Let’s commence immediately and look into 5 Common challenges Video editors face and ways to overcome them.
Video Quality Diminishes after Editing
This is a common challenge faced by Video editors. It could be that the original Video is of good quality, but after editing the quality of the video deteriorates. It tells badly on the expertise of a Video editor if his videos are of poor quality.
The images can get blurry, flicker, or not play smoothly. To overcome the poor video quality issue during editing, One way is to check settings of the original video beforehand to ensure you do the editing under the same settings without changing the first format when it comes to pixels, frame rate, HDV, Video code, etc.
Stuck and Dead Pixels on Videos
The dead/stuck pixels refer to the spots on the videos that are not wanted. The colored spots on the video screen are referred to as Stuck pixels while the black spots are referred to as dead pixels. The issue with pixels on video is a manufacturing mistake.
It is easier to fix stuck pixels but dead pixels are difficult to remove. To tackle this, when you buy a new camera and notice a pixel defect, you should return it for repair. Always check pixel issues by shooting in a very dim light.
Computer Crashes or Gets Too Slow During Editing
Video editing involves the hardware part of the computer. When your computer system specifications do not meet the demand of large videos and the editing software that is installed, then a computer crash is likely to happen. This usually happens when you are working on heavy files.
To solve this challenge, make your PC powerful enough to handle your video editing workload. Purchase the right computer and ensure the best possible system requirement is met.
Video Editing Software crashed while Editing
It is possible, that any third-party plugin that you download is corrupt and not secure. These plugins sometimes are from unreliable developers and have bugs that cause video editing software to crash. Some software may not crash but would require more processing power.
You can solve this challenge by choosing your plugins carefully. When purchasing plugins, check for the developer and look at the Customer’s reviews. Always use the latest version of plugins and when there is an error message you may need to delete and reinstall.
Video Files corrupted while Editing
No Video Editor wants to experience an issue with Video corruption. But the truth is that technical faults or accidents do happen and sometimes we may not control them. So it may be better to be ready and expect anything.
To fix corrupt videos you should choose a professional video repair software from a developer that is trusted.
Matching Out-of-Sync Audio
The out-of-sync issue is also a common video editing issue which many editors struggle with during video editing. Audio that is mismatched is not acceptable for a quality video. Although the video editing software can allow you to adjust the sound levels of the entire video clip, it could be difficult for most editors.
One way to resolve mismatch sound issues in a video is to split the video clips into smaller parts and change the video frame rate till it is in sync with the audio.
Video Editing does not only involve creativity but technicality. We are confident that by now you would have learned some challenges Video editors face and possible ways to resolve them.
