1. Welcome and Introduction Adobe Premiere on your Phone: Adobe Premiere on a phone, create viral Reels
and UGC videos fast. Hi, I'm Courtney Goldman. And in this course, I'm
going to teach you how to edit scroll stopping
vertical videos. I'm going to show you how
you can do it easily, quickly, and without
expensive software. We're going to be doing
this all from your phone, using the free version of Adobe
Premiere AI video Editor. I know editing can sometimes
be a little scary, but I'm going to
show you how you can approach it in a very simple, easy way. It's going to be fun. This course is for
content creators who are making TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Pinterest videos, UGC creators, small business owners, bloggers, influencers, and
aspiring influencers, non profits, coaches,
and educators, as well as anyone who wants to make content or tell stories. I'm going to take the
mystery out of editing and show you simple
step by step methods. You'll be able to create those videos on
the car ride home. I'm an award winning four times Emmy nominated TV
and film editor, and I've edited over 100
episodes of television. I also teach intro to
post-production at a college. I'm going to take
all my experience teaching as well as editing, and I'm going to
simplify it so that you can use these techniques
on your phone. In this course,
right off the bat, you're going to learn how
to edit a video using a template to editing
a video from scratch, as well as adding audio,
voiceover captions, titles, effects, transitions,
color correction, music, and so much more. The app that we're using, Adobe
Premiere AI video editor, has some AI functions. We're not going to touch
those in this course. They cost money, and
we're going to focus on the powerful free functions that are included in
the free version. By the end of this course,
you're going to feel confident that you can
create engaging videos, and you'll be able to post
them right from your phone. So grab your footage, open the app, and let's get started.
2. Create a Vertical Video from a Template: Come edit a vertical video with me from choosing a template, adding effects, all the way to exploiting
the final video. First, download the Adobe
Premiere app on your phone. Make sure all your photos are in one folder on your phone.
That will really help. In the app, you'll
see that there's so many great pre built
templates under lifestyle, beauty, travel, cuisine, health. Scroll through and have a
look at the different ones. You can press Play, and it will show you
what they're like. Once you've chosen one, click Use this template,
and it will download. Then click each piece of footage in the order you'd
like them to appear, and they will pre fill
the template down below. Once you've done that, hit next, and it'll open up
this new window. Here, I like to press play
and watch the video through. And then each individual clip, I like to press on the clip
and then hit the trim button. This is how the trim
function works. Everything that's in
that white rectangle is the footage that's
going to be on camera. The first part of the rectangle is your first frame of video. And the last part of the
rectangle is the last frame, and everything extended on either side is the footage
that's available to you. So you see at the
beginning, this is the start of that clip, and I can change
the whole clip by simply moving it to the
right or to the left. And when I move it, I change the first and last frame
and everything in between. When I'm moving this rectangle, what I'm looking for is I'm
looking for a movement, an action, a smile, something that really gives
meaning to that clip. So there's a purpose
for that clip. Let's do one together. I'm trying to navigate
so that it's just showing the toast going
into the toaster. And I'll do that with each clip, and I'll make sure that just the part I like is in the video. I like to have an
action happen and end. So it has to have a beginning, a middle, and an
end for each clip. I want you to take a
minute and actually experiment with this
using the trim function, moving it to the right, to
the left on your own footage. Only then will you
really get an idea of just how great and
powerful this tool is. As I'm going through, I may find that there's a clip
I'd like to change out. Click on that clip, hit replace. And it will bring you
back to that folder, and you can switch it
with a different clip. Once you're happy
with the clips and in the right order,
hit full Editor. Then open and full
Editor, hit Continue. Now you have this new window, which really gives you
a lot more control. So the first thing
we're going to do is let's change the title. Click on the title,
hit Edit Text. And that window will open up, and you can change the
text to whatever you like. Next, I'm going to
shorten it by just dragging the edge to
where I'd like it to be. Click on the title,
hit Edit Text. And here you can go to style. Under template, you can see a
lot of different templates. Next, simply move the text on the screen to wherever
you'd like it to go. Now let's press play
and see what happens. I'm not a big fan of that
swirling transition. So let's click on the part right there where
the transition is. Then hit transition, and this
is the intro transition. Right now, it's a swirl.
