How To Edit Videos With Shotcut Video Editing Software

1. Introduction: Hi, my name is James and I'm the instructor for the shortcut training. I've been creating videos, scenes to 000 nine, and I use a wide variety of video editing software. Now shortcut is one of my favorites because it has a good balance between features as well as ease of use. I've actually taught large number of people to use a shortcut. People with no background at all, never done a video as well. If you are new to video editing, Reza Shah, I'm going to cover things right from the beginning, running through the user interface. And the simple steps of putting a video together, things like transitions and titles, as well as adding sounds. And when you're ready to move into something more advanced, things like doing between pictures, please Khin video, chroma key and create other cool effects as well. If you have used a shortcut default, these costs may also help you because we will cover some of the more advanced things like keyframes, thinks I'm making texts reveal, split-screen video, and other things that can actually enhance your video. I've broken the course into small, bite-sized lessons so they can actually proceed as fast as you want. If you are totally new, I believe you will be able to pick up shortcut within maybe around an hour to have all the basics and start creating your videos. I look forward to seeing you in the cost less nice straight line. 2. Download Stable Version: In this video, we're going to have a way to download shortcut and what our versions that you can install on your computer. Now the official way to download shortcut is on a shortcut.com or you can also download it from this website called shortcut dot or IgG. But the sites are places you can download the official versions of shortcut. I'm just going to go back to shortcut.com. Now right here, there's a big range. Click the download. So if you can click to download this taken to this page called the download page. And at the time of this recording, which is sometime in September 2020 one are the recommended stable version is 21.03.21. Okay, So you can actually click on the Windows Installer here or windows portable. Click on any of these options and then you can actually save it. So let's say I'm just going to save it and the shortcut when 26 and a CV, okay, So issued by the fast. Now this also link whole news where you can actually try newer versions of shortcut. For example. The latest version as of September 16 is version 21.09 by one tree, right? So this is the newer version. So do take note that here it mentioned that the main purpose of this vision is to fix major bucks in the previous version because 21.08 and we hope to become the new recommended stable version. All right, so you'd have to take note because the 21.03 ISA stable version. Okay. Depending on when you see this recording, maybe shortly after this, they could be the 21.09 could be the stable version. But I do take note that there is a stable version and they are some of these newer versions which has some of the latest features and might have occasionally some instability. So do take note of that. So if you're using it for crucial projects, then my vices still go for stabilization. If you are planning to try new things, you can actually use these versions as well. Now the good thing about shortcut is that you can have more than one version on your computer. So you can actually use, install both end, use whichever ones as most of the book. So before you install anything, before you try anything, always read the warning signs here. For example. Like example, this is one warning sign, right? Projects created in this version, okay, at that time when this was released, cannot be directly loaded by a previous version. Which means if you create a video at that time, at the launch of this 21 by phi I may sometime this year. And you want to down, and you have some projects creator with this version. And then you want to use the older version or the stable version. Then the stable we should will not be able to open this project. So if your projects very shortly, some minor edits is not a problem. However, if you have done maybe hours of edit, then and this version wasn't stay where at a time then you may be a lot of wasted effort. So do take note and read all the warnings. So let's go and download this. Let me show you. This is the GitHub page to download this latest version. These are the files for shortcut for Linux and form. Right now you want to go for other releases. You can try this as well. Click on the Release tab. So you can go for 21.08. So basket leader's vision here, I'm going to save it for the here. I prefer to save it on the sauce. Okay, Very quick. Let's install it. So 621.8 or nine. Click on, I agree. Now this is where you want to maintain a modern one wish and this is where you make some changes. I'm going to browse and I'm going to browse to Here, program files, make a new folder. So I'm just going to call this nice shortcut 21.2109. Okay. Let's go back. Let's browse and low-fi that folder. Okay, so this is the shortcut folder. Now, click on Next. You have the option of either remove OP o program file. So if you do not want to remove it and click that, click on Install start menu, okay, leave it, installed it. So the installation is complete. Click on Close. And let's look for the new software here. Yep, so this is the latest version. So that's where you download shortcut and equity how to install more than one version of shortcut. Now once you have done that, if you want to use the older versions of shortcut, Let's give it over to you to these two here. Okay, So let's say I want to use an older version of shortcut 21.06. Click on this directory. There will be a link to this Ashoka. You can actually fire this up. I'll click on this. And actually, if your computer is have enough memory and advocate a CPU, you can actually run two different shots at the same time. Okay, So this is version 21.06 I have here. This is version 21.09. Okay. It's not recommended that you do this, but just to show that it can be done. All right, so with that, let's get your files install and less die straight into the lessons. 3. Overview of Shotcut Layout: In this video, I'll give you an overview of the shortcut layout so that you know where things are located and sort of gave you the bearings when you understand using these software. Now when you first open shortcut, you will see is something like this n, This is actually the default layout. Will look at the layout. You can actually divide it into four general areas. And within this area here they are playlists, filters, and properties. Directly at the center here is also a preview window and you can also determine your new projects and your recent projects. On the right you have your audio meter and also some recent files, if you open any, right? And right at the bottom is actually the timeline, okay? And here is actually a bunch of menus, as well as the menus for your timeline as well. Now, over here, there's also a tab for your keyframes and the menu is a little bit different. Okay, so let's go back to the timeline. Now, under settings, There's a few things that you can do. If you go to your settings, you can actually go to choose a different theme. Now the default is actually the fusion team. There is also a system team and a fusion like Tim. Thus future water diffusion like Tim, Chicago requires a restart to change team. So let's click on yes. And this is the fusion like team. As you can see, the icons are all dying color and this team is bright. All the icons here are also dark. I'm going to switch over to the system team to give you an idea. And here the icons a little bit more colorful, and this is on Windows 10. I went forward. I will use this system team because the icons are little bit more colorful and you can see things a little bit better. Now first, right in the center here is some things you can set your projects folder, your project name, and your video mode. Now you can actually set this later at the final and you want to save something, or you can also save here right now, Let's set our projects folder. Click on it. Now the present folder is document video training shall current version 21 and row. Okay, So if I'm happy with this, I can just select the folder by volunteers, change it, I can just change it to a different folder and select this. And you can see that Project's Folder, which means your shortcut far the dot MLT firewall. Be safe in this folder. You can give your project a name right now or give it a little bit later. So let's just put the S and assemble project. Okay? Now the next point here is the video mode. Now usually the video mode is set to automatic as a default. However, you can also set it to any of these other modes as well, as well as to set it as a customer as well. Okay. If you set it to automatic, your first video clip that you bring into shortcut, R will determine your video mode. For example, if you bring in any footage that is high-definition, 10 ADP at 25 frames per second. Then Chicago said that S the video model. Alternatively, you can also set it right now so that you set the video mode. Now if you're not sure for a start, I suggest that you leave it as as automatic. However, they could be some instances that you want to set it say yes. 4. Managing Files in Shotcut: In this video, I want to show you the importance of making sure your media files as you edit your videos is in a folder and you don't make changes or change names to your media files or to the folder. Okay. So let me just show you what I mean. Now I have these three video clips here in this folder called document video and sample folder. