1. Course Introduction to Using the InShot App: Hi, my name is Sheila. Welcome to the course
introduction to creating TikTok and YouTube
videos using the shot. Now, in this course,
you're going to learn what the n shot at does. How to download the app, how to import videos and photos, how to import record audio, and how to export that
all into a final video. So if you're interested
in making videos using an app on your phone, then you should definitely
consider the n shot at. Now, using your cell phone, you can quickly
and easily create TikToks and upload
them in minutes, you'll become more efficient
and you'll be able to create TikToks at anytime and
just about any place. I use the app to create videos
on an almost daily basis. And at this point, I've
created over 600 videos using a variety of
video editing programs. And I can tell you
that the app is one of the best video editing tools
that I've used so far. That has a business
attorney and maintains several social media
platforms and websites. Yes. I don't really have a lot of time to create
digital content. In addition, I frequently work with businesses to
create content. So guess what? I know what it feels like to have all these
ideas for content, but not have a lot of time
to move on those ideas. So if you're looking for a beginner's course
on using Insert, then let's get
started right now.
2. What is the Inshot App: In shot is an editing app
for videos and pictures. You can use it with music
so that you can easily make basic videos or
even advanced videos. Let's head over to the chat app where we can
see some of the features. All the things you can do with
video, music and effects, voiceovers, a text
filters and effects, video transitions,
picture in picture, keyframe, all sorts of
tools that you can use. Collages, smooth, slow motion, stop motion, reverse
video and more. You can share your blogs
and social media to get more likes or edit videos with
music and pigs for TikTok. Here are a few of the reviews
that I was able to find so that you have
a little bit more understanding what it does. Excellent app,
hardly any crashes, saves dress and exports timely, even if I move to a
different window. Very helpful at here, perfect for making branded TikToks and such
highly recommended. Only thing I would say is it needs a few more
effects features. But other than that, I had
zero issues from in shot. Thanks developers. I don't think I've ever
felt moved to write such a rave review for
an app before. Okay. Another person says, awesome, love this app so much an IG influence or recommended it and I downloaded
it a year ago, even though this is an
introductory course, the app has a lot of features. You can do a picture
within a picture, animate texts, add transitions, since they add audio recording, crop pictures and videos, freeze the video, flip
and reverse video. Yeah, it's a pretty good
app for you on your phone. So there aren't really
any excuses anymore. If you're looking for
a quick and easy way to edit videos, then this is probably the
app that you're looking for.
3. How to Download the InShot App: The first thing you need to
do is to download the app. You're going to go to the
App Store where you can click on the search bar
at the bottom, type in, in shot once it
pops up and you're looking for in
shot video editor, you can now download it. There's also a pro version
and that's what I use. So while we're here, let's take a look
at a few things. Once you find the shot
app in the App Store, you can go ahead and
download it and you can take a look at some
of the features that they have in
this short video that plays in the App Store, you can see effects, transitions, all of
these things that, well we aren't going to cover
in this course because we are focusing on having
an introductory level. But in the end, you will eventually learn how
to use some of these tools and features so that you
can level up your content. Now if you haven't downloaded, you'll open it up and
we're ready to go.
4. How to Import Video and Photos: Let's start by opening the app. And if you're like me, maybe you have some
projects in draft. That's what you're going
to see at the bottom click the plus sign. And it will take you to the page where you have
all of your content. Now, first there you
will see you have video content that you can add. There's also a photo
content that you can add. And then at the very
end you'll have all of your content together that
you can see in one place. Now, if you click on Materials, there are a lot of materials
here for you to check out. Intros. You can see there
they're intros that you can actually use
in your project. Then you have outros, which you can also
use in your project. And I'm just gonna go through
these so that you can take a look at some of
the variety that's here. You have transitions,
you have sociable, you and you can see
that that's also some green screens there
that you can use to, but this is great for
your social media pages. You have other features here
built in with green screens, so that makes it even
more interesting. You have all sorts
of shots here. You've got pictures
that you can add in. And again, you can
see the green screen, they are built in. You've got the volume picture. These are things that are
already built in that you can use in your projects and then you've
got some features. So if we go back here, one of the first things you
can add is a blank space. You will see that
here at the top. Check on that and
that will open up. You now have a new project and this is what
it looks like when you go in your new project. For a bigger look here, I'm going to open it up so that you can take a look at it. One of the first
things you might want to think about adding, if you're not adding photo or video content
would be texts. So we would just click on texts. And it's usually one
of the things that people use blank spaces for. But suppose we don't
want to add text. Suppose we want
to start off with some video content or some photography content
here we're gonna go back to the page with all of our content on it and find
something that we want to add. So I'm going to take a
look at this and see what kind of video I may want
to add to my project here. And I think I'm
going to go ahead and click on my eggs here. And it's going to take awhile
a minute for it to load up. And then there you can see I
have added this content to my project and it will add the complete video that
you have recorded there. So that is what you will see. And of course that blank
space is still there. It just moved further down because I inserted
the video first. And I also think I will add just another short clip here so we can see again
how that works. And again, it just
pops right in to where ever you want it to go. Now that we have that and let's go ahead and see what it
looks like to add a photo. I'm going to pop
over to photo here. I'm going to find just
some picture that doesn't even really go with
what we're talking about. But I'm going to
select a picture, go ahead and add at the end. And there you go. We now have that picture
That's in our project. Also. What you have left is a
very crude version of a first project in shot where I've just thrown
in a couple of videos, some blank space, a shot. It's not in any
particular order. I haven't used any
features at all. This is just a very basic, it is just importing
the content into the projects so that we have something that we can
start working on it. You'll see all of the pieces
on the very bottom there. And that pretty much
sums up how you bring content into your project.
