You will learn the day-to-day workflows assistant editors use to keep an active production moving. By the end of this course, you'll ingest and organize daily footage using professional dailies workflows, and build string-outs and selects sequences that anticipate the editor's first move. You'll also create and manage proxy workflows, and batch exports in Adobe Media Encoder, and troubleshoot common technical issues like broken links, frame-rate mismatches, and sync problems.

This course picks up where project setup ends and daily production begins, simulating the pace and pressure of a real editorial workflow. You'll configure standardized audio track layouts, perform technical dialogue cleanup, place temporary music and sound elements, and maintain version control and changelogs that track editorial revisions. Through a continuous hands-on project, you'll practice the professional habits that make assistant editors dependable collaborators: anticipating what the editor needs, flagging problems early, and communicating clearly through handoff notes as footage arrives and the cut evolves.
