Video editing is the process of organizing, modifying, and combining raw video footage to create a polished, cohesive final product. It involves tasks such as cutting and trimming clips, applying transitions, adding special effects, color correction, sound editing, and integrating elements like text, graphics, or animations. The goal is to tell a compelling story or communicate a specific message while maintaining visual and auditory quality. Video editors use specialized software like Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve to enhance and perfect the footage, ensuring it aligns with the intended vision.
