Unscripted TV veteran Ed Servaites is our special guest on this week's Rough Cut podcast. As lead editor and Creative Director at Burnish Creative, Ed has helped bring shows like The Masked Singer, America's Got Talent and Dancing with the Stars to massive audiences every week. Ed talks about the tools and techniques he uses to keep his editing team in sync and on time, and why he hasn't used a master clip in years. We talk about "super teases, string-outs, day stacks" and all the things that go into posting the biggest shows in reality television. All that and how to get a job via Instagram! Plus, editor Steve Audette, ACE calls in to give us the "post" mortem on his remote editing workflow for the latest Frontline feature.
