Would using a similar workflow help me with my editing?&nbsp;<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00a0Are there any features that Oz uses that I haven&#8217;t tried and think might benefit my videos?<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00a0During the video, Oz mentions pausing and reviewing what you&#8217;ve done so far. Why is it important to take time to review your video progress periodically? (Remember, the more editing you do and changes you make, if you miss something, it is usually harder to go back and correct or fix it later on after doing a lot of editing.)<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;Is there anything that surprised you or confused you about the process Oz used?&nbsp;<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;Is there anything you would have done differently? (If yes, that&#8217;s great! It&#8217;s important to develop your own process and style. It can also be helpful to review how others edit and learn from their experience as well.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-completed-video-example\">Completed Video Example<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t<div class=\"dx-block-wistia-embed\">\n\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/embed\/medias\/8d3p63cz83.jsonp\" async=\"async\"><\/script>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"wistia_responsive_padding\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wistia_responsive_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wistia_embed wistia_async_8d3p63cz83 videoFoam=true\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This video is the final version after Oz edited the video. It&#8217;s available as a reference, so you can see the final deliverable after the editing and decisions are made.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you watch this video, look for the various changes or effects that Oz added in his video. Did you notice them? Was there anything that was different or stood out to you?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Video editing, while technical and there are patterns and standards, tends to be approached differently by different editors. Some of those differences come from how the editor learned, but some of it comes from the style and what works well based on what the editor is creating.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you continue editing your videos, we&#8217;d encourage you to find the workflow that works best for your videos. Multiple approaches might work better for you than what Oz presented or what others might present throughout the TechSmith Academy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-meet-oz-du-soleil\">Meet Oz du Soleil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p style=\"font-size:14px\">Oz du Soleil creates video for the YouTube channel Excel on Fire where his Excel tutorials are known for being fun, dramatic and sometimes just plain outrageous.
