"Film Editor" & "Cinematographer" Fields?

(1/2) > >>

lungnut:
Hi,

Is there any way to feature these two key positions (more important than "Composer" in my mind) in the movie's info screen?

Thanks!

nostra:
No, but there are plans for custom career types.

lungnut:
Well, that's disappointing. But I'm glad there's some thought into incorporating it in future releases.

These two jobs (editor and cinematographer) are so central to a movie's success or failure, I see this omission as one of the few missteps I've encountered with PVD.

That said, this program is fantastic.

rick.ca:
You forgot Production Designer, Costume Designer and Casting Director. Together with Composer, Director of Photography and Editor, the relative importance of these production roles varies with each film, and for any one film is likely to remain largely subjective. So I think you misspoke in suggesting there's been a misstep. You are correct about the program being fantastic, however. ;)

I'm not sure what's meant by this. There's not much point in collecting any additional credits unless they are related by career type. But custom career types suggests these may not be supported by plugins. It seems to me the ability to track any of the significant production roles in the same manner as Composer would be much more useful than a custom career type that's not filled by plugins.

It might have something to do with my profession, which is film editing :-)

That said, I would love if this feature would make it in to a future iteration of PVD. Is there something that prevents this or is it the fact that so few people desire it?
