It may happen that the original video is of good quality, but after editing the video quality deteriorates. Video editors often complain about poor video quality issue after using a video editing tool. The images can get pixelated, lose sharpness, get blurry, choppy, flicker or do not play smoothly.
There are chances that you have unknowingly converted your video settings. Even a little change, say frame rate or resolution on changing the color encoding system, like NTSC format to PAL can impact the video quality.
Fix: To overcome the poor video quality issue during editing, check the settings of the original video beforehand to ensure you do the editing under the same settings without disturbing the original format in terms of pixels, frame rate, HDV, video codec etc. This may take some time, but worth doing.
Also, to maintain the video quality, work on the high-quality source video throughout the editing process. Do not change the video format while rendering or editing. For example, if the video is shot in MPEG-2 or HD, create a master format in MPEG-2 or HD only using the same format settings in your editing software.
The dead and stuck pixels are basically unwanted spots on the videos. Stuck pixels are coloured spots (red, green and blue) appearing on the video screen. They appear when the transistor is not receiving enough power at that point, allowing light to pass through the RGB (Red Green and Blue) layer. While the dead pixels are black spots which appear when RGB sub-pixels are permanently turned off. This pixel issue is a manufacturing flaw.
Stuck pixels can be usually fixed while dead pixels are difficult to remove.
Fix: If you have bought a new camera and notice the pixels defect, it is advisable to return the camera back to the manufacturer for repair. While buying any camera, always check pixels issue by shooting in the very dim light. If you are not in a position to return/exchange your camera, then try to cover up using software plugins available online.
Video editing is a hardware-demanding process. When your computer system specifications does not meet the demand of large videos and the installed editing software, a computer crash is bound to happen. The issue mostly occurs when you are working on heavy video files. The system may freeze, shut down, or behave erratically. In the process there are chances to lose any of your important video file too or even the videos can get corrupt.
Note: Always keep the original video file in a separate folder and use its copy to do all the editing. This is to ensure that if your video files get corrupted or lost, then at least you have the original files as a backup. However, if your Videos are broken, damaged or corrupt then go for a professional video repair software.
Fix: To deal with the computer crash or slow PC issue while editing videos follow the below tips. Make your PC powerful enough to handle your video editing workload. Ensure that the best possible system requirement is met, including RAM, CPU and GPU.
It is possible that any third-party plugin that you have downloaded, is corrupt or not secure. Sometimes plugins from unreliable developer have bugs causing video editing software to crash while some may just require more processing power.
Fix: Choose your plugins sensibly. Check for the developer and its customers’ reviews. If an error message pops about a specific plugin, it is advisable to delete and reinstall its latest version or download another one. Also, do not overdo special effects in your video and if at all necessary, apply them in smaller parts of the footage creating separate clips. Nevertheless, ensure your system meets the heavy demands of video editing.
Note: Always keep the original video file in a separate folder and use its copy to do all the editing. This is to ensure that if your video files get corrupted or lost, then at least you have the original files as a backup. However, if your Videos are broken, damaged or corrupt then go for a professional video repair software.

Out-of-sync audio issue is a common video editing issue which editors struggle during video editing. Mismatch audio is simply not acceptable for a quality video. Although the video editing software allows you to adjust the sound levels of the whole video clip, it is a difficult task for many video editors. The issue usually happens when you use clips with different audio sample rates or video frame rates.
Fix: To resolve mismatch sound issue in a video, split the video clips into smaller parts and vary the video frame rate till it is in sync with the audio. Just matching the audio level lines of your video clips does not suffice to get the sound in-sync with videos.

Thanks for sharing the idea to keep the original video separate from the one we edit to make sure we have a backup copy if something goes wrong. The company I work for will be offering a new service at the beginning of next year and are working on creating a video to advertise it. Your tips should help us avoid any issues as we start editing components of the video such as color grading to improve the quality.
