Top 5 video editing tehniques


Today we are in the age where software like Pinnacle Studio,Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Sony Vegas, etc. is being used by millions of people to make their videos awesome. The post production aspect of film making has completely changed due to this software and here I have laid down 5 tips which will help you make even better videos with this software.
  •  Color Correction — If we go back in the 90's, those were the days when the color correction was considered as a luxury which was just available to the top notch film makers and television producers. The rest of the people had to work hard to capture the best color in their camera because they weren't able to edit it later on. This means that they had to really work hard to make the set proper by having the best lighting, lens filters, etc. But these days the situation is completely changed, color correction is available to anybody who has a video editing app like Adobe Premier, Sony Vegas, etc. As a result many video editors have found that correcting the colors of the video can make a big impact on it.
  •  Speed Effects — You can change the speed of the video and make it fast or slow according to your needs. You can create a combination of a slow motion and a fast motion video too. You can even try to reverse the footage and make a comedy kind of video. Effects like these were almost impossible to create few years ago. You were required to invest in expensive devices like VTR and hire experts to film slow motion videos. But now-a-days it quite simple, all you have to do is adjust the speed in your software and it's done.
  •  Audio Effects — You can literally change the way your video sounds by simply make some normal changes to your audio. Most of the video editing app allows making these normal changes to your audio like normalizing, compressing, equalizing, etc. You can even mix another track in to your video and make it better. The learning curve for the audio tools in these apps is not quite long but it will take some and I bet it will help you produce better video from then every single time.
  •  Pushes and Pulls — It's quite difficult to maintain the required zoom while recording the video. And even when you record the video by zooming in you are stuck with that footage and it can't be zoomed out. So to tackle this issue we have motion controls in our video editing applications. You can zoom in or zoom out any part of the video and do that exactly how much you like. You can even change the video speed and alter the motion controls together to create a better experience. And when you are editing a 720p or 1080p video you can zoom in without much loss on your footage and that's makes it awesome.
 Stabilization — The best thing about these video editing apps is that you can analyze and stable shaky shots. This process is not simple and easy, you have to first learn how to use the complex features like stabilization filter or smooth cam filter on your respective video editing app. After learning the features you can start applying them according to your needs. As this is a complex thing, before applying this feature keep in mind that rendering these effects will take a long time and will use a bigger part of your RAM. And one last thing, it's just a software which can digitally analyze the bumps on your video and will try to stabilize them but still it will not correct each and every bump in your video.
  • Conclusion. Hence these were some of the techniques which you can apply in your video editing process and make it better. So if you are using your video editing app just for stringing a couple of photos and adding audio to it, than you should use these techniques to make your videos better.
