In part one of our ongoing look at "media online" for editors, we covered a group of sites dedicated to the Avid Media Composer and Final Cut Pro communities.

As post technologies and applications get ever more complex, editors are seeking out wider sources of social networking—websites, podcasts, blogs, vlogs, microblogs, linklogs, corporate blogs—to gain direct and immediate access to accurate information sharing, whether they are looking to solve an imminent problem or present peer-to-peer solutions.

To prepare the script file — we get the script e-mailed to us as a text (.txt) file — break down the script into scenes and save each scene as a separate text file. Hint: Try to grab as much blank space at the top and bottom of a scene in order to have room for clip images.
