The 5 steps of video editing

1. Review the material

Which recordings are good and which ones are unusable? It's a good idea to make a note of the most important scenes and to remove the scenes you don't want to include in your movie editing.

2. Organizing the movie

Divide your movie into sections according to subject. Once you have defined the individual sections for your video, you can assign the scenes to them.

3. The actual video editing

Now that you have completed all the preparatory steps, you can really start to edit a video. Whether you are an experienced video editor or new to video editing software, the first thing you should do is familiarize yourself with your tool, the video editing program.

4. Fine-tuning

Now you can use effects, titles and image stabilization to smooth the hard edges and to perfect your video.

5. Exporting

Exporting is the last step after editing your videos. You will want to make sure that the image quality is maintained and that the file size stays within acceptable limits.
