Night Ferry’s cut on the Film bench: the lit ferry at the quay at night in the rain, over the transport, and the cut’s lanes under it, its title, its six filmed shots from The quay to The wake, the voice’s lines and the horn.

Measured, not guessed.

A loudness meter sits beside the mix and matches it in one press. Scopes over the picture show the waveform, the parade and the vectorscope. Keyframes hold as well as ease. Cut on the beat ends every shot on the music’s nearest beat.

Masks that follow.

Put a rectangle, an ellipse, bars, a split or a star on any clip, placed, feathered or inverted, by hand or by asking. Follow a thing keeps it on what it covers as it moves, free on your Mac. Multicam puts the clips of one moment in step by their sound; cut between the angles with 1 to 9 as it plays.

Night Ferry’s cut on the Film bench with a multicam laid after the wake: its three angles under the picture, 1 The quay, 2 The horn and 3 From above, the third lit and showing the ferry’s rail over the harbour at night.

A new take, its price first.

Change a marked stretch of a shot by words, restyle a take with every movement kept, extend a clip from its last frame, or make a clip between two stills. Sound it, Music to the cut and Re-voice the line add sound to the picture. Each opens a priced panel, and Robin, asked in the chat, puts each paid step to you first. From the Stage, Make the film lays every planned shot on a timeline, free on your Mac.
