Currently In The Process of Editing My Footage

One of the most common problems with editing amateur video is shaky, handheld footage. One of the best ways to smooth out shaky shots is to add a strobe effect when you edit. To create this effect, add a strobe filter (called "Posterize Time" in Adobe Premiere 6.0) in your editing program, or run your footage through an external time base corrector (TBC) with a strobe feature. The strobe essentially holds some frames on the screen longer and skips over others. This reduces the impact of the jarring shakes and creates an artsy effect. Often, the shakier the raw footage, the better it looks when strobed. This works extremely well when editing montages and highlights set to music. So, don't throw away that shaky footage. Strobe it and use it to create a cool music montage.

Parts Of The Sequence 

When editing we encountered some colour problem. You might find that a submitted video had an improper white balance. While many camcorders default to an automatic color balance mode, others require that the user select an indoor or outdoor mode or set the white balance manually. Outdoor shots recorded with an indoor white balance setting will produce images with a strong blue tone. Indoor shots recorded with the camera on an outdoor setting will produce images that are toned overly red. Some camcorders have a difficult time recording accurate colors under fluorescent or mercury vapor lights, skewing the color quality.
