Hi everyone, in this video I will show you an overview and demo edit of Filmora video
editing software available for both Mac and Windows.
The software is available for a free download, but any footage that you export will come
with a dreaded watermark that can only be removed by purchasing the register key.
However, by clicking through my affiliate link below and using my coupon you can avail
of pretty generous discount.
Now to the software, when you open it first you will have a choice of which aspect ratio
you would like - 16:9 or 4:3 In most cases you would use 16:9 which is the widescreen
and used on pretty much every device now.
4:3 was the old TV dimensions, but is really only useful now for creating a photo slideshow.
So, next we have the user interface which consists of some very easy to navigate panels.
Over on the far left we can toggle between the media, music, titles and credits, transitions,
colour filters, overlays, elements and split screen choices.
As you toggle through you' see the submenus beside it that will allow you to filter your
choices
To the right is our viewer, here we can play through our clips, we can also move through
one frame at a time, take snapshots of a certain part of the clip and also watch the video
full screen.
Below that we have our Project timeline, this is where we will piece our clips, our transitions
and colour effects, titles and music together.
But just above the timeline you'll see a number of icons.
the first one is simply to add new media to our media folder.
so lets go ahead and upload our clips that we will use.
The second icon is a screen capture feature, where you can record your computer screen.
Handy for making tutorials like this one.
The third icon is for recording audio so if you have an internal or external mic on your
computer, you can record your own audio and it will save to your folder.
Now when you select a clip to be used in your video into the timeline, you'll see additional
icons appear.
we've got trash which you can delete a clip split - which will split a clip in two along
wherever we have our playhead positioned crop and zoom - this will open up a new window
and allow us to zoom in on our entire clip.
Or we can select Pan & Zoon at the top and choose start and end points.
We can hit play to preview how it will look.
This kind of feature is only really useful for photo slideshows.
- Then we have the video inspector.
This will allow us to apply colour corrections to our video and audio.
If we hit "Advanced", we have even more options to colour grade.
I'll get to them in a minute though Next we have the Power tool, which applies
a few cool features - tilt Shift makes blurry borders, Mosaic can blur out a part of your
image such as a face or brand, and Face off, well We'll not get in to that one!
Next icon is the Advanced colour tuning, which we've already seen and the Video Inspector
again
In the middle we see this audio mixer icon which allows us to make adjustments to each
individual layer on the timeline or the entire timeline as a master mixer.
So now to start our film edit.
We begin by importing our clips and audio, there are three ways to do it
We can go to File - Import Media.
We can click the little plus icon a the top right here.
Or the other media icon in the middle of our screen.
There is the ability to rename our clips, but that might only be important for larger
projects with lots of clips that need assorting.
So lets start editing!!!
Okay so we have all our clips here that we are going to use.
Now we're gonna bring them in one by one to our timeline and cut them down a little
to the length we need.
I only want each clip to last a couple of seconds each.
For this short video what I want is to have the audio of this priest playing over the
other clips in the video, and then it cuts back to the priest.
So what you need to do is shorten the clip first, then detach the audio by right-clicking
and selecting "detach audio", this will bring the audio layer down to the audio timeline
below and it now becomes a separate clip.
Then simple click an drag the length of it as needed.
Be careful not to actually move the clip as it will move it out of sync with the video.
When we have that done I always like to add the music next so we can arrange the clips
around a little better.
You'd be surprised how many good tunes there are on here.
I like this song, so I'm going to add it in below the video clips.
Okay so now we have a fairly nice alignment of our clips and nice audio.
What we need next is to make adjustments and add effects to give it a more cinematic look.
Lets start with the first clip, select it and open up our video inspector to make a
few adjustments to the picture quality.
From the basic video inspector we can make a couple of slight adjustments.
It's best to use your eye with this - don't make it too dark or over-exposed.
I just need to add a little saturation and put a little tint in the colour.
Then I'm going to open the advanced color tuning tab.
We can adjust the colour temperature to make it look warmer or colder, and again add or
reduce the tint.
We also have a 3D LUT section - where it will add a preset color grade to the entire clip.
the LUTs included are some popular movie and TV show styles.
The other options include more in-depth adjustments of the brightness/contrast - again keep an
eye on the bright and dark areas of your picture so they are not being over or under exposed.
Just below that is the HSL tab - this is a great one because we can select a certain
colour from our clip and make adjustments to it for example in this clip if we select
the cyan blue and adjust the HUE to either a much darker blue/ almost purple or back
down to green/yellow.
We can then add saturation and luminance to give it a bit more punch.
Lastly theres a Vignette tool with different modifications.
So if we go on through the next clips and make similar adjustments for this clip I want
to add a 3D LUT.
Before applying any colour grading you should really have an idea of the type of look your
want for your image.
for this clip I want to show the coolness of the ocean on the right while maintaining
the glowing sunlight from the right.
out of all the 3D LUT's, I like this one the best for this image.
This next scene is quite dark so all we really need to do is brighten it up a little, without
over exposing it too much.
I want to drop the contrast slightly to bring out the shadowed areas too.
It also appears there a bit of pink/purply tint from the stage lights hitting them so
I'm going to use our HSL tool again to tone it down a little.
In our last clip I want it to play in slow motion.
At the bottom of the video inspector is a speed dial to make the clip faster or slow
it down.
I wouldn't recommend going much slower than 50% and bear in mind too that if your clip
has audio then that will be affected too.
I'm going to use the same Mission Impossible LUT but it looks a little too cold up there
so I'm going to warm up the temperature and add a little tint to the sky.
Then using our HSL again I want to bring out the green in the grass as much as possible
as it looks a little burnt and dull.
Okay so we have our video clips colour graded, I'm going to go through some transitions.
in reality you shouldn't really use many of these transitions, as they are quite amateurish
- if its just a funny home movie you're making then they're fine.
I'm just going to add this one in to show you what it look like on the timeline.
By the way if you double click on any transition or effect it will preview a sample in the
viewer window.
now I need to add a title.
Let's have a look at the title section.
So depending on what sort of video you are making you should choose the right title effects
to go with it.
This one was made for wedding videos so I'm going to chose it for the opening.
If you right click the clip and "show inspector" It will open up the tab to make adjustments.
You can click on each word and adjust the text, side and even add an effect such as
"fade in" or "fade out"
So with all our video clips adjusted I just need to edit the audio so the dialogue can
be heard properly.
I don't want to cut the music out completely but just scale it back a little when the priest
starts speaking.
If we select our music clip and it can be turned down a little using the audio inspector.
Next we need to split the clip just as the other audio is starting.
Select the first part and simple add a fade out of a couple of seconds and add a fade-in
in the next part with the volume decreased even more.
This will ensure that when the dialogue starts that the music doesn't suddenly drop - it
sounds like it is slowly fading over a couple of seconds.
Then at the end of the dialogue, add a fade out to the music and a fade in to the last
clip again.
There are some other features such as the overlays and filter section - kinda like an
instagram filter.
I never really use them but you might find one or two useful.
Again scroll through them and click to add it to your clip on the timeline.
Finally - its time to export the video.
There are a few options including exporting directly to Youtube, Facebook and Vimeo and
even burning to DVD.
But here we're just going to create a new video.
You can select the format, either MOV or MP4 - I'd usually go with MOV as it can be easily
converted later if you need it as an MP4. choose your resolution and the frame rate
should be the same as what you recorded in, otherwise the video may appear a little jumpy
between certain frames.
If you're unsure of the frame rate you recorded in - its usually 25 frames per second for
Europe and Australia and 30 frames per second for America.
So thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed the tutorial and don't forget to use our special
