Steps to Learn Video Editing as a Novice

Before you start editing on a video, first you need to learn how to shoot a video. To shoot a video you need to have a camera with a good resolution which can shoot videos in any light and ambiance. Or to practice for editing videos you can always download them from internet and edit them. 

You can also make a video with photographs just make sure the photos are in landscaped mode rather than portrait, because making a video with portrait photos can cause difficulties. If you are using your phone to shoot a video make sure it is also in landscape mode and not in portrait.

To edit a video, you must remember these tips:

• First and foremost, know your computer specifications. Only after that you should download compatible video editing software in your system so that you can have an easy workflow. 
• Choose a video editing software, there are many options such as Adobe Premiere Pro which can be downloaded in both Mac OS and in Windows, Final Cut Pro if you have Mac OS, Nero Video, Corel VideoStudio, etc.
• Before you start editing compile your footage so that it conveys the exact message you want the viewers to get. Keep your content in correct order so that it goes with the flow of your story. Don’t make a single clip too long or too short that it gets boring or distracting.
• If you have shot multiple clips in different lights or environments make sure you colour correct the whole video so that it looks professional.
• Lastly, if your video doesn’t contain any dialogs then choose a good compatible background music. 
• Don’t choose too fast or too slow music that will distract the viewers from your video, choose the correct video which flows with your video.
