The 7 Laws of Film Editing
1. THOU SHALT watch every frame of raw footage at least twice, the start.
(1st time to familiarize, then 2nd time to write notes.)
2. THOU SHALT nurture the relationship with the director.
3. THOU SHALT find any shot instantly. Organization is paramount.
4. THOU SHALT factor extra time for renders, exports, errors & crashes.
5. THOU SHALT attempt edits that shouldn't work. You'll be surprised.
6. THOU SHALT spend more time on audio. It's the glue of your edit.
7. THOU SHALT cut for the scene, but always in the context of the whole film.

Quick story to illustrate how big audio can be:
When I was a film student, ages ago, one of our projects was to edit a fight scene from the old TV show Gunsmoke. This is the early 90s, pre-digital, so we were editing film on Steenbecks.
Most of the edits came out alike, except mine. I used shots because they looked great, but some had bad recorded audio. One had a very loud bang when an actor fell into part of the set. So I worked with the audio track and fixed it. For that one shot I chopped out an impact sound from a different take and spliced it in. It let me use these great shots, and made my edit stand out from the rest. By the time I was done, my audio tape looked like it had been put through a shredder and been reassembled, but it sounded smooth.
That decision saved my edit and got me a good grade on it.

This short clip has actually made me appreciate film again. Haven't really watched films for a couple of years (college eating up all my energy resources), and this has given me a strong desire to dig some of my old favourites out. This has given me an appreciation for what these crews are able to do.

As an Emmy nominated editor and having spent 50 years in the Network TV trenches..from Ampex quads, CMX, Avid, DaVinci and the Edit Droid etc. This little instructional clip was brilliant and right on the money. Thanks for your input Vashi..I'm sure all the new comers to this important and critical cinematic art form known as "Editing", will find this extremely helpful. So with all that being said...I just had to drop this:
TOP TEN LIES EDITORS TELL THEIR PRODUCERS:
10. It's just a preview glitch
9. It's out of the safe area, you'll never see that on the air
8. It won't really look like that
7. I'll fill out the paperwork tomorrow
6. Why no, I don't mind working on Saturday
5. Oh, don't go by THAT monitor
4. It works better as a cut!
3. That glitch is on the source tape
2. I?ll have all your changes done by the end of the day
1. No, I agree. It?s much better that way.

This is actually some of the best editing I've seen in an educational video. You turned a phone interview into an engaging, concise lesson. Beautiful demonstration of the topic!
