Video editing include, depending on the video and your tasks, but not limited to:
- Trim footage segments and put together the sequence of the episode to create a narrative. Creating rough and final cuts. Amendments (incorporate all necessary feedback and revisions).
-Adding transitions (Fade in/Fade Out, Zoom in/Zoom Out etc.).
-Adding titles; if necessary subtitles etc.
- Adding sounds, music (free or provided by the customer).
- Adding effects to the elements of the video (sound and video).
- Motion Graphics (callouts, arrows, infographic etc), text, elements animation.
-Search, selection for the materials (photos, videos, music - free, no copyright) for the video if necessary.
-If necessary, creation and processing graphics (plates, thumbnails, etc.), adjusting images in Figma, Photoshop, AI tools.
- If necessary, additional consultations on issues that arise in the process.
-Adjusting the sound of raw videos (converting it to stereo).
-If necessary, removing background noise from the video.
- English final transcription in SRT (subtitles format) and word files (if needed).
- Checking the edited material, including the file with English subtitles (srt) through the YouTube studio to see if everything is correct and if the program has any complaints. If the system detects any problems, if it is possible either I correct them (for example, reducing the size of the thumbnail file to the size and weight of the file required by the system, replacing the music) or provide comments and recommendations.
Please note that more complex (different from the basic) animation, effects, graphics will require more time (both for creation and approval). Finding and selecting the right materials and then approving them also takes time.
I don't count video rendering time in my working hours.
