the editing process itself is a mess but i keep it well contained inside Final Cut Pro X. still think FCP 7 is better but... c'est la vie
i have a vague idea of the Themes i wanna talk about & shoot a ton of video; the vlog coming out today or tomorrow has about 2 hours of raw footage but the final video will be well under the 4 minute mark. then, i sort of sculpt the rough shape of the vlog in FCP. this stage of the process is very improv—Video Jazz i call it. then i build the script around the footage, making small edits to the video to make the voiceover fit better
this is completely backwards to how things are normally done but it works!
