Editing Tools You Should Now

One of the three tools covered in the video was the razor/slice tool. This feature makes it possible to go anywhere in your footage and cut the clip in two parts, so that it can be adjusted as needed. Another tool is the ripple edit tool, which allows an editor to trim the in and out points of a clip, without messing with the other footage surrounding the clip. A third important tool is the rate stretch tool, which can essentially speed up or slow down a clip. This is done by clicking on the end point of a clip and dragging it to be either longer or shorter, therefore adjusting the rate at which it plays. These tools are important to learn to edit video because they are used so often that they require a general knowledge, and they can speed up the process altogether.
