NAB 2025
So, we all go to Vegas to talk/learn and discuss the edge of technology around production/post-production.
Yes, you can totally discuss how I can help your group - think of it as therapy for post-production. Work smarter, faster, and with less pain.
In other words: I help you see your blind spots.
Here are the sessions I spoke at:
Exploring OpenAI’s Sora & RunwayML
Focusing on the Future: Making Decisions for the Next Calendar Year Speaker "Ask-Me-Anything"
What AI Can and CAN'T Do for You
Birds Of A Feather-Editors: The Crystal Ball: Speculating on the Future
The Business Skills I Wish I Had Learning Early in My Editing Career

NAB 2024 - Vegas, AI and you
NAB is always blast - but getting notes up while remote? Exhausting. 😄
More later, but…

Remote Production Conference
Remote Production Conference
Feb 2022
Everyone is remote in some ways nowadays. This conference is your key from pre-production through post.
This is the second time that this conference happened and I did two talks.
Guerrilla Guide to Remote editing
This is one form of editing with a partner remotely at a zero (or next to zero) cost.
Key consideration is how to build a proxy that is super crazy small and how to be organized so two or more people can work.
Bonus: Here’s the preset I built in Media Encoder.
Cloud/Blade Editorial State of the Union
While the Guerrilla Guide tries to be cheap, this is going to cost.
What’s the experience like (good, especially if you can get a system near your location - with a ping time of 60ms or under)
Who are the players? Yup, this talk covers that.
And if you want to be introduced to any of the groups (ex: Bebop, etc), let me know and I’m happy to introduce you.
Bonus
Here’s the Adobe Media Encoder preset that I built during the session
If you want help building a preset for any compression tool, just reach out.
Final Cut Pro Global Summit 2021
The Final Cut Pro Global Summit is always amazing…
and just as equally exhausting. Getting the event to be excellent across the board is rough.
But on the presentation side? It’s amazing. Here’s my talks.
Adobe Max 2021
Just some stuff you should probably have.
Max 2021 S556 Making Video Fit Every Platform Fast deck
Search Bins project mentioned in the talk.
Old, but still good:
Better Proxy Presets from 2016
Better Adobe Media Encoder presets from 2017
Adobe Max 2020
Delivering Videos for All Screen Formats the Easy Way
