The effect of continuity in video editing

This post will explain you the process of editing the video by giving the videos the feel of continuity.This info. will be helpful to you if you are new to a advanced video editing software, if you are new to editing or you want to know the trick which will give you a upper hand.

1] Import the raw video in the editing software.

2] Arrange the videos in sequences in the time line.

3] Now give some video Transitions effects in between the two video in the time line layer.

[This above steps will give the videos a continuity effect of the videos taken from multi-cam (Videos taken from various angles with more than 1 camera)]

4] Then add some video effects [VFX] or do some color correction, cropping and stuff.

5] Now export the video in the video format in the lowest quality coz we are going edit the audio so that it sync's properly with video during a transition from video "a" to "b" if this process is not done then the videos may look jerky unless you are using a background track in the entire video.

6] Now use some sound editing software's like Sony sound forge, etc. and correct the audio during video transition by giving cross fade and various other effects as required.

7] Now detach the video layer with the audio layer and export the audio and open the video editing software that you are using .In the editing layer mute the audio of the videos. Then add the new audio in the audio layer which you have corrected in the in the sound editing software and check if its sync's with the video and then export the video.

This above process that I have explained will give the effect of continuity.

P.S: Always remember the 180 degree rule don't cross the axis and maintain the right look of the character in the frame.

Enjoy!
