The 6 Habits of Highly Effective Video Editors
Habit #1 you need to develop is organizing your files. When you start a video project, it's crucial to gather all your files, including photos, videos, audios, and project files, into one folder. Creating a project file with the project name and date is an effective way to keep things organized. Inside the project file, you can further organize your files into folders for footage, photos, audio, project files, and rendered files. By keeping your files organized, you'll make the editing process easier and have better access to your project files in the future.
Habit #2 is to import your entire folder into your editing software. This way, all your project files will be in one place, and you won't have to keep going back to your files or finder and dragging each file individually. Having the entire folder in your editing software allows you to easily drag and drop files into your timeline, saving you time and making your life as a video editor much more convenient.
Habit #3 is the actual editing process on the timeline. Once you have all your footage on your timeline, you'll want to cut out any unnecessary parts, such as empty spaces, "ums," breathing sounds, or moments where you're just staring off into space. By trimming your footage to include only the most interesting parts, you'll create a more engaging and entertaining video. Don't be afraid to delete unnecessary footage, even if it means your video becomes shorter. A shorter video that flows well is much more effective than a longer video with irrelevant content.
Habit #4 is to save your project and create duplicates before making significant changes. By versioning your project, you'll have multiple copies to choose from if you want to revert to a previous version. This helps you avoid mistakes and gives you the flexibility to experiment with different edits without losing your progress.
Habit #5 is to add B-roll, titles, and graphics to your video. Changing what's on the screen every few seconds helps keep viewers engaged. You can use titles, graphics, and B-roll footage to creatively communicate your message and make your video more visually appealing.
Habit #6 is shooting B-roll. B-roll is additional footage that you shoot to visually communicate your story. You can shoot B-roll yourself or use online resources like Pixabay and Pexels for free stock footage. Incorporating B-roll into your video enhances the storytelling and keeps viewers engaged.
In conclusion, developing these six habits as a video editor - organizing your files, importing entire folders, efficient editing, versioning your projects, adding titles and graphics, and shooting B-roll - will streamline your workflow, save time, and create more engaging videos. By incorporating these habits into your video editing process, you'll become a more efficient and effective video editor, producing high-quality videos that captivate your audience.
