CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO AVID AND EDITING ■
On the other hand, we’ll say the air show itself has a concept: “You Wouldn’t
Believe Our World” is the tag line for the show. Now you have an idea. You shoot
some amazing footage and throw it together with the concept in mind. You start with
early aircraft and rush into the latest strategic attack fighters. Your edited piece now
has form and structure. In fact, it emulates the concept of the show itself.
The following sections walk you through a typical editing workflow, which
looks like this:
1. Capture
2. Edit
3. Trim
4. Import
5. Effects
6. Export
7. Output
Capture
The first step in the editing process is to capture materials from their original video
sources (see Figure 1.9). However, like all elements of the process, we can capture
different parts of our program at different times. For example, let’s pretend that you
are doing a videotape of a recent visit to France. Here is the Champs-Elysées, there is
the Eiffel Tower, and so on. One of your images was taken on a cloudy day. A friend
who also has visited France says that he or she also has some footage but can’t get it to
you until Thursday. Today is Tuesday. What do you do in the meantime? You can cap-
ture all your footage and start editing. When the additional footage comes in, you can
capture again. So although there is a general order of steps taken, you can repeat some
steps to get what you want.