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to put these files into the playlist in shortcuts and let me just pause it. Okay. And let me just place these other two clips into shortcut as well. All I'm doing is actually dropping, dragging and dropping the cliffs into the list. So right now I have this attractive share. Okay. Just ignore the name. Blue sky evening and Plano hit, Okay? And I'm going to save this. Let's click on Save. And I'm going to save this in a sample folder, and I'm going to call this project and assemble project. Okay? So simple project is just the MLT file that shortcuts saved all your ideas, every thing that you are putting, the arrangement, the trims and etc. Okay, so let me just go back to this folder here. So now I have this attractive and assemble project. I'm going to close our shortcut. Okay? And I'm gonna change the name of this, adopt click to say too. So essentially it's the same file. So I'm going to open my shortcut again. Now you'll notice that there is a fall and a warning that comes up. They say they are missing files in your project. Okay, Now, if I were to just click on Open, then they will be missing files. So what you need to do is actually to click on this, double-click on this, and then locate the file. For example, I know that this is the DoubleClick, so I'm just going to click on OK. And you'll notice that the green checkmark comes up. So you click on, Okay, so which means that shortcut has been able to locate that file. You'll notice now that the file is there. And one other thing is that you take a look at this. You'll notice that Eclipse shortcut has created a new project file, colleagues progenitor sample project dash, repair dot MLT. Okay. If I save it, then a new file will be created. Let's go back and take a look at this folder here. So you now, now know that there is a sample project. This is repelled. Now one other thing as well I want to show you is this. Now this sample project files do not contain your media. Ok? So for example, the video clips are pretty large. This is like 32 megabytes. Describe is 27 megabytes. Whereas the project files the dot m multifaceted, very small, usually only tens or hundreds of kilobytes. And that's because all it contains is the information about the edits that you have done, the filters, the title, okay? So when you're editing your video is very important not to move clips around. That way. If you want to remedy any video, you don't have to go look around where you have placed your clips. Or worse come to worse if you had deleted that clip, then you wouldn't be able to create your project or you wouldn't be able to edit that video anymore. 5. Convert Variable Framerate Video: In this video, I will show you how to use the convert, edit a friendly function in a shortcut and why you should use them. Okay, so first I'm just going to open a file. And this file is actually a file that is being shot with a smart phone or video clip that's been shot with a smartphone. So this is the clip. I'm just going to open it. Okay, As usual, that clip is playing. However, you notice that this window comes up which is converted to edit friendly. Okay, now what is this? Now this file Shiga says that it is a variable frame rate and not reliable for and U12 converges if you do not want to convert it and just click on cancel. If you want to convert it, then you have the option of choosing a good, better, best, okay, now usually for my projects I just think we good, which is pretty much good enough. However, if you want better quality or your one to your video to look the best, you can actually go for the best, which is lossless format. Okay? So I'm just going to stick with good and click on. Okay. Now, a window opens up and shortcut ask you where you want to save this file again so you can actually select any directory that you want, okay, So I'm just going to leave it in this directory and click on save. So shortcut is converting these fall into a fixed frame rate fall, okay? And if you put this down onto your timeline, you'll notice that this is the converted file, right? And if you go to your Properties, you can see that this is a fixed frame rate. Okay? Now, let me open another example, but this time I'm going to cancel the conversion. Okay? I'm going to open this one. Ok and click on cancel. So I'm just going to pause the video. Now, if I go to your Properties, you see that this file here in the source window has a variable frame rate, and this is quite common with most video shot with the smartphone. I can also use this on the timeline. However, if you want to convert this, now, you can also do that by hitting back to your Properties tab. Click on, Convert. The same menu comes up as well. Click on, Okay. And again, shut, close, ask you where you want to save this. And if you want to change the name to something else, you can also do that. And then click on Save and click on Yes. Right? So it is converting this file. So you have a video clip that is very long then this may take some time. However, it is quite short, then it will just take a few moments. And one editing, you notice that this file now is automatically replace with this converted click. Okay? So and you'll notice that if you check on the properties again, now that this is a fixed frame rate video, okay, so that's all about this cannot edit friendly feature in shortcut. 6. Basic Edits: In this video, I'll show you how to do some basic edits in the source window itself without even touching the timeline. So I'm just going to open a file and I'm just going to use this font. Okay, I'm going to pause it. Okay. Now on this as source window, you'll notice that your play head is here. And if you click on play, on the play head will move. Okay? And this is the beginning of your video, and this is the end. You can actually trim your video with these buttons here from the beginning or from the end. All you have to do is to click on it and drag it. Okay? And essentially you have actually trimmed off the front of the video. You can do the same as well for the back as well. So select this triangle icon, drag it to the left. And essentially you're actually trimming the back end of that video. And the reason why you want to trim the video is so that you shorten the video to the path that you want before you drag it down onto the timeline. Otherwise, it may be inconvenient to do so. For example, if you have a two minute long video and you just want, say, 10 seconds pre-training. It is much better than dragging the entire video onto your timeline and then trimming, okay? Now there's also another way to trim the video. You can actually move the play head to the position that you want. Okay, let's say this is the position there are wines. I can press on I, on my keyboard to set the in point. And you notice that that triangle jump from there to there to send the in point. Okay? I can also move here to set, press on o to set the out point. I can also move up of this position and press O to set the out point as well. Okay, So this is the second method of setting that trim point. Now, another way you can actually set the trimming is to play the video. I'm going to play this. And then I'm going to quickly either press on I, O, on my keyboard and you'll notice that this triangle jumps as well. Okay, So let me just reset this was and click on play and press on I on my keyboard and you'll notice it will trim it. And the pressure. Now, if I want to change my mind, I want today is it says, Okay, next I'm going to press O on my keyboard. And you can notice that it will jump to there. If I change my mind and I went to 0 again, it changes. Okay, So these are three ways to do some basic ideas on your video by trimming it first. And you can actually do two things after this. You can actually bring this trimmed version onto your timeline. Okay, So this is a much shorter video because we have trimmed this. The original source video is 21 seconds long. Here is only about the din seconds. Another thing is if you want to quickly export your video, you can go to your export tab. And you can actually just export from your sauce that things that you have trimmed. Okay, so that's all about doing some quick edits in shortcut. 7. Start Editing on the Timeline: In this video, I'm going to cover some basic edits on the timeline. So I have this clip here on my source window. I'm going to place this clip on the timeline. There are two ways to do that. First is to use this append to their current track. Just going to click on it. And, and this clip is added to the timeline. So you can see in the project now it is in the project tab. And you can see this girl riding and an event. Now I'm going to select this clip now. Now there's another way to place your clips on a timeline, which is to take the clip and drag it down onto the timeline like this. Okay, So this is the second way of putting things on that timeline. Now, in the timeline, there are a few things that you can do now to trim that video, but you need to do is just to glow to the back of that video, you notice that your mouse changes to an arrow. You can actually select that and move it to the left. To trim that video. You can retrieve that video by hovering over to the end and then dragging it out as well. So that is trimmed at the video again. You can do the same thing at the beginning as well, and hover with the mouse and do that. Next, I'm going to select the clip and move it. Now to move clips around, what you can do is just to select it with your mouse and then you can actually drag it to the left or to the right. You can place the clip so that it goes back to back their way when you play the video, there wouldn't be any doubt section. Okay. Now you'll leave a gap in between. And then you play the video. They will be a section that is DAC. And then of course it comes back to this. If you want to move the clip lessee this clip to the back, or you need to do is just to drag, select this and drag it to the back. You can also do that. Split a clip or you need to do is to move your play to the position that you want to split a clip and then make sure your clip is selected. And your clip is selected. There is going to be a faint red lines surrounding the box here. So you know that this is the selected clip. You can use this to split the clip, split at play. And now you have two clips, one on the left and one on the right. After you split the clip, you can delete this. And there are two types of delete. One is lift, okay, which is using this icon here. When you lift this clip is taken off. However, the clip at the bottom doesn't move. Let me undo that. I'm going to undo that by using this icon here. All right, Another way to remove the clip is use ripple, delete, and a rapidly works best. For example, if you have cliffs like this, you went to the d, this and close up that gap. Okay, I'm going to use this to ripple delete. You notice that the subsequent clip closes up this spot so that there is no empty space. Okay, so that is ripple, delete. I'm going to undo that and lift the clip here. Now, append adds a clip to the back of that track. It doesn't matter where the location of your play head is at the moment. So let's put this, I'm going to select this click here. Okay? And I'm going to press a pen. And notice that now this clip here has been added to the back. I'm going to undo that. And I'm going to place my playhead here again. This time I'm going to overwrite the clip, okay? When you override the clip, shortcuts going to place the clip here and this section of the cliffs, depending on how long is the duration of the clip that you want to use Anki. So he has written from here to