Everyone’s always saying “Jared, I simply don’t have enough podcasts to listen to.” Well, fret no more. Here’s a great hour of Every Frame Counts talk with Matt Feury on The Rough Cut! #PostChat #PostSky

Thanks to Matt for having me on, and thanks to everyone who’s been listening and reading. Super cool to see the book out in the world and very rewarding to know that it’s a helpful resource!

Whoa! Jack Brown aka “The Avid Assistant” on YouTube reviewed my book, Every Frame Counts. He talks about what the book is, and just as importantly, what the book is *not*. If you’re on the fence, check out his review! #PostChat #PostSky

Unfortunately “Every Frame Counts” does *not* cover codecs like 1.2 Yums, Tizz 5D, or Horngut 222… apologies, @alanresnick.bsky.social. Other codecs and naming conventions are outlined in the Turnovers chapter though. Here’s a screenshot of how I organize my DNxHR SQ media onto Nexis workspaces.

In all seriousness, David Kong’s video from (gasp!) nearly a decade ago is still my go-to recommendation for those wanting to learn about codecs and containers.

Comedy is so important to me, and I cherish my short stint at UCB. I honestly I think Alan made this video for me and me alone, and everyone else is just allowed to watch it: #PostChat #PostSky

Wondering how some editors like their scene bins laid out? Here’s an example illustration from Every Frame Counts. #PostChat #PostSky

Hi! I wrote a book about being a First Assistant Editor. It's called "Every Frame Counts: An Assistant Editor's Reference Book" and it's being published by Routledge on April 2nd. Written BY an assistant FOR assistants. #PostChat #PostSky

I'm excited to share this with everyone and if you like it please tell a friend! More to come as we get closer to the release date. Happy to field any questions in the meantime.

I talk a lot about @avidmediacomposer.bsky.social but it's a mix of technical and holistic tips, tricks and notes. Not a definitive guide, more so insight into the mind and workflow of a First Assistant Editor in a scripted environment.
