hey blake reader here today i'm going to talk about video editing now video content creation
is becoming a trend because it retains the human attention much longer than words and images
and for a beginner filmmaker it's often really difficult to find the software that's free to use
now i'm going to show you today a edited software called filmora from wondershare i'm going to go
over its features and effects and just to show you that how easy actually is to use and by the way if
you want to try this software while watching the video there's a link in the description
where you can download okay let's jump right in so if you are a very new uh editor this might be
a lot to kind of take in and if you have used the program before this is quite similar uh there's
a window here to preview what video you have and this is the timeline which i'll show you in a bit
but for new people it's pretty simple you just go to your media or import
and they'll come in this list here you can simply drag or you can preview here first
before you drag it so you can drag different sections which is pretty uh pretty simple just
click where you want to start and where you want to finish and then you just drag here
and the other thing i really like which makes this different to most of the editors that i've
used is that sometimes you want to edit a small section you have to zoom into it and if you can
see on the right here you have to normally do that to make it bigger or smaller but what's cool about
this is all you have to do is just do that and go like that it's it's so much easier than going all
the way over there i really like this feature um cutting different clips into different small parts
again from the editor you have to have a short key you have to know what that is but this again
it's right in front of you you just click that well place it where you want it to uh to be
the marker so if you want to hear you just clip it and now you have two so
that's that's kind of a basic editing features let's uh let's go into some of the more exciting
features we have first feature i want to talk about is the speed ramping which is so cool um
very unique feature that i haven't seen anywhere else um so i have this clip which is from an intro
from one of my short film called the c600 let me just play for you it's very short for now so here
as you can see um it's a very slow movement from um from here uh to kind of here now let's
say i want the speed to increase here quickly and then slow down back to how it was before
um for features of other editors you have to uh something like uh cut one here and then cut one
here and then you change the speed to this one and then eventually it's just a lot of work um but for
filmora they have a speed ramping feature like i said so you right click on here and then you
go to speed and duration and it will come up this screen then you go to speed ramping and you have
different options here you have ones that's built in for you called montage hero moment bullet time
jumper blah blah blah so what that does for example hero moment i think what that does is
it speeds up slows down and speeds up and back to normal again so whatever goes up
is speed up whoever goes down and the speed down
we can try that see how that looks just to give you a kind of demonstration but that's
not exactly the effect i want but if you were to choose hero moment this is what it looks like
it's not bad but obviously this is slowing down as well which is not the footage uh is able to slow
down so um you can go to customize this is where the exciting things happen with the speed ramping
you can choose exactly what point you want it to speed up so if you want to speed
up around about here you just move that here um you just go speed five times ten times so
if i want to speed up really fast go back to normal uh i don't want it to go back to normal
until the end towards the end so maybe about towards the middle and this this should do
and then press uh and if you press play from the beginning
as you can see it it's it speeds up at the beginning
and then slows down the end which is really cool feature of course you can go
slower down if you go lower it slows down let's just say i want it to slow down
about here and that's it so we go from the beginning
it slows down and you can't really see much of a difference because it's already a slow clip
so if i were to go slow slow down and speed up slow down and it's going to increase
and back to see how smooth that is because what it does instead of jumping to a very fast speed
to a normal speed it gradually increases and gradually decreases that's why it's so smooth
when it goes up and down okay next feature is motion tracking now maybe you've seen this before
in videos where you see an object being tracked with some kind of text or some layer on top
as it goes through the footage so i have a short clip here from my short film the mana let's just
quickly play this clip here you see the car just drive from left to right now i want to
put text above the car um so what to do first i want to track the motion of the car you want
to move the marker all the way to the beginning or wherever from the point you want to track to start
anything before will be tracked so i want to try from the very beginning i'll go from there
and then double click on the uh track and you can see all the different options here
so i go to motion tracking switch on you get a little box that comes up you double click on that
and then you can size it to roughly the same size of the object that you need tracking so this in
this case it's a car place on the car and start tracking and it will do its magic there you go
and then now to put the text so i come out of here i go to titles and you i just want to plan
text for this tracking i drag down the plain text to the timeline have the same length of the track
and then double click on here so i can change the text to i want to say i wanted to say car um don't
worry where the positioning of the letters are for now uh you exit that and then double click
here going back to the tracking area now you see there's a drop down and basic six is the
basic six as you can see here where the title is so you select that's where you want the track to
be on and it goes right on top of the um the car but that's not the right position
so what i want to do i want to double click that i want to move it to the top and maybe a little
bit smaller you can do all those adjustments once you're happy and then just press play
how cool is that and there you go hope you've enjoyed a quick overview of filmora like i said
before there's a link in the description below if you want to try out the software yourself
