Video editors capture raw digital footage from cameras and select the segments to include in the finished product. They arrange the segments on a timeline in the correct order to match the final script. Other types of media, such as sound effects, music, dialogue and animation, may also be added. After adding all necessary components, the entire project is rendered to its final format for release as a motion picture, DVD, YouTube video or other medium.
