How to edit your pro videos without wasting time?

Our 3 keys to fast, efficient video editing

Does editing always seem to take longer than expected? Good news: there are simple methods for getting straight to the point. Here are our 3 keys to greater efficiency without loss of quality.

Preparing your project in advance

Quick editing starts even before you open the software:

• Draw up a mini-scenario, storyboard or sequence plan.
• List your requirements (images, voice-over, music, subtitles).
• Set the target duration (30 sec for networks, 2-3 min for a tutorial, etc.).

This preparation avoids unnecessary to-ing and fro-ing, or stumbling over a need you hadn't identified.

Choosing the right format from the start

Horizontal for YouTube, vertical for TikTok/Instagram, square for LinkedIn/Facebook... Each platform has its own codes.
By defining the format before shooting, you'll save time when editing.

Optimize your video editing workflow

A clear workflow is the key:

1. Import and sort files.
2. Cut out useful sequences.
3. Add titles/subtitles and graphics.
4. Export directly in the correct format.

With a tool like Yuzzit, these steps are automated or simplified, drastically reducing the time spent.

Essential time-saving tools and functions

Quick video editing software

Professional software such as Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut are powerful... but often too complex for non-expert teams.

If you're looking for a tool designed for speed and simplicity, Yuzzit is an excellent option:

• Intuitive interface, with no learning curve.
• Quick and easy to cut.
• Online editing, accessible from any browser.

Automate subtitles and multi-format exports

Subtitling a video manually can take hours. Modern tools now include automatic subtitle generation, which can be corrected in just a few clicks.

What's more, some programs, like Yuzzit, allow you to export in several formats (vertical, square, horizontal) without having to start all over again.

Ready-to-use templates and libraries

Using predefined templates (intros, outros, transitions) saves an enormous amount of time while maintaining visual consistency. No need to start from scratch for each project: you can apply your graphic elements in just a few clicks, and your videos retain their professional identity.

Even better is to use a solution that offers a customizable library where you can store your logos, color palettes, music and credits. Every member of the team has easy access to the right elements, and your videos remain perfectly aligned with your graphic charter, even if they're mass-produced.

Tips for optimizing your video editing

Recycle and reuse your content

You don't have to create everything every time:

• Turn a webinar into several vignettes.
• Cut an interview into excerpts for social networking.
• Reuse your best videos by adapting them to today's formats.

Work in batches to go faster

Instead of editing one video after another, group your projects together:

• Import several videos at once.
• Apply the same templates or subtitles.
• Export in series.

Use shortcuts and simple automations

Even on simplified tools, learn a few keyboard shortcuts. This can cut your editing time by 20-30%.

Quick video editing: a business essential

And if you're still looking for a few arguments to convince your managers to adopt a solution, here are a few useful points. 

Video, an essential marketing tool

Today, 91% of companies already use video as a marketing tool(source: Wyzowl). It's an engaging, attention-grabbing format that encourages conversions.

The problem of time and limited resources

For an SME or a marketing department, producing a video can quickly become a headache: complex software, long rendering times, limited technical resources. Time-consuming editing can even discourage some teams.

The risks of video editing that takes too long

• Missing trends or news (especially on TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts).
• Take up too much time and energy at the expense of other tasks.
• Lose communication consistency through lack of regularity.

That's why it's so important to set up a fast, efficient video editing workflow.

Producing video content no longer has to be a chore. By preparing your projects well, optimizing your workflow and using the right tools, you can achieve fast, efficient video editing... even without being an expert.

With a solution like Yuzzit, you not only save time, but also ensure that your videos are distributed regularly and professionally.
