If post-production feels like chaos, this episode lays out the real secret: you win post in pre-pro and production. We cover why audio is 60% of the video experience, how to avoid the “fix it in post” trap, practical organization that nukes stress, and the systems pros use to keep peace under pressure.

You’ll learn:

• The #1 post-production secret (and why it’s not in your NLE)
• Pre-production habits that save days in post (tests, meters, shot lists, backups)
• Why ditching the giant podcast mic can improve performance on camera
• The exact organization pass before you edit (bins, proxies, relinks, autosave)
• Handling crashes, exports, and last-minute changes without panic

Tools & references mentioned: Sony Alpha, DJI Mic 3, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, light/color meters.
