Criticism and your profession

[Jocephus]

My boss thought I could create a 6 38 minute videos in 5 days.

Oh yeah. I've been there. Especially back when you had to capture video.

What do you use to edit? Feel free to PM answer if you don't want to derail the thread.

I used (Sony) Vegas Video and their DVD Architect program for a really long time, and Premiere here and there over the years. Well now I have the Adobe CC and it does not come with Encore....the media encoder has tons of options, but none are "burn to DVD" like Encore and Sony's DVD architect.

When I was doing a lot of semi-pro-level editing, I used Premiere, After Effects and worked occasionally with Vegas. I don't contract for video editing anymore, so I haven't bought the newer Adobe products. I've actually gone to a stripped down version of Vegas called Sony Movie Studio Platinum. It really does everything I need. It's processor heavy, so rendering can be a problem, but I can use my old version of After Effects for heavy compositing. You can get DVD Architect with that, but I don't think I have it. I guess if I needed to burn a video DVD I would use an old version of Adobe's Encore. Apparently, I haven't burned a video DVD in years

I am shocked that there is semi-pro editors.

I'm a graphic designer by trade. And as much as damn near any profession out there, everyone's a goddamned critic.

Be lucky you don't work in the hospitality industry, especially the restaurant side.

There's that old Rocky Bridges quote. “Well, there are three things that the average man thinks he can do better than anybody else. Build a fire, run a hotel and manage a baseball team.”

I could never do what you do, JL. I don't have that creative organization part of my brain that you demonstrate really well with the work of yours that I've seen. But I sure can [expletive] about how a baseball team is run.

Yeah, absolutely. I'd guess that those jobs get it worse than everyone.

That's what I thought until I left the restaurant industry to work on an ambulance where I was spit on, cursed at, swung on, screamed at, threatened with violence, and asked "why does it takes so long to get an ambulance?" "well, ma'am, it's because we are wasting our time running stupid calls like this one" etc

Hospital food sucks. Sorry thirds but it does.

Hospital food sucks. Sorry thirds but it does.

Agreed, though I'm not sure it qualifies as 'hospitality' or 'restaurant'. More or less a high school cafeteria, with the awkwardness less teen-angst-driven.

Also, no rectangular pizza.

Casinos are far worse than restaurants. Same [expletive] customers, but way more drunk and they can stay your entire shift if they want. Oh, and management won't have your back at all.
