● Editing: The process of rearranging, adding and/or removing sections of video clips.
Also, creating transitions between clips. Editing is part of post-production.
● Layering: Adding multiple layers of superimposed video.
● Linear Editing: Also known as tape to tape editing. A method of editing in which
footage is copied from one tape to another in the required order
● Non Linear Editing: An editing method which uses computer software to edit the
footage
● Transition: The way one shot changes to the next.
● Post Production: Everything that happens to the video and audio after production, i.e.

What is Video Editing
The process of :
I) transferring video and other materials into an editing system;
II) assembling sequences of pictures and sounds;
III) creating and adding titles, graphics, and effects to enhance the
show,
IV) adjusting and mixing the sounds, and
V) finally outputting the finished show back to video tape or other
media so audiences can see the results
WHY VIDEO EDITING?
Video editing is an essential part of the video production process and there are several reasons why it is
necessary. Here are some of the main reasons why we need to do editing:
To enhance the quality of the footage: Even with the best camera and lighting equipment, raw footage
may still need some adjustments to improve its overall quality. This can include color correction,
brightness adjustments, and noise reduction, among others.
To tell a story or convey a message: Video editing allows for the footage to be arranged in a specific
order that can help to tell a story or convey a message to the audience. This can involve selecting the
best shots, trimming and cutting unnecessary footage, and adding transitions to make the video flow
smoothly.
To add special effects: Video editing also allows for the addition of special effects, such as visual and
audio effects, that can enhance the overall impact of the video.

WHY VIDEO EDITING?
To ensure continuity: Video editing can help to ensure that there is continuity in the footage, such as
matching shots and maintaining a consistent style throughout the video.
To improve the pacing: Video editing can help to improve the pacing of the footage by removing any
slow or dull moments, adding music or sound effects, and adjusting the timing of the shots.
Overall, video editing is an important process that helps to turn raw footage into a polished and
professional final product that effectively communicates the intended message to the audience.
Reasons for Editing
Scriptwriting: This involves writing a detailed script that outlines the dialogue, actions, and
overall structure of the video.
Location scouting: This involves finding and securing suitable locations for filming, such as a
studio, outdoor locations, or specific buildings.
Casting: This involves selecting and hiring actors or presenters for the video.
Planning: This involves creating a detailed plan for the production, including scheduling,
budgeting, and logistics.
PRODUCTION
Filming:
This involves capturing the footage for the video using a
camera and lighting equipment.
Sound recording: This involves capturing the audio for
the video, including dialogue, sound effects, and music.
Directing: This involves guiding the actors or presenters
to ensure that the footage meets the requirements of the
script.
Camera operation: This involves operating the camera to
capture the footage from various angles and distances.
POST-
PRODUCTION
Post-production:
Editing: This involves manipulating and rearranging the
footage to create a polished final product, including
adding transitions, visual effects, and sound effects.
Color grading: This involves adjusting the color and
brightness of the footage to enhance its overall quality.
Audio mixing: This involves mixing the audio elements to
ensure that the sound is clear and balanced.
Final output: This involves exporting the final product in the
required format, such as for online streaming, DVD, or
broadcast.
Overall, each phase of video production plays an important
role in creating a high-quality final product that
effectively communicates the intended message to the
audience.
AUDIO
EDITING
Audio editing is the process of manipulating and
rearranging audio recordings to improve their
quality or to create a final product. It involves using
specialized software to cut, copy, and paste audio
clips, adjust the levels of different audio tracks,
remove unwanted background noise or clicks, and
add effects or filters.
AUDIO EDITING
PROCESS
Some common tasks involved in audio editing include:
Trimming and cutting audio: This involves removing unwanted sections
of audio or splitting audio files into smaller segments.
Adjusting audio levels: This involves adjusting the volume levels of
different audio tracks to balance the sound and make it easier to hear.
Adding effects and filters: This involves applying audio effects or filters,
such as reverb, equalization, or noise reduction, to improve the
quality of the audio.
Mixing audio: This involves combining multiple audio tracks, such as
music, voiceovers, and sound effects, into a final mix.
Synchronizing audio and video: This involves aligning the audio with the
corresponding video footage to ensure that they are in sync.
