CutDowns
One of my favorite things I got to do at Tastemade was make cutdowns! We would often get shows that were a few minutes too long for our streaming template so I would go into each individual episode and trim a few minutes here, a few minutes there, until the show was the exact right length. I would also put ad breaks within set parameters and prep the project to be uploaded to our streaming channel.
Not only did this give me an opportunity to watch a bunch of awesome shows, it let me see how different shows were edited and challenged me to make my edits fit right in. Some of the shows I made cut downs for included “Extraordinary Places to Eat”, “Counter Space”, and “Holiday Homes in the Sun”.
