# Editing camera clips

> Trim and align camera footage so presenter delivery matches the on-screen story.

## Overview

Use this workflow to clean camera takes, tighten pacing, and preserve sync with screen content.

## Before you start

* Complete script chunking first.
* Keep screen clip and camera clip visible together when possible.
* Identify scene boundaries before making deep trims.

## Steps

1. Trim dead air and obvious retakes.
2. Split long clips into scene-sized segments.
3. Align clip starts to key on-screen events.
4. Check transitions from camera-forward to screen-forward moments.
5. Play the full scene once to verify rhythm and sync.

## Check your result

* Camera delivery feels intentional, not rushed or padded.
* Scene transitions remain coherent.
* Audio/video alignment is stable after edits.

## Troubleshooting

### Camera and screen are out of sync

After trims, re-check offsets at every scene boundary. Small offset errors compound quickly.

### Cuts feel abrupt

Move cut points to natural pauses in speech or breath.

### Audio quality changed unexpectedly

Check whether additional effects or voice processing were applied after editing.
