Are you struggling with ScreenFlow 10 video editing? Today I'd like to share
five quick tips and shortcuts to help make the video editing phase go faster.
Hi, I'm Teena Hughes of TeenaHughesOnline.com.
Ready? Let's dive in!
Tip number one - To zoom in and zoom out on the screen,
I hold down the Command key with my left hand and then I press the equal sign with my right hand.
So that zooms in. That's Command equals. To zoom back out again, I hold Command and the
minus sign or the dash. You can see me pressing that, so it changes between zoom in and zoom out.
Tip number two - with this quick tip, we're going to zoom in on the Timeline just by pressing
the equal sign and then to zoom back out again on the timeline, press the minus sign or the dash.
And that's really so easy. Sometimes I like to zoom in when I'm trying to
do some cropping or manipulating of some kind. And it's a handy key to know.
In tip number three, we're going to look at splitting a clip by using the letter T.
In the beach day example on the screen, I'm going to select one clip here (one
text clip), and this is just the name of my website. So down here in the Timeline, I'll
be able to see that clip because it has the yellow border around it. Now, right now I could actually
press the T that splits the clip. I could drag the playhead along a little bit, split it again with
the letter T and then with this part here (in the middle) that you can see with the yellow border,
I can actually change the font color and/or change the font size or whatever I like.
So here, I'm going to select a solid text color and it's going to be black.
So let's have a look at that. So here, the font is white,
goes black, and then it goes white again. So that's how I use the letter T for splitting
a clip, whether the clip is audio or video, or if it's an image you can use the T for all of those.
In tip number four, I'm going to show you how I quickly copy anything that is already in the
Timeline. For example, here I have clicked on the video part of this video and with the playhead,
if I move the playhead to the end, I can then Command C on the video and then command V.
So that's copy and paste, and it's put it down here. I'll just drag it into position.
So now we have the video that's already in that video, and then I've just duplicated
the movements and everything exactly the same. So that's just command C for copy and command V
for paste. And you can do that with any of the assets whether a video, audio, texts, et cetera.
Tip number five is the last tip. And the beauty of this one is that you can click on a video
(I can either click up here on the screen, or I can click down here in the Timeline).
And if I wanted to extend the video, just to make it line up with something, or for whatever
reason - in this case, I'm going to go to the end of the video. I'm going to select Command Shift F
for freeze frame. And as you can see on the screen here, a new little Item has appeared
(a new asset), and this is a "still" taken from the video wherever I had the play head,
because I had the play head at the end of the video clip.
That's where it put the new one. So just imagine if you wanted to stop a video in
the middle and talk about something and just see a freeze frame -this is what you would do.
So that's Command Shift F for freeze frame.
Okay that's all the tips for today. How exciting! I love learning new things, what about you?
