Hours of interviews, B-roll, and archival footage, and no script to follow. Documentary editing is where the story actually gets written. This week on The Cinema Collective, we're sharing our go-to tips for editing documentaries in Premiere Pro, from first import to final cut.
We'll cover organizing large amounts of footage, using transcripts and text-based editing to find your story, building string-outs and selects, and shaping interviews into a narrative that flows. Then we're catching up on the latest film news.
🔴 LIVE Thursday, October 8 at 10am PT
In this stream:
• Organizing bins, metadata, and markers for big projects
• Transcribing interviews and using text-based editing
• Building selects and string-outs
• Structuring your story in the timeline
• Cutting interviews with B-roll and archival footage
• Pacing, music, and emotional beats
• Film news roundup
Drop your documentary questions in the chat, we're answering live!
