Video editing is one of the most important components of the entire video and film production industry. It is no coincidence that there is an Academy Award category for editing in film, and it can drastically alter and improve the quality of the entire project. Editing is the assembly of clips filmed placed in the order on a video editing software’s timeline specified by the director to tell a story.

The difference editing can make
Imagine videotaping a wedding with no editing whatsoever. You’ll have a finished product that looks like any home movie and can’t become much more than something to amuse family members with. It might be all over the place with no flow at all and that starts and stops anytime the event calls for a change in location or angle.
Now imagine you’ve had a professional editor have a go at the wedding video. After the video is properly edited, it flows, doesn’t waste time panning from shot to shot because it cuts to different shots and locations seamlessly and it even might include voiceovers and separate interviews with family, who can reminisce about the couple and how they met. Now, it’s a keepsake that can be offered to anyone who attended the event for a small price. And, thanks to the professional video editing – they’ll be happy to pay for it.
Imagine what this editing process can do in the professional film production industry or for those producing videos for distribution. The editing process allows for the best possible outcome of a film or video, and it allows the creators to ensure that the finished product is as it was intended.
Editing also serves to preserve continuity throughout a shoot as well as help strengthen the integrity of the story.
Professional film editing
The film editing process has come a long way and is no longer done by people sitting in a dark room cutting and slicing film together. Much more efficient and valuable editing can be done now on computers where unwanted shots can be removed, audio retouching is completed, transitions are added and effects, credits and titles are incorporated.
Professional video editing will add a serious sense of professionalism to any project and turn your video production into a valuable product, whether it’s an instructional video, an interview, a seminar, and educational video, a marketing video, a testimonial, a presentation or a theatrical video.
