Video editing software has a very important role to play in the video sequences editing and is considered to be the application software. To simplify the process, your video will be saved as a JPEG image file and stored in a specified directory. This software can show one image displayed on screen and also the specified directory. One can zoom out and be able to take care of many more files of the directory. This will make just one file cover only one pixel line in an editor, which makes it ideal for the rough cutting. To play the video the play button will allow the software to automatically advance from one image to another. This video editing software is also capable of rotating the JPEG images 90 degrees or even mirrored. It also allows for multiple files to be selected all at once. This is where the video editing software resembles a slide show editing software. A slide show editing software has a lot of decoders for the image file format, while the video editing software has a lot video codecs. It also offers editing of the sound or audio clips which are a part of the video and is able to synchronize the video with the audio.
This specialized editing software has the ability which could be the most important for a professional video editor - the special effects and transitions. In some cases it can do the video encoding so that a Web video, a DVD, a video pod cast or a mobile phone video could be created.
Some of the pioneers in this kind of software are still the most popular on the market - Sony Vegas Pro, Avid, Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere. These kinds of software have had a huge influence in editing TV programs, films and are a great tool for any professional video editor.
There are some other programs that are in the same category, like: iMovie , Microsoft’s Windows Movie Maker, NERO 8 Ultra, Pinnacle Systems’ MediaSuite, GEAR Video, autoProducer and muveeNow. A very popular free (open source) video editor with terrific features is Virtual Dub. One thing that separates this software from any other higher priced editing program is the drag & drop timeline interface, which it doesn’t have. |
