Q3 PTC Day 25

6p - 7p

Gotta start w/ a meditation.

Should have done it earlier, but it's better to cut into work with it than not do it at all.  Mental Mastery must continue to progress.

Now, to Editing the Recordings (it is 6:10).

From last time:

"
First edits away!

I have everything organized and cut according to the time stamps I wrote down.

Now I just have to listen to them all.

Just think baby steps. 

Listen to 1 at a time and keep notes on your thoughts, so you know which parts are good and which parts need a replacement for each recording.

Then simply look at your notes and pair up the holes in one recording with the "good" comments from the other recordings.

How to Edit -- Notes -- 

Note 1:

IMPORTANT -- WHILE DOING THIS, DO NOT MOVE ANY SEGMENTS.  ONLY CUT AND DELETE EMPTY SPOTS OR BAD SEGMENTS YOU KNOW YOU WON'T USE.  THE CLIPS MUST REMAIN LINED UP UNTIL ALL NOTES ARE FINISHED AND THE EDITING PLAN HAS BEEN INITIATED.

Note 2:

Recordings are often going to have some sentences that are said more than once -- so there's double, triple, etc takes in the same recording.  In those cases, IT WILL BE SIMPLEST TO ONLY NOTE THE BEST TAKE.  Otherwise it can get very confusing in the table.

Also, the reason for most of these multi-takes is that I felt like the inital one felt shitty to begin with.  So usually note worth noting anyways.

If you want to keep it, multiple versions of the same thing will have a "**" note.

...And here we go...

Recording 1 - a041.2.full:
1:30:00 = 0

Timestamp	Text of Segment	Evalutation
0:30 - 0:48	start - never heard about before	SOLID
0:49 - 1:14	... - difficult days...	solid, but down tempo
1:14 - 1:19	...look, ur wasting time rsch ins right now...	GOOD, just maybe a little harsh
1:42 - 1:58	...all those pills - lifetime of refreshing sleep
	Copypasta this table to tomorrow's post (remove this part, obviously.)
**	This indictes multiple take / overlap of content

Wrap Up

Today was about creating an elegant system for organized efficient and effective editing.

VERY happy with this system, I can use this from now on!!

So in the future, when making videos:

1. Record several takes in 1 session so audio is consistent in edits.

2. Upload all to separate tracks and sinc up the tracks

3. Using a table of notes and with cuts on the editor, figure out what's good, what's bad, and what's ugly.

4.  THEN begin editing by dragging the good parts together on a separate track (NEVER UNSINC ORIGINAL TRACKS!!!)

:)

Now for the morning ritual review and calling Sarah.
