The Canadian Cinema Editors (CCE) and the Comit\u00e9 des treize are proud to announce the release of The Editor\u2019s Taskbook: Responsibilities and Best Practices, a comprehensive guide designed to empower film and television editors, assistant editors, producers, and their teams. This groundbreaking document has been over four years in the making, and serves as both a reference and a tool for fostering collaborative, efficient, and creative editorial environments.<\/span><\/p>

From pre-production to final delivery, The Editor\u2019s Taskbook outlines every stage of the editing process in detail. It addresses critical topics such as staffing, contracts, workflows, and ergonomic best practices, ensuring that professionals across the industry can approach their projects with clarity, confidence, and creativity.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWe hope that this guide will help editors, assistant editors, producers, and their teams to create rich environments where creativity can flourish,\u201d reads the Preamble. \u201cIt describes the key steps in the editorial team\u2019s workflow, and can be used to determine the time needed for each stage in the editing process and identify the role of each team member. Use it. Adapt it. Share it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Taskbook represents a unique collaboration between several organizations dedicated to supporting editors. The Canadian Cinema Editors, a national association advocating for professional development and recognition of editors, partnered with Montreal-based Comit\u00e9 des treize, known for their focus on supporting francophone editors. Together, they have crafted a guide that addresses the nuances of editorial work in Canada\u2019s diverse production landscape. Additional content was generously provided by Monteurs en mouvement, and some sections have been adapted from existing guidelines (the American Cinema Editors\u2019 Best Practices Guide for Post Production, and the Best Practices For Post-Production Archives by the Visual Research Society of Canada). The Taskbook has been endorsed by the Directors\u2019 Guild of Canada, IATSE 891 (BC), AQTIS 514 IATSE (Quebec), and TEMPO, the international film editors\u2019 organization with over 9000 members.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

“This project is the result of extensive collaboration and consultation with editors across Canada,\u201d said Lesley Mackay Hunter, President of CCE. “In addition to being a guidebook for editors, it is also an advocacy tool that helps educate producers on the crucial role editors and their assistants play in the filmmaking process.”<\/p>

Editor Annie Jean of the Comit\u00e9 des treize added, \u201cWhen we set about creating this guide, our motivation was quite simple: it was a desire to share, to ensure that all our colleagues could enjoy the best possible working conditions. By recognizing the complexity of our profession and the scope of our responsibilities, we wanted to provide everyone with the best possible arguments for negotiating their contracts, while respecting the integrity of our profession.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
