The main functions are the processing or restructuring of the original material, resulting in a different target material.

Edit video nowadays can not only professionals. Thanks to the growing computer literacy, virtually any PC user can easily start using a simple video editor. For someone, video editing becomes a hobby, a favorite thing, but for us - coaches, experts, leading educational activities through the Internet, this is a necessary tool. For some time now, the number of viewers on the network has outstripped the number of readers, which means that the rejection of video communications is yesterday.

This information on any training firm informs, relying on the statistics of YouTube. If you are just beginning to explore the multimedia capabilities of a computer and create media content for your business, then it's useful for you to master elementary video editing.

The number of photo and video materials that the most ordinary family has today is huge and certainly needs to be systematized and processed. A simple and understandable program with which you can make a bright, unforgettable movie, supplemented with original special effects, can not be better suited for such purposes. In addition, similar assignments for processing media materials are increasingly being received by schoolchildren who appreciate an accessible and understandable interface with ample opportunities, for them a multifunctional program in Russian will become a wonderful experimental platform for the creation of the first author's commercials. It is likely that these useful skills will turn the hobby into a future profession.

Video editors belong to a complex class of programs. Even the usual ones include a lot of functions, it is difficult to understand with which ones. As a result, someone who has figured out at least one video editor possible, becomes his supporter and usually does not want to switch to another. This is another argument in favor of the importance of the task of the optimal choice of video editor.

Editing a video is a process of manipulating video images. Previously, this was done on expensive machines, called video editors. Now video editing is available for personal computers and workstations. Editing video includes cutting segments (trimming), re-assembling clips, and adding transitions and other special effects. To perform this work, we use a video editor - a computer program, which includes a set of tools that allow you to edit video files.

Besides being able to cut and glue together the fragments of video and sound, the latest programs allow you to change the characteristics of the video, create a variety of transitions between clips, zoom and video format, add or remove noise, perform color correction, add titles and graphics, manage the sound track, finally creating a stereoscopic video (3D).

Also, in video editors there are such functions as: setting the introductory and final text of a video or selecting background music from your own music files; video tools that include cropping, rotating, adjusting (brightness, saturation, hue) and speed (fast and slow motion); the imposition of a voice; applying a close-up; add effects of jumps, tilt and shift, mosaic and face-off; a huge selection of visual effects; a huge selection of transient effects; PIP-video; saving video in any format, as well as the ability to directly publish on YouTube or Facebook.

According to professionals, in the near future amateur programs will automatically determine the quality of the processed video-photographic material; learn to determine the style, themes of the video series; depending on the content, the program will build a sequence of frames; the video editor of the future is built on an engine combining 2D and 3D technologies. Thus, it is possible to improve not only the amateur video, but also to radically restore all the old films without exception.

Also, the use of video editors is quite extensive. We meet this often in everyday life. First of all, these are films, commercials, videos on YouTube. But on this use is not limited. For ordinary people it will be very useful knowledge of the video editor that would use it in work or study. This gives us the opportunity to create spectacular presentations, reviews on any items of interest to us, video letters. In the artistic field, the video editor allows you to create animated works or parts of interactive books. In this way, we can conclude that video editors have a positive impact on the photo and video media of our time.
