01 / IN PRACTICEThe editing process
The editing process
matters as much as the result.
A consistent visual language
Keep fonts and styles consistent across a project to maintain a channel’s character.
Emphasize what matters
Use size and position to make the message viewers must remember stand out.
That trip was so much fun.
Interview captions
Readable even on bright scenes.
Captions can disappear over white clothes or a bright sky. Adjust the outline and background, then check them on both the brightest and darkest scenes.
Series content
Emphasis-driven Shorts
Make key words stand apart.
Instead of enlarging every word, use color and emphasis only for the important ones. A consistent style keeps the screen organized even as the video gets longer.
