I've written a monologue and had an actress film it with her friend/colleague over a day. Now I've downloaded Adobe Premiere Pro, naively thinking I could have a bash at editing it myself. Hey, it's only a load of videos of the same thing after all (!) and also because I wanted it done and dusted ASAP - like, this week...as cheaply as possible.

But, now I face the fact that, oh yeah, I have no clue how to edit video.

First question: Muticam editing - I have around 8 videos, of varying length (up to 10 mins)/different interior locations or shots, of the actress going through the whole monologue. I thought that I could edit this through the multi-cam editing, but I guess, cos they're not all filmed at the same time from different angles, this would be wrong then, right? It was just as I was picking a bit out of that video, a bit out of that one, then back to the first...

I may well plump for getting an editor to do it - was just going to try the cheaper options first.
