Ahoj! This is Zdenka.
I get asked quite often what beginner's
friendly and budget friendly software for video editing I recommend.
Out of all the software, I decided to partner up with Wondershare Filmora.
Wondershare Filmora 11 has been just released with many helpful features.
It is super easy to use, even for those with zero editing skills.
For those who are not familiar with this software,
as I haven't introduced it on this channel yet, link to the software can be found
below the video in a video description for you to try it out.
This video will be a quick overview of all the features.
I'm going to start with very basic editing, and then I'm going to move on
to the rest of the features.
I will also place timestamps below the video.
And if you are new here, welcome. My name is Zdenka
Darula. This channel is all about photography and video,
tech reviews, creative camera challenges and hidden giveaways.
If that's something you are interested in, consider subscribing.
When you open up the software, you will be greeted
with this interface. On the left you can select
If you want to create a new project, enter Instant Mode, which is a new feature.
All you have to do is choose one of the pre-designed templates,
select your clips and within a few minutes you will have the final video created.
Below is Instant Mode
you can enter a creator's academy where you can watch very interesting tutorials.
Let's go back to create the new project at the top.
Aspect ratio allows you to choose the size of the video you need.
I'm going to leave it at a standard 16x9 widescreen.
If you want to go ahead and create your project,
you would just head the blue New Project button.
There are 4 more options below for specific tasks quickly on the go.
First one is auto reframe.
This is for when you have a certain clip or video where you quickly want to change
aspect ratio or speed or both.
Auto montage maker is a new feature.
Let's say you filmed a long clip and you want to show
a very quick highlight video on your social media.
Here you just upload the clip,
the software will analyze highlights of the clip.
You will choose the length of the final video.
Once it is processed, you will end up with synchronized video with the music.
You can change the music if you like.
PC screen lets you record your screen just like I'm doing right now.
AI Portrait will take you directly to the effects panel
where you can apply any of these effects on your clip.
All right, it's time to hit the new project
button to enter the main part of Wondershare
Filmora. Let's explain what do you see on the screen?
The screen is divided into three big sections.
Left top section allows you to navigate through
media, stock media, which is a new feature.
Here, you can download royalty free files from these stock agencies
directly to this software without even going to their websites.
Audio files. Here you can download some choices of royalty free files.
Titles have quite large selection of pre-designed titles. Transitions,
affects, elements and split screen.
Right side is where you are going to see your video
and below we have the main timeline.
So how do you import media? In this section
you can choose if you want to import files or folders with all videos.
You can import from a camera or a phone or import with audio montage maker.
You can also record from a webcam, your PC screen and voice over.
I'm just going to hit the plus and import some clips.
How do you edit a clip?
To add the clip to the timeline
simply drag the clip on video track or hit the plus sign.
You can also add multiple clips at the same time.
Simply highlight them, then drag or hit the plus sign.
Now you can see a preview of your clip on the right.
This is where you can play the clip.
Playback quality is set to full by default.
If you have a slower computer, this is where you can reduce a quality
right here. Next to it is preview quality and display settings.
You can take a snapshot of the current frame you see
adjust volume and see full screen preview.
Let's go back to timeline and take a look at the clip.
You can see an actual video.
If you drag the red line, you will see a certain part of the clip.
You will see the frame.
Below is a waveform, which shows your audio.
If you see the clips too small, you can go here to the right side
and hit zoom to fit the timeline, or zoom in or zoom out with the slider.
You can also do that with your mouse.
Once you go over this red line, the cursor will change into a double arrow.
Click with mouse and hold and then just move left
and right to zoom in and zoom out.
Let's return to the clip to show you basic editing.
If you want to cut the clip, remove
something within the clip, like this little part here,
you can just move the red line here.
Hit the scissors to cut.
You can do the same thing again and then hit Delete on your keyboard
or here on the left to remove the clip.
Or what I find is faster is simply go to the edge of the clip,
you will see that the arrow will change to this and simply drag to the spot
you want a clip to start at. Once
you let go
It's already edited out. And you can continue like this.
If you have more clips and you need to change the order,
you can just drag them to where you wanted the clips to be.
If you make a mistake, you can always hit the undo button
on the left or use shortcut CTRL + Z.
If you want to add B-roll or clip over the talking head,
you will hit the plus sign on the left, which manages tracks.
Choose to add a video track.
Now here you can drag the clip, which will go over,
and then he just drag it to the position you want.
If you want to add music, the same thing. Go to manage
tracks and choose to add audio track.
You will drag the audio there, music, sound effects, voiceovers, you name it.
So this would be the basic editing.
How do you add transition?
Let's go to the upper panel and select transition.
Choose the one you like, download it and drag it between two clips.
