How to learn video editing?

Master a tool first, that is, an editing software. There are so many editing software on the market, which software should you learn? Let me tell you something. First of all, we must have a global concept. Because editing is only a link in the later process. Therefore, it is important that the selection of software can meet the needs of the process.

Cut the slices first and set them.

Second, export the cut video to other departments, such as recording department and color matching department, and export omf to insert Xml and other files respectively. Sound and dimming processing are done separately, so the choice of this software should meet the needs of these processes.

For example, we are familiar with pr software, which was not used by many professionals in the early days. Because the early software could not output professional formats such as omf and cross Xml, now pr can output these formats, so many editors are using them.

The second software is final7. Although it has stopped updating for many years, there are many editors at present, including movie trailer editors. Still in use, the reason is because it can meet these needs, and the other may be feelings.

The third is FCPX. Although they are the same owner, they are two completely different softwares. Because of process problems, such as exporting these omf and Xml formats, it is a bit troublesome. Choose software that doesn't follow suit or meet your own needs. Therefore, mastering an editing software that can meet the needs of the process is the first step for you to enter the editing industry.

Third, you should have the skill ability and the logical thinking ability of the editor. There is one idea of editing video, and the other is to master the methods and skills of editing. For example, the skills of picture and sound rhythm. There are also some audio-visual language skills, such as how to connect the shots, some meanings of the scene and so on. There is also the rhythm control of that picture, and the film you cut must have rhythmic ups and downs and changes.