Let's change it to dissolve. Let's give us a bit more
space to work with. You can drag this
button up or down, and it will give you more or
less space for the timeline. Let's click on the
next transition. Hit transitions.
Let's try Light leak. And you can change
the duration here. Notice how this clip doesn't
fill the whole screen. Click on the clip, and
let's scroll to fit. Now you see it fills
the entire screen. You can move it around so
that we can center it. So go through and do
that with all the clips. This one, again, is too small. I'm going to hit the
clip and then press fit, and it pulls it up
to the right size, and then I might
have to shift it around to get to the
right spot on the screen. And you see you just
go clip by clip adjusting and making changes as you go from the
beginning to the end. And finally, at our last clip, notice how it's pushing in. It's a bit too much. I'd
like to change that. So that's an effect. Let's click on the clip. Click effet. That's the grow effect. We can just change
the intensity. Let's bring it down.
Okay, much better. And now you can
see that the music doesn't go all the
way to the end. And let's pull the
end of the music so that it ends at
the end of our video. Next, let's add a nice
audio fade at the end. Let's hit audio fade. You'll
have two options here. Fade in, fade out. This is the end of
the video, so it's fade out. Let's change that. So it's a nice little
dissolve at the end. You can see that here.
That little slope indicates that it's a dissolve. And finally, let's have an
end title, a call to action. Hit Titles and captions. Edit title, and now you can
type in whatever you like. It put the title right where
the white line playhead was. So let's move it to the
beginning of that clip. Click on the clip, hit style, and let's change the style. There's lots of
different options. Let's make it something legible and move it to where
we'd like it to be. You see it's too
long at the end, we'll hit the clip, hit split, and then
delete the end. We've gone through
all the clips. We've changed transitions,
we've changed effects. We've adjusted the music. We've added titles, call
to action at the end. Before we export, let's watch
the whole thing through. Let's give ourselves more space. We can actually see more of the video and less
of the timeline. Let's press play.
This works well. Now we're ready to export. At the very top right hand
corner is the Export button. The export window will open up. These default settings will
work really well for us. So let's keep it at this. Then click Export Video, and your video will
start to export. And when it's done, you can
view it in your photos, and then post it to
wherever you like. I've created a checklist, and you can find it in the
resources for this lesson. Use this to keep
organized as you're going through and making
a video from a template. Now you know how
to make a vertical video from a template. In the next videos you're gonna learn how to put clips together, add titles, add music, add captions, and so much more.
3. Create a social media video from scratch: Let's learn how to
edit clips together, add effects, and
add transitions. First, open up new
from Photo Library. Make sure all your photos are in one folder on your phone. Next, click the ones you'd like. And in the order, you'd like them to appear in your timeline. And here they are. You can
press play, press pause. You can scroll through. You can also change
the layout by making the timeline bigger and the
video smaller or vice versa. Click this button here and
you can pull it up or down. You can click the arrow left, goes back one frame. All right, and it goes
forward one frame. I encourage you to navigate
and play around with it, so you really understand how
this whole system works. Go to the front
of your timeline, press play, scroll through. Have fun. Now let's get into
actually shaping your story. If you want to shorten a
clip, click on the clip. You can drag the edge you'd like to shorten it or lengthen. Another way to do it
is click the clip. Then you can press split and where your white line playhead
is, there'll be a cut. Then click on the part you
don't want and hit Delete. When you're thinking
about cutting, it's good to think about the
part that is the action. What is the actual thing that the audience
would like to see? So what is that
movement, that smile that helps tell the next
part of your story? Let's practice getting a couple more clips to the right length. So find the clip. Find
that little moment. I like the little Pat here. Put your playhead,
the white line where you want it to cut, press split, click the clip, and delete the part
you don't want. Keep going and choose the part of each clip that
you really like that really helps keep the story going and keep the
audience engaged. Now, if at this point
you thought, mm, I'd like to add another
piece of footage, easy. Click videos and images. Click Photo Library. Go back to that folder
and bring in a new shot. Just remember where your
white line playhead is is where it's going to
put it in the timeline. But you can always lift it
and move it around simply drag and drop. Let's
find the part we like. And let's make it
nice and short. That's where the
playhead is, and we're going to press split, delete, and now we have a
nice short little clip. We're going to make it a
little shorter, split, delete. And as you're going