here. All right, so there's some basic edits. I'm going to undo that. Now you can also copy and pasting using this icon over here. So let's say I am going to copy this clip here. Okay, this could be that go in the elephant. Let's say I went to retrieve this first. Okay, just to make it shorter, I'm going to copy this section and place it at the frontier. So select this, go to copy. Copy to the sauce. All right, so place a plate at the front and then click on Paste. Now this pace, we shift the following clips to the right. The rest of the clips have shifted to the right. I'm going to undo that. There's another feature that I want to show you, which is this toggle snapping. Now, let me at the moment, toggle snapping is turned on. So when I move this clip here, you notice that it moves this way. However, as I place it closer, it will sort of stick to that or a magnet to the end clicked and close up that gap. Okay? Now, if you turn this off, okay, I can move it away. However, when a movie Close it doesn't pull it in and close that gap. Okay. Another way toggle snapping works is on a different video tracks. I'm just going to give a brief overview about video tracks right now by going to cover are having multiple tracks in the next section. Okay, so first I'm going to add a video track. All right, so I have a video track V2. Let me show you what snapping can do when you have more than one shred. I'm going to take this clip and place it on top here. Remember that toggle snapping is turned on. So let me drag this up. Okay. Toggle snapping will also make this a straight line. Okay? It is exactly at a point. Now, if my toggle snapping is turned off, then this doesn't snap to this line, okay, between the bottom, clipped ended, top click. All right, so I can actually move it wherever I want. Now, let me zoom in this, zoom into the timeline. You can actually see this much better. All right, now we're focused at being turned on. It is very easy to snap to that position. All right, and finally, these are the zoom buttons. Whenever you enter zoom out of the timeline, which means you want to see more of that timeline, okay? Or Zoom In, which means you want to see a closer look. So meaning allows you to trim or split a clip right at a position. If your, let's say you want to split somewhere around here. If you have zoomed in, you can see that. And even like this is quite hard to see. However, if you zoom right in, that it is much easier to see that zoom timeline to fit, which means when you press it, chateaux zoom this to fit the entire timeline. Okay, So these are some basic edits on the timeline. 8. Using a playlist: In this video, I will show you how to use the playlist feature in shortcut. There are a few ways to add files to your playlists. And the first way is the normal way. Let's say I'm just going to open a file. And I'm going to open this follower here, unless pause it. I can actually just drag this onto the playlist. And then now the clip is there. Open another file here. Let's see, I'm going to open these kind of need to add your clip to your playlist is once you've opened it in the source window, you can just click on this. The software to play this, the plus sign and the video clip will be added onto the play list. A, W, E to F files to your playlist. It go to this icon over here and files to please click on this. You can actually navigate to whichever folder you have your video clips in. I'm just going to use this one sample period here. And I'm going to select a few clips. I'm going to select this one here. I'm going to select this one, this one. And let's select some images as well. Click on Open. And this false or these clips will be either into the playlists. You can do so including image yes as well. Like for example, this is a static image. This is also a static image as well. Now if you wanted to remove any files from your playlist, if you need to do is just to select this and then click on the Remove cut, the minus icon here, and that clip will be removed from the playlist. You can actually display this a few ways. So right now it is displayed as taus. So you can see the image on the thumbnail and you can see the name as well as the duration. Now you can also view it as icons and this is what it looks like. Or you can also view it as, view as details. So you can see the details. Tom news that in point and the whole point. Which means if you have made any changes to the in and out point, you will show over here. Let's say I went to, in this clip back onto the source window. All I need to do is to double-click it and now it is in the source window. If I went to pre-treat me, Let's see, I want to trim it. Said that not the original input is at 0, right? At the beginning means here. Now, if I said this to somebody here, you'll notice now the in point change as well as the duration. I'm going to switch back to the tiles view. But there's also a menu over here, click on it. There are few things you can do. You can remove all, select, all edit selected to timeline and etc. You can also sort it by name by as well. And basically, this is how you use the lay list. Now you can drag files from your playlist onto the timeline in case. So let's just do that. Now. The entire clip is on the timeline. You can also trim your clip first, and now this is the original clip. Let's say you went to let's say I want to use this portion here. Needs to stop. That is onto that timeline. That's how you can use the playlists in the shortcut. 9. Additional Functions on the Timeline: This video, I will show you some extra functionalities on the timeline. So I have here two clips on my attract and train a V1. Now Raqqa at the beginning you'll notice that there are three icons. The first one is to lock a track and you love to try. It means that you cannot edit anything on the track. You can't move it, you can trim it. And it is used if you have completed your edit and you do not want to accidentally move anything on the track. So you can actually lucky. Next is the icon to mute this. And this is useful if you have audio on a certain trait which you do not want. For example, I have audio on this clip here. Let's play, this is just an HTTP traffic noise. So by muting it, I could have a voice aware the bottom or some music. Finally, the third icon is hiding. Hiding it means turning this entire track off. It is as if this entire track does not exist and is particularly useful if you have more than one video tray. Okay, let me turn it on, but let me just add a video track first. Click on this to add a video track. So this is V2. Let's say that I have this tray at the top. Okay. All right. So this is a different scene, right? Let me mute the two tracks with a play that is point. You are seeing the tray at the bottom. And once the plate moved to this point, you are seeing the track at the top. Hiding or unhide. The track at the top allows you to see what's on the triangle below. That way you can adjust your edits accordingly. Not OB, to use high ISA, you may have a logo here. So on the track V2, I wish you do not want to export for certain particular website, then you can actually place all your logos on the track V2 and then hide this fostered and export Anthony on for Southern exports. Okay. Next, the track operations. I've already shown you how to add a video track. You can also add audio track the same way and the audio track comes to the bottom. Okay, let me just undo that. But now that you can make your tracks taller or shorter by going to this option here. If you make the tracks shorter, it will look like this. It is useful when you have many tracks that you are editing a while. You still want to have space to see what you are editing on this preview window, okay? So usually I use my tracks at this high and if you want to see things closer, you can also make your high, even taller. Alright? There's also a menu here to select everything on your timeline. So you see here they're, all clips are selected. Let's go back to the menu here and go back to select None. All right, so the other options here as well, our ripple or tracks, which I'll explain shortly, show audio waveforms if you went to see the waveforms and as well as showing the video tambien, okay, So at the moment it is melted so you don't see the waveforms. So you can also hide their waveforms. So there is no waveform. I suggest that you leave this on because then you know that sudden facts have audio. Otherwise, as you add it and you are using more than two or three tracks, then you may wonder way the sound is coming from right. Next is this option to show video thumbnails. If you hide these, then you won't see any Tammy as they're okay. If you turn it on, you can see the video Tom years. Right. Now. These are a few icons here, talks about timeline markers, including this as well, and that is explained in a different video. Please look for the video called time-like Mockus. Alright, so one final thing is selecting multiple clips. Now, if you want to select more than one click, you can select this. All right? And assuming you're going to select all these clips here on track V1, you can go to the end, press Shift on your keyboard, and then click on your mouse and all four tracks are selected. Okay, let me undo that. Now if you just want to select sudden clips, then you can also use Control on your keyboard. Let's say I want to select this clip, this clip and this clip. I'm going to press first, select this, press Control on my keyboard and pressing it down. Press this one and say press this one. Okay? And now this tree trunks are being moved. Okay, so that's all about these more advanced features on the timeline. In a shortcut. 