I’m a seasoned problem-solver with a lot of opinions about the way we work in the entertainment industry. With 15 years of award-winning experience in media, and hundreds of television and film credits, I want to use my well-honed sense of user empathy and my well-earned technical knowledge to bridge the gap between creative and technology.

Today, I was checking on some video analytics for a client’s YouTube account. I manage the postings for the account, and use the data to develop stronger videos as time goes on. YouTube recently redesigned their analytics dashboard (again), and one of the changes was the addition of “Audience Retention.” This feature kind of existed […]
I upgraded to Adobe Master Collection CS6 yesterday and thought I’d share a few thoughts and tips I’ve gathered so far. And I’m aware of how cheesy this post’s title is, it’s ok. Eventually the Queen references will die, no thanks to me. I’m sorry.
This year was my first NAB Show, so I spent a week in Vegas this April attending Post Production World. I was asked to write a recap from the perspective of a newcomer for Creative COW. You can read it here. I’ve happily gotten a lot of great feedback from it. Hopefully it doesn’t make […]
The Internet is on fire and Twitter is a-buzz with word that Jesus is coming back, and this time he’s a new version of Autodesk’s Smoke. The new life-changing software will be revealed this Sunday at a private-ish event at a production facility just off the strip in Las Vegas with frickin’ Alfonso Cuaron in […]
There are aspects of Compressor I don’t take full advantage of, and until recently one of them was job-chaining. Job-chaining is probably something that isn’t used a whole lot but becomes extremely handy in certain workflows. I’m sure there are plenty of use cases, so I’ll explain mine and allow you to draw your own […]
On Twitter recently, I’ve noticed an influx of editors lamenting their physical state. It’s true that many of us are amorphous blobs. Consider how much we move around compared to other people. Sure, there are office workers across the country filled with drones who happily sit at their desks in a sedentary lifestyle. But guess […]
Here is my attempt to organize all the NAB 2012 parties that people might be interested in. This includes free afterparties, paid events, and meet ups. If you have something to add or update, please let me know so I can correct or add to the post. Saturday Vegas StrEats (food truck event, downtown Vegas) […]

Or, why I’m team #steveavid. Or, why I’m kind of weird about using Premiere. I started nonlinear editing when I was about 13 or 14. At that time, I had a Sony handicam that recorded to Hi8 tape. For a time, I used the software that came with my camera, MGI Videowave. Before long, I […]
As I expected, they’re not over-the-top raving reviews. With this being a horror collective, the people that are keen enough to review such things want true horror. From the reviews so far, it seems that the other ladies that produced for this collective went down the same path as we did, choosing to be a […]
