Tool-Driven Serendipity

he creative phenomenon where the specific features, limitations, or even bugs of an editing tool generate unexpected and valuable ideas that were not part of the editor's original intent. As articulated by Francis Ford Coppola, it's the process where trying one idea with a tool leads to 'yet another idea that wasn't anticipated.' This transforms the editing software from a passive recorder of decisions into an active collaborator in the creative process.
