Raw editing focuses on the simplicity of the clips themselves, rather than how many effects an editor can cram into the video. It allows the editor to put more effort into the precision of their timing to create a memorable video without any sort of effects or elaborate transitions. Minor things are allowed, as listed below, but remember that less is more.
