Video editor full layout for my short comic video

My last few steps in the creation process were in a slightly different order than the class directed, partly because my video is a different format from the detective story (mine uses more full motion animation, not just lip sync of still frames), and partly from my own preference. Because I used full motion animation with often contiguous action shots, it regularly happened that the final frame of one video became the start frame of the next video, meaning that I had to do a lot of the production chronologically rather than top-down. The other difference is that I like to do SFX before music. This is because I see SFX as a vital part of the scene, while music is a spice. So I balance SFX and dialog volume perfectly first, then add music appropriately. Just my preferred work order. To show what the final production layout looks like in my video editor, I attached a screenshot.
