Everyone calls me Qian – I’m the video editor. I take what we call raw digital video, create short clips and string the clips together to produce a video that fits a brief from our client. So in this case, the video will run with a music track. I add transitions between the clips and special effects, so the video really captures the mood of the music. I work with the audio editor, to make sure sound and pictures come together seamlessly in the video segment. It’s very satisfying when it works really well.
