TIPS:
  • Don't use too many transitions. This goes double for anything flashy or distracting.
  • Use the 'remove noise' filter in your editing software to take out background noise.
  • Pick one piece of editing software and stick to it as much as possible. It'll make your life a lot easier.
  • Learn the basics of colour correction. Lighting, sunlight, and your choice of colour can make your media production look green, red, or blue, depending.
  • Ensure you're using a suitable device to edit. Check that you have enough hard drive space to store your production, and enough processing power to render it.
