Snow Day

On January 12, 2017 By JayceCutsIn Anecdotes, Hints and Tips

It's snowing outside so fuck it. Work can wait. I lived and worked in South Africa for most of my life having emigrated there from England in 1970 at age 5 and now do all of my editing for my South African clients sitting in a fairly comfortable chair in Youghal, on the Irish East …

The Postman Always Rings Twice

On January 12, 2017 By JayceCutsIn Anecdotes

I've cut a lot of television in the last 7 years, and I mean a LOT! But my feature film editing resume has always been patchy at best. Starting in the early 90's when I cut a couple of  French soft core porn films in South Africa on an Avid (which I still hate, both …

Why? Why on earth? Why on earth are editors still using FCP7? ?

Last Night a DJ (FCPX) Saved My Life

On March 25, 2016March 25, 2016 By JayceCutsIn Anecdotes

Just over a week ago my family and myself were involved in a home invasion. Unfortunately this is a reality of living in one of the most dangerous countries in the world, South Africa. It was late, almost 2am, the family was sleeping and I was working on finishing off a project that I needed …

Back to the Future

On November 18, 2015 By JayceCutsIn Anecdotes

I'm 51 years old in a physical sense, in that I was born 51 years ago. Mentally I'm nowhere near as old. The wife says 18 but I like to think I'm not the arsehole I was at 18 but more the child of 19 or 20. I was much nicer then. I helped that …

The Butler

On January 26, 2015 By JayceCutsIn Anecdotes, Hints and Tips

I have just put the finishing touches of my cut of episode 5 of the TV Show Ayeye which is to be broadcast in 2 weeks on DSTV's youth channel Vuzu Amp. It's a 48 minute drama with lots of dialogue. It's centered around 3 mid 20 year old boys (read playas) who work in …

Superman Returns

On January 15, 2015January 15, 2015 By JayceCutsIn Anecdotes

So... FCPX when it was launched was an absolute pig of a programme. Even the legend that is Walter Murch was going "what the fuck?" when it was launched a few years ago. I have been cutting on non-linear systems since 1994. I was the very first editor in South Africa to edit a TV …

Birth of a Nation

On October 25, 2014October 25, 2014 By JayceCutsIn Anecdotes

So it's nearing the end of 2014 and Apple have had 2 major upgrades in the last 12 months, there's new iPads and iMacs and let's not for get the gorgeous trashcan that is the MacPro. I went for a new iMac. I bumped up the cpu and the grafix card and am waiting on …

First Cut

On July 1, 2013July 1, 2013 By JayceCutsIn Anecdotes

As this will be my first real post under this persona I thought it would be best to just give you a little history ( I have another blog which is way too ranty and sweary for this forum). This then is the who, what, where and why of Jayce. And I guess that would …
