Interview Editing HACK I Wish I Knew Earlier!

At some point in your filmmaking career you’ll be asked to film interviews. Which requires editing down a long video clip of loose points into a short cohesive story. This tedious skillset is learned overtime, but even though I’ve editing hundreds of interviews diving into an edit it can still be a daunting task especially for those starting out it. But I recently came across an editing technique that has saved me time and energy that I use to spend early on in the process. And now I’m able to speed up my editing workflow by beginning my project with this technique. And frankly I wish I knew this earlier!

Do you edit interviews? If so, do you think this technique will help your workflow?

[@focusmedia2465]

Definitely useful, thanks for this tip! I just sent a video to a client yesterday with timecode and asked them to tell me what they want to cut down from their 20min video to get it down to 5 minutes and having this transcription will definitely help them expedite that process. I’m going to send them the transcription today. Thanks again!

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Nice! I’ve never worked that way with a client before, but yes! That transcription will be super helpful for them! Checks for spelling errors before hand and you’ll be good to go. Glad it was helpful!

[@wearebrandonandfiona]

Came across this by accident right as I am putting together an interview video. Super helpful! Thank you for sharing this trick!

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Sweet! Glad it was helpful

[@ayudamelocx]

Nate I hope the algorithm gets you were you deserve. Thank you!!! And please if you get a brand deal (ads/products), please share something as useful as your content.
I'm learning a lot with your channel, have a good day amigo

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Thanks for the kind words, it means a lot! I’m curious, what topics on filmmaking would you like to see more of?

[@ayudamelocx]

@@NatesFilmTutorials Well, personally I always try to look for lighting tricks or just filmmaking tips/tricks in general. I found you on reddit, someone posted your lighting with mirrors tutorial, it's original and affordable.

[@elainegracepepito4673]

thanks for this.

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

You are welcome!

[@clayandsteel]

This is excellent advice!! Thank you

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Glad it’s helpful!

[@WHITEPERSUAS1ON]

Yo. That's sick. Thanks for the tip

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Glad you found it useful!

[@originalsuki]

You could have taken the 10 seconds to show us HOW to do it. This is kinda like: Need to to build a house? Use a hammer! Thanks, g'night! :)
I had to go to another youtube vid for the specifics

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Can you clarify? Do you mean you'd like to see it done in realtime like a step by step guide? I feel all the information is there you can see how I use it in the video

[@Jordz711]

@@NatesFilmTutorials I felt the same. Based on the overview you gave, this is a super handy technique. That being said, I have no idea how to do what you explained in the video.

[@OGEVERYDAY]

It's THE best tool. : )

[@fatchmc8510]

What is the transcription tool you are using here?

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Just the one built into premiere

[@riccardosforza]

Cheers!! 🎉

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Thanks Riccardo!

[@hellolaurabee]

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Ah bummer! We definitely need that soon!
