Q4 – Editing Lesson

Posted on by mrC

When you are finished with your PSA cartoon, but before we turn that into a video, we’re going to learn a little something about editing. Editing is probably the most important part of the video creation process.

Go here and read the lesson on Editing and then do the quiz with your partner. Turn it in with both names on it.

Then practice with the editing exercise. Go to the project page for Project 3.
