Ahoj, this is Zdenka.
A couple months ago,
I created a complete walk through Wondershare Filmora 11 for beginners.
For those who are not familiar with this software, it's a very easy
video editing software, even for those with zero editing skills.
I have placed a link to this software below the video in a video description
in case you want to try it out as well as link to the mentioned video.
Today's video is another tutorial, this time kind of hands on in depth.
We're going to pick a few things, We're going to talk about speed ramping.
We're going to look at the auto synchronization, all sound controls,
and let's introduce a new theme Audio Visualization.
This video is sponsored by Wondershare Filmora.
And if you are new here, this channel is all about photography and a video,
creative camera challenges hidden giveaways and a vlog.
So if that's something you are interested in, consider subscribing.
When you are editing, for example, a cinematic B-roll, you want to speed up
certain parts and slow them down.
To make it more dramatic, to make it fit with the music, with the melody, with the
rhythm.
Let's open
up Wondershare Filmora.
Import the clip.
Once I see it here at the top,
I will add it to Timeline.
Let's click the speed icon and select speed ramping.
And right now there is no speed ramping affect enabled yet.
You can create your own in customize, or
you can choose a quick pre-designed option.
Montage, Hero Moment, Bullet Time,
Jumper, Flash In and Flash Out.
Let's select customize
so I can explain how this whole thing actually works.
Right now the video is in a real speed.
So there is a line on 1x speed.
If I grab any of the key points and drag it up,
the portion of the video will speed up.
If I drag it down, it will slow down.
Let's say I want this part way faster,
so I drag it up.
Here is another key frame.
The curve between shows where the video starts gradually speeding up.
I can either drag the key points to choose where I want to start.
If I don't want the key frame, I can erase it
by clicking the minus button here on the left.
If I want to add another key frame, just choose
any spot and hit the plus button.
If you don't like the changes you made
and you want to go back to the beginning, just hit reset.
You can also create a freeze frame effect here
by clicking this second icon from the left.
Here you can adjust how long you want the effect to last.
You can go as low as one second.
To delete the freeze effect
hit the minus to erase it.
If you like the effect you've created and you want to use it in a future,
you can save it as a custom preset.
So now let's say I like the speed ramp I created with the freeze effect so I hit
OK.
Now, when you look at the clip on a timeline,
the little area which is grey is your freeze frame affect.
When you click on it, you can still change the duration
of this effect here or you can even delete it.
Let's say I want to add a glitch affect over this
I'm going to go to effects.
Search for a glitch.
Download one I think would work
and drag it over the freeze frame affect.
You can adjust the length by dragging the sides.
And now when you play it, it looks something like this.
Let's talk about auto synchronization.
When is this helpful?
Let's say I'm recording myself as I'm recording myself right now
with a smartphone and I'm recording audio separately on this lavalier microphone
because there is a built in memory card, so I don't have to have anything attached
to the smartphone.
And I prefer audio from the lav microphone.
So how do I get the sound
from the microphone on the smartphone video?
That's when audio synchronization comes in handy.
So let's go back to Wondershare Fillmora.
I'm going to import both files and drag them onto the timeline.
Video will be on one track and audio will be on another track.
Click and drag to highlight both files.
Now, as they are highlighted, you have two choices.
You can right click and select auto synchronization,
or you can simply click on the last icon above.
Once you hit that the software will automatically sync
those two files together.
Now when you will play it, you will hear better audio,
but you will also hear the audio from the smartphone.
So what you can do is right
click on the video clip and mute.
That way you will only hear the audio
file.
Actually I'm recording myself in a smartphone
and I don't want to have the microphone connected to the smartphone,
so I'm using this Lavalier, which is right here, and I have it connected to this
little box because there is a actually internal memory card.
Let's keep going with the sound.
Wondershare Filmora
has simple and creative tools, controls available.
So let's explain when it comes to sound what
everything you can actually do here.
How you can improve it, what creative changes
you can make.
So let's just import a random clip on a timeline.
There are two sections where you can control audio.
One option would it be right clicking on a clip,
go under audio and here you have several choices.
Silence detection, adjust audio,
detach audio and mute.
Another section would be this little icon
on the right, which says Audio Mixer.
Let's go to the first section of audio controls.
I'm going to right click the clip and select
the first one, which is silence detection.
What is this useful for?
If you record yourself in a studio like I'm recording right now
and sometimes you forget what you want to say,
or you're simply taking a little break, you are collecting your thoughts,
you will end up with those silent breaks,
the dead air, and you need to cut them out.
What really takes time is going through the clip
and manually cutting out all of those moments.
