EDITING
 VIDEO EDITING

Video editing is the process of manipulating

and rearranging video shots to create a new
work. Editing is usually considered to be
important part of the post production process
— other post-production tasks include
titling, color correction, sound mixing, etc.
• It is a process of rearranging footage to
convey the story in effective manner.
• What editor/director see by mind’s eyes, do
on editing table to tell the story.
• In editing, we play with time and space, and
complete the package as desired.
• In a package/film present scene has a
relation to previous while next scene has a
relation with present one.
• The point at which one shot is surrendered
and a new shot begins is called the edit
point.
 The Goals of Editing:
There are many reasons to edit a video .
➢Remove unwanted footage
➢Choose the best footage
➢Create a flow
➢Add effects, graphics, music, etc
➢Alter the style, pace or mood of the video
➢Give the video a particular "angle”
 The Rules of Video Editing
• Cuts direct the eye’s attention and transfer
attention from one image to next.
• Cuts are seamless, so that one shot transitions to
the other smoothly without drawing any
unnecessary attention or distractions;
• Cuts happen at a logical point in the shot,
maintaining continuity;
• Matching action from one shot to the other also
creates the illusion of one continuous motion;
 The Rules of Video Editing….
• The sense of screen direction must be
maintained so as not to confuse the
viewer’s mental map of the scene (left-
to-right, or right-to-left patterns must
be maintained);
• The types of shots (wides, mediums,
close-ups) should be varied, to create
a dynamic sequence
The Rules of Video Editing….

•The pacing of the shots should also be

varied to create moods or atmospheres;
•The length of the shot is determined by
the amount of information it contains.
Once this information is conveyed, it’s
no longer necessary to linger on the
shot.

Online Editing

In some situations multiple cameras and other video sources

are routed through a central mixing console and edited in
real time. Live television coverage is an example of live
editing.
Offline Editing

Video and audio data are first digitized to hard disks or

other digital storage devices. The data is either recorded
directly to the storage device or is imported from another
source.
Linear Editing

➢Linear editing was the original

method of editing electronic video
tapes, before editing computers
became available in the 1990s.

➢In linear editing, video is selectively

copied from one tape to another.

➢starting with the first shot and

working through to the last shot.
ASSEMBLE Mode

➢ It is assumed that there is nothing

recorded on the edited videotape
after the selected edit point.

➢ Each new sequence is edited onto

the end of the previous sequence
until the tape is completed.

➢ No picture of sound which might

already have been on the tape is
used.
There are two types of Assemble Editing:
A Roll- Editing from a single source, with the option
of adding an effect, such as titles or transitioning
from a frozen image the start of the next cut or
scene.
A/B Roll- Editing from a minimum of two source
VCR's or Camcorders and recording to a third VCR.
This technique requires a Video Mixer and/ or Edit
Controller to provide smooth transitions between
the sources. Also, the sources must be
electronically "Sync'd" together so that the record
signals are stable. The use of a Time Base
Corrector or Digital Frame Synchronizer is
necessary for the success of this technique.
INSERT Mode

It is assumed that material already on the tape is to be

retained.

New material is inserted into old. Not all of the signals

during the edit need to be replaced.

The operator sets the editing machine to change the

picture or either of the sound channels or any combination
of the three.
Linear Video Editing (Tape to Tape) Equipments:
❖ Two VCRs (video tape machines), preferably with
AV (audio and video) outputs. If you don't have AV
outputs, you can use the RF (aerial) outputs instead.
❖ At least one video monitor, but preferably two.
Professional monitors are best but you can use
televisions if necessary. Connecting cables.
❖ Edit Controller.
❖ graphics generator- Adding titles and other effects
in linear editing normally requires specialized
equipment.
Video tape recorder:
A video tape recorder (VTR), is a tape recorder that
can record video material. The video cassette recorder
(VCR), where the videotape is enclosed in a user-
friendly videocassette shell, is the most familiar type
of VTR known to consumers. Professionals may use
other types of video tapes and recorders.

Edit Controller :-
• This is a device which
connects to and controls
the source and record
machines.
❖ The controls on the left
(above and including the
jog/shuttle ring) control the
source machine.

❖The corresponding controls on the right are for the

record machine (notice the addition of a red record
button).
❖The controls in the middle are for various edit
options such as marking in/out points, etc.
Digital/Computer (Non-linear)
➢In this method, video footage is recorded (captured) onto a
computer hard drive and then edited using specialized
software.
➢flexible method which allows you to make changes to any
part of the video at any time.
➢non-linear editing is more difficult to learn than linear.
Non-Linear Video Editing Equipment

❖ source device
❖ computer
❖ video capture device- To
capture video from an
analogue source (such as VHS
Video8, or Mini DV) you need a
device to convert the video
into a digital format.
❖ Firwire: If you are using a
source device which outputs
a digital signal (such as
Firewire or USB) you don't
need a capture device, but
you do need to make sure
your computer has the
appropriate input available.

