Hey, @derosnec.

Really good job here. Very informative, and yet short and sweet. I can see you're good at what you do, and knowledgeable about it, too. :)

I am far from being a professional editor, but I have worked on video production for school and for fun, and the part that always seems to take the longest is the editing. I can storyboard, write scripts, plan shoots, do the shooting, reshoot, etc., add some post production types of things, but then it comes time to putting it all together, and that's where I find I'm just too picky for my own good. I would not do well on a production schedule. :)

Still, there is some sense of satisfaction when it's all done.

The thing that concerns me with any editing, be it written, film/video, music, art, or something else, since it is so time consuming, and can take time to get right, it's a lot of toil and effort that only a very small number of people are ever going to appreciate. The vast majority of readers, viewers, listeners, etc., aren't going to care. They're not going to see the quality or the slaving over it. It will boil down to whether they liked it or not, and that will be about as complex for them as it gets.

Sorry. I guess I ranted there for a moment. You might be able to identify. Or, you might be so good at this you can do in a few hours what takes me days to do. :) Which would be why you're a professional film editor, and I'm not.

Oh, and by the way, since you're derosnec, I take it that means you're the opposite of censored? :)
