Week 2: Video editing in Photoshop

In week 2, we discussed video creation and editing ahead of our first prototype assessment: a video prototype.  We looked at different types of video (educational vs promotional) and the steps involved to create a video: script, storyboard, voiceovers, video, and music.  Part of the challenge of the video prototype assessment is shooting the video on a mobile phone.  To this end, we were reminded of the importance of shooting horizontally, not vertically!


However, most of the workshop time was spent of learning how to edit video in Photoshop.  We went through a tutorial that covered importing, splicing, transitions and adding audio.

I am quite experienced with Photoshop for image creation and manipulation, but the closest I have previously come to video editing was using Photoshop to create GIFs from video files of my cats.

It was good to learn something new and I am looking forward to practicing this skill over the next few weeks.
