Video Editing

Video editing is the process of manipulating and arranging video footage, audio, and other multimedia elements to create a coherent and engaging video story. Video editing is a crucial step in the post-production of videos, whether they are short films, documentaries, TV shows, advertisements, YouTube videos, or any other type of visual content. Video editors use specialized software to edit and enhance video clips, adding effects, transitions, sound, and more.
