The challenge
What the edit needed to accomplish.
- Research-informed ideas need to remain accurate while becoming accessible to a casual viewer.
- A presenter-led format needs visual variety that does not compete with the lesson.
- Examples and key distinctions should be easy to remember after the video ends.
My responsibilities
- Talking-head editing
- Pacing and dialogue cleanup
- B-roll and visual examples
- Motion callouts
- Audio polish
- Selected thumbnail design
