I was responsible for audio, graphic, and video imports of dailies, and I synced and multigrouped newly shot footage. Footage was typically Canon C300, Canon 5D, Red Epic, and Go Pro. I had to ingest Arri Alexa footage on the fly using Adobe Prelude and bring proxy video into Avid for offline edit. I was able to easy execute this task with my command of the Adobe suite. Generated clearance logs, legal logs, and logged dailies for scripted television shows.
