Video Editing, compositing
& MOTION GRAPHICS Course

Did you know that a viewer can absorb 95% of the message through a video? We all tend to retain information better through visual form of content. The impact of a video can be strong enough to convince a potentially interested person to make a purchase. In fact, 84% consumers tend to make a purchase after watching explainer videos. Thus, there is a wide scope for video editing and motion graphics today.

What is the Difference between Video Editing, Video Compositing, and Motion Graphics?

Video editing involves compiling existing videos and adding other elements such as sound effects, visuals, lighting, and subtitles to make a complete video of a professional quality. Filmmaking involves compiling multiple videos, adding various sound effects to them, adding other visual elements such as computer-aided graphics, and improving the overall quality. Even commercial videos such as ads and reels involve video editing with addition of logos, improving quality, adding sound tracks, and adding text.

Video compositing involves compiling two or more video clips to make one video. Fils, series, and documentaries are made by compiling multiple videos of different scenes. It is a major part of video editing.

Motion graphics, on the other hand is the process of animating graphical content like icons, logos, typography, and various visual elements and incorporating them into an existing video. Videos that involve 2D or 3D animation include motion graphics. Adding motion graphics to existing video clips is also a part of video editing. 

Thus, one may say that video compositing and motion graphics are both part of video editing. The process involves multiple steps, one of them being compositing and the other being motion graphics.

What is the Current Scope of Video Editing and Motion Graphics?

Visual content is utilized in several industries due to the impact it can create on a viewer. Following are some of the industries creating videos with motion graphics:

Film & Television

The use of animation has increased in films and web series. A lot of scenes are shot over green screens after which the editors add a background that is made using designing and photo editing software. The credits at the end of the film or every episode, subtitles, infographics used in documentaries, and visual effects added to a music video – all are a part of adding motion graphics.

Advertisements

Television and cinema advertisements, which can now also be aired on YouTube and other social media platforms utilize motion graphics for branding, adding text, including infographics, and using other visual elements for product explainers or entertainment. Even though advertisements are less than a minute long, they too require a lot of video editing for adding sound effects, motion graphics, and improving the overall quality of the video. 

Promotional Videos for Social Media

Branding and adding text to videos is basically adding motion graphics to videos. Both Instagram reels and YouTube videos require the use of motion graphics to make an appealing, promotional video. From product explainers and educational content to memes and entertaining videos, all commercial videos utilize motion graphics.

Video Games

The gaming industry has evolved drastically with the onset of 3D animation. Motion graphics, however, are used in all kinds of video games – whether it is a highly simulating game like Dota or War of Warcraft, or a simple 2D puzzle game. Screensavers and ad content of the game also utilizes motion graphics.

Educational Content

The field of education too has evolved from learning through text books and notes to visual aid of learning. Educational videos are made at both school and university level for all kinds of fields, especially those including science or geography, where visuals play a key role in understanding the subject.
