so i'm not sure what your workflow is but let me tell you what I do:

before I start the video editing, I've already recorded my script/voiceover so I have an idea of what video clips/still images I want to pull. then, I spend 1-2 hours going to youtube and google images grabbing material I need (I use youtube 4k downloader, it's an awesome freeware app for desktop). so this way, as I'm listening to my voiceover which is already in the timeline, I just drag and drop the relevant media in my media pool.

Inevitably I will need to go back and download more videos and images, but I would say this initial time I spend takes care of about 80% of the material.

I prepped the relevant clips beforehand. But there are a lot of parts I I feel I'm going to waste time because I have things to say but nothing insanely relevant to what I'm saying.

Like if I'm giving a definition of the word "trope" I don't know what that screen should look like. Just the definition I'm saying? If so what font? What background? Solid Color? Something dynamic?

Or if I'm talking about a movie as a whole what do I have as the background video so it's not distracting? Because other times my background videos are super important, but if I'm talking about the overall film, I don't have a relevant clip.