10. Ripple Trim and Drop, Ripple Edit across all tracks: In this video, we will cover ripple, trim, interrupt, as well as report edit across our tracks. First let's go with repo treatment drop. I'm going to turn all this off. What the report trim and drop dust if you turn it on, is that allows you to insert things and it automatically, it pushes your clips to the right so that you don't worry things. Let's see, I went to place this clip here. So right now it is this as seen on the archaea LCC. Here is a go in an elephant. All right, so let's just place this clip on the back here. Let's say I went to insert the clip over here, and we're going to insert this deer in the zoo. See this part to this point. This point to this point over here. Right in the middle here. We reboot trim and drop function turned on. I can just drag this in and place it right in between the line here. And for subsequent clips are pushed to the right. Let me undo that. Maybe this is turned off. Doing the same thing with overwrite clip. I'm going to undo that. Now. There's nothing as well, but let me turn this on. Now. Let's say I wanted to move this clip to the right. It makes some space. So if I select this and move my clip to the right, the subsequent clips are pushed to the right. With this turned on. Let me undo that. Now if I've turned this off, if I do the same thing, what happens is a transition will happen. So these are some key things to watch out for review are using this repository men drop. I'm going to undo that. Next. I'm going to talk about this report across our tracks. Let's bring this clip onto the timeline here. And I'm going to bring it to the top. Make them longer, make it longer. Here are some, some gears and this one is subtract off key SLCC. If I leave this off, Let's see, I went to do a split. Let me do another split. Let's say I went to do a report delete. By doing this. You put the limits when I delete this clip here, we're close up to get the cliffs at the bottom. Doesn't move. Let me undo that. Now if I do report across our tricks with this turned on, once I delete this, you'll notice that this track here, we'll also this section below this block wall, so it will be deleted. Select this, do a ripple delete. Notice that let me undo that. Let me redo that. So you can see again, select this, do a ripple delete. What it means is that if you have selected this shortcut will delete everything along vertical, right? Today is the top track where the bottom you will delete everything at the same time. That's the function of a repo delete. Now, when you are using both in conjunction, things change again. You have to pay attention to this array. Let me just undo the split here. Alright, so this is the clip. And I'm going to turn ripple trim and draw on as well as reported this across our trucks. Alright, let's go back to this clip you on it. Let's say I wanted to put this into, in between these two sections. Again, between this clip and this clip, I'm going to drag this down and this in-between. All right. The threat on the right is pushed back. At the same time it has actually opened up a space for this section. Yes, split the clip on top and open up the space. So pay attention to this. When these two things are turned on or off, you can change the effect on the clips on your timeline. 11. Preview scaling and proxy files for smoother editing: In this video, I will cover the previous scaling as well as the proxy future in shortcut. Now what these two features does is it allows you to edit your videos much smoother because users and create a smaller file sizes as you edit and preview your project. So let me show you what I mean by that. I'm going to open a file and this is just the original clip. So this is the original claim in shortcut. This is 1920 by ten the pixels. This is the full HD video. Now, when you take a look at this video, the resolution of this video is just a fraction on probably 1 third or a quarter of full HD. It doesn't really make sense for shortcut to use a lot of resources to display the entire window. One way that you can actually just display a smaller version is to use a previous scaling. And to do that, go to Settings and go to previous scaling. And you can actually select smaller resolution video, for example 540. Or even say, I went to India. If you have a select either of these, you'll notice that somewhere here, previous scaling is on 720. You know, right now, shortcut is displaying an image that is half the size of EGD. The playback will be smoother, especially if your computer is marginal in terms of hardware. For example, my computer is pretty up-to-date, so I don't have any issues with displaying full resolution video. However, when you add effects like transitions or SE tax, then there could be some lag. And using previous scaling can reduce or eliminate that leg. You can actually select whichever previous scaling that you want. You'll notice that there will be some loss of resolution when you post a video compared to say, are not using previous scaling. Notice these images so much sharper. Now to go to proxy, you can click on Settings again and there is a proxy. And you can turn proxy on and off. Let's use proxy and going to turn it on. Proxy feature is turned on. So you'll notice here is proxy is on at five for d. What Proxy does is he creates smaller versions of that file. If you only works when you place the source window either in the playlist or in the timeline. I'm going to open another clip here, just to show you. Open this one. Pause it. Let's put this clip onto the playlists. You'll notice on the jobs. A job will be created where shortcut is creating a proxy, video clip. Shortcut is making a proxy. If I place this clip onto the timeline, right now, you'll see the word proxy is there. Let me just shorten this. Another way is to open the floor and then paste it onto the timeline. Shortcut will also create that Roxy. Again, you see that proxy being created. Some other settings in proxy. Let's go back to proxy. You can actually set your storage where proxy files are saved. For example, the moment I've actually created this folder and the shortcut and proxy. So all the proxies are stored in this folder or directory. You can actually use any directory that you like and tell our shortcut there too stiff your proxy files. There's also another way you can use proxy clips. I'm just going to go back to settings, go to proxy and proxy off. Now you'll notice that now shortcut isn't using proxy eclipse. This is my original clips. There weren't proxy is gone. Let's open a file and less accurate. This one here. I'm going to drag the clip onto the timeline. Now let's say you are editing. You'll notice that this particular clip or any particular clip is creating some legs. What you want to do is create proxy for that particular clip. All you have to do is select the clip, go to properties, go to proxy, click Create, click on Link proxy. Shortcut welcoming a proxy and you notice that there are proxy is created, which means that this claim Chicago have a proxy for it, whereas the other clips are the original clips. One final thing, if you go to settings, you go to proxy. In terms of hardware encoder, if you're not sure, you can just leave it. If you know that your computer has a strong enough graphics or cat or GPU, you can select, use hardware encoder to configure that. Click on configure hardware encoder, and click on detect shortcut. We're actually detect whichever how they're encoded that you have. Then there is, go back to your proxy and use hardware encoder. The next time. Shortcut script a proxy, you will use your graphics card to create that box. You'd not much faster time. That's all about using previous scaling and proxy files in shortcut. 12. Creating and adjusting Transitions: In this video, I will show you how to create and adjust transitions in a shortcut. I have these two clips on my timeline. First one is a clip of chemo. Here is the Gordon elephant. So the easiest way to create a transition is to select a clip and then drag it all to the adequate transition is created. Now one thing very important about dragging a transition a lot to the adipocyte. And again, to create this transition is that you must ensure that this is turned off. The report trim and drop function is turned off. You turn it on. You won't be able to do that because you will push the clips to the right. This is something pay attention to. Now getaway. To do a transition is you can actually hover on one or the clip and drag it over to the other end. I'm gonna show you shortly how it is. But there is one very important caveat. The important thing is that you must have trim the clip first. Otherwise, do not have material to do the transition the second. Now if I hover over to my end of this clip and try to drag it to the right. I can't, because this is the maximum length of the clip. If I hover over to this end as well, again, it is the maximum. I can extend the trim because that is the entire clip. However, if I have trimmed this back, if I have trimmed this clip earlier on, which means the origin of type, there is an extra material there. Then I can do the transition the second week. I'm going to turn off that snapping. So this time I'm going to select the clip. How will my mouse over the end of the first clip select this and drag it over. I can create that transition. I'm going to undo that. I can do the same if I select the clip on the right and then how will the beginning and then drag it to the left. I can do that transition again. This is what it looks like. All right? This is something very important to take note of when you do transitions. Because otherwise you'd be wondering how come you can do it for some clips and not That's because you have trimmed it or the extra material or handles for you to do that, digest your transition. You can hover over to the transition itself selectively your mouse. And then you can actually drag it to the right or to the left to adjust it by dragging it. If you lengthen this section, you actually lengthening that transition. And the transition happen over a longer period of time. And to shorten it, you can do, just do the same. Now, you want to remove a transition. You can just select that transition and click on Delete on the keyboard and you'll remove that transition. And then you can actually just go and drag these back to the position that you want. And drag the clip and close bank so that it becomes a jump cut again. Now let's talk about different types of transitions. You can select that transition, go to your Properties. And here you have an option to change the type of transition that you want. The default is that these off transition, there's nothing much to adjust. However, when you come to see more horizontal, you have the option to adjust the softness. Let me move the playhead over here by horizontally so you can see a bomb moving horizontally across the screen. Alright? So let's put some in the middle. And softness refers to this. You can see the line here is pretty soft. If you reduce the softness, you will see a hotline. You see a hotline moving across the screen. So in decimal you want, you can adjust this here. And softness around to the default is 20%. If you adjusted more than, probably will fill the entire screen. Adjust this to suit your needs. Next day or things like Barnhardt vertical, one, horizontal. Let's select another one. Let's say bond or vertical. This is what it looks like. Okay? Now you can invert it. There. Now the bundle works in the opposite direction. Finally is the audio. If there's audio on your tray, the default is CrossFit, or you can actually choose to not alter this. I just wanted to have it continue. However, usually it's best to leave CrossFit, right? That's all about transitions in a shortcut. 