Neat tips for video editing
Video editing is becoming more affordable over the years. At the same time, prices on editing hardware and software are coming down. That is why more and more people are using their personal computers to put there family videos, retirements, and home movies together.
Here are a few tips that can make your editing sessions more effective and less time consuming.
Before editing, understand what its for, and who is watching the video afterwards. Don't jump right into a video and start editing, try to know your audience, there is a difference in your edit between people watching a music video and a retirement video. Once you've decided who your target audience is, it is time to go through the content that you want to put into the video. Listen to the music you have, go through the video (you can fast forward) look at any pictures that you may recieve. Once you have an idea of the content you have, you may also want to look at similar edits that people have done in the past. It may give you some ideas of how you would like to edit your video.
Structuring your video is the next step. Perhaps on a peice of paper, or even on the timeline (that's what I do) I normally edit the most enjoyable parts first. Each video is different depending where you start. For example, if you have a music video, I would import the music first, and base everything towards the music, the cuts and effects would also be geared towards the music. If your working on a vacation video. Start with the first shot. I would pre-edit the video before doing the actual cutting. That means I would skim through all of the content and pick out only the good ones in fast forward mode. Since you've already seen it once you have a good idea of what you want. Once I have find the clips, I would start cutting the footage one shot at a time. If a shot lingers for too long, I would cut it to an appropiate lenth. I will go into further detail about the specific editing process in the future, but this article is to give you an idea about how to structure a cut. Hope it helps.
Have a good long weekend, and happy editing!
