Video Glossary

The glossary covers 100+ core videography and video editing terms, from foundational concepts like aperture, aspect ratio, and B-roll to technical topics like color grading, frame rate, depth of field, and rendering. It's organised A-Z so you can find any term quickly.

Terms are grouped alphabetically. Use the A-Z nav bar at the top of the page to jump directly to any letter. Click a term card to read its full definition on a dedicated detail page.

Yes, the glossary is completely free. No sign-up is required to browse or read any term. If you want to put what you learn into practice, you can open Simplified's video editor for free with a 7-day trial of any.

Use the sticky alphabet bar to jump to the right letter section, then scan the term cards. If you already know the exact term name, your browser's built-in Find (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F) is the fastest way to locate it on the page.

It is useful for anyone working with video: students learning the craft, content creators who are new to editing, marketers writing video briefs, and seasoned editors who want a quick reference. The plain-language definitions keep things accessible for all skill levels.
