    uniE608 Social Media Clip Edited by Ryan Balmer
    I did an internship where my tasks were to find and select clips from hour-long raw footage and edit it to increase retention (removing filler words and extended silence, changing the aspect ratio, and displaying each speaker appropriately.), and edit audio (for this particular footage, one of the speakers had peaking audio and I edited it to the best of my ability to sound as it should.) I also animated the logo at the end on my own free time, and it is now incorporated at the end of every clip for that podcast. video videoeditor editor
