Video Editing
Have footage that needs to be edited? Old film,VHS/ SVHS, DV?
The need for video editing is so vast, that is it impossible to list all the reasons. Many critical elements must be in place in order for the editing to be worth it however. Colors need to be correct, audio has to match and of course transitions must be undetected. NJ Best Video understands that your video will most likely be used for more than just personal use and it needs to be done professionally so that whether you are sending out an audition video, recruiting video, or a marketing video for your business, it will be impressive to all that view it.
What is Video Editing?
Video editing is the method by which video shots are edited or rearranged to create a new project. Editing is usually considered to be one part of the post-production process — other post-production activities include titling, color correction, sound mixing, etc. Most people use the term editing to describe all their post-production work, particularly in non-professional situations.
NJ Best Pro Video will create an effective, entertaining video using creative editing techniques to capture and keep your audience’s attention. Whether it be a social, corporate, sporting event we have the techniques and creativity to satisfy your needs with music, effects, transitions and titles.
This video was produced for the opening to the World Youth Hockey Championships held at Hollydell Ice Arena in Sewell, New Jersey and Ice Works Arena in Aston, Pennsylvania. Past players who have now made their mark in the NHL also had their footage included along with all the participant’s team’s logos. After the tournament the same video was used to attract teams from all over the world for future tournaments.
Tested a canon 100-400mm lens at the beach in Point Pleasant, NJ. Lucky for me there was a good surfer testing out the waves on a nice March morning. Over 100 photos were taken then edited down to create a montage. Any event can be photographed then edited down with music and effects to create an entertaining video. Great way to create a video memory from still photos.

As video became popular in the 80’s, Betamax then VHS and SVHS shortly followed as the norm for home entertainment outside television. Top loading VCRS followed by front loading machines. 2 Recording heads were replaced by 4, skip frame was replace by want to be slow motion and super slow motion. The units were big, heavy and took up a lot of space. The magnetic particles which held the data would stay crisp for a while. Every time you made a copy the duplicate would lose the crispness through the transfer. These copies would also lose their quality as time went on and the magnetic particles which held the video signal deteriorated. Eventually this medium and their machines became obsolete and replace by DVD.
I have hundreds of the VHS, SVHS, compact tapes, Hi8, DV cam, format tapes. Most of weddings and sporting events from as far back as the 1980’s. The best way to stop the quality deterioration is to transfer it to a format (in this case digital video/dvd). You can store more footage on a dvd, gain easier access when searching and looking for specific footage on a dvd. Most of all DVDS are much smaller, and thinner than the thick tapes which means much less storage space to be taken up.
For a small fee your memories and history will be saved to a medium that you will be able to view for generations to come.

Photography for your special event
From New York City to the southern most part of the Jersey Shore. Sunrises on the beaches of New Jersey, Ocean City Maryland and Peaks Island Maine. Most photos were taken with the Canon EOSR and the older Nikon D90. When neither were available and had to get “that shot” my Samsung cell phone was the back up plan. Montage was edited on final Cut Pro with the help of light room to touch up some of the 230+ photos.
Reasons for Video Editing
There are many explanations for requiring the editing of a clip or entire video, and the desired result can depend on your editing strategy. You need to clearly define the editing priorities before you begin, which could include one of the following: delete unnecessary material. This is the easiest and most important editing function. Through simply getting rid of the flawed and unnecessary bits, most clips can be dramatically improved.
Choosing the best footage
It is normal to capture much more footage than you need and choose only the best material for final editing. You will often shoot multiple iterations (takes) of a shot and select the best one to edit.
Focused Objectives
Many videos serve a purpose like telling a story or providing information. Editing is a crucial step in ensuring that the clip plays in a manner that achieves this goal.
Improve Impression
Apply filters, graphics, audio, and so on. This is often the editing “wow” portion. Through adding additional features, you can boost most videos
Change the Emphasis
Adjust the video’s theme, pace, or mood A good editor will generate simple video mood prompts. Techniques such as mood music and visual effects may affect the response of the viewer. Giving a different “angle” image to the video can be customized to promote a particular point of view, convey a message, and follow an agenda.
