Editing My Video.

E-mail Print

Piecing it all together.

 

Now the Fun Part ......

 

In my example I started off the video with: 2 stills, then 2 video clips, 2 stills and finished with a video clip.

You can use any order that you want to use, the basics are the same no matter what you do!

(remember you can "play your video at any time using the video controls).

Select the "Collections" and select you first image

image22

Select the still image or video clip by left mouse button click.

Holding down the "left hand mouse" key drag the image over the VIDEO and release the mouse.

You'll see the picture appeared in the timeline. (Add a couple more using the same technique).

image23

You can use the magnifying glasses to zoom in and out of the time line.

image24

Here you can see that I have clicked the "+" a couple of times.

The Dark Blue line shows you where you are in the editing window. If you hover the cursor over the blue box on the times section
it will automatically attach to the cursor and you can move it to where you want to edit next.

image26

In my example I now click the "Clip_01" folder

image27

To just after my Image1.

image28

Now would probably be a good time to use the "- magnifying glass" icon.

The next picture shows I have added another clip and my final still photographs.

image29

and here is my final time line with the stills and video all in place. I've used the magnifying icons to fill the time line.

Depending on how you are doing your soundtrack, recorded voice as a talking head video or recorded a voice over separately on your computer
you'll probably want to play around with the Audio levels when the video is finished. You change the bias from video or sound track using the
little volume control icon. Below is an example where the voice is with the video clip and you want to add some music to the video.

image31

Adding a music track (or separate voice over recoding) is simple. Using the "Import into Collections"
browse to the file you want to use and import it.

 

image34

Here you can see I've added a music track called Colours (by Donovan.)

Select it (left click) then drag it (hold down left mouse key) and drag it onto the Audio / Music timeline.

image35

As you can see, my music clip was a lot longer than the video, so zooming out I can now put my cursor over the end of the music clip and drag the
end of the music clip back to the end of the video.

image36

image37

A very good time to save our project.

image38

 

If you want to you can now add some transitions between the stills and the video.

Select the Video Transition and you can now browse the various transitions supplied.

To add, you select and drag to the point between the stills / video clips you want that transition.

image40

Here is my final video with a handful of transitions added.

image41

BUT WHO ARE YOU ?????

We should not forget to add a simple title to the beginning of your video letting everyone know who you are!

If you select Tools >> Credits

image42

This will pop up.

image43

If you want the text on a black background then use the "title at beginning" option. This will be inserted correctly by moving everything in the timeline.

If you want the text to "overlay" the opening video use the "title on the selected clip" >> make sure your blue timeline marker is at beginning on timeline.

Add the text you want.

image46

Click the Done "link".

image45

And your title is now added correctly.

image47

Now would be a really good time to play the entire move to make sure your happy with it.

Correct any volume issues between video sound and Music track using the slider.

Save the Project and lets get this work of art ready for uploading to ModelBuzz or and site that accepts Windows Streaming Video ...
