This Is Why Editing Matters

This is why editing is important RAW edited

What it means

A calm, ordinary lake labeled “RAW” suddenly becomes an absurd underwater scene packed with colorful tropical fish and a mermaid after editing. The joke is that editing can transform boring raw footage into something wildly entertaining; the clip is set to sombr’s “back to friends,” whose dreamy music makes the transformation feel dramatic and amusing.
