Editor Stuart Bass Adds ScriptSync to His Bag of Avid Tricks

For the new ABC show Pushing Daisies, veteran editor Stuart Bass, ACE, (an Emmy-winner for his work on Fox's Arrested Development) employed a familiar television workflow: the show is shot in 35mm and transferred to HDCAM SR in post, and Bass works with DVCAM copies of the HD tapes at 14:1 compression on his Avid Media Composer. The new ingredient in his editorial stew this time around is Avid's ScriptSync feature, introduced this spring at NAB, which automatically matches camera takes to lines of dialogue in the show's script. We talked to him about using ScriptSync; maintaining the show's old-school editorial style in the face of pressure to cut, cut, cut; and the expanded role of the editor.

i agree to whatever Mr. Stuart has said.These days most of the producers want their editor to do all the jobs that a computer can do.And i am suffering from the same problem.