With this tool you just click and it will find these dead air moments for you.
You can also adjust parameters such as volume threshold,
minimum duration and softening buffer
until you get the selections you want.
You can also readjust those selections manually.
Once you are
done, hit exports to the timeline and you just save yourself lots of time.
Second option under right clicking
the clip would be to adjust audio.
Once you hit that, the audio control panel shows up at the top.
On the left side, you can make the volume of the clip louder
or quieter by dragging this slider.
Here at the bottom, you have a little icon.
When you click that, it will add a keyframe to your clip.
Let's say at the beginning of the sentence,
the volume is a little bit stronger because of the microphone,
so I want to bring that little part just a little bit tiny bit down.
I'm going to add a keyframe here at the beginning.
Another keyframe where the sound is already good.
I'm going back to the first keyframe with the troublesome, strong sound.
Select it until it turns green
and simply drag the slider down to lower it a bit.
If you want to delete the keyframe, make sure it is selected
so it has to be green and then hit delete on the left.
On the right side you have more creative controls.
You can have the clip fade in volume or fade out.
You can adjust how slow of fade you want to create.
Below is where you can change pitch or use an equalizer.
You can use presets or you can customize the settings
with these sliders.
Denoise will get rid of any unwanted sounds in the background.
There are three options
there.
Weak, mild and strong.
If you have other clips on a timeline which you would like to lower,
ducking is the feature to use.
Slide the
slider to select how much you would like to lower this sound.
If you don't have any keyframes on that clip,
you can try the auto normalization feature.
Let's right click the clip one more time
and see two last controls here.
So one would be detach audio.
This is when you need to basically separate the audio from the video.
So when you right click, you can see that now it's created two files
and you can move the audio file away from the video.
Mute is very straightforward.
The clip will be silent.
Let's go to the other section of audio controls
I mentioned earlier, and that would be the audio mixer.
And just a quick tip, whenever you're editing audio,
listen to audio through a headset.
You don't want to rely on the speakers.
On the left, you have sound panels of your video clip and soundtrack
like music.
To change levels, simply drag the slider up and down.
You can also adjust the channel by moving this knob left and right.
When you do this, you will switch to sound between left and right channels.
When you move the knob,
you will see the change here in the middle.
When I drag the video one to the left,
you can see it here.
Lets play the sound
so you can understand what I mean by this.
So now
you heard the audio coming out from one side of the headset only.
So when you are working on a sound design, you can have some sound effects
coming from the left and then the other sound effects coming from the other side.
You can actually get very creative here.
You can make it quite interesting.
Let's move on.
This section in the middle has two modes
available.
Stereo or surround sound.
We already saw how to control stereo by moving the channels left and right,
so let's switch to surround sound.
If you want to create a video which will be played with a surround
sound system, you can be quite creative here as well.
Now you can move the video, audio and your music all around.
So if you would be sitting in the middle of surround set up,
this is where the sound would be hurt.
Majority of the people will watch your videos most likely in stereo mode,
so let's put it back there.
Last control panel on the left is master.
Here is where you can control the sound
of all your audio files on your timeline.
When you go up, all sound will be louder, when you go down,
all sound will be quieter.
Once you are done with all changes,
hit OK to save all settings.
Let's stay with the word
audio a bit more, but this time it's not going to be about audio controls.
This software has a lot of predesigned
presets templates, which can make your editing seriously
way faster.
You can save a lot of time.
If you need something quick.
New theme has
been added, which is called audio visualization.
You will find it under media and then under preset templates.
Let's see the first one, which is energy music visualization.
Hit download and then just drag it onto the timeline.
You can replace a text and media for your own.
If you want to replace text, just double click and change the text here.
Just like this,
you can move it.
You can adjust a size.
If you want to change a photo, upload the photo
to your media, hold the alt key on your keyboard
and drag the photo to replace the default photo.
The same goes with the music.
You can replace that as well.
Once you change all that, this is what you are going to get.
It is quite useful.
It'll save a lot of time.
There are quite a bit of more themes that choose from like the YouTube
channel, game, military, high tech,
travel and memes.
If you would like to have this audio effect on for example a B-roll or even talking head,
you can go to effects and look for audio visualizer.
Just choose one of the looks you like.
This is super easy to use.
Place your clip on the timeline, place this effect above your preferred clip and you are
all set.
You can adjust the length of the effect by dragging it to the sides.
Now when you play your clip, you can see the sound moving through the graphic.
So that was a closer
look at how you can work with speed ramping, how you can adjust audio,
and how you can save yourself a bit of time with themes.
