Who has a system for putting their video together?

[Donnie]

So, Ive been out over 2 days with a shot list and a rough plan of attempting to put together a video, been through them all and discarded the ones that were rubbish or didn't work and am now down to 43 seperate clips!
I may have overdone it!

So, what's your process that helps you put together a final video? anyone got any hints or tips?

I think you misunderstand, Im using davinci resolve, im not looking for an editor, im looking at how people approach the edit process when they have lots of clips to pick from?

You might expect people to struggle. It’s a little like saying you have a pencil and a notepad and you want to know how to write a poem or your standing in the middle of a grocery shop wanting to know what you should cook for dinner?

What did you have in mind when shooting the footage.

What are the main elements of the location/action you hope to feature?

Hopefully you have a better idea than anyone here about what your trying to achieve.

Choose your audio first.

1. Discard any clips that are not technically perfect (or very good)

2. Decide what story you want to tell.

3. Choose your music and put it on the timeline

4. Put clips on timeline and trim/cut to match the music and your story

5. Prepare beta version and run on big screen. Note anything you want to change.

6. Prepare final version.
