- Do you wanna create a super cool, eye-catching video
to promote your product?
You've come to the right place.
I'm about to show you a step-by-step process
you can use to create a super fun product montage like this.
(upbeat music)
You don't need any fancy equipment to shoot the videos
and the editing, it's gonna be a lot easier than you think.
Let's go ahead and get started.
All right, to start, let's get some still shots.
So for these, you can just set up your camera
or your phone on a tripod or on a flat surface.
And you're just gonna take shots
that are a few seconds long.
So go ahead and get a wide shot that has the whole
of your product in frame
then a medium shot a little bit closer
and then get a few close up shots
that show the details of your product.
Next, we're gonna add some motion to your shots
so go ahead and get a zoom in shot where you start wide
and then zoom in, zoom in and then pause.
You can do that a few times just to make sure you get
a take that you like.
Then go ahead and get a few panning shots
where you're just panning across your product,
pan up and down and sideways.
Next, you wanna get a few shots of your product in action.
For example, if your product is makeup,
you probably wanna get a few shots of somebody putting
makeup on their face or if your product is home decor
you could get some shots of somebody
hanging it on the wall.
I'm gonna go ahead and get a few shots of opening the bag.
Next, get a few slow motion shots
so any action that you think would look cool in slow motion.
So here's what those shots are gonna look like
once we put them in slow motion
and we're gonna add the slow motion effect
once we get into InVideo.
All right and the last shot you can get
is a pull focus shot.
So for this one, what you need to do
is have an object in the foreground
and an object in the background
and you're gonna start off focused on the foreground
and then switch to focus on the background.
Usually you can auto focus just by tapping
the part of the screen that you want to focus on.
And this has a very cinematic look to it.
All right, so now that we've got those shots,
I'll show you how I edited them into a product montage
using a free online video editor called InVideo.
Let's go ahead and jump into my laptop
so I can show you step by step.
All right, so I've come to the homepage of InVideo.
And the first thing I'm gonna do
is just select blank canvas, and then make a video.
So we're gonna start off just with a blank project.
All right, I'm gonna the tab on the side
that says folders and this is a great way just
to keep your footage organized.
I'm gonna create a folder specifically for this project
so we'll call it product.
And then if I click on that folder,
I can go ahead and upload the footage that I wanna use
for this project.
So I'm just going and selecting my clips
and then I'm gonna upload them into InVideo.
There's already a blank scene added on my timeline.
And the first thing I'm gonna do is just go ahead
and delete the logo and the title
that they automatically put on screen.
If you wanna put your logo for your company in the corner,
you can go ahead and do that just by clicking on it
and uploading your own logo.
For this example, I'm just gonna go ahead and delete it
and I'm gonna delete the title as well.
And then I'm just gonna duplicate that scene a few times
so that I have a few blank scenes on the timeline.
And as you can see to duplicate,
I just hover over the scene
and then click on the little plus sign icon.
And the first thing I'm gonna do is pick out a music track.
So I went to the tab on the side that says music
and then I'm gonna go ahead and search by mood.
I know I want kind of a happy backtrack
so I'm gonna click on happy right here
and then I'm gonna listen to a few of these
to see what I like.
I really like this one called This Happy Ukulele.
So I'm adding that to my project.
I think it's a really good vibe for a product montage.
It's kind of fun and uplifting
and it also has some good beats that I can go ahead
and cut my shots too.
I'll show you how I do that later.
And I'm gonna go ahead and start
with the zoom in shot that I had.
So I'm just gonna take that and drag it onto the canvas.
And then I can trim it to the spot that I want.
So I can find one of the times that I zoomed in
that I think looks the best and I'll trim just that section.
Okay, so now that's been added to my timeline
and I wanna actually make it a little bit longer
so I'm gonna click on the video and come up to trim again
and then just pull it out a little bit longer.
And then hit Done.
And then I'm gonna go ahead and mute all of my clips
because I don't need the sound that I had from the camera.
And then I'm gonna go up to the crop tool at the top
and I'm gonna crop it in a little bit closer.
I had a little bit of the wall on the side
and I don't really need that in the shot
so I'm gonna go ahead and crop that out.
And now I'm just shortening the clip
so that it cuts to the beat of the music.
All right, and that's where my next clip is gonna start.
So next step, I have a shot of me opening the bag
and I have this from two different angles.
So I'm gonna start with this kind of front view
of the product.
I'm gonna trim it to the section
where I'm opening the bag
and then I'm gonna try to cut it off,
kind of right in the middle of the action.
And that's where I'm gonna switch to the next angle.
