Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, it's Dustin here, your video editing Guru and
Speaker 1: AI enthusiast, and welcome to another episode of the Video
Speaker 1: Editing Guru podcast. Today we are all about making your
Speaker 1: post production process as efficient as it can be, whether
Speaker 1: you're dealing with client projects, personal content, or those big
Speaker 1: crazy productions. We'll be looking into some essential tips and
Speaker 1: tricks and tools you can use to speed up your
Speaker 1: editing workflow without compromising quality. So, whether you're overwhelmed with
Speaker 1: deadlines or drowning and endless clips, brace yourselves. I've got
Speaker 1: you covered. Let's get into it. Our first stop today
Speaker 1: is all about the fundamental having a solid workflow. One
Speaker 1: big mistake I see a lot of editors making is
Speaker 1: diving headfirst into the editing process without getting organized or
Speaker 1: without a solid process in mind. Trust me, it's tempting
Speaker 1: to start slicing and dicing right away, but taking a
Speaker 1: moment to build a structured workflow can save you hours,
Speaker 1: if not days, of work down the line by saving
Speaker 1: you the time you'd otherwise spend coming through your project
Speaker 1: for that one perfect shot. Now moving to some more
Speaker 1: practical tips, let's talk about your new best friend, keyboard shortcuts. Yes,
Speaker 1: those simple key combinations that enhance your editing speed by
Speaker 1: letting you trim, cut, and navigate your timeline much faster
Speaker 1: than you could with a mouse. These shortcuts are available
Speaker 1: in a range of editing software including Adobe Premiere Pro,
Speaker 1: Final Cut Pro, and even Da Vinci Resolve, where you
Speaker 1: can tailor your shortcuts to fit your unique editing style.
Speaker 1: Familiarize yourself with these shortcuts and watch your speed skyrocket.
Speaker 1: Tip number two, use proxies for smooth editing. If you're
Speaker 1: dealing with large, high resolution files like four K or
Speaker 1: eight K footage, proxies are your best bet. What are proxies,
Speaker 1: you ask. They are the lower resolution versions of your
Speaker 1: high quality files that allow you to edit faster while
Speaker 1: keeping your final product top notch. You can find built
Speaker 1: in proxy workflows and editing software like Premiere Pro and
Speaker 1: da Vinci Resolve, or use external tools like Adobe Media Encoder.
Speaker 1: Trust me, they'll be a life saver. For our third tip,
Speaker 1: let's delve into the art of multicam editing. If you're
Speaker 1: working with interviews, events, or any shoot with multiple angles,
Speaker 1: multicam editing can be a massive timesaver Instead of the
Speaker 1: tedious task of manually syncing and cutting between angles. You
Speaker 1: can do this in real time through a multicam sequence.
Speaker 1: This trick not only speeds up the cutting process, but
Speaker 1: also makes for fluid, dynamic storytelling. Most major editing programs
Speaker 1: have a multicam feature, so definitely worth a shot if
Speaker 1: you're working with multiple cameras. Our fourth tip revolves around
Speaker 1: the concept of batch processing for color correction and effects.
Speaker 1: If you're working on a video with lots of clips,
Speaker 1: don't slow yourself down by individually applying color corrections or
Speaker 1: effects to every shot. Instead, take advantage of batch processing.
Speaker 1: This smart trick lets you apply color corrections or effects
Speaker 1: across multiple clips with just one command. And the best
Speaker 1: part is it's not only a mega time saver, but
Speaker 1: this also keeps your timeline consistent. Finally, our fifth and
Speaker 1: last tip, utilize the power of AI and automation wherever
Speaker 1: you can. With the advancements in AI technology for post production,
Speaker 1: it's a smart move to use tools like Adobe' sense AAI,
Speaker 1: DA Vinci's Neural Engine, or other third party plugins to
Speaker 1: handle tedious aspects of editing like motion tracking, stabilizing shaky footage,
Speaker 1: or even audio sinking. These don't replace your creativity, but
Speaker 1: instead for you to focus more on storytelling and less
Speaker 1: on repetitive tasks. Brick by brick, these tools are reshaping
Speaker 1: what's possible in post production, and just like that, we've
Speaker 1: come to the end of our five tips to speed
Speaker 1: up your post production workflow. From mastering keyboard shortcuts to
Speaker 1: leveraging multicam sequences and diving into AI, you're now equipped
Speaker 1: with the strategies that will help you streamline your work
Speaker 1: and boost your efficiency. Remember each project is different, but
Speaker 1: being adaptable and having an efficient approach means you are
Speaker 1: ready to tackle any editing project. Big or thanks so
