Video Editing

Body

While there are multiple programs that can edit video, Microsoft Clipchamp is the recommended drag and drop video editor available to Extension staff, especially if you’re just starting out. Remember, the best editing technique is to do a great job of planning before videoing. 

  • What's your goal for the video?
  • Why are you making a video?
  • Who is the intended audience?
  • Where will it be posted?
  • How long will it be?

Answering these questions will help you create a storyboard that outlines the script and shots needed to tell your story. Watch this video to compare Clipchamp against two other programs that can edit video.
