Hello friends,welcome to Shareskillsonline! You have shot a video  and now it’s time for the other half of the battle: the post-processing stage-Video Editing. As with filming, this step requires a good mix of both creativity and technical knowledge. And in this article, I aim to help make the video editing process much easier and more productive by providing a few helpful ideas & techniques and a list of useful softwares.

Tips for Video Editing

Choose the Right Software

The first step in improving your video editing process is to    choose  right software for you   for you and your work. They normally offer everything you need to perform standard video edits, but you may prefer one over others for their usability, digital interface, and features. The key here is to choose what   works  for you and your editing style    instead of just the latest, most advanced video editing  software.

Use a Fast Computer

 You can choose whatever computer brand or model you want, as long as it’s fast enough for you to store huge files and allows you to focus more on your editing work without having to worry about slow rendering or exporting.It definitely helps to   invest in a faster storage drive (SSD) that will allow you to access your files and software faster, as well as speed up your rendering, loading, and export times. Other things you can do to significantly shorten your editing times is to increase your computer’s memory (RAM) to   at least  8GB if you’re going to be doing professional or commercial work, and get the    recommended video card and processor for your editing software.

Edit for a Story

One of the most important takeaways from this article is to remember your creative goal:   to tell a great story. Go beyond the basics—cutting away extra footage and correcting the order of your clips—and take the opportunity to make your film aesthetically-pleasing and dramatically compelling so as to evoke the right emotions and effectively impart your intended message. Use your practical and technical knowledge in achieving this instead of just adding a bunch of effects to impress your viewers.

Maintain an Efficient Workflow

Even with a super-fast computer system and editing software, you’ll also need to be systematic and organized in order to become a more efficient editor. One way to improve your workflow is to   organize your projects and files in folders    that you can use again and again. Create homes for your projects, footage, audio files, images, and graphics, in which you can also create more subsections and folders.Another way that you can work faster is to   use external hard drives  for storing your footage, so you can free up more computer memory. 

Utilize Keyboard Shortcuts

Speaking of buttons, keep in mind that most editing programs allow you to   use keyboard shortcuts   to perform a range of in-app editing functions. Feel free to review, memorize, and customize the different set of shortcuts for software programs.If you have a little more money to spend, the easier option would be to   purchase an   Editing keyboard    (or at least a replaceable editing keyboard cover) that already has keyboard shortcut icons in them. These are usually software-specific so you don’t have to worry about compatibility issues with your editing software.

Learn Important Terms

The video editing industry will require you to communicate with other video editors or clients, which means you’ll have to learn a lot of lingo. To those who haven’t heard of them, some of the terms used in video editing can be impossible to figure out without any research, which is why you’ll want to learn them early on. Basic concepts include the following:

Jump Cuts – Cutting out portions to skip boring or predictable moments and preserve visual interest.

J Cut – Audio precedes the video.

L Cut – Video precedes the audio.

Montage – Sequence of clips showing the passage of time, usually for a transformation or character development.

Cutting on Action – Cutting when the subject is moving instead of after each movement to create a more interesting and fluid scene.

Match Cut/Match Action – Cutting together two visually similar shots or scenes

Cutaways – Adding transition pieces that don’t include the main subject or action to show the surrounding environment and set the mood, add meaning to the scene, or aid dramatic tension.

These are just a few, as there are certainly many other cuts and terms to learn. All you need to do is take the time to read and do your own research.

Color Correct Your Clips

Color is a major design element that can be manipulated to highlight certain subjects, evoke specific emotions, and set the mood or atmosphere of your scene. Fortunately, today’s video editing programs give us a lot of color editing options that used to be only possible with photos.Most editors do two things: color correction, to make sure that the colors of your footage are consistent in each scenes, and   color grading, to give your film a different look. Both are essential when you want most of your scenes to look as realistic as possible, or to differentiate certain scenes from others, such as when you use presets like sepia and monochrome on “flashback” scenes.

Select Good Music

Don’t just focus on the visuals; it should only be as good as your music. If you’re creating a drama film, for instance, you’ll want just the right song or instrumentals to make key moments (where you want to trigger certain emotions from your audience) more effective. Cheerful comedies can be a little forgiving, but it can also be easy to overdo it with upbeat songs. It can be difficult if you’re doing it on your own, so having a musical scorer can help take the guesswork out of it.But before you even think of using just any music, remember that the safest option is to   get music from a royalty free music provider. You may be able to find free music, but the best audio usually comes at a price. If you’re doing a professional project, music is usually included in the production budget.

Add Text and Graphics

Depending on your film type, you may have to include more text aside from the title, opening/closing billboards (for broadcasting), and film credits. You’ll usually want to   keep it simple, with a clean and white sans-serif font that doesn’t grab too much attention. Have them dissolve in and out, and see how it works for your film.

Export Web Versions

Once your video is done and ready to be exported, the natural tendency of most editors is to export it at the largest video resolution possible. This is definitely the way to go if it’s going to be played in cinemas and ultra HD screens, but in today’s generation where video projects are usually marketed online, you should also   export smaller, high-quality versions.When exporting for the web, the goal is to create a file that maintains its high quality without making it too heavy for upload and online viewing. If you’re unsure about the export settings to use, don’t worry. Sites like YouTube, Facebook, and Vimeo all have recommended export settings.If you are  new in small business and want to save your money and time then some good video editing softwares on mobile  are :