13. How to speed up or slow down a clip: In this video, I will show you how to speed up or slow down the video clip. In shortcut, I have a clip here on my timeline, and this is playing at normal speed. You can see the people walking in. This PDE is pretty normal. Clip selected, hit on the word into your Properties tab. You'll see it right at the top here. Speed setting. So right now the default is one, which means it is playing at a normal speed. Now if you were to play at a faster speed, or you need to do is to change this. So if you change it to two means you will be twice as fast as the normal speed. Change your keyboard. Or you can use the arrow buttons up and down here and click on apply. Once you have hit Apply, you notice that this clip here is now much shorter. I'm just going to quickly play. You can see the things and people are moving much faster. That is in terms of changing the speed. Now one thing very important is that if you slow down your clean, you have to be aware of the clip that is behind it. Let's see if you have edited your video. And you want this part to be two x. And then right behind it, right up against it, there is a video clip or any media. If you decide to change, let's say you decided that maybe to a two-axis too fast. You went to slow it down to say 1.5. I click Apply. All right, please take note of what happens. Notice that the clip overwrite what was at the back. Let me undo that. They originally B's here. This is a two x and this go in there. Elephant is a disposition. If I redo it, changed the speed to 1.5 x again. Written this one. If you want to change the speed of Eclipse ahead, you have to make sure that there is adequate space for you to change the speed. If you want to change to a lower speed, then you can actually close back your clip up to the unnecessary position. Now in this speed change, there's also a pitch compensation. Okay, so let me show you what I mean. Mute unmute this clip. This clip here is, let's change the back to the normal speed. Let's play this. Fox jumped over the lazy dog. Now if I change it to the highest speed, say to x, we don't pitch compensation. You'll probably hear me talking like a chipmunk. Now if I turn pitch compensation on, although I speak much faster, the song is still legible in a sense. Also Jump Box and these are few things to take them off. And you went to adjust as bit using the shortcut. 14. Create a video using still images: In this video, I will show you how to use still images or photos to create a video in shortcuts. Now, I have some photos are still images that are placed on a timeline. And placing images on the timeline works the same as placing any normal video clip. So I'm just going to remove this first. And let's go back over to the playlist. And they say, I want to drag the stone from the play this onto the timeline. I can just select this and drop it down. Okay? You can also say select this in the source window, double-click it now that it's in a sauce, you can just drag it onto the timeline. Alright, That's how adding images to your timeline works. I'm just going to undo that. Now. If you want to lengthen the duration of an image, you can do that. Just have all to the n. You can trim it just like you would do any video clip. You can also do some transitions. I'm just going to select this and we're happy to create a transition. Are there? This is how that transition will look like. Let me undo that. One thing to take note of is the aspect ratio of your photos or your images. For example, this photo is widescreen, which means the aspect ratio is 16 over nine. However, this photo is four-thirds, and you'll see that there will be black bars on their site. Now the aspect ratio is the width to the height of that photo. If you've taken any photos or vertically, you will have this huge black blocks on the left and on the right. There's a simple way to get rid of this, or you need to do is hit on the word to your filters. Filter. Go to video and look for your blurred pet filter. This is the one. Select this, and you have this blurb pet. You can adjust how much blur that you want and you want it to be shot which doesn't look very good. You can actually create something around here. I'll just use the default. Can do the same thing for this as well. And it works the same way. Let me remove this. Natalie to deal with such black bars is to EDA on different kind of filter, which is the size, position and rotate filter. And then you use the zoom to zoom in, which means you are gonna cropping the photo. By scaling in this photo around, maybe a 140% would do it. That way. You're black boss will not hidden in essentially you are zooming in the case today, four kinds of crop into the photo. All right, Now you can also mix images with medial as well. So let me just bring this video down into the timeline. This is the camera. You can also have transitions between images as well as video clips. It works just as saying, right now, if I went to export the video there, a shortcut would actually create all these into a video. That's all, uh, by using still images to create video in the shortcut. 15. Align media clips easily: In this video, I will show you how to use the align to reference tray feature to align your audio to your video. In order to do that, one thing you have to be careful is that your video trademarks have audio attached to it. Otherwise, without audio won't be able to reference. This track. Basically relies on the audio that in the video to synchronize that, you need to do is put your video and your audio track onto your timeline. Then you can right-click and go to M. M is actually more. And then click on Align to reference a tray. Now selected the audio track. What you want to do is to reference the video tray. Now, if you select that the same or audio track, then you'll see the X mark here on the cross, which means that you can do it. You have to align another tray. I hope that you get it so you select the video. The reference track will be the other one, and you can align several tracks at the same time. Alright? You just need to select one reference tray. Now, once you have done that, what you need to do now is just to click on process and apply. Okay? And you can see now that this wave form has a line. And let's take a listen to this. I hope that this video has been helpful if you'd like it to give it a thumbs up. You really hacky. So this is how it's done, is pretty simple. Now, there's also a feature for you to offset in case there is some speed adjustment range. For example, if your audio drift in and out, which can happen if you have a long recording, you can try this as well. To set this as one of these adjustment. And the software will try to adjust for it. That's all about these aligned to a reference trait feature. 16. Adding audio track and adjusting volume: In this video, I'll treat how to add audio tracks into your video in chat. Now I have a clip here on my timeline and there's some background sound in this video clip. I'm just going to mute the sound so that you won't hear the traffic noise. So to add the audio track, or you need to do is go to your menu here. You can select this, go to trek operations, select Add audio, and then you will have a new audio track. Next way you can do is to select any other audio and drink audio clip at the bottom. Now I'm going to select this. Now this is a B-tree which I've already put into the playlist. I'm going to double-click it, so it is in my source. I can actually play this Intuit. Alright, let's see, I want to bring this down onto this track. All I had to do is to select this and drag it down as you would any other video clip. Now this music is quite long. I'm going to move to the end of the video and then click on S on the keyboard. Just split this. And then I'm going to just delete this. Now I have the audio down here. Alright, so we can have that bleed. Now the music here, it's very loud. So one way to reduce the volume is called to your filters. Make sure you select that clip. Then click on Edit Filter or two audio. Look for given volume. You can actually reduce the volume here. Let's take a listen. That's how you add audio into your video. As a side note, you can tell the difference between adding music to your clip. It changes the feeling of your clip daughter Lily, instead of say, hearing traffic noise, which could be a boring scene. Instead, you replace it the music. That's how you do it. That's how you add an audio track into your video project, as well as control the volume. 17. Detach Audio from video: In this video, I'll show you how to separate the audio from a video into a separate or your track. Now I have here a video of me speaking junkie over the lazy dog. To separate the audio from this video tracking is very simple. Make sure you select the clip. Then you can right-click and then go Two more. Go to detach audio. And then this debt now, the audio is on a separate audio track. Now because I have an empty audio track, he created this threat a2. Let me undo that. If I do not have an existing audio track, I do the detach again. You will automatically create this your thread. Now once you have done that, allows you to move your clips separately. This is useful if you have one of two things. If you have audio data slightly our sink, and you can actually re-sync it by either moving your video clip or by adjusting your audio. Make sure that this is turned off. The toggle snapping. Otherwise it will be hard to do my new adjustment. Let's say for example, you went to adjust it by a tiny bit. Make sure that this is turned off. This and also another way to do this as well. Let me just undo all this. Now the audio and the video is back to its normal, not separated yet. I can add another audio track. This is my source video of me trying to explain something. Now, if I were to drag this video clip onto A1, shortcut will be able to remove the video and just get, get the audio. Okay, I'm gonna do that now. Notice that this is all audio. Now, if I put my play head here and height the top track, or maybe I just remove this tray here, remove the clip on top. So you can see that really suggest audio. Now, the quick brown fox jumped. These are two ways to separate your audio from your video and shortcut. 