In this video I break down my full workflow for editing a cinematic review video—from the way I think about the timeline to how I structure the story so it feels like a film, not just a spec sheet. I walk you through what my editing timeline looks like, how I organize clips, and how I pace the video so the “review” parts don’t kill the vibe. The goal is always the same: keep it informative, but make it feel like you’re watching something cinematic. I also talk about the stuff that happens before I even open the NLE—pre-production decisions that make the edit way easier, plus how I approach filming specifically for the edit (getting the right coverage, building sequences, and planning moments that support the voiceover). Then I do an editing breakdown of how I actually assemble the cut: building a strong spine first, layering b-roll and sound design, and polishing it so the rhythm carries you all the way to the end. If you’re trying to make review videos that look and feel premium, this is the exact process I use.
