Exploring multimedia videos and video editors When you create your own multimedia, you take digital photographs, record videos, and so on. If you want to retouch some photographs or add to your images and sounds, you can use a program to do that. A video editor lets you edit the film you take in ways that are similar to how a professional filmmaker might edit his or her films. You can add animation and sub- titles, cut the frames differently so the focus is on another subject, and more. Many multi- media editors are available in both shareware and full versions.
