Video editing is like being a fifth dimensional being
seeing the timeline and being able to manipulate time itself
being able to move pieces of things that play sequentially for the fourth dimensional viewer
You exist above that strict sequentiality
above forward moving time
you can see the end, the beginning, and everything in between
but the viewer must experience it moment to moment
DaVinci Resolve is the Tesseract
The past and future is already known
You must reorder the present to exist harmoniously
otherwise you run the risk of have an incomprehensible story