through, if you would like to change
the order, again, just grab that clip, drag it and drop it
wherever you'd like. And it just snaps
into the timeline. Now that we have the
clips in the order we like and the
length that we like, let's add some effects
to the individual clips. Click on the clip you
like. Press effects. There's so many
different effects. Let's try grow, and then we'll slightly push in on that image. And you can change the intensity with the slider at the bottom. You can see how it slowly grows. And let's change the next clip. Click on the clip, press effet. Look at all the different
options you have. Let's do a slight grow as well. Change the intensity. If you click this
button at the top here, you can apply that
effect to all the clips. So say you do that,
but actually, you really don't want the
effects on every single one, and you'd like to delete
them off a couple of them. I'll show you how to
do that. Click on the clip. Press EffX. Then click None. Let's remove the effect from another
one. Let's click this one. Press Effxs. Let's say none. So not only can you do
effects on the clips, you can do effects in between the clips called transitions. So let's change this transition, this first one, the
intro transition. There are a lot of
great options here. Let's do a light leak, and here you can change
the duration. Let's check it out. It's a
nice little flash there. Let's edit another transition. Click in between the cut, and the transition window will open. And let's pick push right. Here you can change
the duration, too. Let's see what it
looks like. Fun. Let's add a really
wild transition here. Let's try twist right. Oh, I don't like that one.
Here's how to delete it. You can press this undo button at the top here, and
it gets rid of it. Or you can press redoo and it brings back the
last thing you did. The undo redo you can apply
to almost everything. Another way to get rid of a transition is to click
on the transition, then click on none, and
that will remove it. Now you know how to edit clips, make them longer,
make them shorter, change the order,
add new footage, add effects, add transitions. The next videos will teach
you how to add audio, add titles, add music, captions, and so much more.
4. Adding and Editing Titles: Now let's learn how to
add titles and edit them. First, open titles and captions. Let's click Title. I'm going to write the farm, press the little checkmark. You can move it around on the
screen wherever you like. You'll feel it. Click
when it's centered. Because I had the playhead
in the middle of the clip, it placed the title right there, which is not exactly
where I'd like it, so I can just grab it with
my fingers and move it to the front of the clip and drag the end of the
clip wherever I like. It's very easy to edit the text. I'm going to show you.
I'm going to take off the exclamation point.
Click on the title. Click Edit Text.
Make your changes. Then click the checkmark. Let's change the style.
There's a bunch of cool templates that
are already pre made. Click on the title. Then click style. Let's
look at the templates. Try different ones and
see what you like. You can also change the font. Lots of different
fonts to choose from. You can change the
color in the text. There are a lot of different
ones that they recommend. By clicking custom, you'll
open up a lot more choices. You can go to the grid or
the spectrum or the sliders. You can also use the
color pick tool, drag it over the image, and
it will pick that color. You can change the
opacity of the text. You can change the color
of the background. You can also change the
opacity of the background. Easy to change the
background colors. There's a grid, a spectrum, and sliders, as well. You can use the color pick tool to choose a color
from the image. Let's change the text color back to black so
it's easy to read. Let's change the
background opacity, so it's a little
more see through. You can also change the layout, the text alignment,
right, center, left. There's also a
text width slider. You've changed the text, you've changed the
template of the text, the font, the style. Now let's try some transitions. There's the intro transition. That's when the title
first comes up. Let's try Dissolve. You can change the duration of the
transition right here. You can also change the Outro. That's at the end of the title. I'm going to pick push right. You can change the
duration, as well. Let's see what it looks. Hmm, I don't really like the end part. Let's go in and let's change it. Again, click transitions. Click Outro or whichever
one you'd like to change. Let's click none. Another
fun thing you can do is you can use keyframes to actually move the
text on screen. Let's move it off screen. Click the button and
it'll put in a keyframes. And that's where the
beginning of the move is. Next, place the title where
you'd like the move to end. And when I finish moving it, it puts another
keyframe on the title. Let's press play and
see what it looks like. Another fun thing you
can do is actually go in and make the title a different size by using two fingers to pinch
in and pinch out. Any changes you want to make, it's very easy to undo and
redo with these two buttons. Now that we've learned
how to add titles and edit them in
the next videos, we're going to learn how
to add audio, voiceover, music, captions, and
so many more things.
