STEAL MY TIMELINE LAYOUT
The Track Setup I Use on Every Film & TV Project
The exact track system I build before making a single cut, developed over years of editing films & scripted TV shows for Netflix, Apple TV+, AMC, and more. No theory. No guesswork. Just the layout that keeps me fast, organized, and sane under pressure.
Meet Joaquin
Hello, I’m Joaquin Elizondo, a film & scripted TV editor and ACE member. You might recognize my work from projects like The Abandons, Griselda, Dark Winds, Narcos: Mexico, and The Hot Zone: Anthrax.
I created this layout guide because nobody teaches you this stuff in school. You figure it out over years of being in the cutting room…show after show, project after project. This is the track system I actually use every time I start a new project and I want you to have it.
