EDITING SEVERAL VIDEOS?

I have several videos that I plan to join but some need editing. Which is better?

1. To edit each one, then join them?

2. To join them, then edit the ones that need editing in that string of videos?

Thanks,

Ernie

Ernie,

The conventional way to make a video or movie is to assemble all the parts in one project, do the editing on the parts as necessary and then output a final version.

That said, you may have a meaning for "join" that I don't understand.

Good luck with your project.

Hi Bill:

When I mean join, I mean connect one video to another chronologically ordered. I just wondered if it was easier to edit those videos that needed editing before ganging, connecting, joining them together.

Thanks,

Ernie

Ernie,

I'm having a vocabulary challenge. "Join" is not a video editing word. Unless you have something I've never heard of, you can't join video files.

The original files or "clips" are put somewhere in the computer. The video editor software (Non Linear Editor or "NLE") references those files in a "project" you create. When your editing work is done, final products are "rendered". That means the NLE looks at what you've done in the project, re-reads the sources and makes an entirely new file with all the parts in it. The source files are never "joined".Several "final" products may be created for formats ranging from large TV screens to YouTube.

Putting the pieces together in chronological order is done on the editing "timeline" in the NLE.

What the "videos I plan to join" ? How many are there? Where did they come from?
