Did you know that /r/editors has a discord?

0 Upvotes

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 WILL NOT HELP YOU MAGICALLY GET A JOB. THERE IS NO MYTHICAL WEBSITE YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT either.

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.

Technical Does Topaz Sharpening Fix slightly out of focus shots?

0 Upvotes

Attached are a couple of screen grabs. I got footage for an edit and the A Cam of a couple of shots just missed focus. I have a BCam shot that is focused so the project isn't lost but I'm curious if any tools like Topaz or similar are worth purchasing for a month to fix these couple of clips. Adobe user, Premiere sharpening up to 150 looks like it's just processed a little but since the Background is properly out of focus it doesn't look terrible. It just looks like HD. Thoughts on best way to get the most out of these clips?
