Editing Stages
Logging:
Organizing, Naming, labeling, short descriptions. do it first to make the editing much easier.
1st Assembly Edit:
Piecing together according to storyboard.
Rough Cut
Determining what should be in or out, inserting possible simple transitions. Macro edit
Fine Cut
Fine editing detail, precision micro editing paying attention to rhythm.
Final Cut
The last final decisions and then picture lock.

Annoy your audio production team...
Hah – yes, we want to avoid the "Final Final Cut"! :-)
ReplyDeletePlease note that the terms "macro edit" and "micro edit" are not industry recognised terms, but are merely just terms that I have coined in my own practice for want of better alternatives.
