What are the basic processes of video editing?

The basic operation links of video editing are:

1, familiar with the material, organize ideas.

After the editor gets the material shot in the early stage, he must read the whole material once or twice, be familiar with what the photographer shot in the early stage, and have a general impression of each material, so as to facilitate editing ideas in line with the script. After being familiar with the material, the editors need to combine these materials with the script and sort out the editing ideas, that is, the editing framework of the whole movie.

3, lens classification and screening

With the overall idea of editing, it is necessary to screen and classify the materials, and it is best to organize the series of shots of different scenes into different folders. This work can be done in the project management of editing software, and the classification is mainly to facilitate the management of the clips and materials behind.

4. Rough cut (complete frame and plot)

After sorting out the material, the next work is to edit the scene splicing according to the classified scenes in the editing software, select the appropriate lens to smoothly edit each scene, and then splice each scene in the way of script narration. So the structural editing of the whole film is basically completed.

5. Fine cutting (rhythm, atmosphere)

After determining the rough cut, the editor also needs to make a fine cut of the film. Fine cutting is to fine-tune the rhythm and atmosphere of the film, and to do subtraction and multiplication on the film. Subtraction is to trim long paragraphs without affecting the plot, making the film more compact, and multiplication is to further sublimate the emotional atmosphere and theme of the film.

6. Add music, subtitles, color matching and output the finished product.

The right soundtrack can add points to the film. The soundtrack is an important part of the whole film style, which has a great influence on the atmosphere and rhythm of the film, so a good soundtrack is very important for the film. After the film is edited, you need to add subtitles to the film and do special effects at the beginning and end of the film. Then it is necessary to make uniform color correction and style matching for the film, and finally render and output the edited film.
