This is called a selects edit which is a sample of the video footage for easy viewing.
Video footage is taken in large individual files that can be difficult to view if every file has to be downloaded and played individually, this way footage can be shown in one long timeline to make it easy to watch and also shows information like:
the name of the original clip name that should be used for editing
information about the shoot
A selects edit usually has a selection of b-roll footage
B-roll footage used as overlay on interview videos so there is relevant footage shown of what the subject is speaking about. After each shoot it’s great to build up a library of this footage so that you have lots of content that can be used for future videos without having to re-film extra content if you already have it on file in your company’s custom stock video library.
Usage and editing
The raw unedited footage is to be only edited by Fluential Studio or the company it was originally captured for unless otherwise agreed to in writing.
