“There are two kinds of people, those who do the work
and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group;
there is less competition there.”
The Goal ofVideo Editing
• A lot of people I know struggle with video editing because they have a hard time
grasping one of the core concepts, and that is the goal of video editing.
• When it comes to video editing, you are trying to remove as much as possible.
Keep it Short
• Ihave never met a video that wouldn’t benefit from some
editing.
• The whole purpose of video is to compress time and
distill a message to its essence.
• It is important that you refine a project by continuing to
strip away its unneeded parts.
• Rarely have I heard an audience complain that a video
was too short.

Keep it Short
• Thereis a reason to edit and it becomes increasingly
clear when you actually watch people as they watch your
project.
• Do your best to strip a project down to its essence and
only add what is needed.
• When in doubt… cut it out.
The Safety Net
•Video editing is generally non-destructive
• If we are working in the timeline and we decide to trim
away some media, it's still on the hard drive
• You'll also find multiple levels of undo and even histories,
or versions, that are automatically captured by Premiere
Pro as you edit
• The project file in Premiere Pro is very small, so back it
up to capture your edits
Editing Instructions

• WATCH FIRST
• EDIT SECOND
• Don't worry about perfection
• Your edit will be different
• This is about being creative and learning
• Editing video is a creative process

Editing Instructions
• Wehave snapshot projects for major steps
• It’s okay to fall behind
• You can take these files home to practice
• We will occasionally jump ahead to save time and
make sure we're using same snapshot projects
• It takes time
• Everyone leaves with a hands-on course for free
• No one mastered video editing in 1 day
(let alone 90 minutes)
