cuts and moves (the editing process)

In video editing, "cuts" refer to transitions between different shots or scenes, effectively choosing where one scene ends and another begins to tell the story smoothly. "Moves" involve adjusting the position, scale, or orientation of a shot within the frame—such as zooming in or panning across a scene—to enhance visual interest or clarify information. This editing process involves selecting the best shots, arranging them in the right order, and refining their presentation to create a coherent, engaging story. Both cuts and moves are fundamental tools used to shape the rhythm, pace, and visual flow of a video.
