  • Live editing a multi-camera setup is 10x easier than post-editing it.
    • This is based on my experience in TV Productions in high school.
    • When you're editing it live, you are in it, you can't pay attention to anything else or you will lose focus.
      • You have to make good-enough decisions right then or fail.
    • But when you do it after the fact, you can get distracted, jump around, need to load back up context.
      • You're constantly pushing for just a little bit better with diminishing returns.
    • This is why I clip notes live and not after the fact.
      • I know that if I don't take them right then, I won't ever take them at all.
