thumbnails of content about video editing with claude

A standard interview setup is deceptively fiddly to edit. A wide camera, a close-up camera, and a separate recorder for the good audio, because the in-camera sound never cuts it.

Before you can make a single creative decision, you have to line all three up. Match the clap or the waveform. Hope the cameras did not drift over a long take. Then decide, for every answer, whether you are on the wide or the close, and keep the clean recorder audio underneath the whole time. It is twenty minutes of housekeeping before the edit even starts, every single time.
