Way back at the beginning of the year, almost six months ago, I began a renovation of my garage and recorded the whole thing. For parts of it, I set up a camera and microphone, framed the shots that I wanted, and was very mindful of what I was documenting. In addition to all of that footage, though, I also have hours and hours and hours of 360º footage because at that time, I would take my Insta360 One X with me wherever I went, and just let it record. Until I broke it, that is.

I have so much footage that I couldn’t even import it all into the sequence. I tried, but discovered that Premiere has a limit of 24 hours in any sequence. Once I found that out, I just imported the first week and started trimming the fat. This is my least favorite part of the editing process, but it’s even worse with this video because there is so much footage, I feel like I’ll never get through it.

Some of it’s cool to look back on because it’s a record of what was going on in my life back in January 2025, which was the whole point of taking the camera with me everywhere I went, but it makes the editing process extremely tedious.

I’ve deleted several hours of footage already, but I still have twelve to go through. Then, I have two more weeks’ worth of footage to import and trim, at which point I can finally begin editing.
