Workflow Tips

Footage Review Phase

Use AI transcription to scan interviews first. Flag top soundbites before opening the timeline. Target: complete selects in under 3h 22m.

Rough Cut Target

Get a rough assembly to review stage before polishing. Don't color grade or mix audio until structure is approved.

Revision Efficiency

Each revision round is budgeted at 2 hrs. Batch all feedback before starting — avoid multiple small revision passes.
