Video Editing Help Editorial Team

Editorial desk

The Video Editing Help editorial team is a desk byline, not a single person. We write plain-language guides to video file formats, codecs and editor import problems, and check them against the software makers' own documentation.

Video Editing Help publishes guides for people who need a video file to open, import or play. Articles are written and edited by the desk, and where a claim depends on a version or a setting, the guide cites the maker’s documentation.

To report a mistake or ask a question, use the contact page.
