Editorial Policy

Video Editing Help publishes guides to video file formats, codecs and editing software, written by the Video Editing Help Editorial Team, a desk byline rather than a named individual.

To learn more about the site itself, see the about page.

How articles are written

Format and compatibility facts (which codecs a camera records, which formats an editor imports, bit rates and requirements) are checked against the manufacturer’s own documentation from Apple, Adobe, Blackmagic Design, Sony, DJI and Microsoft. Those sources are listed at the end of each article. Where a vendor does not document something, the article says it is unconfirmed rather than guessing.

What we do not do

• We do not claim to have tested software or hardware unless an article says exactly how.
• We do not promote converter software, and we do not accept payment for coverage. If that ever changes, paid links will be labelled and marked as sponsored.
• We do not publish prices we cannot source to a primary page.

Corrections

If you spot an error or a vendor changes its documentation, please contact us. We correct factual mistakes promptly and update the article’s revision date.
