THERE IS NO SHORTCUT!!!
 
The unfortunate truth is that there’s really no way to shortcut the editing process.  It’s the same as becoming great at any other discipline: practice, practice, practice.

But there are a few habits that will dramatically help if you build them into your workflow early.

1. Watch ALL Your Footage
It seems tedious and time-consuming, but making sure you’ve gone through all the footage provided to you ensures that you’ll select the best moments.  This is essential!  There’s nothing worse than putting together a great edit only to have someone say, “Why didn’t you use THIS piece of footage?”
Start the right way and watch through ALL the footage.
Additionally, if your edit is mostly focusing on visuals, you can save a lot of time by using the shuttle buttons which are ‘J’ (Reverse), ‘K’ (Stop), and ‘L’ (Forward).  Both in the source monitor and in the timeline, hitting the L key will play your footage at normal speed while hitting it a second time will play your clip at double speed.
 
2. Stay Organized.
Over the course of editing an entire video, you’re likely to have a slew of clips to keep track of.  In order to manage everything and keep from going insane, it’s absolutely essential to stay organized.   This starts with bins.

3.Label Colors Are Your Friend.
There are two different ways you can go about this process.  The first is that you can right click individual clips on your timeline and assign them a label color.  This can be great if you need to work with individual clips that don’t fit into larger categories.  The second way is to label your clips early in the ingest stage within the project manager.

4. Don’t Be Afraid To Take A Break And Get Perspective.
Taking a break every hour or so can help you keep your mind from getting into a creative rut. Take a walk, let your mind rest, or work on a separate project to allow yourself to get some short creative distance.

5. Review, Review, Review!
Sending an export that has a glaring error looks bad on your part.  There is one simple solution to this problem: review your footage before exporting!

Editing Quotes: . .

The only formula:
Shot < Scene < Sequence = Editing 🤫...

Editing is preparing motion-picture (video) by deleting, arranging, and splicing, by synchronizing the sound record with the footage and spicing it up with sounds. 😍

This feels like cooking the best meal 😋 right?
