Video editing tools

Video editing tools enable us to edit and assemble video clips captured from camera, animations and other sources. The completed clip with added transition and visual effects could be played back. Adobe Premiere and Media Shop Pro are two good examples of these tools.

Adobe Premiere is a powerful tool for professional digital video editing. It is primarily used to produce broadcast quality movies. It has excellent editing tools that enable the programmer to work with complete flexibility. This software first digitizes the sound and video and then allows the programmer to edit them to preserve picture quality. It can edit video and multimedia movies in AVI as well as MPEG format. It can create titles and graphics and then add them to the multimedia project. It uses digital filtering for incorporating special effects. This software has applications in film editing and movie making.

Final Cut Pro is a sophisticated video editing program made by Apple. It is the editing software of choice for multimedia journalists using Apple computers, and is comparable to Adobe's Premiere video editing program.

Media Studio Pro also gives the most complete set of advanced video editing tools. It can capture the video from VCR, TV or camcorders. It is capable of capturing a batch of scenes. It brings all the components of a multimedia project like video, sound, animation and titles together. One can add effects and transitions and finally save the video in the desired format. It can retouch videos by painting directly over any frame in a video sequence. It has an audio editor, which can remove background noise and add another sound to your video.
