How I Edit

Breaking down my editing process and how I went about turning 3 hours of footage shot over 7 days into a 4minute YouTube video.


My editing process can be broken down into 5 parts, edia Management, Editing, Sound Design, Color Grading and the Final Export.


  • Media Management

    • Organizing footage

    • Creating and organizing project folder

    • Importing media

  • Editing

    • Proxies

    • Interpreting Footage

    • Using Metadata

    • Setting up a master timeline

    • Cutting down the selects

    • Pulling selects into final edit

  • Sound design and SFX

    • Music from MusicBed

    • SFX from Epidemic Sound

  • Color grade

    • Balancing colors

    • Base corrections

    • Curves

    • LUT

  • Export Settings

    • Adding curve

    • Exporting in ProRes422HQ

I hope you have found this helpful and may even been able to take something from my process and add it to your own to make you a faster and more efficient editor! Cheers!
