Video editing is the process of manipulating and rearranging video footage to create a final product that tells a story or communicates a message. It involves selecting and trimming the best takes of footage, adding special effects, color grading, audio mixing, and any other necessary post-production tasks to create a polished final video. Video editing can be used for a variety of purposes, such as creating short films, commercials, music videos, educational videos, and more. It is typically done using specialized software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or Davinci Resolve.
