Define the video topic and target audience

Select background music (choosing music first makes editing smoother)
Rough Cut

Select the clips you want to use

Arrange clips in narrative order on the timeline

Remove obvious rejects (bad takes, dead air, mistakes)

Confirm total duration is within target range
Fine Cut
✓
Refine in/out points for every clip
✓
Review transitions — ensure each one fits the mood
✓
Adjust editing rhythm to match music beats
✓
Add B-roll to cover jump cuts and enrich visuals

Apply speed ramps (slow-motion / fast-forward) where needed

Basic correction: white balance, exposure, contrast

Creative grading: establish the overall color style

Check skin tones look natural

Ensure color consistency across all clips

Preview on a phone (especially for vertical content)
