What is Video Editing

Video editing is the process of manipulating video clips. It is a post production phase which is comprised by the following activities:

Removal of clips that are not needed;Sequencing of clips to create the flow; andAddition of background music, video effects and other elements to enhance the over-all look and feel of a video.

Software:

Kino – is a linear, non-mutli-tracked video editor for editing in/out, trimming, splitting, sequencing and reordering scenes and application of simple effects.

Cinelerra – is a linear, multi-tracked video editor for application of background audio, overlaying videos/images/audio and application of more complex effects.

Starting CinelerraUsing the Menu:

Starting CinelerraUsing the Terminal:

Cinelerra User Interface

Cinelerra User InterfaceViewer

Viewer - provides previewing screen for the imported media, it also provides basic editing features such as splicing the active media to the selected track timeline

Cinelerra User InterfaceCompsitor

Compositor - provides previewing screen of the actual timeline as well as editing capabilities.

Cinelerra User InterfaceProgram

Program - Displays representation of the multi-tracked timeline. It is the main interface where most of the video editing takes place.

Cinelerra User InterfaceResources

Resources - Shows the available effect resources for audio and video, as well as the imported media that will be used for the project

Importing Digital Media as Resources

Importing Digital Media Resources in Timeline

1.) Select a media resource from the Media Folder

2.) Drag the selected resource into the selected track

Importing Digital Media Resources in Timeline as new Tracks (Audio/Video/Image)

1.) Add a new track (Audio or Video depending on the resource you intend to add)

2.) Drag and drop the Resource to the newly added track

Cinelerra User Interface: ViewerUsage

To use the Viewer with a clip, drag and drop the media resource to the Viewer window.

Cinelerra User Interface: ViewerWorking with the Viewer

In / Out - Sets a range within the selected clip.

Splice – Creates an instance of the selected range specified by In / Out to the active timeline track and cursor position

Overwrite – Creates an instance of the selected range specified by In / Out to the active timeline track and cursor position and overwrites keyframes next to it if there are any

To Clip – Creates an instance of the selected range specified by In / Out to the Clip Resources.

Clip Resources – are located in the Clip folder under the Resources window. Clips can be dragged and dropped to a track similar to Media resources

Copy – Copies the current clip range specified by In / Out. The copied clip selection can later be pasted in the track timeline in the Program window using Edit -> Paste

Show Meter – Toggles the visibility of the meter.

Label – Labels the current cursor position in the viewer

Previous / Next Label – Navigates throughout the labels set in the clip.

Manual Goto – provides a dialogue to manually put the cursor to an exact timeline within the selected clip in the viewer

Cinelerra User Interface: CompositorWorking with the Compositor

Lock Video – Locks the loaded video from changes

Zoom View – enables mouse pointer zoom view

Edit Mask – Enables editing of mask points

Adjust Camera Automation – Enables mouse pointer control over the location of timeline videos in the camera

Adjust Projector Automation – Enables mouse pointer control over the projection of videos in the timeline

Crop – Provides a cropping tool

Color Picker – Enables the mouse pointer to capture the color of the area where it will be clicked

Options / Settings – Displays a dialogue pertaining to the options or settings about the currently active tool

Show Safe Regions – Toggles the display of Safe Regions

Safe Regions – are markers which show which area of the video will be visible among different output resolutions and size. The smaller the area of the safe region, the more it makes it likely that the whole video will display across output size and resolutions

Generate Keyframes while tweaking – Toggles whether keyframes will be created on the fly while the tools are being applied

In / Out - Sets a range within the selected clip in the timeline.

To Clip – Creates an instance of the selected range specified by In / Out to the Clip Resources.

Clip Resources – are located in the Clip folder under the Resources window. Clips can be dragged and dropped to a track similar to Media resources

Cut – Cuts the current selection specified by In / Out from the timeline

Copy – Copies the current clip range specified by In / Out. The copied clip selection can later be pasted in the track timeline in the Program window using Edit -> Paste or the Paste button

Paste – Pastes the copied clip into the current cursor position

Show Meter – Toggles the visibility of the meter.

Label – Labels the current cursor position in the Compositor

Previous / Next Label – Navigates throughout the labels set in the clip.

Undo /Redo – Undos or Redos actions

Manual Goto – provides a dialogue to manually put the cursor to an exact timeline within the selected clip in the compositor

Zoom Level Controls – Controls the size of the timeline preview screen in the Compositor

File Format - the format of the video output file

Audio/Video - specifies the tracks to export

Create New File at each Label - when checked, the output video will be divided to several tracks depending on the labels that were set

Rendering the Project to Digital Video FormatRender Range – Specifies the range of the project/timeline to be exported

Render Profile – Allows the saving of render settings

Insertion Strategy – Specifies how the output track will be imported into the current project