5. Adding Audio, Voiceover, Music & Sound Effects: Let's learn how
to add voiceover, music and sound effects. First, let's record a voiceover. Go to music and audio, and let's scroll across and see all the different options. Let's start with voiceover. The voiceover window opens up. Press the red record button. I'll give you a three
second countdown. Record. Out here, training is
more than commands. It's trust, patience
and partnership. One lesson at a time. When you're done,
press the stop button. It will automatically put
it inside your timeline, wherever your playhead
that white line was. Press play, and
let's check it out. Out here, training is
more than commands. It's trust, patience
and partnership. One lesson at a time. Let's give ourselves
more space by pressing this button on
the side and sliding up. There's a great function
called enhanced speech. Click on the voiceover. Click
Enhanced speech, toggle on. Change these settings. Speech enhancement,
background noise. Play around with it. You'll
see it's processing. Press play to preview. Out here, training is
more than commands. Let's change the volume
of the voiceover. Click the voiceover, then slide along the bottom
until you find volume. Volume is a percentage on here. Let's change it down to 59%. Out here. Great. Next, let's
trim and move it. Let's trim off that
excess at the front, and let's move it till
the voiceover starts in the middle and ends at
the end of our video. So it's not so jarring.
Let's add an audio fade. Music and audio. And let's
add some audio fades. You can fade in or fade out. And it's by point seconds. You see the little
dsolve at the end, and you see the
dissolve at the front. Next, let's add music. Click on Music and Audio. Let's scroll to soundtracks. You can search
soundtracks by mood, there's lots to choose from. I'm gonna pick Happy Genre. I'm gonna pick Electronic
and background. And also duration. Duration goes by seconds. You can preview the songs
right here by pressing play. When you find one you
like, press the plus sign. It will download and
add it to the timeline. It added it to where I had
the playhead, the white line. So let's move it to the
front of the video. The music seems a little loud. Let's change the volume.
Click on the music. Click volume. It's
by percentage. So use the slider to get to
the percentage you like. I'm just going to bring it down. Let's trim the end of
it. It's a bit too long. Click on the music. Click split where you'd like it to split,
and then click Delete. The ending is probably
a bit abrupt, so let's add an audio fade. Click the music,
click Audio fade, and let's change the fade out. Remember those video
transitions we added. Something that really
elevates a cut is adding a subtle sound
effect to each transition. Let's do that now.
Click Music and audio. Sound effects. You can choose sound effects by
categories or duration. Let's look at the
search function. I'm going to type whoosh. Here you can preview lots
of different sound effects. When you find the
sound effect you like, press plus, and it will
add it to the timeline. Remember, it adds where
your playhead was. So it's not exactly
where I'd like it. Before we move it, let's give ourselves more
space to work with. I want to raise the timeline
so we can see more. Now, let's move
the sound effect, so it lines up with
the transition. I want the highest
point of the waveform. That's that squiggly line
in the timeline to line up with that transition cut
point right in the middle. It's a little bit loud, so
let's change the volume. By clicking the clip,
clicking volume. Let's bring down the percentage. That's great. Let's add a sound effect to the
other transitions. Click Music and
audio sound effects. Search. I'm going to
write Whoosh again. And I'm going to preview
some different ones. When I find the one I
like, I'll press Plus, and it will download it and
add it to the timeline. I'm going to zoom in and line
it up with a transition. I'm also going to
change the volume. Click the sound effect, click volume, and bring it down. It's trust. You'll notice that the voiceover is interfering with
the sound effect. I'm going to move it, so
the speaking voiceover doesn't happen at the same
time as the sound effect. Training is more than commands. It's trust, patience. Great. The last transition
also has the same issue. The voiceover would interfere
if we put a sound effect. So let's click on the voiceover. Hit split and shift it so we have some space
to add that sound effect. I'm just going to trim the end. Now that we have space,
let's add the sound effect. I'm going to click
Music and Audio. Sound effects.