18. How to fade video and audio: In this video, I'll show you how to create a fade in and fade outs in a shortcut. And we will do it for both for the video as well as for the audio. Now, I have a clip here on the timeline. This is a familiar clip here. You can hear some sounds. You can see the audio meter jumping as well. In order for you to hear me clearly, I'm going to mute this over here. So the audio is still there, okay, and you can actually see the audio pygmy test you in jumping. This Mute button is only muting the edits. It is not muting this way or this way is different. To add a fit. I'm going to show you the first way the filters. Let's go to Filter and go to your video and select a field in the video. Now straight away, you see that this has created this line over here. You have a video. This is how it looks like. Alright? You can actually adjust the duration of your feet more. You notice that this dark triangle is changing shape and getting longer and longer can also reduce it by using this. Alright, so this is how you create a video. Let me just remove this. Secondary to create fit is to hover over to the beginning of this video clip, you will see that the bubble is mounting up. You can select that bubble and drag it to the right. And you also create their feet in. Now because this clip has audio in, audio is also automatically create it. Okay? So at the beginning the sound will be very minimal or nonexistent, and then the volume will get louder and louder. This is how you create bought a fit in, in video and audio. Now, I'm going to remove this more than this. And I can also do the same at the back of that video clip as well. So this will be a fit out. Just go to the end and drag it. You can create a theta. Want to remove all this. You have to detach the audio from this clip. Or if your client doesn't have audio, then it looks a little bit different. I'm going to detach the audio here. Now the audio is on a separate track. Now if I were to do a fit the same way by going over to the bubble and select this. And notice that this time will neither feeding video is created. Audio doesn't have any fit. You can do the same for audio as well. Either hover over and drag it to create a fit. Or you can also go to your filters. Tech could add a filter to audio, theta audio. Now the audio is fader over here. These are two ways to create fits in video and audio. Let me show you this, adjust opacity instead of feeding black. All right, and I remember that there is a fit here, but there's only one video track here. If I play this, this is what you will look like. However, if I were to select this, although the units still there, you can see here, no fit happens. And the reason for that is because there is no video thread below this heavier tray. Let's add a video track. I'm going to move this above. The filters are still there. You can see, all right, when you select the clip, what I'm gonna do is I'm going to add a different video to the bottom tray. Essentially, what's happening now is you're actually seeing the bottom tray. Let me hide the top. The bottom threat is this girl on an elephant. Let me unhide the top trace. When I play this now, you will see that the fit happens and something like a transition happens. Okay? Now what you're seeing on the preview window is the top track. If I were to hit out, you actually feed back onto the elephant. Be careful of this when you are using adjust opacity instead of fit with black. And this is quite useful if you are feeding texts, for example. And I do check out that video about using how to fit tax. So these are several ways to use fits in video and audio in shortcut. 19. Reverse a clip : In this video, I will show you how to reverse a clipping shortcut. And this is pretty simple. Select the clip that you want to go to your Properties tab, and you can see it right at the bottom tab. Option to reverse it. I click on that and a shortcut will pop up a window and ask you what format you want to create it in. Very, you want to have you in good, better or best. At the bottom you'll see that the goodwill have a medium file size, that they will have a large and the biggest will have lossless frame. So usually I click choose between the medium and the large. However, up to you, if you really need the quality, you may want to have the largest file size. Click on OK. Shocker. We'll ask you where to create this saved version of the reverse clip. I'm going to place it in my sample material here. And you'll see that it is converting this file. Then it is also creating a reverse version of that. Once it's done, this far is actually automatically changed for you. Alright, so now this is called India reversed. And you replay the video right now. This is what you would see. Okay, then click Place in reverse. Alright, so that's all of our how to reverse a clip in shortcut. 20. Applying filters to clip, track or project: In this video, I will show you how to apply filters to the individual clip to attract n to the entire project. I have a few clips on my timeline here, and they are on two different video tracks. Alright, so do take note of the brightness already, just to give you an idea of the brightness of the clip, I'm just going to use the brightness filter as a demo. So first I'm going to apply the brightness field to this clip alone filters. I'm going to my favorite here as a filter and add a brightness. You can also find it in the video and the brightness as well. All right, So the default is 100%. And for the purpose of this demonstration, I'm just going to make it a bit extreme so that you can see things a bit better. Okay? So right now, this brightness filter is applied to this clip alone. It doesn't affect the rest of the clips. Alright, this is how you would normally apply filter. Let me undo that. Now you can also apply the filter to attract. And to do that, you want to do is to click on the beginning of a track. He turns color. And then you can go to your filters and filter that's at the same brightness filter. Again, I'm going to crank it up a 160. Now you look at this. It is also brighter. And this clip is also bright. And if I toggle this filter off, you can see that although the filter is blind to that threat, it applies to this clip as well. So we'll see him as this clip as well. One thing that will help you to see if there's any field applied to a threat is you have this icon here. Once you have that filter applied, you have this icon that shows you that filters has been applied to the trek. The reason you want to apply a filter to the tray is helps you to apply the effect to all the clips on a specific threat. If you have, say, adjusted the brightness of law, video clips individually. And then when you export, you find that it is still not bright enough. Rather than going back into individual clip to adjust the brightness again, you can just tweak it and add a filter here and adjust it by a little bit. Alright? This is particularly useful if you are having, say, audio. All right, let's say you have audio in different different cliffs have different audio, which you have already adjusted it. All right, and you're happy with it. However, on second round, after you more or less completed the project, you'll find that you still not loud enough or you went to do a final adjustment. You can come to the end at the GYN, for example, let me just remove this, Adding Audio Gain and volume to just tweak it a bit, maybe just a few more decibels for the entire threat so that everything just sounds a little bit louder rather than going into the individual clip to adjust it again. So next we're going to add a filter to the entire project. And to do that, you want to click on this output tap you. Now you can just color. Then you just do the same thing. And a window pops up to let you know whether you really want to feel distal all the clips. So if you want, you can click on yes. Just at the let's add the brightness again. Let's crank it up again. Now you see that even this head clip here is affected by this. That's all are adding filters to your individual clip. Do you attract and do the entire project? 21. Pan and Zoom Effect: In this video, I'll show you how to create a pan and zoom effect in a shortcut. And this we will cover boards, steady images as well as the video clips. And they work quite similar right? Now, first off, I'm going to do 14. They're still image, right? N, This is just a still image of some rice view or ISO. You can see this is a JPEG file. Now, to create a pan and zoom, what you want to do is to go to your filters at the size, position and routine filter. So right at the presets at the top here, they are actually several that you can choose from. And whether you want things like a slow zoom in and wholly at the bottom, slow zoom in wholly at that left. So let's try the slow zoom in and see what happens. All right, so let's move it to the beginning of the play head right at the beginning of the clip. And let's play this. So you can at least see the Zoom happening very, very slowly. This right at the center. Okay, so that is one way of doing it, right? And you can see that this has Zoom is happening very, very slow. Now I'm going to zoom out in a sense so that you can see this, this triangle is a zooms array. So you can see this moving. Okay? So you can actually see that. Okay, this is the outer box edit is add, zooming out off. Okay? Now if you go to the keyframe site, you'll notice that there's this huge triangle. And I saw this. He knows that the videos at least lowly zooming in. You can adjust this using this bubble over here. If you select this and move it to the left, what happened is that the Zoom or be zooming in a lot faster, okay? That this is moving faster. So that's how you adjust the speed of the Zoom, Okay, now this is based on using the presets. Let me just vector this image here. You can change the presets. Let's say, you want to say zoom in and hold it at the top. So what this does is the shortcut for zooming by the top border will not move. Alright? And I'm going to move it faster so you can see things better. Okay? So these are some other type of presets that are built-in. Ok, and you can try and whichever ones. Now of course, this is also part of our key framing, which allows us light of moving from one part of the screen to another. K in this case is sliding in from the water. I'm going to remove all this fuss. Okay, so that's the size position arrow tip. Now, another way you can actually do keyframes is that instead of using the presets, you went to, sort of do it yourself and you can actually be creative. Okay, so click on this clock yet to use keyframes spirometer. Now, straight away, it takes you to this keyframe tab and it creates a point here, okay? And at this point represents all this position, the position, the size, the Zoom grid. So this keyframe covers these three parameters. Okay? Now if you want to have a slight to another point, you're going to create a keyframe. Let's say you want to zoom into this particular