and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group;
there is less competition there.”

19. The Goal of Video Editing

20. The Goal of Video Editing
• A lot of people I know struggle with video editing because they have a hard time
grasping one of the core concepts, and that is the goal of video editing.
• When it comes to video editing, you are trying to remove as much as possible.

21. Your Video Can Always
Be Shorter

22. Keep it Short
• I have never met a video that wouldn’t benefit from some
editing.
• The whole purpose of video is to compress time and
distill a message to its essence.
• It is important that you refine a project by continuing to
strip away its unneeded parts.
• Rarely have I heard an audience complain that a video
was too short.

23. Keep it Short
• There is a reason to edit and it becomes increasingly
clear when you actually watch people as they watch your
project.
• Do your best to strip a project down to its essence and
only add what is needed.
• When in doubt… cut it out.

24. The Safety Net

25. The Safety Net
• Video editing is generally non-destructive
• If we are working in the timeline and we decide to trim
away some media, it's still on the hard drive
• You'll also find multiple levels of undo and even histories,
or versions, that are automatically captured by Premiere
Pro as you edit
• The project file in Premiere Pro is very small, so back it
up to capture your edits
