Video software has become more advanced, but it is important to remember that your videos are only as good as your original footage. Software cannot magically improve the quality of your footage. Plan before you shoot. Then think about the editing as you shoot your videos. That will save you time and trouble.
When editing your video, avoid using cliché fonts and flashy effects. Like any well-designed media product, when editing a video you want to make it consistent and have a good flow. Choppy edits and flashy transitions may appear unprofessional. So, keep it simple and clean. Try to limit the use of fonts to two different types, as well as picking one single type of transition to use for your entire video.
Audio can be recorded using microphones or headsets with microphones. Some microphones have better recording quality than others. Stand-alone microphones tend to have better recording quality than headset mics, and some mics are better for single-source audio while others can pick up audio from all directions at the same time.
Be aware that audio editing software can only do so much to delete background noise or fix poor audio quality from your initial recordings, so making sure there is no noise interference when you are recording is critical to the quality of your final recording.
