Process steps

Logging

1 day from previous step

task

Review all raw footage and log timecodes for usable clips. Note the best takes, identify any issues, and create a clip database. This is the foundation of your entire edit.

First Assembly

3 day from previous step

task

Assemble all selected clips in sequence order. This is a rough layout showing how the story flows from beginning to end. Focus on structure, not polish.

Rough Cut

5 day from previous step

task

Tighten the edit and establish pacing. Remove unnecessary footage, refine transitions, and ensure the story makes sense. This is where the video starts taking shape.

Fine Cut

8 day from previous step

task

Perfect the timing of every cut. Adjust clip lengths frame-by-frame, add b-roll, and ensure smooth transitions. The edit should feel natural and polished at this stage.

Client Review & Approval

9 day from previous step

approval

Share the fine cut with the client for review. They can approve to proceed or request revisions. If revisions are needed, address all feedback before the final cut lock.

Final Cut

10 day from previous step

task

Lock the edit after incorporating all feedback. No more structural changes after this point. This is the version that moves forward to audio mixing and color correction.
