E – Editing in the A-Z of Videography
Putting all the pieces together form the filming and creating the final product.
A videographer’s job isn’t just the filming and then it’s all done there’s a whole post-production process and that’s where most of the work is. When calculating ‘time frames’ I tend to say 1 hour on set can be 3 hours in edit.
Why?
Well, there are all kinds of things that happen during the edit such as:
Sorting the footage and choosing the best shots
Transitions
Colour Correction
Colour Grade
Masking
Titles
Animation
Music
Audio
Sound effects (SFX)
All of these will take a different amount of time dependant on the brief of the video, but it is commonly the longest part of the production process because of all these elements. So, if you are thinking of getting a video done don’t expect it to be with you by the next day because it can take days or even weeks. Or if you are thinking of being a videographer, make sure you leave enough time for your edit especially if you are learning a new skill.
Here are some editing software’s you could look at if you want to look at the skill:
Avid
Premier Pro
Final Cut Pro X
Da Vinci
iMovie
These all have different advantages and disadvantages so make sure you shop around before purchasing! Most do have free trials so try them out too.