Search. This time, I'm going to look up Flash. I'm going to preview a
bunch of different ones. And when I find the one I
like, I'm going to press Plus. It will download and
add it to the timeline. I'm gonna line it up
with the transition. Adding a sound effect to these
transitions really helps. Makes the whole video more
dynamic and professional. Now that we've learned
how to add voiceover, music and sound effects, in the next videos, you're
gonna learn how to add captions and more of a
deep dive into music. Plus, so much more.
6. Adding and Editing Music: Important part of any
video is the music. I'm going to show
you how to add that. Make sure the white line, the playhead is at the
beginning of your video. Click Music and audio,
then soundtracks. You can search soundtracks
by typing in a word. Let's type fun, for example, and it will bring up a bunch of different soundtracks that
have that word tagged. Another way to
search is by mood. You can click all
different kinds of moods from angry to
playful, et cetera. You can search by genre, like acoustic, jazz, pop. You can also search by duration, and that goes by seconds. Now let's preview
some different ones. When you find the one you like, press the plus, and it will download it and put it
right into your timeline. The great thing is,
it brings it into your timeline at a lower
volume, so it's not super loud. Out here. Training But if you want to adjust the volume,
it's very simple. Click the soundtrack,
then click Volume, and the adjustment
slider is by percentage. The song is very long, so let's trim off the end. Put the white line where
you'd like the song to end. Let's click the song,
then click split. Click that end bit
and click Delete. So the song isn't so jarring
at the beginning and end. Let's add some audio fades. Click the song, then
click Audio fade. Here you can change
the audio fade in and the audio fade out. This is measured in
seconds. Let's take a look. And when I zoom in, you can see the little fade at the end. And the little fade at
the beginning. Great. Now that you learned
how to add music, trim music, add audio fades. In the next lessons, you're
going to learn captions, some advanced video functions, as well as adding
color looks and color grading and so
many more things.
7. Adding and Editing Captions: Captions are so important
to social media because often the videos
are watched without audio. Also, it's great
for accessibility and letting you reach
a wider audience. Let's learn how to
put captions in. After you've recorded
your voiceover, you can begin adding
the captions. Click titles and
captions. Then captions. You can have these created from only voiceover or all speech. Let's choose voiceover.
Create captions. And you see it adds them
to the top layer of video. I don't like how it generated the word It's at the end
of the first caption. I'd like it at the beginning
of the second one. So let's edit that.
Click the caption, then click Edit caption. And it opens this keyboard, which you can add
or edit any words. Go through and read and double check every
one of your captions. Some might need to be adjusted. Next, let's change the style. Click the caption,
click style Templates. Look at all the different varieties of captions they have. Whenever there's a
word highlighted, then you know it's
the type of caption that highlights the word
as it's being spoken. Those are very effective
for social media. Next, let's change the font. Slide over to font. There's so many different
fonts to choose from. You can try them out and
see which one you like. Next, let's try color. Here you can change the text or the background.
