Editing in Real Time | Episode 5

The creative process used to move in steps. Shoot. Edit. Review. Refine. Now, those boundaries are starting to disappear. In this episode of “Changing Frequencies,” host Josh Miely sits down with Derek Schweickart of Frame.io to explore how cloud-based workflows are reshaping not just production speed, but the timing, structure and dynamics of creative decision-making. They break down: How the line between production and post-production is collapsing into a single, continuous process Why real-time access to footage is changing when and how creative decisions get made How editors and collaborators are adapting to working earlier — and sometimes simultaneously The difference between quick-turn content workflows and long-form creative timelines How real-time feedback can sharpen creative intent instead of diluting it Why “more voices” doesn’t always mean more noise — and can sometimes improve focus The growing challenge of managing versions, feedback and creative alignment in distributed teams What it means to “finish” a project when content is always accessible and editable As cloud workflows accelerate production, the bigger shift isn’t just speed — it’s control, timing and how creative vision takes shape when everything happens at once. 🎟 Stay until the end of the episode for an exclusive podcast promo code that gives you a free NAB Show Floor Pass to the 2026 NAB Show in Las Vegas (April 18-22)!
