Transitions
In this chapter well discuss how the transition effect build a communication between shots
by the help of NLE editing programs. Well not only clarify the technical aspects of the
transition effect but also the creative aspects of the same to make a Video clip more
communicative and meaningful. You will learn how to use appropriate transitions to
different styles. Well set you free to get your inevitable transition fever out of your system:
this is one of those techniques where less is more.
Keyframing
In this chapter well discuss how Keyframes are one of the tools, which allow video editors
and videographers to adjust or enhance anything from the tiniest miscue, to the largest
effect. All of the popular NLEs use a keyframing metaphor to accomplish animation. In
modern packages, this animation capability tends to be stunningly broad: you can animate
nearly anything that you can change from within the NLE itself, from clips positions to
color corrections. Well introduce the concept of keyframing, use it in a few applied
situations, and then refine our animations using interpolation controls.
Applying Filters
Filters systematically modify the image that they affect. Some are more effective, like
camera shake removers, color space transformations and keys; others are more artistic,
like distortions, automatic vignettes and even more like color correction and exposure
controls, have both practical and creative uses.
Well study how Video Filters give you a wide choice of popular filters and effects to
improve the quality of your videos and make them more dramatic. Well also discuss about
the Automatic Filters, Professional Filters and Visual Effects, which helps the video clip,
look more dramatic and magical with lots of creative essence in it.
Well introduce the nuts and bolts of applying filters to your work, and then work through a
number of individual filters as we mimic popular styles. Well learn to store commonly
used filters (and stacks of filters) as presets, both on the project level and globally. Finally,
well extend Lecture 7s discussion of keyframing to animate features of our filters.

Ingesting
Up to this point, weve taken for granted that our footage is already in the computer. The
process of actually getting the footage there is a bit of a minefield: with an ever-increasing
number of HD codecs and recording formats on the production side, the most efficient
pathway to an editing-friendly format is sometimes hard to find. Well talk about HD ingest
through tape and tapeless means, well motivate the value of intermediate codecs like
Apples ProRes and MPEG, H-264, and well weigh the merits of editing in your cameras
native codec. Well also spend some time on workflows to ingest DSLR footage from Canon
7D, 5D and Panasonic GH2. Well walk through a number of techniques to quickly tag, time,

and organize your clips upon ingest.
NLE Compositing
Filters allow an editor a great deal of artistic control, but they tend to act on the whole
image. Compositing techniques allow post professionals to selectively affect and combine
parts of one or more images at the same time. While sophisticated compositing is more
appropriate to motion graphics and compositing packages like Motion, Shake, After Effects,
or Combustion, all modern NLEs offer a more-than-adequate array of compositing
capabilities for quick, common needs like rudimentary green- or blue-screen shots,
picture-in-picture composites, titling, and simple masks.

Working on Audio
The best way of editing audio is by the help of the software like Logic or Protools or
Soundtrack Pro, but your NLE is more than capable of handling the vast majority of
common audio tasks. Well review enveloping, mixing, and recording external audio in your
NLE.
14
Titling
This specific compositing task comes along at least once a project; so modern NLEs include
image-generation tools that are specifically geared towards titling. Well look briefly at our
NLEs native basic text tools, and then go into some depth with built-in advanced titling
tools.
