Hey what's up you guys and welcome back to Gal, If you guys are new here I do
weekly video editing, photo and audio tutorials to help you guys create better.
Now most of the time I'm at my desktop but I'm using Premiere Pro or another
advanced software tool that requires you to sit at your desk. Now if you're just
looking to create some short social video for your Instagram or Facebook or
Twitter you don't really need to use advanced software for that and I
recently discovered this free new tool on your app and it's called PRISM. Now
this app, I did a whole video about how you can use it to stream high quality
video to YouTube but with the tool I discovered there's a hidden editing tool
inside of it so if you film some video on your phone and you want to quickly
edit it together or if you have some footage from your DSLR camera and you
want to bring it over to your camera roll and save it and edit it you can use
that tool to do that so you can trim the video, you can add transitions, you can
apply a VHS overlay, some stickers, some text. You can do all of this with a free
app on your phone so no need to go sit at your desk edit in Premiere Pro. If
you want to do that you can totally do that I have a tons of tutorials that you
guys can follow on how to edit on your computer but the reason why I bring this
up is a lot of times I'm in the situation myself where I just want to be
able to quickly edit on my phone and not have to go to my computer whip it out
and export it and then save it to my camera roll it's just like a lot of
different steps, right? But with prism you just literally edit it and you can save
it to your camera roll or you could directly post it to social from the app.
So what I've done is I've reached out to the kind folks at PRISM and they've
sponsored this video and I'm going to walk through the entire app to show you
guys from start to finish how to edit little short video I hope you guys find
it useful and yeah let's go ahead and jump on it. So after you download the
PRISM live studio app just click on the app here and it will open up and you can
see the video of me here there's video mode, to the right there's photo, and
also live mode if you want to stream live, but we're going to use the video
mode here and if you do not want to record which you can right now you can
actually access video from your camera roll so I'm going to tap on the camera
icon on the left here and this is where you can choose video from your camera
roll and the order in which you select them will be the order in which they are
laid out in your timeline and then I'm going to click on add up at the top and
then it will actually merge all the clips together into one long video clip
that you can save to your camera roll or you can share directly with somebody but
this is where the secret tool is. If you click up on edit at the top this is
where you can actually edit and add effects and music. So you can see here as
I scrub through all the Edit points are here this little white portion so you
can see it goes to the next clip and the next clip.
Now before I trim them down I wanted to show you that you can use the crop tool
here to actually change the aspect ratio so you can use square, 4:5, 4:3 and
vertical over here on the left and you just pinch to resize them but in this case
I'll just use the 16 by 9 and hit the check mark that's all good.
Now this is where it really shines, Prism has a music library that you can choose
from so you can click on music and then you can browse for music and all this
music doesn't have any copyright issues so if you use this you won't get any
copyright strikes which is really awesome or if you have a particular
track in mind, of course, you can go to music that's on your device but in this
case I'm just going to choose "a breath of fresh air" and it will start to play
and you can choose a different durations so because I'm going to edit a 15-second
video for Instagram I'll just tap 15 seconds
and then I'll hit add and now you can see the audio waveform here and just hit
the check mark and now when we play it back
you'll hear audio, the music, with video.
so what we can do now is scrub through and we can start to trim and split clips
let's play it back and I can hit pause when I want to cut so right here I want
to make a cut now there's a couple ways that you can do this you can select the
clip and you can see the yellow handles and what I can do is just roll this back
to the moment I want to trim it to make it smaller or what I can do is again we
can listen back to where I want to cut
so right here if I wanted to make the cut I can hit the split icon right here
and it will split the clip and then I can delete this portion and it makes a
cut that way. So what I'll do is we'll just quickly go through and trim all the
clips down and then I will show you how to add transitions.
And if you wanted to change the order of a clip you can just tap hold and then move it over and drop
it in between clips which is super cool.
I'm just wrapping up my trimming here and I'm just going to roll this edit
back to be exactly 15 seconds and hit the check mark so let me just go back to
the beginning and hit play you can see how I trimmed the video to end when the
music ends at 15 seconds.
