2-Hour Editing Workflow
Follow this order. Don't skip around. Each phase has a deadline.
| Time | Phase | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| 0:00–0:10 | Import & Organize | Import all footage. Rename: HOOK, EXT-1, INT-1, DRIVE-1, etc. Create folders per section. |
| 0:10–0:30 | Rough Cut | Drag footage to timeline in script order. Hook → Intro → Ext → Int → Drive → Honest → Verdict. Don't trim yet, just sequence. |
| 0:30–1:00 | Fine Cut | Cut the bad stuff. Remove long pauses, "um"s, bad angles. Pace: every shot max 5-8 seconds unless it's you talking. |
| 1:00–1:15 | Text & Graphics | Add car name, price, specs overlays. Use CapCut templates or simple text. Don't over-design. |
| 1:15–1:30 | Audio | Level voice: must be clear. Cut dead silence. If music: -20dB behind voice. Don't use copyrighted music. |
| 1:30–1:45 | Color & Polish | Brightness/contrast to taste. Don't over-filter. Make sure your face is clearly visible in all presenter shots. |
| 1:45–2:00 | Export & Upload | Export: 1080p, 30fps. Check the file plays correctly. Upload to the provided Drive. Verify upload succeeded. |
Deadline: Video must be uploaded to Drive before Day 2 at 9:00 AM WIB. If upload is slow, export early and upload from there. Don't wait until the last minute.
