How to Edit Faster✍️ Okay, okay! Y'all asked so here it is. This is a basically foolproof, tried and true, way of structuring your filming day to make editing a breeze.

I think this tip goes without saying. Because when you plan for what you do, you'll be prepared for everything that comes your way. So don't save the stress for post-production, get all your ducks in order before you even start to film. Plan all your details in pre-production so by the time you get to editing, you know where everything needs to go in your editing workflow. 😌
