• Adding music, sound effects, and ambient audio where appropriate.
• Conducting basic colour correction, cropping, and image adjustments to ensure visual clarity and consistency.
• Maintaining organized file structures, naming conventions, and version control for all project materials.
• Preparing multiple output formats (horizontal, vertical, and square video ratios) as required for educational use on different platforms.
• Communicating regularly with the supervisor to refine drafts, incorporate feedback, and adjust materials to meet project needs.
• Performing quality-control checks to ensure that edited videos are clear, accurate, and aligned with the learning objectives of each module.

Secondary tasks (as needed):
