How many type are there? In my general thinking I say 2 primary types: The Storyboarder, and the Chaos Engine.
Everyone knows, Storyboarder: That editor that takes weeks/months planning every sequence to the music, rewatching possibly 100s of hours of anime to get it just right on paper, and then sets about assemby.
The Chaos Engine: The editor that has already seen every episode 100+ times and has a general idea what they want the video to look like, and set about assembling their video without the thought of writing it down. Selecting sceens on the fly as they scrub through the source.
Needless to say, they both can produce very good videos, and the opposite.
Me? Chaos Engine with a hint of Storyboarder. Is it an engineer trait?
