What is Video Editing?
Video editing is the process of manipulating and rearranging 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, color
correction, sound mixing, etc.
What is Video Editing?
Many people use the term editing to describe all their post-production work,
especially in non-professional situations. Whether or not you choose to be picky about terminology is up to you. In this
tutorial we are reasonably liberal with our terminology and we use the word editing to
mean any of the following:
What is Video Editing?
➢Rearranging, adding and/or removing sections of video clips and/or audio clips. ➢Applying color correction, filters and other enhancements. ➢Creating transitions between clips.
The Goals of Editing
There are many reasons to edit a video and your editing approach will depend on the desired outcome. Before you begin, you must clearly define your
editing goals, which could include any of the following:
The Goals of Editing
Remove unwanted footage This is the simplest and most common task in editing. Many
videos can be dramatically improved by simply getting rid of the
flawed or unwanted bits.
The Goals of Editing
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 several versions (takes) of
a shot and choose the best one when editing.
The Goals of Editing
Create a flow Most videos serve a purpose such as telling a story or providing information. Editing is a crucial step in making sure
the video flows in a way which achieves this goal.
The Goals of Editing
Add effects, graphics, music, etc This is often the "wow" part of editing.
You can improve most videos (and have a lot of fun) by adding extra elements.
The Goals of Editing
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 influence how the
audience will react.
The Goals of Editing
Give the video a particular "angle" Video can be tailored to support a
particular viewpoint, impart a message or serve an agenda.
The Adobe Premiere Workspace
The screenshot on the next slide shows the default workspace. This workspace can be customized in many ways — you can rearrange the panels and use specialist panels for different tasks (audio mixing, titles, etc). For now, we will stick to the default workspace.
Adobe Premiere CC Workspace
The Adobe Premiere Workspace▪ This workspace is divided into 5 panels & 5 tabs that we use: ▪ The project panel, where you store all the elements which
make up your edited video (video clips, audio clips, graphics, titles, etc). ▪ The monitor panel, where you view video clips and the result
of your edits. ▪ The Media/Effects Browser, which allows you to choose
media to edit and SFX to add to the timeline. ▪ The timeline panel, where you arrange the elements of your
video in the desired order. ▪ The tools panel, where you can select various editing tools to
use in the timeline.
Adobe Premiere CC Workspace
The Project Panel
▪ The project panel is where you store all the elements needed to create your finished video. It can
contain individual video clips, audio clips, titles, photos and graphical images. When you import new items they appear
automatically in the project panel.
▪ The project panel also contains sequences, which include all the
data in a particular timeline.
The Monitor Panel
▪ The monitor panel is where you view video clips and edited video sequences. Controls under each monitor allow you to
scroll through the video and set edit points. ▪ In the top right corner of the monitor panel is a fly-out menu
containing numerous additional viewing options, including technical monitors.
The Source Monitor!
The left screen is the source monitor, which allows you to preview
clips and make adjustments before adding them to the
timeline.
The Program Monitor
!!
The right screen is the program monitor
which shows you the active timeline.
The Timeline Panel
The timeline panel is where your video takes shape. By dragging items from the project panel or source monitor and placing them in the desired order, you create a sequence of
clips and events which play in the timeline from left to right.
The Timeline Panel
With items in the timeline, you can: ➢Adjust edit points, making clips shorter or longer, or stretch them over time. ➢Create multiple layers of video, e.g. titles, superimposed images, etc. ➢Create multiple layers of audio, e.g. voiceovers, music, etc. ➢Add transitions, filters, special effects, etc.
The Current Time Indicator
!The Current Time Indicator (CTI) is a
yellow triangular indicator which shows you where you are in the
timeline. CTIs are used in several different panels.
Many tasks depend on the position of the CTI, for example:
▪ Pasting clips into the sequence. ▪ Adding markers to a clip or
sequence. ▪ Razor at Current Time Indicator
(CTRL-K): This splits any unlocked clips at the point where the CTI is positioned.
The Effects Panel!
Drag video and audio effects and transitions from this panel to the timeline. Effects and
transitions can then be modified with the effect
control panel.
The Media Browser
!The Media Browser is
where you get the footage or photos that
you will import into your Project Window.
The Toolbox
▪ The toolbox contains common tools used for editing clips in the
timeline. Click on any of the buttons (or use the keyboard
shortcuts) to select each tool. The default tool is the selection tool.
▪ When you select a tool, the mouse pointer will usually change to a new icon to represent the tool when held over the timeline panel.
In some cases, you can change the behavior of a tool by holding down a modifier key such as the
Shift key.
