Process

Edit

You might say: editing, post-production, cutting

Turning raw takes into the finished video in an editor (NLE): selecting, cutting, layering graphics, captions and sound, grading, and exporting.

What it does: Sets the final pace and clarity, and removes everything the viewer does not need.
Ask: What can I cut without losing the story?
Trouble: The video is longer than its content, or the viewer can see the seams.

What to look for

Rough cut: Editing in passes: assemble all the usable takes in order, cut to a rough version, refine to a fine cut, then lock the picture before sound and colour.
Jump cut: Cuts inside one continuous shot that remove pauses, mistakes and filler, so the subject seems to jump slightly.
Pacing: How fast the video moves: how long each shot lasts and how quickly new information arrives.
Pattern interrupt: A change on screen that resets attention: a zoom, a new angle, B-roll, a graphic or a sound.
Captions: The spoken words as text.
Motion graphics: Moving text, arrows, diagrams and zooms laid over the footage.
Colour grade: First correction (fix exposure and white balance so shots match), then grading (a chosen look).
Export settings: The file format the editor writes: container, codec, frame size, frame rate, bitrate and audio.
Master file: The finished, exported video file, plus a version for each platform’s shape and length.
