1. Aspect Ratio

The aspect ratio describes how your video's width and height relate to one another. A ratio is used to express those dimensions.

Typical examples include 4:3, 16:9, and 1.85:1.


2. B-roll

B-roll is an extra film that smooths out an awkward moment, giving you more freedom to edit according to the standards of video editing.

B-roll can also add further information to the situation, such as in news reports, wedding videos, or interview clips.

Imagine you were filming a person going through a park and you wanted to switch to a different perspective on the topic. B-roll can be included to make the transition less difficult on the eyes, such as in the picture of the park below.


3. Bit Rate (Data Rate)

The bit rate, also known as data rate, refers to the quantity of data consumed each second in the movie. The most popular unit of measurement is kilobits per second (kbps). Kilobits per second can be either constant or variable.


4. Close Up

Close-up photographs have a small frame around the subject.


5. Color Temperature

Colour temperature is expressed on a scale from cool to warm and is measured in Kelvin.

The visible light in a shot is referred to by this word in video editing.

For instance, hotter colour temperatures typically appear more red or orange, whereas colder colour temperatures frequently have a bluish hue.


6. Compositing

Compositing, which is the technique of integrating various pictures using video editing software, is frequently utilised while editing footage.


7. Compression

Compression is the method used to lessen the data in a video file. As a result, downloading and uploading of your video happens considerably more quickly. Although compressing your movie takes time, it's worth it because you'll save time and have more capacity for more videos.


8. Crop Factor

The ratio of a sensor's imaging area to that of a full-frame sensor is indicated by a figure called the crop factor, which normally ranges from 1.3 to 2.0. Try dividing the focal length of your lens by the crop factor of your camera's sensor. The focal length for the lens/sensor combination will be provided! Cool, huh?


9. Cut-in (Insert Shot)

Cut-in shots typically feature the objects the subject is interacting with or holding. Because they briefly depart from the topic, cut-in shots are just as useful as a b-roll.


10. Foley

Foley is the process of creating and/or reproducing sound for a movie. The noises of nature, eating, etc. are frequently not recorded organically; instead, they are simulated in a studio.

What does the video editing 321 rule entail?

The 321 rule is used in every video. This means that you must always preserve three duplicates of anything you create, each in a distinct location. You want to use your video to communicate a compelling story to your audience. You may accomplish this by simply editing your content repeatedly until it is flawless.
