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.Slide2
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:Slide3
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.Slide4
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:Slide5
The Goals of Editing
Remove unwanted footageThis 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.Slide6
The Goals of Editing
Choose the best footageIt 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.Slide7
The Goals of Editing
Create a flowMost 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.Slide8
The Goals of Editing
Add effects, graphics, music, etcThis is often the "wow" part of editing. You can improve most videos (and have a lot of fun) by adding extra elements.Slide9
The Goals of Editing
Alter the style, pace or mood of the videoA 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.Slide10
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.Slide11
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. Slide12
Adobe Premiere CC WorkspaceSlide13
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. Slide14
Adobe Premiere CC WorkspaceSlide15
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.Slide16
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.Slide17
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.Slide18
The Program Monitor
The right screen is the
program monitor
which shows you the active timeline.Slide19
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.Slide20
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.Slide21
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.Slide22
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.Slide23
The Media Browser
The Media Browser is where you get the footage or photos that you will import into your Project Window.Slide24
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. Slide25