Let's do text first. If you click Custom, it opens up this window where you can
choose a color from the grid, the spectrum, or the sliders. Also change the opacity. You can choose the
color pick tool and pick a color
from your video. Then there's also layout. Here you can change
the text alignment. You can choose left, center
or right justification. You can also adjust
the text width. You can also change the
background color or the opacity. There's a lot here
you can customize. Next, click the title, and let's try some
different transitions. You can do transitions
to the intro of the caption or to the
outtro of the caption. Let's change the intro. There's
many different options, so play around and see
what works for your video. I'm going to add a dissolve. Now let's see what we can
do with the last caption. Let's click Transform. There's so many things
you can do here. You can scale by changing the actual
size with the slider. You can rotate again
with the slider. You can transform
it on the X axis, left and right, or on
the y axis up and down. To elevate this last caption,
let's add a transition. Again, there's intro and Outro. Let's click Outro. Let's try a flash and see
what it looks like. Now you know how
to add captions, edit captions, and add
transitions to titles. In the next videos, you're
gonna continue to learn the tools to create
scroll stopping videos.
8. Learn to Flip Video, Speed Changes, Keyframes & Aspect Ratio: I'm going to show
you lots of tricks. How to flip video,
add keyframes, add speed effects, and change aspect ratios.
Let's get started. Sometimes when you record
with a front facing camera, the footage gets
recorded reversed. So you can notice
with the words, they're backwards, the
clock is backwards. It's easy to flip it here. So click on the
video, then scroll two flip H. That's
horizontal flip, and it flips it for you. You can also flip an image vertically. Click
on the footage. Scroll two flip V. There are some fun speed
effects you can do. Click on the clip and you can change the speed
by clicking speed. You can go one time, two times, five times and 100
times the speed. You can also reverse the speed, so click on the clip
and click Reverse. Another thing you can do is you can find a cool
spot in your video, like I like where
she puts her thumb up and you can press freeze, and it will freeze frame and give you a few seconds
of that moment. You can change the length of the freeze frame by
pulling on the ends. You can also delete
the end of it. There's a lot you
can do. You can add keyframes to
clips to zoom in, to zoom out to make the
video more interesting. So if you click on
the clip, click this button here and
it adds a keyframe. You can move a
little bit forward ahead and add another
keyframe right here. You can make the image bigger, resize it, reframe it as well. And you can see
how it pushes in. If you click on that
keyframes that you just put in and click on the S slope, it will give you a bunch
of different options to actually animate that. So different ease in, ease out, bounce, and various different
kinds of bounces as well. You can also try
the other options, which are Ease in linear
eases all different kinds, and you'll see how it
really changes the push in. It's easy to delete a
keyframe if you want to. Just click on the keyframes
and click this button when it has a negative sign,
and it will remove it. The default aspect
ratio is nine by 16, which is great for different
kinds of social media. Click this button
and you can change the aspect ratio of
your clips like 16, nine, four, three, three, four, one, one, et cetera. You've learned how
to flip video, add keyframes, add speed
effects, change aspect ratios. In the next videos,
you're going to learn my simple four step method
for color correction, as well as adding
fun color looks.
9. Learn About Color Looks & Grading: In this lesson, I'm
going to show you how to do color correction
and color grading. So applying looks, my simple
four step Courtney method, as well as the more advanced settings.
