Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to edit and add video to multimedia presentations.
It applies to individuals who select and use appropriate software and hardware to produce digital video sequences to meet required outcomes.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 Identify and describe formats of digital video | 1.1 Distinguishing features and uses of range of digital video software are determined 1.2 Current video software appropriate to range of given outcomes is selected 1.3 Limiting factors of computer hardware on video production for specified job are determined 1.4 Differences of image quality and image size required to deliver desired outcome are determined 1.5 Data input, processing and output relevant to video are explained 1.6 Formats employed to create given computer video sequence for specified outcome are analysed |
2 Design digital video | 2.1 Appropriate digital video software for job is assessed and selected 2.2 Digital video editing software is used to combine video assets 2.3 Variations in video frame rates are controlled as required for job to be undertaken 2.4 Time stamping techniques are applied to video frames as required 2.5 Digital video is saved using appropriate file techniques |
3 Edit digital video | 3.1 Single and multiple video tracks are edited to achieve defined outcome 3.2 Multiple tracks of digital video are joined according to job specifications 3.3 Digital effects are employed to modify and integrate digital video tracks according to job specifications 3.4 Time encoding is applied to single and multiple edited digital video tracks according to job specifications 3.5 Video track is inserted into multimedia production sequence according to job specifications |
4 Present digital video sequence | 4.1 Digital video is tested and combined with other digital imaging, sound and/or animation to create multimedia sequence 4.2 Multimedia sequence including video is saved and presented to client |
Evidence of Performance
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.
Evidence of Knowledge
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
outline important considerations when combining digital video with other digital imaging, sound and/or animation to create a multimedia sequence
summarise the features of current video software programs, including the differences between the programs
explain the limiting factors of video production on computers
determine how the differences of image quality and image size are obtained
describe the process used to combine video assets
explain how variations in video frame rates are controlled
explain why time stamping techniques are applied to video frames.
Assessment Conditions
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the digital media technologies field of work and include access to software, hardware and equipment and materials required for construction and editing of video files.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Foundation Skills
This section describes language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills incorporated in the performance criteria that are required for competent performance.
