Video Editing Systems

Rachel Shenton is a wedding video editor with 11 years in the game! We have very different workflows and it was a blast comparing and contrasting different editing workflows.  

Every editor has a unique approach to storytelling, pacing, music, color grading, and emotional impact. In this episode, Rachel and I compare our wedding film editing styles, discussing where our workflows overlap, where they differ, and why there isn't just one "right" way to edit a wedding film.

When I first thought about making a video editing podcast with comedy producer and best friend Brian T Licata, I immediately thought about discussing AI because we learned a lot about AI together. We ended up talking about everything but AI. Brian hosts several comedy podcasts. We discussed much of what we learned by working together about the video industry, freelancing business tactics and productive workflows. Brian is much more experienced than I am with podcasts. I learned so much in this episode and I can’t wait to have him on again.Follow Brian:Yo Dom - https://www.youtube.com/@YoDomRated G - https://www.youtube.com/@UCTvgYOddOU0AvbgjSFfbiMQ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/brianthevideoguy/https://www.briantlicata.com/Let's create together!www.devondennisstudios.comFollow me on IG!www.instagram.com/devondennisstudios
