=Audio-Video POST-Production (Editing) = include component="page" page="menu-audiovideo" editable="1" include component="page" page="menu-premiere.elements" editable="1" Postproduction is the process of EDITING your video footage. We use Adobe Premiere Elements, but there are dozens of other digital editing software applications such as:
 * BASIC EDITORS (free) - Windows MovieMaker, Apple iMovie
 * CONSUMER EDITORS - Sony Vegas, Pinnacle Studios
 * ADVANCED EDITORS (costly) - Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro
 * [[image:Video-Postprod01.png align="left"]] || The goals of "Post-Production" editing are typically to:
 * TRIM raw footage to the essential content
 * ARRANGE the order of footage
 * Add //APPROPRIATE* and TASTEFUL//
 * TITLES
 * CAPTIONS
 * TRANSITIONS
 * GRAPHICS
 * SOUND EFFECTS
 * MUSIC
 * Adjust
 * SOUND LEVELS
 * IMAGE QUALITY


 * Appropriate means that the editing "enhances" the content; it gives content a professional appearance and makes it more effective

Inappropriate editing (ie excessive, random transitions, poorly designed titles, sound effects or music) can rob your production of integrity, and make it appear "amateurish". ||
