Video editing is a subject that focuses on the fundamental aspects of editing in audiovisual language as a fundamental process within post-production. In this sense, theoretical topics are covered to understand the basics of audiovisual editing and the parameters that are part of the possibilities of this area, as well as technical aspects of using a non-linear editing program.

The classroom (physical or virtual) is a safe space, free of sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and discriminatory attitudes, either towards students or towards teachers. We trust that together we can create a safe space where we can make mistakes and learn without having to suffer prejudice from others.

Rules for evaluation

The subject evaluates theoretical and practical knowledge with an equal percentage due to the nature of the subject. In this sense, to make an average, both the part called theoretical (Exam, Questionnaires) and the practice will be taken into account. In this sense, a minimum grade of 5 is necessary in the final exam to pass the subject.
Beyond these two major blocks, the following should be considered:
- To pass the subject it is necessary to obtain a final average higher than 5.
- No grade for any activity included in the evaluation below a grade of 4 is average. In the case of the final exam, the minimum grade to make an average is a 5.
- No work submitted after the deadline is accepted.
- Missing spelling, grammar and layout will be noted, and may lead to the suspension of a work. More than 15 misspellings involve suspense.
- Plagiarism involves suspending any work with a 0. A second plagiarism by the same student involves the suspension of the subject without the right to recovery.
- There is no recovery for the internship part of the subject. If the average is less than 4, this means the suspension of the subject.

Identification of plagiarism is considered a serious circumstance that may lead to a failing grade in the subject. In case of detection of plagiarism, the coordination of the degree will be informed so that the corresponding disciplinary measures can be taken.

Any form of academic fraud will be sanctioned in accordance with the center's assessment regulations. If signs of fraud are detected, including the improper use of generative artificial intelligence tools, the subject's teaching staff may call the student for an individual interview with the aim of verifying their authorship.
