Final Cut Editor, Ed Cheesman, talks Covid and editing in real time with pinpoint accuracy using ClearView Flex. ClearView Flex allowed directors and agencies to see exactly what Cheesman was seeing in frame for frame accurate pictures.

Challenge

Final Cut pride themselves on having renowned experience and COVID was not going to prevent the company from maintaining its 25 year reputation. One of Final Cut’s roster of sought after directors is Ed Cheesman who explained that when COVID first hit, “the facility still had a large number of jobs in production” which still needed to be completed to the same high standards as pre COVID.

Solution

Cheesman was able to continue working alongside respected clients Dom & Nic (Outsider) all via ClearView. He states that a major benefit of using ClearView “was huge” as it enabled the team to “quickly check edits, review task and problem solve all in real time.”
