A video can be edited in several ways:
- One form is annotation. This involves adding arrows or other visuals to an extract of a programme with graphic overlays. The work itself doesn't change: the lecturer or student simply draws the viewer’s attention to certain aspects. Permitting this in an educational setting is justifiable.
- Things are different when existing resources are re-edited or adapted. In that case, the original work does change, which brings the creator’s intention and therefore their moral rights into play. This means that adaptation usually requires the creator's permission. For 'Beeld & Geluid op School' resources, the corresponding licence specifically permits digital editing with special tools.
