In the digital age, video editing has become accessible to a
much larger array of people than with analog film editing. With the installment
of non-linear editing, video editors now have limitless reign in the realm of
video editing. As a video editor, you are asked to compile numerous video
files, audio files, video effect renders, music and still images, which are
often out of chronological order, into one coherent story or sequence, using
your video editor’s timeline.
Although being a video editor is extremely awesome, there
are a lot of stresses that come with the job. The best editing in a video goes
unnoticed. The editor must be aware of what cuts to make and where in order to
progress the sequence in a manner that makes sense, but with subtlety. For
example, if an audience member notices a jarring cut, such as a jump cut or
flash frame, they are then distracted from the story, which is a party foul.
