3 editing shortcuts that cut my workflow time in half
Most editors waste hours on stuff that should take minutes. Here's what changed for me:
1. Pre-built adjustment layers
Instead of grading every clip from scratch, I built a stack of adjustment layers I drop on top. Color, contrast, grain โ done in seconds.
2. Macro keybinds for repetitive cuts
If you're still right-clicking to ripple delete, you're leaving time on the table. Set up macros for your 5 most common actions.
3. Template timelines
Every video type I make (short-form, long-form, BTS) has a pre-built timeline template. I just drag footage in and start cutting.
I packaged all of these into my workflow pack if you want the actual files. But even if you don't โ start building your own system. Speed compounds.
