Standard Operating Procedures

Edit faster. Ship better.

Step-by-step workflows for video editors and motion designers. Use these SOPs to standardize your process.

📁

Project Setup & Organization

Standard workflow for setting up After Effects and Premiere Pro projects with proper folder structure, naming conventions, and file management.

  1. 1 Create project folder with date prefix (YYYY-MM-DD_ProjectName)
  2. 2 Set up subfolders: Footage, Audio, Graphics, Exports, project files
  3. 3 Import footage and organize into bins by type
  4. 4 Create main composition at delivery resolution (1920x1080 or 3840x2160)
  5. 5 Set frame rate to match delivery (24fps, 30fps, or 60fps)
  6. 6 Save versioned project files (v01, v02, etc.)
🎬

Animation Workflow

Step-by-step process for creating smooth, professional animations using QuickBar Pro tools and standard easing practices.

  1. 1 Block out key poses first (hold, pass, settle)
  2. 2 Apply easy ease to all keyframes (F9)
  3. 3 Open QuickFlow graph editor to fine-tune curves
  4. 4 Adjust spatial and temporal interpolation
  5. 5 Add secondary motion (overshoot, follow-through)
  6. 6 Preview at full speed and adjust timing
  7. 7 Use QuickBar Pro alignment tools for final positioning

Color Grading Pipeline

Consistent color grading workflow from LOG footage to final delivery using adjustment layers and LUTs.

  1. 1 Apply camera LUT to normalize LOG footage
  2. 2 Create adjustment layer for primary corrections
  3. 3 Set exposure, contrast, and white balance
  4. 4 Create second adjustment layer for creative grade
  5. 5 Apply QuickBar Pro color presets or custom LUTs
