ENHANCE YOUR IMAGES WITH AI UPSCALING

As Lead Assistant Editor on True Crime Story: Look Into My Eyes, I upscaled dozens of low-resolution images for our program. Some images produced great results instantly, while others needed adjustments to ensure the upscaled versions mirrored the originals.

This inspired me to write an AI upscaling guide for users of all experience levels. The guide walks users through selecting low-res images and reviewing upscaled results. I upscaled a variety of images exclusively for this project.

USER GUIDE: CROPPING MULTIGROUPS IN AVID

On The Toys That Built America S3, our post team received a last-minute request to crop over 100 hours of interview footage to widescreen. As a solution, I built a customized Avid workflow that enables widescreen cropping without causing project delays.

I wrote a user guide to document the workflow for our post team, ensuring stability across 12 Avid projects and 50+ interviews.

USER GUIDE: MULTIGROUPING IN ADOBE PREMIERE

At Anchor NY, I worked with three Avid-based editors using Premiere Productions for the first time. To improve the editors’ experience, I organized our footage as Avid-style multigroups. During this process, I discovered a Premiere audio bug that had never been documented on the web.

I wrote a user guide for organizing the footage and preventing the audio bug. The resulting workflow streamlined editing and supported timely deliveries.