5. Working with Aspect Ratio Zoom and Backgrd: One of the things that you need to think about when you start a new project is the
size of the content. So let's go ahead click the
Plus Size and let's find some content that we can
bring into the project so that we can discuss aspects, size, zooming, ratios, those
sorts of things so that your content can fit into the type of social media that
you're going to be using. So in this case, you see
I have added a clip. It's a vertical video. And you'll see they're sent
for YouTube that 16.9 ratio. That's not going to
work for TikTok. So the first thing that
I need to do is to make sure that I'm picking
the right ratios. So you want to go to the
bottom and choose TikTok. And as you see that will
automatically change your videos so that it
fits the full screen. So that's one of those things
you want to think about. Now next, in addition to
ratios at the bottom, you can also use the zoom feature to either
zoom in or zoom out. You can also go left, go right. You can have a fit
where it just fits the screen and then
you can have full where it goes across
the whole screen. Now let's go to background because that's the
third one here. You can change the background
and you can see how blurred the image is
behind the video. If you don't have a full screen, then you can come back in and select what you want
it to be behind. It could be a picture which
looks awful in this case, that's never anything that we would choose quite like that. But if you wanted to do
something really created, then yes, you could put
another video behind it. You can also choose colors. You can choose some
of the gradients and designs that they also
have at the bottom. So if you're looking to do
something really creative, there are a lot of features
that are already built in. You don't just have to go with
gradients or solid colors. They also have patterns that you can choose
and you can decide how much space you want to
fill in behind your video. Because remember, you can
zoom it in and zoom it out and get it to the
exact size that you want while you're going
through and trying out all of these different
kinds of backgrounds. Now I'm gonna go back in
and choose another video. And of course we've
got it ready to go so that it fits the screen. There. We have a
few videos in here. But here's the thing
to think about. Once you decide what
you're going to have in terms of Zoom and ratio. So across the bottom is where you'll see
the different sizes. So remember I showed
you YouTube first, and so it automatically
fits the screen. You have the zoom feature where you can definitely
change things. But having that aspect ratio at the bottom is very helpful because you can just
click on what you need. You also have the Zoom
dial here where you can just move it back and forth to get it to the size
that you're looking for. And of course you still have the background feature where I had the blurred
image behind it. But now suppose you wanted to do a horizontal video on TikTok so you can have
it full like that, but you could decide
that you want it horizontal and maybe you don't want that blurred
image behind it. Maybe you decide
that you want to do some sort of something creative. Like maybe one of the
patterns behind it that you see here that I have
also that you're seeing. So you could take that
horizontal video on TikTok, stick it in there, and then have a pattern
or a gradient around it. Or you can just keep it nice and clean and simple and do
something like adding texts. But you've got lots of options.
