Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Identify and describe formats of digital video
   • Distinguishing features and uses of range of digital video software are determined
   • Current video software appropriate to range of given outcomes is selected
   • Limiting factors of computer hardware on video production for specified job are determined
   • Differences of image quality and image size required to deliver desired outcome are determined
   • Data input, processing and output relevant to video are explained
   • Formats employed to create given computer video sequence for specified outcome are analysed
2. Design digital video
   • Appropriate digital video software for job is assessed and selected
   • Digital video editing software is used to combine video assets
   • Variations in video frame rates are controlled as required for job to be undertaken
   • Time stamping techniques are applied to video frames as required
   • Digital video is saved using appropriate file techniques
3. Edit digital video
   • Single and multiple video tracks are edited to achieve defined outcome
   • Multiple tracks of digital video are joined according to job specifications
   • Digital effects are employed to modify and integrate digital video tracks according to job specifications
   • Time encoding is applied to single and multiple edited digital video tracks according to job specifications
   • Video track is inserted into multimedia production sequence according to job specifications
4. Present digital video sequence
   • Digital video is tested and combined with other digital imaging, sound and/or animation to create multimedia sequence
   • Multimedia sequence including video is saved and presented to client

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

design, compile, edit and present at least TWO multimedia sequences incorporating video including:

interpreting requirements from job specifications

selecting and using suitable software and hardware.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
