When editing a rough cut, you’re defining
the general order and assembly of the vari-
ous elements in your sequence. It’s usually
a good idea to focus first on these big-
picture items and then go back to fine-tune
your sequence to get everything flowing
exactly the way you want it. Passing over
the sequence again to construct a fine cut
allows you to focus entirely on the timing of
shots and scenes. You can evaluate where
a sequence drags, where you may want to
add emphasis, and how you want to pace
the rhythm of shots. This is primarily done
via the important process of trimming.
