Hey everyone and welcome back to another Tuesday tip where in this video
I'm going to be talking about a few specific
functions within the splice video editing app for iPhone and before we get started if you are here looking for a complete overview and
tutorial on this app
I
Already have that video made which I will link in the info card right here for you guys to click on as well as in
The description down below this like I said is about a few specific
Functions within the app but the complete overview and tutorial that I have goes over
Every single function of this app and shows you how to do it
So if you're interested, you know where to find it
And with that being said the first function that I'm going to be talking about here is the one that I get the most questions
About and that is how to select a specific
Portion of a song to use within your project and how to pick where the song starts and ends
specifically within the song so to do this
Let's pick a song from the audio library
That splice gives us going to pick cheerful and pick this first song here then push add
It does give you a preview beforehand
I'm just gonna push add and it's going to go into the project as you can see with this blue track right here
that we can slide through with our finger and
To answer the question of how you select a specific
Portion of this song you have to do so within the timeline here and you can use the split function
That shows up once you click on the audio
And now that the songs in our video project you can see that the entirety of the song is here
So we have to select which portion of it we want to use in the video and to do that
We're going to use the split function
which you can see is in the bottom row of icons and all you have to do is find the part of the song that
You want to be the beginning make sure that you touch the song because if you touch off of it like I just did it
disappears
But all you have to do to bring it back up is press this white
Square with a music note in it and it brings it back up
You can see that our split function is here and just so you guys can experience this and see that we're putting a specific
Portion of the song in the beginning. Let's push play from about the 12 second mark
Now we want to split it right here where she says I don't trust you
We're going to push split it splits it into two different parts
and as you can see these white squares show up at the beginning of every single piece of
audio that you have in your project also as you can see
It keeps the first portion of the song
Selected and all we have to do to bring this part of the song that we want to the beginning is push
Delete on the first portion
Then press this white square to bring up our selected portion of the song
Click and hold on the song and you can feel some haptic feedback
Here depending upon your phone and then we just drag it to the beginning. So keep doing that
You can also
Pinch to zoom in and out on your project so that it can make it easier to drag the song to the beginning
So we're gonna touch and hold again drag it all the way to the beginning now, we're going to push play
There you go and that was the exact moment that we pushed the split button
I've had a lot of comments saying that people have tried this and it didn't work and I believe what was happening
Is that people were accidentally?
Trimming the song back to the beginning which if you want to know how to trim audio and video within this app
That's another specific function. I wanted to cover in order to trim your audio
All you have to do is push and hold on that point where it will give you some haptic feedback
And then you drag back and forth
anywhere you want it to go to extend or
Decrease the length of your audio then from here in order to trim video
All you have to do is touch the video it will highlight it in blue to where you can see that there's little white lines
at the beginning and ends of our clip and you do the exact same thing touch and hold on the
Beginning and end but with the video it turns yellow
so we know that we're trimming it and you can actually select a very
Specific point in the video because it gives you a preview with the preview window
I want to end it there
We can also do the exact same thing with the beginning by just touching and holding waiting for it to turn yellow then
Extending it or shortening it to select the specific starting point that we want for the clip and as can see while we're dragging
It's changing the beginning point of the project as a whole
Which is a neat little feature that they also threw in there another question
I've received quite a few times is why can't I put specific songs from my iTunes library?
Into splice and the answer to that directly from the developers of splice itself. Is that
sometimes there's confusion in which songs in your iTunes library actually come from Apple music if you have a song
Downloaded to be listened to offline from Apple music. It will show up in your iTunes library
But because it's from your subscription to Apple music and because you didn't buy it from iTunes
Directly you can't use it within splice with that being said
let's show you guys that adding sound effects and editing those is
Exactly the same as editing your music
All you have to do is click and drag on the beginning or the end to trim it
You can also adjust the speed as well as the volume of sound effects music
Audio recordings as well as the audio from your video directly within the app independently of each other
So as you can see we can set this sound effect to be 30%
volume we can set the song and this portion of the song specifically to be
70% volume then we can select the other portion of the song and as you can see it's different so we can change that
Independently of everything else as well as the volume of our video tracks and we can do that
Independently as well as well as fade in and out of them through the process of making this video
We've added a song cut it in half as well as added a sound effect
And that's a great illustration to show and tell you guys that there is no limit to the amount of audio
Elements that we can use within the audio track in
Splice we can add as many sound effects as we want as many songs as we want as many pieces of songs as we want
And all of these songs sound effects and audio recordings are non
Destructively edited whenever we trim or split within splice which means that even though we split this song into two pieces
We can use the trim function to bring back
That we split off of it and the same goes for the first part we can trim and re-add the end part
Same goes for sound effects in audio recordings as well
another question I've gotten on occasion is whether or not the music provided within this place app itself is
Royalty-free the answer to that directly from the developers of splice itself is yes
These songs are royalty-free
So it is safe to use them for monetization
within your YouTube videos and that's gonna wrap this one up if you enjoyed the video check out the playlists on screen right now for
some more iPhone video editing app videos and if you have any questions or comments
I'll leave them in the comments section below
Where I do my best to answer every single question to the best of my ability
And now that I'm in contact with the splice developers directly, I can answer these questions even better for you guys
So with that being said subscribe if you're new, and we'll catch you in the next one tomorrow. Thank you for watching. Goodbye
