Category Description

So: you have shot all this great footage on your camera. Now what? You know that some of the stuff you shot in the middle really should go at the begining of your movie, and some stuff doesn't belong at all- like the time you forgot to shut off the camera and got 15 minutes of footage about the inside of the camera bag. You also want to add some titles, credits and some fancy disolves.

There are two flavours of editors- linear (which is awful) and nonlinear. Most editors today are nonlinear. (yay!)

You need a video editor- a program that runs on your computer and is the tool you use to participate in the art of editing.
