I just jumped back onto the latest version of Avid bringing back a project from many years ago on version 2018. For whatever reason there's a camera that's used over 70 episodes of interviews which will not relink. I originally cut all this so I know it worked before, it's the same file. Curious if it's because I'm on an updated version of Avid. Has anyone ever experienced linking to AMA problems like this? If so are there possible workarounds other than manually recutting the whole angle in?

Hello all, I’m Edward Tabacchi and I’m an aspiring Scripted TV Assistant Editor currently working in Reality TV. Like everyone, I’ve been riding the waves of Anxiety and fear during these turbulent times while charting a path forward through all this chaos. I enrolled in the program in 2019 and was working to try to make the jump to the Scripted in 2020 only to have to world shut down while my personal life fell apart and of course as I commit to make the jump again this year the whole world goes up in flames (maybe it’s a sign 🤣). I’m currently working on expanding my network trying to build relationships with Editors and Assistant Editors on the kind of shows that I’m obsessed with like Avatar, Dune, Monarch and all the Star Wars shows. Would love to be able to work on the Warhammer show that Henry Cavell is developing with Amazon since I’m absolutely OBSESSED with Warhammer.

Looking for some advice on cut confidence checkers! I’ve used the "vertical blinds" effect in the effect palette for conform checks, but I need a workflow to verify that subtle speed effects and split-screen effects are accurate. What are people's favourite Avid-based hacks?

Hey everyone, We’re excited to share that we’re transitioning the Master The Workflow community to a new platform — Skool. For those unfamiliar, Skool is a growing hub of online communities covering just about every subject under the sun — from filmmaking and editing to productivity, coding, and more. Some groups are free, others are paid, and all of them are designed to bring people together around a shared passion. Our Feature Film Assistant Editor community will remain a paid platform, just like always. That means only paid students will have access to the course materials — nothing changes there. But this new space will allow us to build something more connected and collaborative. Think of this as your clubhouse. You can start new conversations, ask questions, share wins (and challenges), or just hang out with others walking the same path. And while our private Facebook group is still live and active — and will stay that way for now — we’re hoping this Skool community becomes a real gathering place where we can all interact more deeply and get to know each other better. We’d love to kick things off by getting to know YOU: 🎥 What are you currently working on? 🖥️ Where do you work from — on set, in post, at home? 📸 Show us your workstation (we're nerds for gear setups). 💬 Or just say hi and tell us what drew you to this career path. This is your space to connect, share, learn, and grow — not just as assistant editors or editors, but as filmmakers, creatives, and human beings. ⚠️ A quick note: Right now, this is not a private group. That means others can view the community, but only those who’ve purchased our courses or products (like you!) will have full access. So rest assured, you're still in a cohort of serious, committed learners. We’re looking forward to seeing how this evolves — and more importantly, seeing all of YOU here. Let’s make this a place where the next generation of editors find their people. Best, Larry & Richard Master The Workflow
