Hey all.  After watching the timeline organization video; does anyone know if there’s a way to create a project file that we can save to our desktop as a type of template? 

Ie- i set my project settings, I create an initial timeline with 4 video tracks, 9 or so audio tracks that are color coded, the reverb track and a ducking track- save that to my desktop.  Whenever I have a new project I open this and then save it to the project it belongs to?

would it be wiser to wait for Deity to drop the new recorders or should I just get the old ones while I can?

Bro! Can I call you bro? hahah what was the "Directing the Couple's Portraits" part? hahahaha Have you worked in some other entertainment business? You really get into man.

Here in Eastern Europe I'm so used to the more easy going, let the couple, and guests do their thing, and you just stay out trying not to be visible for the most part of it, but damn, you really get to be part of the day. Talking up, cheering up everyone, calling people for dancing. Great energy. I see that just having the dozen of mics, and 20+ lights are very nice haves, but the energy and interaction of you and everyone is very interesting to see.

Have you ever got people to think this interaction was a bit too much? I guess maybe you probably have thought about that in the start, but have someone ever said anything sort of negative about it? I know a lot of people like it, but wonder if anyone even once thought it was too much

Pumped to be a part of this group. I have been watching Justin's You Tube videos and learning for a few months. I knew if he ever released a course or mentorship I would buy/sign up blindly with ZERO doubt. Excited for whats to come from this group and stepping into the next level of my career. I can't be the only ONE who feels like this.... Somebody drop me a line if you'r on the same page.

Hey everyone! Thanks again for joining the academy! I can't tell you how excited I am to start teaching this style. I wanted to let you know that you can comment directly on the videos within the platform. These questions/comments will get prioritized responses so feel free to ask. 

On another note, We are going to be doing our first challenege on June 28th - Film Trailers live stream. You definitely want to be apart of that so be sure to set your reminder. If you can't make it, you'll still be able to join the challenege after.

Hey everyone, I am excited to be a part of this! I was secretly hoping Justin had this live academy up and running before the wedding season so that I could be more prepared lol! Either way I have already implemented some of the teachings into my workflow! The biggest change for me was putting mics on multiple people. I can't quite afford the whole timecode set up yet so I have to put in hours to sync everything until then!

I am a 1 man team and between editing and shooting, I try not to do more than 2 weddings a month. I am interested to hear what everyone's calendars look like! I would love to do more than 2 but I feel like I have to rush the editing if I do that.
