Video Editor is a reference site about the craft of cutting video: the techniques editors use on a timeline, and the software they use to do it. We write about trimming and pacing, transitions and J- and L-cuts, colour correction and grading, audio levels and noise cleanup, titles and motion graphics, proxies and render settings, and the way different editing applications handle each of these jobs.
Who it is for
The pages here are aimed at beginners who have just opened an editing program for the first time, and at intermediate editors who already finish projects but want sharper results. Creators cutting their own footage and marketers producing short promotional video will find the same material useful.
