Video Editing Exercise #1

Jul 8, 2025

By Zikang Deng

As part of my daily editing practice, I explored how music and timing can reshape audience perception using existing game footage. This project focuses on rhythm-driven re-editing and pacing control.

Editing is about rhythm and reinterpretation.

For this exercise, I re-edited official Arknights PV footage by replacing the original background music and restructuring the pacing around a new audio track.
Using DaVinci Resolve, I focused on precise beat alignment, tightening cuts and adjusting transitions to enhance momentum and emotional impact.
The final video reached approximately 150,000 views on Bilibili, demonstrating how timing refinement can significantly reshape audience perception of existing material.
