What is Video Editing?

Video editing is the process of manipulate and rearrange video shots to create a new work. Editing is usually considered to be one part of the post production process — other post-production tasks include titling, colour correction, sound mixing, etc.

The Goals of Editing

There are a lot of reasons to edit a video and your editing advance will depend on the desired outcome. Before you initiate you must clearly define your editing goals, which could include any of the following:

Remove unnecessary footage

This is the simplest and most common task in editing. Many videos can be considerably improved by simply getting rid of the flawed or unnecessary bits.

Choose the best footage

It is common to shoot far more footage than you actually need and choose only the best material for the final edit. Often you will shoot some versions (takes) of a shot and choose the best one when editing.

Create a flow

Most videos serve a purpose such as telling a story or given that information. Editing is a key step in making sure the video flows in a way which achieves this goal.

Add effects, graphics, music, etc

This is often the "WOW" part of editing. You can progress most videos (and have a lot of fun) by adding extra fundamentals.

Alter the style, pace or mood of the video

A good editor will be able to create subtle mood prompts in a video. Techniques such as mood music and visual effects can control how the audience will react.

Give the video a particular "angle"

Video can be tailored to carry a particular viewpoint, impart a message or serve an outline.
