VIDEO EDITING

Responsibilities of Video Editors

1. Footage Organization & Pre-processing
◆ Categorize raw clips (multi-cam, aerial, interviews) chronologically/by segments;
tag usable shots and rejects.
◆ Standardize formats (resolution, frame rate, color space); transcode proxy files for
smoother editing.

2. Narrative Structuring & Rough Cut
◆ Build video structure based on scripts/event rundowns, defining climax points
and pacing shifts.
◆ Deliver rough cuts for organizer review, noting reshoot or adjustment needs.

3. Fine Editing & Effects
◆ Add transitions, motion graphics (MG animations),
and subtitles to boost visual appeal.
◆ Apply color grading (LUTs), audio noise reduction, and mixing for consistency.

4. Multi-version Adaptation & Delivery
◆ Export platform-specific versions (e.g., 16:9 landscape, 9:16 portrait, 15s shorts).
◆ Provide layered project files and isolated audio tracks for future edits or localization.

5. Collaboration & Feedback Integration
◆ Coordinate with videographers for reshoots and fix flaws
(e.g., continuity errors, shaky footage).
◆ Iterate edits based on organizer feedback;
maintain version control to prevent conflicts.

6. Copyright & Compliance
◆ Secure commercial licenses for music, fonts, and stock assets to prevent legal issues.  
◆ Remove unauthorized likenesses or sensitive content
(e.g., competitor brand exposure).

7. File Management & Backup
◆ Archive raw files, project files, and finals per project with dual backups
(local + cloud). 
◆ Delete temp files post-event to free up storage.
