🪜Step-by-Step Workflow

Here is a step-by-step workflow showing you exactly what we’re talking about😉.

🧠 Step 1: Think in Layers

• Picture the timeline as a "street" you're building in stages, rather than trying to perfect each part right away.
• This will help you gradually shape the edit, creating a workable timeline early on for easier adjustments.
