Editorial Handoff

Carry Approved Shots into the Edit

Keep shot order, source files and sound references clear as you hand work to an editor. The timeline shown is an illustration, not an Astorie interface or proof of a native project export.

Illustrative editing timeline with balloon shots and audio tracks; not a software screenshot or verified export.

How to Prepare an NLE Handoff

  1. 1

    Lock the selected shots

    Keep the approved clip for each shot and name versions so the editor can identify them.

  2. 2

    Check the current export choices

    Inspect available file or sequence options in the canvas and confirm frame rate, dimensions and audio needs for the project.

  3. 3

    Finish in the editor

    Import the material into your NLE, verify links and timing, then handle trimming, grade, sound and delivery there.

What to Include with the Handoff

Source and Versions

Technical Notes

Record the properties shown by the actual export and the settings required by the finishing project.

Inputs, Output and Review
