Preparing to Edit
Bins:
Bins refer to the term used in Avid for separating and sorting different audio, SPFX and video. Originally, bin was the literal term for the containers that film is stored in when it was sent of to be processed.
Importing Clips:
Importing clips is simple and fast. Simply highlight the folders you want to import, then drag and drop them into the corresponding bins.
Timelines:
The timeline is where most of the editing is done. The green bar represents the video image and the blue bars represent the right and left audio. The j and l buttons can be used to search through the footage frame by frame. Pressing then multiple times increases the speed at which you play the footage.
Storage and Folder Management:
Storing the folders is the most important thing to do once the files are on the computer. First the files should be split into audio, video and SPFX. It is also essential to back up the files on an external drive or SD card.
Online and Offline Editing:
Offline editing involves editing with a reduced quality copies of the media files. This allows more space to be used effectively and improve playback. This helps when using a computer with low processing power.
Online editing starts off in offline editing. While it doesn't involve editing the footage, it focuses on quality of image, sound and adding text and fine tuning colours.
Formats:
A video file normally consists of a container format (e.g. Matroska) containing video data in a video coding format (e.g. VP9) alongside audio data in an audio coding format (e.g. Opus). The container format can also contain synchronization information, subtitles, and metadata such as title etc.. A standardized (or in some cases de facto standard) video file type such as .webm is a profile specified by a restriction on which container format and which video and audio compression formats are allowed.
Resolution:
Resolution is the quality of the digital video 240p, 480p, 720p, 1080p, 2k and 4k. Recording in the highest resolution(4k) will look clearer than the lowest resolution(240p).
