 |
Editors working on tight deadline understand the need for proficiency and speed. If you're editing on a daily or weekly basis, you will benefit greatly from their tricks, so the fun doesn't become a chore.
Editing shortcuts are essential for a productive editing workflow. Beginning video editors should begin training their editing behaviors around these shortcuts before adopting any inefficient habits. Let's take a look at the most common editing shortcuts to help you learn new ways to save yourself time and energy on your editing projects.
The Shot List
When we talk about editing shortcuts we often think of keyboard shortcuts. Well, we'll get there, but the first and by far one of the most magical of shortcuts is a good, old fashioned shot list. Although a lot of the difficult work is done while shooting, a detailed shot list is really for the benefit of making the editor's chore easier.

| In the early days of filmmaking, clapboards where used to mark the beginning of a shot so that the editor of the film strip could visually identify different shots, even different takes. To this day it's still used and in digital filmmaking, a clapboard can also keep record of the timecode. |

Tips for Time Manipulation |
|
The problem with movies, and perhaps, also, the greatest thing about them, is you just can't show everything that happens to your character. It would take too long, and be extremely boring. So how does one go about editing out the unnecessary content? By manipulating time to your liking.
One way to portray a passage of time without taking a lot of time to show it is with the use of cross-dissolves. A commonly used application of this technique is the long walk on a deserted road. This is usually a wide shot of the character, way off in the distance, walking towards the camera. As an editor, you could allow this scene to play in its entirety, with the character taking the ten minutes to actually walk to the camera. However, since this would be agonizingly boring to watch, it's a perfect time to add some cross dissolves.

Tips for a Good Chroma Key |
|
|
Editing for green screen begins before you sit down at the keyboard. A good key begins with proper lighting and shooting techniques.
Time was that a video producer had to spend a lot of money on equipment and paint a lot of stuff a special blue or green to achieve acceptable chroma key effects. The producer also had to find and pay experts at lighting, shooting and editing the segment if she even thought about doing it for a commercial production. This story looks at three essential elements in generating a successful chroma key.
Chroma keying, also referred to as blue or green screen effect, still requires attention to lighting and acquisition. While a myriad of both dedicated chroma key programs and software that includes keying capabilities make the editing job easier, some can be more difficult than others to apply. Good keying can be accomplished with relative ease if close attention is given to lighting, shooting and editing details. Great keying can be had with just a little more effort.

Blog merupakan singkatan dari "web log" adalah bentuk aplikasi web yang menyerupai tulisan-tulisan (yang dimuat sebagai posting) pada sebuah halaman web umum. Tulisan-tulisan ini seringkali dimuat dalam urut terbalik (isi terbaru dahulu baru kemudian diikuti isi yang lebih lama), meskipun tidak selamanya demikian. Situs web seperti ini biasanya dapat diakses oleh semua pengguna internet sesuai dengan topik dan tujuan dari si pengguna blog tersebut.
Sejarah Blog
Media blog pertama kali dipopulerkan oleh Blogger.com, yang dimiliki oleh PyraLab sebelum akhirnya PyraLab diakuisi oleh Google.Com pada akhir tahun 2002 yang lalu. Semenjak itu, banyak terdapat aplikasi-aplikasi yang bersifat sumber terbuka yang diperuntukkan kepada perkembangan para penulis blog tersebut.
Blog mempunyai fungsi yang sangat beragam,dari sebuah catatan harian, media publikasi dalam sebuah kampanye politik, sampai dengan program-program media dan perusahaan-perusahaan. Sebagian blog dipelihara oleh seorang penulis tunggal, sementara sebagian lainnya oleh beberapa penulis, . Banyak juga weblog yang memiliki fasilitas interaksi dengan para pengunjungnya, seperti menggunakan buku tamu dan kolom komentar yang dapat memperkenankan para pengunjungnya untuk meninggalkan komentar atas isi dari tulisan yang dipublikasikan, namun demikian ada juga yang yang sebaliknya atau yang bersifat non-interaktif.
Situs-situs web yang saling berkaitan berkat weblog, atau secara total merupakan kumpulan weblog sering disebut sebagai blogosphere. Bilamana sebuah kumpulan gelombang aktivitas, informasi dan opini yang sangat besar berulang kali muncul untuk beberapa subyek atau sangat kontroversial terjadi dalam blogosphere, maka hal itu sering disebut sebagai blogstorm atau badai blog.
