If I am starting an editing project from scratch, it would be a good idea to follow the basic principles for planning and shooting our videos. Which is to capture as much footage as we can, so I have plenty to work with during the editing process. Then I can delete unnecessary footage; put scenes in order; add special effects; and add narration, titles and transitions between video clips. All of this is easy with drag and drop, cut, copy and paste operations.
I can remove footage with the Cut operation. I can use it to delete the beginning and the ending of a clip, retaining only the middle portion.
A video Transition defines how a movie moves from one clip to another. It is never a good idea to move between two video clips suddenly. A transition gives the viewer a sense of continuity.
There are many types of transitions. The Cross Fade moves smoothly between two video clips, without jarring the watcher. The picture given below shows you how a Cross Fade transition works.
Adding Effects
An effect produces results that cannot be achieved by normal techniques. While special effects are traditionally very expensive, digital video editing with software like Video Edit Magic makes it simple to leave your audience stunned. One effect is the Brightness/Contrast effect. This can be used to correct images that appear too bright, dark or dull. The picture given here shows you a video before and after applying the effect.
Removing noise and adding music or narration
To make our videos stand out, I can add narration in our own voice, this type of audio replacement is communly used in film noirs. I can delete the original audio completely, or replace some parts with our narration or a music track.
Creating title slides
Title slides are great for beginnings, endings and credits. When creating titles we have to make sure that they blend in with the genre and theme of the film this way it will not seem like a "B Movie"
