Subject: [Avid-L2] OT: Making up zooms in post WHY Boneheads shouldn't edit
I've posted it before but I just need to another time for my sanity, or lack there of. If the camera guys didn't shoot a zooming shot then you don't have a zoom to use. Especially in overly compressed SD footage that's ringing already adding the oh so creative push in turns bad pixels into well a , um, ah, WORSE than bad pixels. For those that like to add pushes carry on and just hope I'm not doing you online because , "If it doesn't absolutely, positively have to have a zoom added I'm going to rip the effect off after saving it to my special Bonehead Bin and then I'm going to print out the bin and stomp on the paper before marching it into your offline bay to tear it up right in your face. You know some times I do let them go through but today was not that day. Counting to ten and calling my sponsor now. Maybe it's time for a little anger management refresher. ;-)
