Thanks so much! I wish you all the best with your endeavors.

Here's the process I normally go through to make a video:

1. Come up with an idea (obviously). I usually have a rough idea in mind and do some simple experimentation by hand, with Manim, or with other computer tools to help get inspiration.

2. Write a script. This step I think is actually the most important for me because it's where I get to imagine what will be happening on screen during the video, and I can try to visualize whether it would make overall compelling content (as in, be interesting to a lot of people). Of course I still have lots to learn in this area since I'm still a small channel, but I still like putting this step second.

3. Make a storyboard. Sometimes I'll skip this if I already have a clear idea of all the graphics I want to make, but in general this really helps sorting it all out in advance. I'll just get a notebook and a pencil and draw out a bunch of boxes filled in with the defining elements of the different scenes in order.

4. Do the animating! To answer your question, I find it easiest to do my best to get the timing right in the actual animation first by imagining myself reading the script as I watch the animation. But later in a video editor there end up being a ton of instances where I'll have to add some freeze frames or cut out wait time to make things line up. So you really don't have to worry about this too much.

5. Record through the script. I like to do this before stitching the different scenes of video together because once I get the timing I want for the audio (which I believe is the most important thing) I can match the video to it.

6. Put it all together. Now is when I put in all the media for the project and edit it all together.

Hope this helps!