So right about there, I'm gonna drag it back
and then I'm just dragging that scene on the timeline back
all the way so that there's no blank canvas left
on the timeline.
I'm good, and use that clip again by coming
to the volume button at the top.
And then I'm gonna go to the next angle
of the same action.
So for this one, I'm gonna try to trim it.
So I get just the end of the action of me opening the bag.
And that looks good to me so I'm gonna hit done.
For my next clip,
I wanna go with one of my slow motion actions.
So I'm gonna try this one, dragging it on
and then I'm finding the point
where I kind of pour out the bag,
right there it looks good.
And now I'm gonna come up to the speed button at the top
and pull it back to 0.5 which is gonna slow it down.
As you can see
I'm gonna crop it in a little bit again,
closer to the product.
So I think that looks pretty good.
I'm gonna pull it back so that it matches
the beat of the music.
All right, I'm adding another clip in the same way
we'd been doing.
I'm gonna select the clip I want,
click it and drag it onto the canvas.
For this one I'm using the panning across the product shot
that we got.
Find the section I want, trim it again.
I'm gonna crop that one in a little closer again.
I've been doing that with a lot of my shots.
All right, what I'm gonna do for my next shot
is do another panning shot but panning the other direction.
I think it's gonna look kind of cool
to have those both in a row.
Again, I'm trimming it to the point in the music
where I want it to stop.
And then next I wanna put my pull focus shot.
So it's gonna switch from focusing on the foreground
to the background.
So I'm finding that exact place where it happens
and trimming that.
So my shadow is pretty slow.
So I'm gonna go ahead and speed it up a little bit
by coming again to the speed button
but this time I'm gonna pull it forward
and we'll see if that looks good.
I think that looks pretty good
so I'm gonna go ahead and drag it to the spot
in the music where I want it to cut
and then this next one is gonna be my final shot
so I wanna get just a nice still shot of the product
where you can see it really well.
And it kind of just represents the product.
So here's what I like.
I'm gonna trim to the spot that I want
to turn the volume off on that clip as well.
And then I'm just gonna go ahead
and delete these two extra scenes
that I had on the timeline
'cause I'm not gonna need those.
All right, so now I have all my clips in place,
they basically cut where I want them to.
Now I'm gonna go in and add some transitions.
To edit transition just click the little box
in between every scene that has a red dash through it.
That'll pull up the transitions menu.
I'm scrolling all the way down to light leaks,
I think those transitions are super cinematic.
They look really cool.
So I'm gonna go ahead and add a few of those
but because my clips are all pretty short,
I don't wanna add a transition
in between every single one.
They might be just too short to add a transition.
So I'm just gonna add it between
kind of my longer clips here.
I think it's gonna look really nice.
And then the final thing I'm gonna do
to put finishing touches on this montage
is add a few titles on screen.
I'm just gonna kind of put some buzzwords on screen
that describe the product,
healthy, crunchy, delicious.
So I'll find the spot where I want to add those titles
and then I'm gonna come over to this text tab on the side.
There are a lot of really cool pre-made textiles.
So I'm gonna pick out one of those.
So the one that I picked out,
I liked the way it kind of jumps onto the screen.
But I do want to change the font because I think this font
isn't really easy to see on screen.
So I'm gonna go ahead and type in the word
that I want first.
And then at the top here, I'm just gonna hit Font.
I'm gonna scroll through all of these fonts
until I find one that I like
and they have a lot of options on here.
So you're bound to find one that you like.
I think I wanna make this all caps.
So I'm gonna just go ahead and change that.
I'm gonna add a shadow just to make it stand out
on the screen a little bit more.
So I'm just gonna click Text Shadow at the top
and then turn it on.
And then the other text boxes to be the same font
in the same animation.
So I'm just gonna copy this
and then paste it onto the other scenes
where I want there to be a title.
So I'm just using Command + C and then Command + B
to copy and paste onto a new scene.
And then it'll just change the words for each one.
And then the last I think I'm gonna do is just try moving
the titles around on screen a little bit.
So we'll try putting this one more in the corner
and then I'll try moving this way on around too.
So I like it right there.
All right, and that's really all you have to do.
So I'm just gonna go up to the top right-hand corner
and hit Download and Share and then hit Export.
It's gonna load a final preview for you
so you can watch it before you download it.
And then if you like it,
you can just go ahead and hit Download.
So that is the step-by-step process
how I made that fun little cinematic montage.
If you wanna make a really similar one,
you can follow the steps I showed you in this video
and you can even use the same template
that I used just by clicking on the link
