I follow a structured workflow to ensure efficient video editing from concept to final delivery.

1. Concept Development: Collaborate with the team to brainstorm ideas and define the video's purpose.

3. Pre-production Planning: Organize assets, schedule shoots, and gather necessary materials.
4. Footage Review: Import and review all footage, selecting the best takes for the project.
5. Rough Cut: Assemble a rough cut of the video, focusing on pacing and structure.
6. Feedback Loop: Share the rough cut with stakeholders for feedback and make necessary adjustments.
7. Final Cut: Refine the edit, adding transitions, effects, and color grading.
8. Audio Editing: Incorporate sound design, voiceovers, and background music.
9. Quality Control: Review the final product for any errors or inconsistencies.
10. Delivery: Export the video in the required formats and deliver it to the client or platform.
