Video Clipart

Videos are audiovisual media used to record and document events, tell stories, communicate messages, entertain audiences, and more. At the most basic level, a video is a series of still images called frames that are played back rapidly to create the illusion of motion. Along with the visuals, videos also capture synchronized audio – sound recorded when filming or added during production. This audio adds crucial context to the visuals.

Consumer cameras and smartphones have made video recording ubiquitous. Videos come in standard formats like MPEG, AVI, FLV, MOV, and MP4. Professional productions use codecs like ProRes or DNxHD. The video file contains compressed visual data as well as audio data. When played in media apps, the file is decoded into viewable video.

Types of Videos

There are many genres and types of videos created for different needs:

• Films – Feature movies for theater or home viewing. Fictional narratives to entertain audiences.
• TV Shows – Episodic series with multiple episodes and seasons.
• Commercials – Short advertising videos promoting brands, products or services.
• Music Videos – Present musicians and songs, aimed to promote their music.
• Educational – Instructional videos teaching skills or providing information.
• Documentaries – Nonfictional films documenting cultural, historical or social subjects.
• Vlogs – Video logs where people talk directly to the camera about topics.
• Live Video – Unedited footage transmitted in real time, like news and sports.
• Animation – Moving images created via illustration and models, not live footage.

Creating Videos

Video production involves three phases:

• Pre-Production – Planning what will be captured – casting, location scouting, storyboards.
• Production – Shooting footage using cameras and recording gear.
• Post-Production – Editing footage into a final video using software like Premiere. Adding visual effects, graphics, color correction.

Editing Videos

Video editing arranges footage, audio, graphics etc. into a desired sequence to convey meaning and emotion. Common editing techniques:

• Trimming – Cutting unwanted frames
• Sequencing – Arranging clips in order
• Pacing – Setting shot durations
• Transitions – Using fades, dissolves between scenes
• Effects – Color correction, speed changes, filters

Advanced software allows green screening, motion tracking and more.

Sharing Videos

Edited videos are exported into standards formats then hosted and displayed:

• Streaming – Uploading to YouTube, Netflix for on-demand streaming.
• Social Media – Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, Twitter.
• Websites – Hosting videos on company sites and blogs.
• Physical Media – DVD, BluRay or tape distribution.
• Broadcast – Airing on television networks.

• Engaging – Catches viewer attention with movement and novelty.
• Dynamic – Adds energy to sometimes static footage.
