How To Organize An Edit<\/h1>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

You finished shooting and have started editing
<\/strong><\/h3>\n

So you have already stored and organized your footage in folders in a external hard drive and you are about to begin your edit. What should you do? Should you import everything into a Premiere project or edit by chunks and in the end paste it all together?<\/p>\n

Well, if you have a computer that is able to process 4k footage like a piece of cake and you have fast hard drives that can process those videos like a beast, then do not hesitate, edit in a single project. This way you won’t be looking around for that scene that you are certain you’ve edited but you don’t find. As well, if you edit the whole movie in a single project you can be sure that you know where you have made some changes in the project if you use Walter Murch’s technique of having an exported video of your project on top of your timeline. This way, every time you change something in the edit (as Premiere reads video files from top to bottom) you have to open that skin to make the changes. But Walter Murch’s technique is another whole topic for another post.<\/p>\n

If your computer isn’t able to process so much data, edit by scenes and paste them together eventually.<\/p>\n
