I've just started doing a roughly 20ft drag track,took me 5 minutes to record but over an hour to edit. Hope to cut that time down

That's a pretty common ratio of filming to editing, depending on the final output you want. It's not unusual for my 8-10 minute videos to take 3-4 hours of editing and about 20-30 mins of filming.
- you are SO much better than me...lol I have a new goal! thanks for what ya do! — dr_dodge
- It is taking me a bit longer at the moment as I’m learning davinci resolve as premiere pro had some annoying bugs that I got sick of. Also the first video in a series always takes twice as long as I decide on style of graphics, creating scoreboards etc but the subsequent ones tend to go faster — Chaos_Canyon
my record so far is 2 cameras, 22 min ea, 44 total
for under 6 minutes of video,
not counting audio tracks, which can be numerous

For me the standard is 1 hr of editing for every 1min of footage. A 12 min video is at the very least 12 hours of editing. I have 4 cams. But I may also be slow. The more you do the faster you get and more comfortable you get. Best of luck
- Same. 1 min of video = about 1 HR editing. — JBlotner42
- plus audio, the more elaborate you get with that, (music/vo/sound effects) it really seems to add time — dr_dodge

Nice video. With all of those staging pics, multi cam shots, overlay text, etc, I can understand why it would take awhile. Editing is to video production as prepwork is to a paintjob. Keep sanding till its perfect!