❖ Connecting (Firewire) leads to plug the source

device into the capture device or computer.
❖ Software to control the capturing, editing and
outputting.
❖ video monitor (or television).
 Workflow overview
Whether you’re using Adobe Premiere Pro
to edit video for broadcast, DVD, or the
web, you’re likely to follow a similar
workflow.
Premiere Pro workflow
1. Start or open project
2. Capture and import assets
3. Assemble and refine sequence
4. Add titles
5. Add transitions and effects
6. Mix audio
7. Export
Start or open a project
Open an existing project, or start a new one from
the Adobe Premiere Pro Quick start screen.
When starting a new project, you can specify the
video standard and format of sequences.
 Capture and import assets
• Capture and import
video and audio
• Using the Capture
panel, transfer
footage directly from
a DV camera or deck.
• With the proper
hardware, you can
digitize and capture
other formats, from
VHS to HDV.
Each file you capture to your hard disk
automatically becomes a clip in your
project.
 Assemble and refine sequence
Using the Source
Monitor, you can
view clips, set
edit points, and
mark other
important frames
before adding
clips to a
sequence.
You can view audio as a detailed waveform
and edit it with sample-based precision.
 Add titles
Using the Adobe
Premiere Pro full-
featured Titler, create
stylish still titles, title
rolls, or title crawls
that you can easily
superimpose over
video.
If you prefer, you can modify any of a wide
range of provided title templates.

As with any clip, you can edit, fade, animate,

or add effects to the titles in a sequence.
 Add effects
• The Effects panel includes an extensive
list of transitions and effects you can
apply to clips in a sequence.
• You can adjust these effects, as well as a
clip ’ s opacity and motion, using the
Effect Controls panel.
• The Effect Controls panel also lets you
animate a clip ’ s properties using
traditional keyframing techniques.
Add transitions
As you adjust transitions, the Effect
Controls panel displays controls designed
especially for that task. Alternatively,
you can view and adjust transitions and a
clip’s effect keyframes in the Timeline panel.
 Mix audio
• For track-based
audio adjustments,
the Audio Mixer
faithfully emulates a
full-featured audio
mixing board,
complete with fade
and pan sliders,
sends, and effects.
•
 Export
• Deliver your edited sequence in the media of your
choice: tape, DVD, or movie file. With the DVD Layout
panel, you can produce a DVD complete with
navigational menus all from within Adobe Premiere
Pro. And using the Adobe Media Encoder, even formats
with extensive options
• MPEG1, MPEG2, and formats for delivery
 Using tools

The Tools panel contains a number of tools for editing

sequences in the Timeline panel. When you select a tool,
the pointer generally changes shape according to your
selection.
 A. Selection tool
• The Selection tool is the default tool. It’s
used for everything other than specialized
functions. If the program isn’t responding as
you expect, make sure that the Selection
tool is selected. ( Shortcut key -V)
 B. Track Selection tool
• The Track Selection tool icon may
select the track which you want
• ( Shortcut key -M)
 C. Ripple Edit tool
• A ripple edit trims a clip and shifts
subsequent clips in the track by the
amount you trim.
• When you’re making a ripple edit, empty
space on one side of the cut is treated as a
clip and shifts in time just as a clip would
be.
( Shortcut key -B)
 D. Rolling Edit tool
• A rolling edit trims an adjacent Out point and In point
simultaneously and by the same number of frames. This
effectively moves the edit point between clips, preserving
other clips’ positions in time and maintaining the total
duration of the sequence. ( Shortcut key -N)
 E. Rate Stretch tool
• To change a clip’s speed using the Rate Stretch tool
• You can change a clip’s speed to fit a duration.
• Select the Rate Stretch tool , and drag either edge of
a clip in the Timeline panel.
• Changing clip speed using the Rate Stretch tool
( Shortcut key -X)
 F. Razor tool
• when you select the Razor tool and
position the pointer over a clip in the
Timeline panel, the icon changes to a
razor. ( Shortcut key -C)
 Rules of cutting

➢Never make a cut without a positive

reason.
➢ When undecided about the exact frame to
cut on,
cut long rather than short
➢ Whenever possible cut 'in movement
➢ All scenes should begin and end with
continuing action
➢ Cut for proper values rather than proper
'matches
 G. Slip tool
• A slip edit shifts a clip’s In and Out points
forward or backward by the same number
of frames in a single action. By dragging
with the Slip tool, you can change a clip’s
starting and ending frames without
changing its duration or affecting adjacent
clips. ( Shortcut key -Y)
 H. Slide tool
• As you drag a clip left or right with the Slide
tool, the Out point of the preceding clip and
the In point of the following clip are
trimmed by the number of frames you move
the clip.
• The clip’s In and Out points (and hence, its
duration) remain unchanged.
( Shortcut key -U)
 I. Pen tool
• The Pen tool is used in keying process.
User Can add nodes on the
video/Audio.
( Shortcut key -P)
 J. Hand tool
• The Hand tool icon move the Timeline
Left or right.
(Shortcut key -H)
 K. Zoom tool
• The Zoom tool icon Works on the timeline.
It zoom in the timeline.
( Shortcut key -Z)