point, for example, array CSR may here. So what you want to do is after you've move your playhead to this point, you want to add a keyframe. You can actually add a keyframe on, even if you don't add a keyframe and you okay, less. So what you want is two times are viewing you under Zuma and you had to sort of pull this. I did. Okay. And you want to move it slightly here? Let's make sure that sticks to their border. So you notice that a hearing manually, you are doing this and then increase it in size and location, right? And the less the size of this image as well, or your frame, and then the position. All right, so this is what it looks like, this right now. So you can actually determine when you want to have the Zoom. Okay. When you've got the zoom-in happened and where does the zoom into right? Now, in order to adjust the keyframes, you can actually select these. And if you move it to the left of B faster, you move it to the right end that you will take a longer time for that Zoom to take place. Okay? But one thing you had to be careful depending on the type of video or you don't want to sort of move this frame of n down. Otherwise it creates a funny kinds of pens and zooms, right? So in order to move from one play 1 to another of the keyframe here they use these arrows, okay? Say you went to adjust anything but a mixture that you are at this point before you make adjustments. Okay? Otherwise, let's say your play head is slightly off, okay? And you make some adjustments, okay? Like this. It creates a different key point, our keyframe, okay? And then you will start to have a video that does thinks that it doesn't look so good, all right, moves in different directions. Now you can actually use this to your advantage. If you really want to move, create things like this, you can make your video kind of shake k, So it depends on what you are after. So we can, all right, So it can create interesting effects yet, you just need to be careful where these keyframes and your play head is located. Okay? Now let's say you, this is a mistake and you wanted to kinda erase that. I click Enter DVDs. Oh, okay, this is going up, this is going down. This going down. So what you can do is you can actually remove all those. And you want to have a smart pen and zooming. So that's in terms of doing a still image, and it works the same for video clips as well. So I'm going back to that timeline. Go to my playlists here. And let's say I went to bring this clip onto a timeline. Okay, let me just use the section. Drag the timeline here that she has melted. Okay, So let's see from at this point here, I will do zoom into the deer and the middle of the frame. Okay, I can do that. All right. Go to size, position and rotate. Click on the keyframes K and M. You can actually just position anything that you want. Okay, so let's say you went to zoom into this deer in the center and less clothes places over here. And we just wanted to have a Zoom. Now one thing to take care off is that if your video is in high resolution, you want to curl the medial Zoom to a sudden. Patiently. I usually say that the percent or even 25 percent is good, right? Unless you don't mind the blocky, pixelated look like. So that's how you do that. And you can also change this keyframe parameter from the keyframe type rudder are from linear to smoke. Okay, so smooth. We'll walk something like an S curve. We will start off slow and then increase, accelerate the Zoom and then the kinds of slowdown in array. So this is the smooth zone. Linear would be linear. Okay? But that's how you create a pan and zoom in our shortcut. 22. Adding titles or text: In this video, I will show you how to add text or titles to your video, and I'm showing you the simplest way. In subsequent videos, I'll show you two other methods, how you can add text to your titles, to your video. Alright, so first year I'm going to add texts on title to this clip here. Need to do is to select the clip, go to your filters, got to add a filter and look for the texts filter right at the bottom. There are two texts filters. Why knees tax rich? The other one is texts simple. For this video, we will use the texts as simple filter. In the subsequent video, I'll show you how to use these texts, which filter? Click on Text, simple. And the window pops up and you see that there is a timecode debt. So if you play this and this number would change, this is basically showing the timecode of your video here that you can see. It will be the same as debt. You interchange. Just go to this text box here and highlight this and change it. Let's see. I'm gonna change it to an elephant. As you can see, the size is quite large. So there's a few things that you can adjust. So let's cover one by one. If you want to have any fuels, you can use that example. We have seen the sample or the timecode. Now you want to have the frame number. You can do that as well. If you instead that this will show the frame number where your play hit this at the moment, if you play the video, the frame number will change. So let's delete this. Next East the font. You can change the font color, select the font, and let's choose something easy to see. See you orange and within the color, there are other things that you can choose as well. Whether you wanted to have a lighter or darker color of the same orange, you can also change the transparency. This is the alpha channel. Alpha channel with a figure to 55 means this is a solid color. If you want to have this semi-transparent, you can change the alpha channel number to something less than 255, which will turn this text into something. Send me transparent. Let's go with say 200. You can see now that you can sort of see through the texts right now. Let's change it back to a full channel. That the color is solid. Rain. Next is the font that a default is Vedanta. You can change it to other things that you like. Let's say we were use Open Sans and of course the font-style and also the font size. If you choose a small phone size, you will notice that the font size doesn't change because of two reasons. Number one, we need to make sure that you use for in size. Then the formula will change through the font size on the screen. Now the other way, short-cut changes the size of the font is by resizing this window. How or what do the corners, top left or bottom left on the top right or the bottom right. You can actually resize this. To position this window. There's a point in the center, something like a circle. You can select this and position it anywhere that you want. You use font size again, the size we change base and it will really follow the font size. Unless the font is bigger than this box. Choose a huge font size, 220 will still be limited by this window over here. So one other thing is that the outline, if you want to get rid of the outline, measure the thickness is set to 0. However, the outline can also be used in a very nice manner to change your text. Select the outline color, change it to white. Crystal thickness has something like this. It can be a very nice effect as well. On top of that, you can have background color as well. And just blew. It will look something like this. I'm going to turn the padding of spirit. Let's get rid of it. So finally, you can adjust this texts. For example, if you are using a large window like this, you can position your texts to the left or the middle. Maybe you need to use one size, can be center in the bottom. Then you are using font-size. Be careful of the thickness it makes your text looks a little bit different. You may need to resize it to something smaller. That is, with regards to that tax, simple. One thing to note is that for texts asset, for this filter that is applied to the clip, texts was short for the entire length of that clip. Once it please, what are the other clip? The texts would actually disappear. In the next video, I will show you how to create tables or texts on another track so that you do not need to add titles on the individual clip basis. One other thing, there are some simple presets that you can use for your titles here. Let's say you want to create some movement. This is slightly in from left. If you select this paper will slightly unit from the left. This way. I do take note that has reset all these settings and you need to reset it again. You're going to say slow zoom out. You can try this. These are some basic movements in another section of shortcut whereby show you how to use our keyframes will show you how you should have greater control of your movements and for your titles and your texts. That's all for this simple filter shortcut. 23. Adding Text using Text:Rich: In this video, I will show you how to use the text rich filter. You add the title into your video. Clip selected. I'm going to click on filters and going to click on air filter. We will go to the text rich filter this time. This is the window that pops up. You may be a little bit hard to see, but over here there are menus right on the screen itself. So in mixed, typing our texts somewhat deliberate, easier. So let's pipe some texts over here. This is your texts on your titles. Here, you will see that there is the option to change it to bore. You. Click it. You'll notice that only one word change. What you want to do is to select all the words and I change it. There's also tools to change the italic or two underlying as well. I'm going to undo that. Next year is your fonts that you can choose. The default is medina. You can choose something else. And it will depend on the salt fonts on your computer. Let's click on. All right. This is fun, 72, so forth, this filter, the font follows the font size that you have set. So you're going to change the size. You need to double-click it, change it to smaller. You can also use the arrow up or down button over here. Then is the color. Click here to select the color. You can choose. Any color that you like, less juice, orange. You can see these oranges and some good. Let's change it back to white. Or you can also pick a screen color. So to pick a green Scholar, click on this and move your mouse to anywhere you like. Then you can move this down. Next is the alignment right now is aligned to the left. You can run it to the center, to the right, or even justify decided detail. And finally, this is a menu to heightened the toolbar. This is to unhide it again, click on the menu So you have all this. My resizing it also affects the window as well. To move the window, you can select the bubble or the circle right at the center. To do that. Here I have the same preset as well. Let's change it back to this way here. I'm going to change the color back to white. We can see things better. Let's move into the center here. It isn't changed to the right. They are pretest or move it as well. For example, you under slightly from the bottom. Let's play this. This isn't what it looks like. And I think not there. These are two will not show up when you export it. This one will just show as you are editing your video. But this is how you create that tax using the Rich Text Filter. So both the Rich Text Filter and texting biofilter is quite similar except that you adjust things on the screen here. You can actually see that texts as you type it onto the screen directly. That's all by using the text rich filter. 