheduled program.

Could be straight claude code. Might be a tool like Hermes agent.

I do not want my account banned. I do want to make sure whatever I build is accessing reddit the right way.

What's the path forward? A registered new "bot" account? The API? Devvit?

Help a mod out. Thanks.

We had over a hundred people at our first-ever Reddit NAB meetup.

This meetup was made possible by Eddie AI and DigitalGlue, powered by creative.space.

Additionally sponsored by PlugnPlay and BlackMagicDesign

We're talking about organizing more of these around other events such as Post-Production World New York and IBC.

We're open to other ideas, specifically around LA, New York, London, and other cities where the two circles of people in the industry and Reddit overlap.

Thanks for coming and making it possible. If you were at NAB and didn't make it, hopefully you will next time!

If you have photos from the event, we'd love to add them to this thread!