So that's the video here now let's go ahead and add some transitions so this
is where it gets really cool at this edit point here if you just tap on it
just like that you can choose a different transition so we can add a
fade transition so you can see what that looks like by scrubbing through we can
add another fade here, lets add another fade, and then they have movement
transition so we can try up and then we can try down so now let's play back to
see how the transitions look
so looks pretty good if you need to edit these transitions you can tap and hold
on this and you can change the duration so if you want it to be a half of a
second instead of a second you can do that and let's go ahead and tap on this
one and let's tap on that let's also make that half a second all right great
so now that we have transitions now let's look at filters so this is where
you tap on the three little circles here and this is where you can apply
different filters to the individual Clips so you can scrub through here and
you can see a bunch of different looks and the ones that I like are the film
looks here so if you just tap you can see the different film filters you can
apply and these are all built-in you don't have to purchase them I think I'm
going to go with number two here and then we can just tap to apply them to
all of the different Clips alright that's looking good and now for special
effects this is where you can click on this icon here not quite sure what it
looks like it's two circles and one circle has stripes so just tap on that
and this is my favorite effect is you can go to the beginning and the way that
these work is you just tap and hold for as long as you want the effect applied
so this is just a visual look and the first one is a VHS effect so if I just
tap and hold the yellow part is where the effect is applied.
So the entire portion here is now in a VHS effect and all we had to do is just
tap and hold. So hit check and you can see here that I accidentally applied two
of them separately so what you can do is actually tap on that one and hit the
trash and then for this one we can just extend it out so it extends to the
length of the video and hit the checkmark there so now you can see that
we have a filter by that blue marker on top we have transitions and it's looking
pretty good at the end here this is where I like to put a call to action and
this is where you can actually add a cool sticker that's animated so if you
hit on that icon that's like a finger tapping you can choose any one of these
animated overlays here so if we choose subscribe it'll say just tap on the screen.
That looks awesome. So then hit check and that if you want to type out custom text
you can just scroll over all the way to the right and hit the text icon and this
is where I will just hit plus text and I'll just type the YouTube channel
youtube.com/PremiereGal and I will change it to be a little bit smaller and
this really reminds me of Instagram which is why it's so intuitive and then
if you click on the type tool up here at the top you can give it a background and
you can change the color and the size you can scale it up just by pinching and
making it bigger rotating it however you like the little yellow line indicates
that it's straight if you tap on it again you can change the color let's
change it to black let's see how that looks that's looking pretty good and
then here are the handles you can choose the duration of the text so after
subscribe animates out we'll have the text come in and then hit check so now
you can see we have a filter we have some cool VHS effects lots of
transitions we have an animation and text and it just took a couple of
minutes so let's just play it back to see how it looks
so just that simple we made a short social video that we could share about
this little skateboarding experience and the same you can do for your travel
experiences or your vlogging and then once you're done you can just hit save
and you can hit the Save icon to save it to your camera roll and it starts to
encode it and of course its at a 1080p resolution but you can always
change that later on or if you want to you can hit share so you can share it to
instagram, facebook, facebook Messenge, messages, and more so you can add
different apps that you like and lastly just two quick things if you click on
the profile icon in the upper right down below you can see all of your current
video editing projects and you could tap on the ellipsis to rename them or delete
them or if you want to continue editing just tap on it and get started and if
you go up to the top if you click on the gear icon next to your name down here
underneath general this is where you can choose to hide the prism watermark so
when you're done with your video and you don't want the prism watermark on just
make sure that this is yellow if it's off it will have a watermark and it's
completely free to conceal your watermark which is really awesome.
So that's all there is to getting started in prism if you guys have any
questions at all be sure to leave a comment below and give this video a
thumbs up if you want to try it out and I'm sure the prism team will take in any
feedback that you guys have any recommendations for filters that you
guys would like to see in the app just leave a comment below. Anywho, that is all
for this video and I look forward to seeing you guys next week, bye!
