Challenges of Video Editing
Video editing presents distinct challenges compared to audio editing, primarily due to the visual elements involved. When editing video, removing filler words can lead to awkward visual transitions, such as abrupt movements or changes in facial expressions, which are not concerns in audio editing. Users may find that while audio can be tightened up, the visual aspect can make the final product appear choppy if not handled carefully. This complexity requires additional tools or techniques, such as potential AI solutions, to maintain continuity in visuals without compromising audio quality.
