I can shape most footage into something that flows now. But some projects are just a pile of pieces that refuse to add up to anything, and I sit in the dark scrubbing back and forth for hours looking for the thread. Everyone thinks it's already in there waiting. Sometimes I stare at it until the shapes stop meaning anything at all.
More people experience this than they realize.
You can edit most projects, but finding the story hidden in stubborn footage still trips you.
If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
