Piotr Toczyński
Film Editor, YouTube Creator
First and foremost I didn't go to film school. In fact, I have a master degree in Civil Engineering. I just figured out that movies are what I truly love. So I'm not in the film school now and I will never be. I hate academic life.
However, I have worked as the video editor full time. Now I freelance. I've edited a number of commercials, youtube videos, short doc and assisted in short fiction.
David Mamet once said, that there are only three ways to learn filmmaking.
1. On the set
2. In the cutting room
3. In the theater watching the audience
I decided to treat it as a guide in my filmmaking journey.
I only added two ingredients that are stressed by Akira Kurosawa and Werner Herzog – reading and... living.

How was switching to Avid? I imagine it's hard once you're deep in Adobe's system? I plan to learn it myself as well.

How You Can Influence the Future of Premiere Pro

Michael, you're right! Thank you for the info and sorry for the mistake. Though I needed to check how I got the idea. So the thing is that Blackmagic said that though it's not in the specs at the moment they are looking into it. As they always update their firmware pretty regularly, I expect ProRes RAW will be a thing for BMPCC 4K. Anyway - you're 100% right - at the moment it's not there. Thank you once again!

Wow, I can imagine how it feels if you tech Premiere Pro for 20 years. Must be so frustrating. I hope Adobe knows they need to focus on the stability or else people will abandon the ship. Many good alternatives out there... Thanks for the comment!

True, they should focus on the stability... anyway it's always best to leave old version on the system when updating to the new one.
I've read it. I plan to do a video on my YT channel about Sidney Lumet one day. Great, great book. I've also read the screenplay for 12 Angry Men. Really worth the time!
