What are the processes of video editing?

Video editing refers to the process of cutting, editing and synthesizing the original video, and processing the recorded material to form the final video product.

This process usually includes the following processes.

First, you need to be clear about the theme or content of the video. Before editing the video, we need to make clear the theme or content of the video and determine the form it needs to be presented. For example, documentaries, presentations, advertisements, personal short films, travel documentaries, etc. Determining the theme and content is very important for the selection and processing of the following materials.

Second, material selection. After determining the theme of the video, we need to filter the recorded material. For a complex subject, we need to collect a lot of materials to present all its details. However, the quantity of materials must be controlled within a reasonable range, otherwise it will easily affect the efficiency and quality of post-production.

Thirdly, pretreatment before editing. Before editing, we need to preprocess the collected materials. The first thing to do is to file the materials for further operation. Then the material is evaluated and the most representative material is selected to simplify the editing difficulty. After these processes are completed, you can choose the appropriate editing software for subsequent operations.

Fourth, make editing plans and timelines. Before editing, we need to make a detailed editing plan, including which materials need to be presented, which need to be deleted, how to arrange the timeline and so on. The whole plan needs to be carefully worked out to ensure long-term fluency and consistency.

Fifth, edit the material. After material screening and pretreatment, we need to edit the material. This step is the most important and time-consuming part of the whole workflow. The process of editing is to cut and synthesize the material in a specific order according to the editing plan to get the final video product.

Finally, the audio processing of video. After editing the final video, we need to process the audio of the video. This process usually includes denoising, adding sound effects, music and other operations. The main purpose of audio processing is to realize the harmonious effect of video and audio track, and make the whole video more vivid.

Another important step is film review, which is shared with all video critics through free film review platforms such as online film review, and everyone's opinions are summarized for sample modification.
