Lately, there’s been a lot of discussion around improving creative workflows using visual tools, especially when it comes to short-form video content. While working with video editor one challenge that stands out is organizing ideas before actually starting the edit—things like sequencing clips, planning transitions, or aligning text overlays. So need some opinions like do you use diagramming or whiteboarding tools from Lucid Software to plan video content? Does visual planning actually streamline editing, or does it feel like an extra layer of work?

We sometimes use it in order to sketch scenarios, but this is mostly used for “light version” of moodboards and color grading ides, as well as collection of the effects we want to achieve with the final work.

Tbh this approach is used from time to time, as sometimes delivery is quite quick.
