Abstract

The objective of this study is to improve video editing techniques, allowing The Office

Thailand, to create high-quality videos to be used as teaching materials, which could also be
stored in a database and made available to interested persons. The Office of General Education
and Innovative Electronic Learning is an office responsible for supporting teaching
management of general education courses offered by Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University. The
