Lesson 4

What you'll learn in this lesson:

• The methodology of the continuity editing process seen in film and television
• To trim clips with the selection and razor tools

Making the Cut

Video editing changes the arrangement and duration of video and audio clips to craft a narrative. An editor arranges footage to create a coherent story paced to appeal to the audience. Now that you have learned to organize your project, in this lesson you will discover how to edit clips on the Timeline.
