Objective

Simple audio/video tutorials and handouts are easier to understand and implement rather than text based conversation. This projects aims on imparting the process of editing for new editors. A series of multilingual videos will be created and shared with the community which they can use while reaching out to participants of workshops they conduct or new editors.
