A seven-step video workflow: record in sections for the edit, cut the dead weight first, add short readable captions and tell-then-show B-roll, and polish only after the video already works.

What's inside
  • Record in sections — hook, points, CTA — to make cutting easy
  • Clean the video before adding a single effect
  • Captions: short, large, readable, highlighting only what matters
  • Tell → show: whenever you mention something, show it
  • Polish last — story first, effects second

A 30-Second Video Shouldn't Require a 2-Hour Editing Session

How to turn raw clips into finished videos — without spending your entire evening editing. Your goal isn't to get faster at repetitive editing. It's to remove as much of it as possible.


The Workflow

Record for the edit: shoot in sections — hook, points, CTA — with small pauses between them so cuts and rearrangement are easy later. Cut the boring stuff before adding any effects. Add captions that are short, large and easy to read, plus B-roll that shows whatever you just mentioned. Then polish last: zooms, music, sound effects and transitions only after the video already works.


What's in the Guide

The full seven-step workflow from record to post, the tell-then-show rule for B-roll, and how to hand the repetitive parts — cutting, captioning, B-roll, polish — to a tool instead of doing them by hand.

The full breakdown is in the PDF.
