Process steps

Logging

1 day from previous step

task

Go through all your raw footage and log timecodes for every usable clip. Note the best takes, flag any issues, and build out a clip database. It's the foundation your whole edit is built on, so don't rush it.

First Assembly

3 day from previous step

task

Put all your selected clips together in sequence order. You're just laying out a rough map of how the story flows from start to finish. Don't worry about polish here - focus on structure.

Rough Cut

5 day from previous step

task

Tighten your edit and get the pacing right. Cut what's not needed, refine your transitions, and make sure the story holds together. This is where the video really starts taking shape.

Fine Cut

8 day from previous step

task

Now it's time to nail the timing of every single cut. Go frame-by-frame on clip lengths, layer in your b-roll, and smooth out any rough transitions. By the end of this step, the edit should feel natural and polished.

Client Review & Approval

9 day from previous step

approval

Send the fine cut over to your client so they can review it. They'll either approve it to move forward or come back with revisions. If they've got changes, work through all their feedback before you lock the final cut.

Final Cut

10 day from previous step

task

Once you've incorporated all the feedback, lock the edit. There's no going back for structural changes after this point. This is the version that heads into audio mixing and color correction.
