Video Editing is the manipulation and arrangement of video shots. Video editing is used to structure and present all video information, including films and television shows, video advertisements and video essays. This can include not only editing footage but also titling, colour correction, sound mixing, etc.

Audio editing is the process of manipulating sound recordings. This can be done for many reasons, such as to improve the quality of the recording, to remove unwanted noise or sounds, or to change the length or pitch of a particular audio clip. Audio editing can be a complex process, and there are a number of different techniques that can be used to achieve the desired result. The exact methods used in the basics of audio editing that you learn will vary depending on the software being used and the project's specific needs.

There are four main steps involved in the basics of audio editing: Selection, Editing, Processing and Output. Within that there are three main types of audio editing: cutting, fading, and mixing.

The benefits of both video and audio editing are to;

Improve the quality of your content, Make your content more engaging and Save time and money.

Create your own short video including Audio

INSTRUCTIONS

Your goal is to create a short video using editing and audio skills. It can be funny and silly but needs to be appropriate!

NOTE: All the files you use (video clips, images and sound) need to be in the same folder as your OpenShot

Create a folder on your S: Drive for your project (Call it your student number)

This has much larger space allocation (Good for larger files... like video)
Remember to sit at the same computer during video production, (S:// drive does not follow you around like the H:// Drive)

If you want to work on video using your own device, use Google drive for storage, but use the desktop for where you work on the file. (Download to the desktop, work on it, and then upload back to G-Drive so you don't burn through all your disc space.)Download the files you need
Set up in OpenShot
Putting clips into timeline
Adding copyright free music
Editing - transitions / flow / effects etc
Add a Title screen at the start and a Credit screen at the end - aim is to design these to link in with your theme etc. Think about fonts, colours, transitions etc.

Basics of video editing

Very short video on the basics of editing a video with OpenShot

You should watch each section and practise some of the techniques so you can get a feel for the program.

Basics of Audio editing

A short introduction to editing audio with Audacity.

You should do some recording and get some creative commons music to try out the techniques shown in the video.

Note: Although you can edit audio in Openshot it is highly recommended that you edit your audio in a dedicated program like Audacity and export it across. Use the right tool for the right job!