Let's jump right in. There's a difference
between color correction and color looks. Color looks can also be
called color grading. Color correction is when
you're fixing the image, and color grading or color
looks is when you're applying an interesting look
or style to the whole video. I'm going to walk you
through color looks first. There's lots of
different ones in here, and I'm going to show you
how easy it is to apply. So first, you want to hit the clip and then scroll to Los. And you'll see there's lots
of different ones colorful, dramatic, vacation, cool,
so many different things. Try them out, see
what it looks like. There's also a slider at the bottom that you can change the intensity of that look. Play around and see
what suits your video. There's also this
button at the top. If you click it, it will apply the look to all your
clips in the timeline. You can always go in and remove the looks on some
that you don't like. By clicking on the
clip, clicking Looks, and then clicking None. Next, let's work on
color correction. People are often scared when they hear the word
color correction. I'm going to show you my
very easy four step method for beginner color correction. Let's click on a clip
that needs adjusting. First, I like to
duplicate it so I can see the original and then
the one that I'm fixing. Click on the clip,
then click duplicate. And now we have two
in the timeline. Let's click the first one,
and let's click adjust. And you see there's lots
of different options. But if we just want to correct, I would play with the
whites and the Blacks. So you can make a huge
difference if you just make the Blacks go more black and
the whites go more white, and the shadows make
those go a little lower. And you make the highlights. Those are the mid whites. Make
those go a little higher. If you put the
images side by side, you can actually see
the huge difference just these tiny little
changes will make. You're not even touching color. You're just touching the Blacks, the whites, the highlights
and the shadows. This is a very simple way to really pump up
the vibrancy and the color and
everything of a video without having to get into super in depth color correction. This four step adjustment
is a great way to hop into beginner color correction and really elevate your videos. And don't forget to delete the duplicated clip
in your timeline. Now that you know the
basics of color correction, I'm going to show you
the advanced settings that are available to you. To access them,
click on the clip. Then click adjust. Under Light and there's
exposure, you can change. You can change the contrast,
the highlights, shadows. You can change so much in here just by
adjusting the slider. So that was the
light at the top. There's also color. You can change the temperature, the tint, the vibrance, the saturation, and
all with the slider. There's also a
mix, which is hue, saturation and luminescence,
and you can change it with the sliders, grading, which is in the shadows, the mid tones, the highlights, there's lots of different
sliders here for each of these. There's also Vignette. And vignette is when you have a shadow framing your image. And you can change the midpoint, the roundness, the feathering, the highlights, kind of
an old timey effect. And then there's grain. So it makes something look like
it was shot on film. You can change the
amount of grain, the size, the roughness. Again, do that with
these sliders. You can click this
button at the top to apply it to all your clips. The great thing is, you
can actually do this for any of these color
adjustments you've made. You can apply it to
all. This can save a lot of time and also give you a really nice creative look. The key with color correction or color looks is don't be afraid. Try different things. And
remember, you can always undo. So you learned how
to apply looks. You learned how to do
my simple Courtney four step method of
color correction, which is blacks, whites,
shadows and highlights. As well, you have an idea of
the more advanced settings. Before you move on
to the next lesson, be sure to practice
applying looks, the four step simple method. And if you're
feeling adventurous, experiment with the
more advanced settings.
10. Export your video: I'm going to show you
how to export a video. When you're ready to
export the video, click the Export
button at the top. And two options will open up export settings
and Export video. If you open the export settings, you'll see all the
different settings. Let's keep it at the default
and then simply go back. Hit Export, and your
video will export. It will then save it to your
photos folder on your phone. Just make sure to watch the whole video before you upload it anywhere to make sure you have everything that
you want in that video. And then you're
ready to post it.
11. 5 Steps to make a great vertical video, reel: Five steps to make
a great video. And now we're going
to talk about what makes a great scroll
stopping video. And usually it comes
down to the structure. First, you need a hook. A hook is usually the
first one to 3 seconds, and it grabs the attention
of the audience, and it tells them a little
tease of what's to come. It can either ask a question, show the final
result, use emotion. There are many different
kinds of hooks. Here's an example. This one editing trick will make your videos look
more professional. Part two is the
problem or curiosity, and that's the next
three to 8 seconds. You're telling the viewer why they should continue to watch. Example, most videos lose viewers because they
start too slowly. Part three is the
value or the content, and that's the next
eight to 30 seconds. Here you deliver the tip, the transformation,
the actual content. Use fast pacing, cut out pauses, and generally change
the visuals often. The fourth part is
the payoff or result. Here you show the final
outcome or benefit. And finally, five is
the call to action. You end with one
simple direction, whether it's asking for
people to follow or comment, use this discount code, watch another video or
try this technique. So basically the recipe is this. Hook, Problem, value. Result. Call to action. Some extra things to think about when you're creating
a vertical video. Change the visuals often, whether that's with B roll or it's changing the
position of the person, cut in, push in, push out, add effects,
add transitions. Keep the energy moving, keep the energy up, make
every second count. I've created a handy worksheet, and it's available in the
resources for this course. Thank you for
taking this course. If you have any questions or comments, please
send them to me. I look forward to
hearing from everybody. Have fun creating those
videos. Happy editing.
