Working Backwards on Notes

counter-intuitive but highly effective method for addressing a list of edit notes from a director or client. By starting with the last note in the timeline and working towards the first, the editor avoids disrupting the timecode of subsequent notes, which would happen if changes that alter the timeline's length are made from the beginning. This preserves the integrity of the note list and saves significant time on re-spotting changes.
