Video Editing Worksheet: Editing Basics

Animation and design lesson 20: Editing basics · Set 68 · 40 questions

Creator's tip (Shorter is better): Cut = switch or split; trim = shorten the ends; transition = fade or wipe between clips; title = words on screen; timeline = where clips are arranged. New length = clip − trim at the start − trim at the end. Joined clips add up; each 1-second transition overlap takes away 1 second.
