Video editing is the process of manipulating and rearranging video shots to create a new work. It involves combining multiple video clips, adding effects and transitions, adjusting color and audio, and trimming and rearranging footage to create a cohesive final product. Video editing can be used for a variety of purposes, such as creating films, TV shows, music videos, commercials, social media content, and more.

The goal of video editing is to tell a story or convey a message using visual and auditory elements. A good video editor must have a strong understanding of storytelling, pacing, and visual communication to create engaging and effective content.
