Video Editing Workflow

Hi everyone,

I got my first AI workflow client: my wife! She's a food blogger who loves writing and content creation but isn't a fan of video editing. I figured this was a good excuse to build a fully custom workflow for her business instead.

I've started on the folder structure, but one thing I haven't gone deep on yet is plugins and open-source components (specifically, making sure anything downloaded and use is safe and secure).

Would love advice on:

Building a video editing workflow - tips or things to avoid
Handling raw footage intake - recommended tools and/or best practices for ingesting iPhone footage and reliably producing multiple platform-specific cuts (different aspect ratios, lengths, pacing) without manual re-editing for each platform
Vetting open-source plugins - what's your process for evaluating a plugin or library before it touches a client's raw media? (checking maintainers, license, recent commits, sandboxing, etc.)

Thanks in advance!
