How Video Editing Works: My Entire Workflow

It takes a lot of work for a video to go from what's recorded on a memory card to a finished video that someone can watch online.

In this video I show my video editing process and post-production workflow for the videos I make for this site and my production company makes for my clients.

You'll see how I:

  • backup my footage to multiple hard drives

  • sync multiple video cameras and audio files

  • start editing the footage quickly

  • add in b-roll

  • get feedback from peers and clients

  • add in graphics, lower thirds, & bumpers

  • color correct and grade the video

  • choose where to get background music

  • add thumbnails and closed captioning

  • use a step-by-step process list for every video I make
