Advanced Video Editing Techniques
by Lance Baily
In the pacing of video editing, 7 seconds is an average shot length. At 30 Frames Per Second,
that means 210 frames pass in front of the viewer’s eyes during during just one shot. If even one
of those frames is off, there can be massive unintended consequences for the message to your
audience. With this course you will see how small, almost invisible changes, can lead to big
impacts for the quality and message of your video pieces.
For almost twenty years Lance has spent countless hours with linear tape decks and non-linear
editing computers piecing together thousands of videos ranging from 11-second lightsaber
duels to 90-minute drag racing DVDs. Specializing in documentary production since university,
Lance has powerfully connected his filmmaking background to medical simulation through lab
orientations, promotional materials, interviews, product/service demonstrations, tutorials and more.
During this lesson, Lance will showcase Apple’s Final Cut Express to:
Explicate the continuity of editing theory and how to skilfully break it
Highlight time-saving shortcuts for reviewing, selecting and editing.
Point out key audio issues and last-minute fixes
Demonstrate his editing process for a HealthySimulation.com video segment
Cover timing, flow, storyboarding, graphics, sounds, fades, cuts, transitions, brightness hacks,
mattes, intros, outros, publishing, titling, and more.
