Chapter 5. Organize Your Story
Repeat after me: "Editing is the process of getting rid of everything that isn't relevant to my story." Make this your editing mantra, because it is the heart of all editing. In Chapter 3, "Gather Your Media," you got rid of all the footage that wasn't worth digitizing. In Chapter 4, "Build Your Story," you got rid of all the footage that wasn't worth putting into the sequence. In this chapter, you'll learn techniques to select, move, and delete the clips in your sequence that aren't worth keeping. Finally, in Chapter 6, "Trim Your Story," you'll learn how to trim your editsto get rid of all the frames that make your edits less than perfect. |
