You know what visual effects are.  You know what editing is.  But do you know what a visual effects editor does?  If you've ever wanted to know, or wanted to know more about VFX editing, this episode of the Rough Cut is for you!  VFX Editors Marty Kloner (Star Wars - The Rise of Skywalker), Sharon Smith Holley (Alita: Battle Angel) and Wynton Payne (Luke Cage) demystify the process and clear up the misconceptions about this crucial component of post-production.  Even films outside the sci-fi, fantasy and action genre require the VFX editor's eye for detail and slight of hand to fix takes and save shots.  Marty, Sharon and Wynton give you their backstory in the business as well as discuss how they bridge the gap between picture editing and visual effects, as well the types of effects they're asked to do and the tools they use to do them.
