X Video Editing Guide
How do you edit a newsy clip so the date, source and sequence remain visible when it is reposted without surrounding text?
Concrete example
Example: a 37-second local transit update using a station sign, the closed entrance and an official reopening notice.
Reproducible edit
Keep capture date and location in manual text, show the official notice in context, preserve chronology and avoid adding a conclusion not present in the source.
Platform boundary
