clip-based editing

Clip-based editing is a method where video footage is divided into smaller segments, or "clips," which can be easily rearranged, trimmed, or replaced. This approach allows editors to work with individual parts of a video independently, making it efficient to refine storytelling, correct mistakes, or improve flow. By focusing on these manageable segments, editors can craft a polished final product. Essentially, it's like assembling a puzzle, where each piece (clip) can be moved or modified to create the desired sequence. This technique is fundamental in video production for flexibility and precision.
