Editing Tips
Here are few tips to help you get the most value out of your edit session:
Before the Edit Session
1. Label and number all your videotapes, photos, slides, music, etc.
2. Review and log the footage you want to use in your project.
- Rewind your tape and reset the counter to zero.
- Set your VCR to read out real time (Hours: Minutes: Seconds)
- Four digit VCR numbers are NOT accurate on our equipment
- Note the beginning and ending times of each clip you want to use.
3. Note the order that everything will appear in the finished video.
Example:

4. If you want to add narration to your project you can record your voice onto a standard audio cassette and bring it in or you can bring in your script and record it here.
5. A TV is wider than it is tall, so if you are going to use photos, horizontal images are better than vertical images. Prints transfer to video better than do slides.
