3 Quick Questions (With Answers)

1. Describe the system or process from this lesson in clear steps.

Video recordings can be imported into video editing software, so they can be edited. Different tools can be selected for different editing purposes.

2. Define this computing term and give one practical example. 'import'

copying a file or data into a program from a different program. Add one real device or system example to prove understanding.

3. Correct this common computing misconception.

Mistake: All video can be improved using editing tools. Correction: Some video can't be improved using the editing tools or the process will take too long, in this case it might be better to reshoot the video altogether.
