| | Posted: November 14, 2013 8:09 PM | | | | I'm auditing a TV series. There's an editor who usually gets the main editing credit or he shares it with a second editor. Sometimes, however, a third editor gets the main credit and the first one has a "Supervising Editor" credit deeper into the credits. Is this credit still valid if it's not with the main editing credit? The rules state to include "Principal Editors listed when credited together", and also state to include "Supervising" credits except where explicitly forbidden. Is this supervising credit still valid if it's not with the main editing credit? | | | My DVD/Blu-ray Collection

| | Posted: November 14, 2013 9:48 PM | | | | I am in no way an expert on what kind of job a Supervising Editor actually performs, but it does sound like it is explicitly forbidden in this case. Not listed together means we can't use it I'm afraid. | | | | Last edited: November 14, 2013 9:49 PM by Nexus Six |

| | Posted: November 15, 2013 12:27 AM | | | | Cool. When I started auditing the title, the situation seemed somewhat ambiguous, but after typing up the post and looking at the rules, I leaned more towards not valid. But I figured some opinions couldn't hurt.  | | | My DVD/Blu-ray Collection

This means that the third editor you mentioned does most of the editing but the "Supervising Editor" is in the end the one who is in charge and gets blamed if the thing doesn't work. The third editor has maybe been the former assistant of the one who is now Supervising Editor and got the chance to do an episode on his own with his boss having a look on it and last decision on the final cut. So the poll's result is nice but wrong. They should be mentioned both in the profiler. |

There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.
