Hi Erkki,

Read through this thread in which we discussed work flow amongst other things. I don't have time right now, but I was planning to update my work flow list.

I agree about VPX7, the new look is very pleasing to my eyes. The measuring instruments are a big plus.

Your method looks good, except for stabilization. You may want to edit first and leave stabilization towards the end as it may slow down the process, and you may be stabilizing parts of clips that you will cut out or that do not require it. Some judgement is required.

Remember that you can always copy or save effects (color, etc.) settings and apply them to several selected clips if you get stuck.

Somewhere in there you may need to allow for cleaning of some audio, even more than just what the in-built cleaning and Music Editor 3 allow. For example, a click or sudden noise can be cleaned up with Audio & Music Lab 2014 Premium by using the Spectral Cleaning tool. Then at the end you will need to clean up sound on clips and it may not be the same cleaning throughout your project. It may be expeditious to first clean the sound on a long clip that may be broken up into several objects. You can apply the effects once. Where there is combined sound (2 or more superimposed audio parts, like music and original audio) clean up each part separately as the original audio may require cleaning but not the music. At the end, you may need to do some ducking (volume adjustments of added music over narration or original audio) and then do a final touchup (mastering) of the overall sound. I usually export the completed sound to AML, fix it, including volume adjustments.

It would be interesting to get others to chime in here to compile an overall list of steps and methods.
