Editing frames of video, Aleutian offers judgment (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evaluation

'judgment' is the definition.
(I know that evaluation is a type of judgment)

'editing frames of video aleutian' is the wordplay.
'editing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'frames of' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (I've seen 'frame of' mean this (use the outside letters which frame the word)).
'video' with its middle removed is 'vo'.
'vo'+'aleutian'='voaleutian'
'voaleutian' with letters rearranged gives 'EVALUATION'.

'offers' is the link.

(Another definition for evaluation that I've seen is " Assessment".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
