Re: Picture before Music - or vice versa

Interesting topic....I guess there is no right or wrong way...

For me usually the situation dictates the process. My preference is that if the music choice and VO is locked in early(which is rare), I'll lay down the music and VO first. Then I'll go through and throw in some rough add-edits on the blank video track. Then I'll start throwing in the video.

Normally for me, VO and music is the last thing is finalized so I'll try to get a rough pace going in my edit, but try to edit the rough cut loose enough to make it easier for me to make changes.

LOL once the producers, clients etc start making last minute changes everything gets thrown out the window anyways :)
