The Aftermath Project's 2016 grant cycle is now open. One $20,000 grant will be awarded. The grant winner will be announced prior to Christmas. Apply for this year's grant at http://theaftermathproject.org/application/2016-grant-application. Application deadline is November 2, 2015. The Aftermath Project is a non-profit organization committed to telling the other half of the story of conflict — the story of what it takes for individuals to learn to live again, to rebuild destroyed lives and homes, to restore civil societies, to address the lingering wounds of war while struggling to create new avenues for peace.

MediaStorm Guide to Quickly Deleting Through Edits in Premiere Pro

As I explained in an earlier post, a through edit is a marker that indicates where you’ve sliced an asset but no frames have actually been omitted. To turn on this functionality, from the Sequence menu select Show Through Edits. Now, when you make a cut (Command-Shift-K), you’ll see the through edit icon. Adobe has conveniently used the same icon found in Final Cut Pro 7. If you’re like me, you’ll probably collect a lot of these during the course of your work, places where you thought you’d make an edit but ultimately didn't. In time, they become a distraction. Fortunately there’s an easy way to batch delete these markers. Simply hold both the Option and Command keys while lassoing your clips with the Selection Tool (A). Your edit points will be selected. Next, hit the Delete key and your through edits will be deleted.