6. Importing Audio into the InShot App: Now let's talk
about adding audio. Here is a clip of mine, and yes, you can hear the background
sounds in it from outside. But suppose it was quiet and
you find that you either want to add music at different sounds
or maybe you want to add your own recording. Well, how do you
do that? There are three things that we're
going to be talking about, music sounds and recording. Alright, so first
I've got a clip here and we're going to go to the music part and
look at music. Then there's also affects. And then finally, there's
a way for you to actually record and add your own voice over it kind of like
I'm doing here. So let's go back and talk about each one of these
starting with music. One of the things
that you can do is to extract audio from
video you already have. So if you click on that, it'll take you to your
videos and you can pick something that
you want to work with. Also, you can go ahead and add music that you
have on your phone. You can also choose favorites if you have some
favorites that you've saved. And then also you can choose music that you
may have imported. And as you see here, I've
imported a lot music. You can also use music
that comes with the app. You just want to make sure
that you are following their attribution
requirements when you use it, then you have the effects. Now, you can see
here that there are quite a few of those listed. I use these all the
time whenever I'm recording just to sort of
add a little punch to it. If we open one up, you can
see that there are lots of different sounds
for each of those. So there's a lot for
you to choose from among in terms of
if you want to add different sounds to the TikToks and other content
that you're creating. And don't forget, even
with these sound effects, you can also save some of your favorites
so that you aren't having to go through
all of these to figure out What's the
best sound is going to work. Okay, so we've gone
through music and effects. Now let's talk about recording. You can record audio
directly on this app. And this is exactly what
I'm doing right now. So you're going to
hit the microphone. The red square is
going to pop up. And then when you're done, you're just going to hit that. Check if you like it, the x, if you don't, then you'll
be done with that. If you have multiple
tracks of audio, then they will just show up
down here at the bottom, layered on top of each other. So it could be music, it could be sound effects,
and it could be recorded. Now that you know some of the ways to add different
kinds of audio, Let's go in and see
exactly how It's done. What happens when you
get ready to add audio. So the first thing
I wanna do here is maybe go back and pick out some music and you
just click on it and it will pop into the space
wherever your cursor is. That's where it will land now, that doesn't mean it
has to stay there. You can take it and do
lots of things with your audio once you
have imported it. So you can go in and
you can split it up, delete a portion of it. You can move it around. You can do lots of
things with it. Now, let's also try an effect. It's done the very same way. I'm not gonna do
transition here. Let's try a different sound. Again. You just click on it and
it will pop right into that space where your cursor is. And you can see my cursor was at the end of the original
music that I had just added. Now there are lots
of other things you can do with this too. You can control the volume, you can fade in and fade out, and you can pick
different pieces of audio to do that
with. So there you go. Now you know how
to insert audio.
7. How to Export a Project in InShot: Now it is time to export
our final project. So I've pulled together
some video clips here. Just a short trip going to the grocery store so that we'd have something
to work with. So you see all of the
clips there at the bottom. Those are the clips
that we're going to use to make a final project. This is how you pull
everything together and you render that final video
with everything together. So you're going to click that
top button there, hit Save. You can see here the different resolution
sizes that you can save. So you have four
K, you have 1080, which would be high definition, and you have the
720, which would be just your
standard definition. You also have the frame rate that you can change and
then whether or not you want which format you
want to actually save it in. Now one of the things you
want to think about is more features and items
you have in your project, the bigger the file
size is going to be. So you see my estimated
size, there is 150. If I had more
picture in picture, if I had a lot of
different transitions, a lot of texts, if I had multiple audio tracks, then that would cause that
file size to be longer. And it would also result
in this portion here where it is rendering the final video project
to take longer. So the more features
that you have in there, the bigger file size
you're going to have, then also, the longer it's going to take for you
to render this project. So keep that in
mind if you're on a really tight time frame. And that's your final project. At this point, you'll find your project back in
your pictures folder. So let's head back over there. That there's also
the final video down here at the bottom
that has been rendered. And now you have
your final project.
8. 8 CrCreate a Project using the InShot App: Now for your project, you're going to create
a 30-second video. So let's go ahead and
open up the project. You will need to pull in video
or pictures, insert them. Let's also add a title so that you will have
that for your video. Put that at the
beginning of the video so that you have things
in the right order. Import pictures and photos. Not anything
particular, but you can try to tell a story if
you'd like to do that. Add audio by recording yourself. Now, shoot for goal of
thirty-seconds and then render the final video
and share your project.
9. Course Wrap up: The best thing
about being able to have these efficient tools
right on your phone is that you're able to do some of the other things that
you really want to do. You can jump right out into the world and start recording. And you don't
necessarily need all of the fancy tools and fancy equipment that
you think you need. You don't necessarily need to
spend a whole lot of money. You can now learn so many techniques and be able to use them
right on your phone. So those are some of
the things that I hope you've picked up in
this particular course. Some of the things that
will help you as you try out in shot for some of your projects that
you're working on. So thanks for taking the
course and enjoy all of what you've learned
in this course. Thanks.
