thats alot of footage to sift through, man.
What I do is catagorize my bins first… talkin heads in one bin… broll in another… broll per topic, ect.
I begin editing by placing all usable delights on the timeline. Somtimes this is 10 times as long as I need it to be but it lets me know exactly what I have to work with. I then go subtractivly though the timeline until I get the conternt cut to time. I then go from the top again with music and other than broll and effects, it’s a done deal when done with this pass. I then go from the top again with broll and some transitions. If I had to, I could spit out a short turnaround master at the end of this pass. I then go from the top one more time with added layers of love as time allows.
