Side note, just for context, since there seem to be primarily video hobbyists responding to the OP:
Node based workflows are typical in NLE software. See Fusion & Color panels in Davinci Resole, Fusion (color grading), etc. Industry folks will take to this node based canvas with ease.
An additional suggestion for OP, working with large video archives:
- Batch transcribe your videos to smaller proxy files preserving the same file names (to allow easy re-linking to full quality media later)
- Upload proxys to Mosaic
- Do your Agentic rough-cut with Mosaic
- Export EDL or NLE project file
- In NLE, Re-link proxy media to full-quality video & render locally.
To Mosaic:
I need to look deeper at your project, but support for EDL export (Avid, Premiere, Final Cut compatible, as well as commercial grading and conform software workflows) and upload/management of proxy media could be helpful additional features.
The policy is about recommending polite speech in a public forum where rules to this effect have been enforced for a long time. And it's articulating what that means to people who don't understand what pronouns are for.
That some people may use a pronoun other than the one on their birth certificate is the way things are going in the modern world, so polite use of the language must take this into consideration.
I have living aunts and uncles and grandparents who still think it's okay to refer to dark skinned persons, and with all politeness, as "Negro." I take it on to school them and, yes, compel them to use polite and accepted speech.
By the way, there is no society or culture without compelled and enforced norms, which by the way are what's under debate underneath all this.
The policy is not about "recommending" anything, it's about "requiring". That's the essence of most of the negative reaction. There are plenty of things that I will usually be happy to do voluntarily but will strongly oppose being required to do.
Some people do deliberately (misgender) to antagonize a person. Particularly people who feel their culture is being redefined without them.
By the way, EVERY trans person I know has been EXCEEDINGLY kind and understanding when I've made a mistake with their gender. Now, if I don't know it already, I ask what they prefer to be called the same way I would ask how to properly pronounce someone's name. "Pardon me, what are your pronouns?"
If they've stated what their pronouns are then use them with the same respect you would muster to call someone by their proper name and pronunciation and spelling. The value here is no different, just more broadly applied then you're perhaps used to.
If you deliberately misgender someone (show me a nerd hasn't had this or some similar slur used against them) then you're just a jerk and should be reprimanded.
As an aside, to all the people complaining about non-English speakers doing enough work already participating in our idiom: 1) proper use of pronouns is essential to speaking English with or without neopronouns. 2) Many languages and cultures require VERY refined and strict understanding of a persons A) Age, B) Marital status, C) Gender and especially D) Social status before even beginning to address them.
