We got a lot of footage over the course of the three hours, and with the interviews too, we are looking to use roughly 5 to 10 minutes of this entire day's shoot in the finished documentary.
That's a lot of editing ahead, especially when you try to condense the footage to that amount of time. But as they say when it comes to editing video, it's better to have too much than not enough.
Absolutely, at least with a lot of footage you have options and choice in what goes into the final project.
Yeah, the editing is going to be a lot, but I'm doing my best to review and edit footage between days, just so I'm not left with a massive amount of stuff to go through at the end.
Too bad there isn't an AI tool that can just grab the highlights from the raw footage. Google notebook can analyze video I believe and summarize key elements, but I haven't used it yet. I do use Microsoft Clip champ that uses AI to take a video and condense it to key moments. Good luck!
