Jared Simon @jaredsimon.com · 02/07/2025Everyone’s always saying “Jared, I simply don’t have enough podcasts to listen to.” Well, fret no more.

Jared Simon @jaredsimon.com · 12/06/2025Some bonus tips that got trimmed from the book ended up being put to good use in this highlight on Randi Altman's postPerspective:postperspective.comEvery Frame Counts: An Assistant Editor’s Reference Book - postPerspectiveThese notes have been refined, structured, reviewed and formed into a book called “Every Frame Counts: An Assistant Editor’s Reference Book.” 020

Jared Simon @jaredsimon.com · 04/05/2025Whoa! Jack Brown aka “The Avid Assistant” on YouTube reviewed my book, Every Frame Counts. He talks about what the book is, and just as importantly, what the book is *not*. If you’re on the fence, check out his review! #PostChat #PostSkyyoutu.beEvery Frame Counts - Review and Giveaway!!YouTube video by The Avid Assistant 172

Jared Simon @jaredsimon.com · 18/04/2025I finally received my own copies in the mail. Can’t wait to read each one. Check out page 96… 130
Jared Simon @jaredsimon.com · 13/04/2025The reviews are in, the author approves. PS: The page turning is due in part to both the compelling contents of the text as well as the helpful nature of the cross-referencing. 031
Jared Simon @jaredsimon.com · 08/04/2025A free downloadable dailies checklist?? Wow. Click below. s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/s3-euw1-ap-p... Every Frame Counts is available now, anywhere books are sold! #PostChat #PostSky 162
Jared Simon @jaredsimon.com · 25/02/2025Frame.io has a great blog post breaking codecs down, too. Knowing how computers are processing video files helps you to troubleshoot more effectively. #PostChat #PostSky It also allows you to laugh watching those videos I posted earlier in this thread because you’re like “no he’s right tho”workflow.frame.ioVideo Post-Production Workflow Guide | Frame.ioThe web’s most comprehensive post-production resource, written by pro filmmakers, for pro filmmakers.

Jared Simon @jaredsimon.com · 25/02/2025In all seriousness, David Kong’s video from (gasp!) nearly a decade ago is still my go-to recommendation for those wanting to learn about codecs and containers.vimeo.comHow Codecs Work - TutorialIf you work with video, it's vital to understand how codecs work and how they change your image. In this tutorial, I cover all of the big concepts behind codecs,… 120

Jared Simon @jaredsimon.com · 25/02/2025Comedy is so important to me, and I cherish my short stint at UCB. I honestly I think Alan made this video for me and me alone, and everyone else is just allowed to watch it: #PostChat #PostSkyyoutube.comWHAT CODEC SHOULD I USE? | adult swim smallsYouTube video by Adult Swim 110
Jared Simon @jaredsimon.com · 25/02/2025Unfortunately “Every Frame Counts” does *not* cover codecs like 1.2 Yums, Tizz 5D, or Horngut 222… apologies, @alanresnick.bsky.social. Other codecs and naming conventions are outlined in the Turnovers chapter though. Here’s a screenshot of how I organize my DNxHR SQ media onto Nexis workspaces. 130
Jared Simon @jaredsimon.com · 24/02/2025It’s with this exact energy that I wrote the book, btw. #PostChat #PostSkyyoutu.beI love movies - Keanu Reeves - John WickYouTube video by Jaubadda 010
Jared Simon @jaredsimon.com · 17/02/2025I do it with a combination of imported JPEGs and preset sequences. The sequences have a piece of blank media with a color effect on them, and a SubCap effect that allows me to change the text without creating new media. More on this around p. 113 (still awaiting final proof pages!) 050
Jared Simon @jaredsimon.com · 16/02/2025Absolutely! The ISBN for the ebook is 9781003516491 and the link is below.

Jared Simon @jaredsimon.com · 16/02/2025Every editor has their own preferences, but creating little “Post-It”-style notes helps communicate more visually. Link below for more info about the book before it comes out!jaredasimon.comEvery Frame Counts — Jared A. Simon 110
Jared Simon @jaredsimon.com · 16/02/2025Wondering how some editors like their scene bins laid out? Here’s an example illustration from Every Frame Counts. #PostChat #PostSky 4121
Jared Simon @jaredsimon.com · 13/02/2025Likewise! I talk a lot about how important community is, especially in such a competitive field. We all lift each other up. Thanks for the kind words, and I’m looking forward to donating copies to your next giveaway! 120
Jared Simon @jaredsimon.com · 11/02/2025I'm excited to share this with everyone and if you like it please tell a friend! More to come as we get closer to the release date. Happy to field any questions in the meantime. 130
Jared Simon @jaredsimon.com · 11/02/2025I hope it's a worthy contribution to the community @dr0id.bsky.social and @coreyfrost.bsky.social have fostered here on social media—I don't post much and I'm not great at marketing (I'm an Assistant Editor, after all, not some PR genius). 241
Jared Simon @jaredsimon.com · 11/02/2025I talk a lot about @avidmediacomposer.bsky.social but it's a mix of technical and holistic tips, tricks and notes. Not a definitive guide, more so insight into the mind and workflow of a First Assistant Editor in a scripted environment. 140
Jared Simon @jaredsimon.com · 11/02/2025Hi! I wrote a book about being a First Assistant Editor. It's called "Every Frame Counts: An Assistant Editor's Reference Book" and it's being published by Routledge on April 2nd. Written BY an assistant FOR assistants. #PostChat #PostSkyjaredasimon.comEvery Frame Counts — Jared A. Simon 33711
