THE PROBLEM

A 3-day corporate retreat just ended. Five cameras covered different tracks, main stage, breakout rooms, outdoor activities, meals, and candid moments. The CEO wants a chronological recap video for the all-hands meeting next week. It needs to feel like you were there, covering each day's key moments in order.

The first challenge is just sorting. Five cameras means five different timelines with overlapping coverage. Figuring out what happened when (and which camera had the best angle) is a puzzle before any editing starts. Then you need to select the moments that represent each part of the retreat without the video running too long.

Chronological recaps require organization more than creativity. The story structure is the event itself. What takes time is matching footage to the timeline and choosing which moments earn their place in the cut.
