Video Editing with Captions

A video editor is a stack of tracks lined up in time. The video track holds clips you can see, the audio track holds the sound, and the caption track holds the words on screen. Editing means trimming what is too long, joining clips smoothly, balancing the audio, and adding captions so every viewer can follow along.
