Ok dumb question alert. What does it take to “conform” the work of a colorist. I know it’s normally in Flame, but if it’s conform only - can it be done in Premiere or After Effects?

Conform is removing all effects, transitions, animation, etc - and moving all edits/clips to one track. The editing timeline is then just a string of video clips which allows for a clean XML/EDL to be read by the colorist’s software. Colorist then does their work and outputs their shots. Then the editor/AE must go through and add back in all the effects, transitions, animations, etc...So yes it can be done many ways outside of flame.

Conform is the final step of bringing online colored and vfx footage back into your output software. Often if you are finishing in flame or resolve, vfx or color can all happen at the same time as making master exports, but it doesn’t need to. I conform in premiere every day.

Sometimes you’ve paid your colorist and paid your vfx artist and now you’re paying a very high post house rate to pay the original assistant editor to basically import the finished footage and then export. Watch that.

On a 30 second spot it takes roughly 15 minutes to conform a spot. On a feature documentary conform might take 2-5 straight days of work.

It can actually be fairly complicated if you have to rebuild variable speed changes etc. I wouldn’t rely on it only taking 15 minutes unless it’s a very straightforward edit.

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?

Hi Editors!
What did your transition from AE to editor look like?

5 months ago I joined an advertising post house as a full-time AE. Through the support of a lead editor at the company I found my way into making cuts for the company’s most prestigious client. At this point, I’ve been the sole editor of one global campaign and a co-editor of another, in addition to cutting many social media videos. It’s only 5 months but I can’t help feel that my title doesn’t reflect the work I actually do.

I’m new to freelancing, at a senior level and in NYC. Can anyone give me a range of what day rate would be appropriate to charge? Thank you!!

I’m so glad this bowl finally exists.
