Overview

Use this workflow to clean camera takes, tighten pacing, and preserve sync with screen content. [insert screenshot of a selected camera clip with trim/split controls in timeline]

​
Before you start

  • Complete script chunking first.
  • Keep screen clip and camera clip visible together when possible.
  • Identify scene boundaries before making deep trims.

​
Steps

  1. Trim dead air and obvious retakes.
  2. Split long clips into scene-sized segments.
  3. Align clip starts to key on-screen events.
  4. Check transitions from camera-forward to screen-forward moments.
  5. Play the full scene once to verify rhythm and sync.

​
Check your result

  • Camera delivery feels intentional, not rushed or padded.
  • Scene transitions remain coherent.
  • Audio/video alignment is stable after edits.

​
Troubleshooting

​
Camera and screen are out of sync

After trims, re-check offsets at every scene boundary. Small offset errors compound quickly.

​
Cuts feel abrupt

Move cut points to natural pauses in speech or breath.

​
Audio quality changed unexpectedly

Check whether additional effects or voice processing were applied after editing.
