Color correction is the process of adjusting the color and brightness of footage to match other shots or to achieve a desired look. Editing software provides tools like color wheels and curves to alter image attributes.

B-Roll is supplemental or alternate footage that's intercut with the main shot in an interview or documentary. In editing software, you insert B-Roll clips over the primary footage to add visual interest or context.

A transition is an effect that helps to smoothly change from one scene to another. Common transitions include fades, wipes, and dissolves, which can be applied from a library of effects in editing software.

A montage is a series of shots edited together to condense space, time, and information. In software, multiple clips are combined to show the passing of time or a series of actions.

Color grading is the creative process of giving a scene a particular 'look' by altering the color and contrast. In editing software, this might involve using LUTs (Look-Up Tables) or manual adjustments to color hues, saturation, and black levels.

An asset in video editing refers to any media element, like videos, images, audio files, etc., that can be used in a project. Editing software often includes an asset library or media bin to organize and access these elements.

A bin is a folder within editing software used to organize and store your assets. Similar to folders on a computer, bins help keep your clips, images, and other media organized.

Composite in video editing refers to the combination of visual elements from separate sources into a single image. In editing software, you use layers, masks, and keying tools to create a composite image.

A LUT is a pre-set color profile used for color grading that applies to video footage to achieve a specific look or to standardize color across different shots. Editing software allows importing LUTs and applying them to clips for consistent coloring.

Rendering is the process by which editing software generates a final video output from the composite work of audio, video, and effects. This process may take time, depending on the complexity of the project and the power of the computer.

Warp Stabilizer is a tool that helps to smooth out shaky or jittery footage. In editing software, it can be applied to clips that require stabilization, and the parameters can be adjusted for the desired amount of stabilization.

A match cut is an edit that gives a sense of continuity by cutting from one visually similar scene to another. In editing software, you look for frames that match in action, shape, or composition to create this seamless transition.

A voiceover is a piece of narration in a non-documentary film where the speaker is not seen. Within editing software, voiceover can be added to a video by recording or importing audio files and syncing them with the visual footage.

A J-Cut is the opposite of an L-Cut, where the audio from one clip continues to play over the start of a new video clip. This technique is also managed by overlapping the audio track onto the next video clip in editing software.

The timeline is the part of the editing software where you sequence and edit your clips. You can adjust the order, timing, and effects of clips on the timeline to create a coherent video.

A ripple edit automatically adjusts the timing of adjacent clips when making an edit to one clip, to prevent gaps. This is a feature in many editing software programs, which helps in maintaining the timeline consistency.

A slip edit allows you to move a clip's in and out points within the same duration on the timeline, changing the clip content without affecting its length. This is often done in editing software by dragging the clip inside its own boundaries.

A cut is the most basic transition in all of video editing. It simply means moving from one clip to another. In editing software, you might use a cut by simply placing two clips next to each other on the timeline.

A keyframe in video editing is a frame where you set specific parameters for an effect, which then gradually change to another keyframe's parameters. They are often used in editing software to create smooth animation or transition.

A slide edit moves a clip back and forth in the timeline while the durations of adjacent clips adjust to compensate. In editing software, this is performed by dragging the clip left or right with a special tool to 'slide' its position.

Non-linear editing is a method of editing digital video where you can access any frame without playing the video from the start. Most modern editing software uses NLE, allowing for random access to clips and easy reordering.

A sequence is a series of clips or images arranged to tell a story or show a progression. In editing software, a sequence is represented by a series of clips laid out on the timeline.

A jump cut is an abrupt transition between two shots from a single sequence, making the subject appear to jump from one position to another. This can be done in editing software by cutting out a middle section of a single clip.

An L-Cut is when the audio from the following scene starts playing before the video cuts to it. In editing software, it occurs by extending the audio track into the next clip while the video track stays the same.
