During #lockdown I used @lumatouch to edit on my #iPad 15 to 25 minutes stories each week for @asturiassemanal, a @RTPAOficial #TV show

This was the workflow we designed overnight to work from home.

A workflow we partly keep in case we need it again in the second #covid19 wave

At work, I used to edit on a PC with @Adobe Premier: an average of a 35’ to 40’ minutes story each 3-4 weeks.

We changed to focus on #covid19

At home I had an iPad Pro 9’7’’ 256 Gg with @lumatouch

I use it 6 weeks until I updated to an iPad Pro 12,9’’ 1 Th to gain capacity

The raw material changed also.

Apart from .MXF files filmed by my colleague with a #Sony FS7M2, we received files shot by our audience (as seen on the pic) with our guidance or by ourselves with the phone (.mp4 and .mov), GOPRO or whatever.

First step was converting the.MXF to .MP4 so I could edit on the iPad.

I connected a laptop to the TV server and did it remotely using the station’s converter.

My connectivity was not perfect, so I reduce a bit of quality in order to gain effectiveness and time.

I selected the sound bites and wrote the scriptwriting using split screen and google docs.

I plugged the microphone to the IPad using a USB-C to digital AV @Belkin adaptor.

I recorded the voice over into the @luma project using an @IKMultimediaES iRig HD2 Mic.

I adjusted the audio tracks (natural sound, voice over, music) so the mix was balanced.

I divided the story into blocks, so it was easier to organice content and edit the pieces.

We shot the PTC (piece to camera) at home with our mojo kits.

We sent every block to the postproduction editor via Wetransfer, Filemail, Drive or uploaded it to a server (as seen in the tweet)

In case the audio mix was not good, I exported separately the tracks so the editor could manage them separately and improve the mix.

The editor subtitled, put everything together and uploaded a low-res copy.

We check it from home.

My colleagues did the same on laptops with @adobe Premier, working with proxies when possible.

This way, we produced 15 one hour programs on a row.

(Nearly forgot). At the end of the process, I exported each part as a @LumaTouch Project and transfered it to a hard disk. I kept it in case I needed to re-edit or reuse some b-roll or parts. Also, in order to archive the project once back at the newsroom, as we always do. #mojo
