When "Fix It in Post" Becomes a Cry for Help | Indie Film & Film Editing Help
Mistakes were made. Many, many mistakes. And who better to discuss them than Chuck and Victoria, two indie filmmakers who have seen the abyss of bad editing choices and lived to tell the tale? This episode of Indie Film Podcast is all about the glorious disasters of post-production—the misplaced cuts, the continuity nightmares, the software suite letdowns, and the frantic Google searches for "film editing help."

Same.
Chuck and Victoria break down their most embarrassing indie film editing fails, share some wisdom (accidentally, we assure you), and rant about the struggles of working with Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and that one Final Cut update that sent Victoria into an existential crisis.
