There are hidden features in Fillmora9 that I bet you didn't even know existed
and today I'm gonna talk about three of them all of which can be found
under the Preferences menu number one the default duration settings the first
option is photo duration photo duration allows you to see how many frames or
seconds of space that you want any image you use in your project to occupy bring
a photo down into your timeline and you'll see this setting in action here's
five frames and here's one frame this can be super important if you're trying
to create any kind of animation where you need your images to only occupy a
single frame transition duration has a similar function allowing you to control
the preset amount of time in frames or seconds that the transitions in your
timeline will last make them shorter or longer depending on which you tend to
use more often and you can always adjust them individually in your timeline
afterwards the effect duration much like the other duration features this allows
you to control the preset amount of time in frames or seconds that the effects
which you bring down into your timeline will last these can also be adjusted
individually afterwards as well freeze duration now some of you might be
thinking what the heck is a freeze so let me show you if you right-click on
any piece of footage in your timeline while the playhead is placed somewhere
within that segment in the menu which opens up you'll see the ability to add a
freeze frame this will automatically capture a freeze
frame of whatever frame the playhead is currently on and insert it where the
playhead currently sits use that freeze duration to set the default amount of
frames or seconds you'd like those freeze frames to exist for you can
individually adjust these freeze frames afterwards by left clicking on the green
bar that defines it and dragging either end to modify either where the freeze
frame begins or how long you want that freeze frame to last the second feature
you may not know about is photo placement there are three options in the
photo placement feature and by default the first is fit fit will take any photo
you bring into your timeline and make it fit the preview window based upon which
ever is larger the whip or the height and bring that dimension
as far outward from the center as your project window allows within that
preview window crop to fit this will take the image you bring into your
timeline and take the shorter of the two dimensions the width or the height and
bring that dimension as far outward from Center as your project allows within the
preview window pan and zoom will add the default centered pan and zoom effect to
whatever piece of footage or image you bring down into your timeline and apply
it over the length of that clip the longer your clip the slower your pan and
zoom you can adjust this effect individually afterwards by
right-clicking on your content in the timeline and choosing crop and zoom and
then pan and zoom if you put multiple pieces of content back-to-back filmora
will alternate the zoom for each starting with the inward zoom and then
shifting to the outward zoom on the next and so on the third and final feature is
insert mode insert mode allows you to define how an image or piece of footage
will be inserted into your project the first option is split selected track
only and insert if your track is selected in your timeline which you can
do by clicking on the left side of that track you'll notice the color becomes
darker meaning that track is activated when you then choose content from the
upper left by right-clicking on it and choosing insert it will insert that
piece of footage or image wherever your playhead is located if that happens to
be in the middle of another image or piece of footage filmora will split the
track at that point and insert that piece of content on that track leaving
the other tracks unaffected the second option is split all tracks and insert
when you insert a clip using the same method I just described filmora will now
split and insert that clip into the track you've selected right where the
playhead is but also split all the other tracks in your project allowing for your
insert to be placed into the entire project and aligning every other track
accordingly if you want to learn more cool filmora tips tricks and techniques
