MindBites Insight #5 (Getting organized)

Though we don’t often advocate Machiavellian techniques, to “Divide and Conquer” is the only way to keep yourself sane during video editing. Separating shots, labeling them, and grouping them makes them easily navigable and more intuitive to work with.

With them as your strategists for conquering MindBite projects, you’ll be sure to be victorious in the end. They’ll show you how to capture and begin piecing together your brilliant footage, give you helpful ideas for keeping order, show you what you need, explain some terms, and discuss how organization is the key to editing.

But please, keep your words small, for I am but a mindful haberdasher...
