Video editing is the process of arranging, modifying, and enhancing video footage to create a polished, cohesive final product. It involves cutting and trimming clips, adjusting audio, adding transitions, visual effects, and color grading to improve the video's aesthetic appeal. Video editing software allows editors to overlay text, graphics, and animations, making videos more engaging and informative. The goal is to craft a story, maintain a smooth flow, and captivate viewers, whether for film, social media, marketing, or personal projects.