Now the transitions has been applied.
If you want to make the transition longer or shorter,
you just drag the side in or out.
If you double click, more settings will show up.
How do you add a title?
Again, let's go to the top panel.
Select the title you prefer and drag it above the selected clip.
Select the title,
go to your video preview panel.
Click on the title and the little group controller will pop up.
If you select that, you can make the title smaller or bigger and more
with where you want it to be.
If you double click the text, you can change it to whatever
wording you like, change the font, color and more.
Let's explore other features and clip controls.
I'm going to click on the clip to highlight it.
I can also see that the little icons here changed.
New ones showed up.
If I double click this top parts changes as well.
Let's go through these icons first. Undo will return you to a previous step
you've made.
Here is delete.
Here are split. Next, we have a crop.
Here are two things you can do.
If you need to display a small clip over the main clip,
you can slide the portion to display by dragging and resizing.
You can also change aspect ratio or whatever is offered or create your own.
You can also
create a pan and zoom in this section,
simply drag the end window where you want the pan to finish.
You can make the larger so zoom in or smaller to zoom out.
You have further controls at the bottom.
Zoom and zoom out pan from left to the right,
from left to the right and swept the start
and end points.
Next icon are speed controls.
Here you can slow it down,
speed it up, freeze the frame and reverse the movement of the clip.
On the top, you have uniform speed and new feature speed ramping.
Let's go to a uniform speed. Now we see the controls in the upper panel.
Let's go to speed ramping,
this is so easy to use.
You have already pre-designed effects, which you can still fully customize.
However, if you want to create your own,
let's look at the customize option.
When you drag the point up, you will speed it up.
When you drag it down, you will slow it down.
You can also save it as a preset.
Advanced color tool
is the next icon. Let's select color correction.
You can either use any of the presets and then tweak them yourself,
or you can go directly into adjust where you can create the look you want.
You can create pretty much everything here.
If you go to white balance, for example, you can just drag
to make the image more blue or warmer.
If you go to HSL, you can select just a color you want to work with
and change the color the way you want.
You can save the look as your own custom preset.
Another option is color match.
If you have a clips, which are a little bit different in terms of color or light.
Like, for example, if you don't film in manual mode,
but you film an automatic and colors changed a bit on that selected clip.
This tool is very handy.
Select the frame on the clip and hit Match.
Chroma key in this software is super easy to use.
Here's a clip with a green screen. I just simply select
the green with the color picker, and it's gone.
If it's not completely gone,
you just slide the controls below to adjust and remove it completely.
Duration is next, where you can control how long the final video will be.
This will also affect the speed of the clip, though.
Motion tracking feature is also very helpful.
Very simply, select an object in your clip
with this square. You can resize it the way you like.
This will track your object.
Once it is rendered, you will be able to attach a clip to it
or .gif from your computer, or you can place the mosaic over.
For example, if you want to blur out face or license
plate on a car. Key framing is also very simplified.
For example, if I want the clip to zoom in, I will create a new key frame
by pressing add, go to place
where I want to zoom to finish and just scale the clip.
Now to Zoom is finished.
If I don't
like the keyframes I created, I can delete them as well.
You can rotate the clip and also adjust opacity.
Edit Icon will bring you further controls at the top. Under transform
you can rotate the clip,
flip, scale and position it to where you want.
For example, if your horizon is not perfectly straight,
this is where you can fix it.
Composing will allow you to blend clips.
For example, if I want to add this old look to the video,
I will drag the clip on a top and use overlay
to blend them.
Next control I didn't talk about yet is the stabilization.
Here's where you can get rid of the unwanted shake in your video.
Lance correction is next.
Here you have a selection of cameras to choose from.
Drop shadow allows you to add
shadow to the graphics titles and video.
Last one is auto enhance.
Right
beside the basic controls, you will see masks. You can import your custom shape
or select a predesigned mask. Drag it over to clip and choose
the area of the frame you want to mask out.
There's one more column I didn't cover here,
and there will be the audio. You can fade in the sound or fade out.
Change the pitch, use equalizer,
remove background noise, lower the volume of other clips
and to normalize the volume of the clip by hitting audio normalization.
Last controls is silence detection.
If I had a clip, for example, where I was talking and I've had many pauses,
I can remove the pauses with literally one click.
Where you see this flat look in a wave form,
this is where the drop is happening.
You can select how big silence areas you want to cut out.
For example, I am going to select two seconds, hit restart,
and now you can see that it removed those areas.
If you're right click the clip,
you will get access to all these controls and much more,
such as detach audio. Right at the top
you have another menu where you can save the project
and export the final video by hitting Create Video.
Select the folder where you want to save the final video
and adjust settings such as resolution.
