Are you having difficulty performing more efficiently in the field of video editing? Well, ask me.
I have also been where you are today. I understand how annoying it can be to sit and stare at your monitor struggling with a video, hoping to (magically) improve it.
This is my story. I’m a tech blogger, and that just forces me to do a lot of videos. And when I talk about videos, I mean professional looking videos.
I used to struggle for hours mixing from one software to another and ending up with a much messier video each time. That made me think, “What was wrong?”
After a lot of (thoughtful) thought and observatory experiments, I stumbled upon these two tricks that substantially improved my video editing workflow.
What are these two tricks? Let’s go over each of the topics one by one.
1. Get Organized – One of the simplest but most effective ways to streamline your workflow is to get organized. You may have a lot of video streams, images, titles, raw data, music, etc. What you need to do is organize them in separate files or folders. Or even a better option is to dedicate external storage devices for each of these. The next step is to assign easily identifiable names to the files. Remember, every minute you save to browse these files is one more minute to think creatively.
two. Disk performance: Analyzing and improving your hard disk is another effective method to improve your video editing workflow. Disk defragmentation, disk error checking, uninstalling unnecessary programs, scanning disks for viruses / malware are just some of the ways to improve your disk.
These tricks are so simple that you can start implementing them right now and start seeing the results you want.
But it doesn’t stop there.
