Editing is 10% cutting and 90% finding the right clip. Most editors lose hours to "decision fatigue" because they don't have a standardized system for their footage.

I’ll cover everything from standardized folder structures, custom metadata fields, and the "magic" of Smart Bins. Whether you’re a solo YouTuber or a narrative filmmaker, these habits will help you stay in the creative flow and master the edit.
