Frame rates, resolution, proxies, exports and speed — the technical groundwork every editor needs.
The editor who keeps their hands on the keyboard moves twice as fast as the editor who reaches for the mouse.
Choosing the wrong export settings is one of the fastest ways to destroy hours of editing work — this lesson shows you how to get it right every time.
Frame rate is one of the most fundamental settings on any camera — and choosing the wrong one can kill the look you're going for before you've made a single cut.
Lost footage is the one editing mistake you cannot fix in post — disciplined media management is the only cure.
Proxies are lightweight stand-in files that let you edit high-resolution footage without overwhelming your computer — and switching back to the originals for final export takes only a few clicks.
Export time is dead time — and most of it is avoidable once you understand what actually makes a render slow.
Knowing your resolution and aspect ratio before you hit record saves you from expensive rework and opens up creative flexibility in the edit.