24. Create titles that fade: In this video, I will show you how to create a fading texts or titles in a shortcut. This method allows you to create titles. There are more flexible. Instead of creating them on an individual clip. The first thing that you want to do is to make sure that you have another video threat. Because the titles will be on a different video track, making sure that you have added the extra video thread you haven't done. So click on the menu here and go to try operations and add a video Trek. Next, what you wanted to do is to go to open other and you can click on texts and this box will open up. Let's type in something. Alright, so make sure your background color here is transparent. And then click on our key. Posit what you're seeing right now, this text or the title is in the source window. And you'll notice that this is using the text simple filter. So all these options here, similar to using the text simple filter on video clip. Now once you've done that, what you wanted to do now is to just drag this over onto the track. We will use threat V2 for this. And you can now see the title over your video. Alright, I'm going to bring more for the outline. And the same thing we're using font sizes. This one is still the same. You want to use bowl or not, it's up to you. So in that sense, this is similar to using the text simple filter placing on the clip. Let's change it to the middle. Now the advantage of doing titles this way is that allows you to create text for a certain section of your video clip. You don't have to a chop up your video clip to ensure that the texts happens on your phone certain section. If you apply a text filter to your clip, ensured that your entire clip will have debt texts. By doing it this way, you can adjust it how long you want your title DB, rather is two seconds, five seconds, all you want to spend the entire video project. You can also do that as well. This gives you greater flexibility. This way you don't have to create titles for each individual clip. All right, Now the next thing is that it allows you to create things like fits. And then I create a failure in over here, slightly clip. I'm going to add a filter. Feeding video. You will see something like this. Titles fitting. But you have to ensure that you use this adjust opacity instead of fibroblasts. Otherwise you have this gray, gray color. If you do this, it looks so much better. Another advantage is that you can do more things with this. Let's add another filter, size, position and rotate filter. You may have seen me in some of my videos lessons where the texts SAS to increase in size. Okay, let me do it this way. I'm just going to copy a partner here feeding titles. I'm moving it and put the grid on so that I can move the title right to the center, decides position, and rotate. What I can do is to make the texts slowly started to increase in size. I'm going to use key frames. So this, now I'm gonna show you, uh, briefly about using keyframes, but do check out the section on keyframes. I'll show you in greater detail how you do all this. Increase the size a bit better, the timeline height degree. This allows you to do all these things in creating titles. These are by using titles on a different video track that allows you greater control. Things like phi and theta. 25. Creating Drop Shadow: In this video, I will show you how to use the drop my shadow filter in shortcut. And this is available in shortcut 24.06 0.26. It is not available in earlier versions. So if you want to use this filter, please upgrade to a list this version of shortcut. Okay. Now, there are a few things that you need to keep in mind when you want to use the drop my shadow filter. Number one, your text filter has to be on a separate track, and you can't incorporate it directly into your video clip. For example, I have a image here. And I've added text onto this directly, okay? The text simple filter. So when I add the drop shadow filter, I've added the drop shadow filter, but when I make any changes, you notice that nothing changes for this, okay? So you have to keep that in mind. So let's go back to this section here where I have my text filter on a different video track, and this is just a background color. So that's what you have. So with that in mind, you want to add the filter to the top track. So click on add and add a drop shadow filter. As you can see, the drop shadow is behind the text. And if I make any changes, you see that the text will move, right? So that's how the However, you can create very interesting effect with this drop shadow because you can key frame it. So let's say for example, or we want the shadow to move somewhat like this, you can asset the key frame x and y. Or you can just do X is okay. So click on the clock icon to get the key frame set and move your play head further down. And you can move the text slightly and move this slightly. One thing about the drop shadow effect is that it's best if you use it subtly. All right. So make sure your key frames, either you can change it from linear or smooth, right, so that the movement will be smooth. Or you can also use or you can use some of the ease in and ease out curve to make it even more attractive. So you can also do the same for the blur as well. So that's how you get this effect in shortcut. 26. Add image overlay or watermark: In this video, I will show you how to put an image overlay onto your video in our shortcuts. And the reason you wanted to do that is perhaps you want to have a logo on your video and maybe kind of a watermark or some things that you wanted to show on screen to let your audience know that this video belongs to you. The first thing that you need to do is to have an image there is a PNG with a transparent background. I'm going to click on this, and this is what you are seeing in the source window. This is just a static image of a PNG. This layer here, the black background is actually transparent. And you have this triangle and circle and a few words. And I created this in a few minutes in Google Drawings. Alright, so I will show you at the end of this video, I briefly how you can do something similar to create the image overlay. You drag this image onto attract above, and I'm using tray V2. This image here is this position. Depending on the size of this image, you may need to adjust this. To adjust this hit on the word to your filters, you're going to add size, position, and rotate filter. This graph here shows the size of this transparent layer, which is 14401080. Alright, so there's a method too much for purposes we can adjust this. I'm going to resize it smaller. Next I'm going to select them subquery in the center and position it to wherever I want. Maybe we will put this over here. As you can see, only this part here is blocking the video. Everything else is transparent. And this is what it will look like. Of course, for this image, you can add other filters to it. Like for example, you want to add a film and video. You can do that. I need to make sure this is adjust opacity instead of fit the black. This is what you will look like. Very nice. It appears. Of course you can lengthen it. And we can also add a fade out video as well. So that's how you add an image overlay in shortcut. Now in terms of creating this image, there are certain graphics software that you can use to create this. But the simplest one is in Google drawings. This is an online tool. Go to your Google Drive and create new drawings. This is the Google Drawings. And you can actually see the checkerboard background. These are checkerboard background means that this layer is transparent. Of course, you can resize the app. I probably should have re-size this earlier on. When I download this layer will be smaller. So download this and make sure you download this as a PNG image. And then you can actually use a shortcut. Of course, you can also get somebody else to create this image as well. By the way, as a side note, please don't go looking for this emission. This is just a demo which I created in a few minutes. For the purpose of this tutorial. 27. Using Timeline Markers: In this video, we will cover timeline MCAS, and what are they, as well as how to use them. Now tell my markers are things that you can use to a MATLAB certain sections of your timeline. Okay, so I'm just going to mark it so that you can remind yourself whether you introduce certain things to that part of the video. Whether you undo, delete this at some texts, at some effects and add some notes, etc. Okay, so that yo can play your video much better, okay, rather than jumping straight into editing it. So there may be times when you see sudden part and you want to add something, but you may not have the information. You, for example, you may want to add a B-roll and you may dive into your hard-drive to look for video clip or maybe for sudden effects. And you may actually forget that is the point that you want to put something. Alright, so Tyler macros are things like reminders that you can create for yourself to put inside of things or do remove something from your video project. Okay? So to create a mock is very simple. You can just put them in a certain position. I click on this icon here on your timeline menu, and he creates a mako over here. Okay? And you can also click on M on your keyboard to create a marker. In this version of shortcut, which is shortcut version 21.1 to 0.24. There will be this extra menus, which is the MCA windows, as well as these few icons here. One of it is navigation and as well as this report, timeline markers, okay, which I'll explain as we go along. Okay. Now, with the Mockus, as you open this window over here, you can see something like this. Okay? Okay, let me close this and let me just close this as well as, as you click on it, it will actually jump to that timeline marker. Ok. And you can see the right. You can make a few changes to your markers. And for eyes open, you can click on the Here as well. And right-click to edit this. You can change the color. Let's change this to say green. Okay, so now you have a green marker. Right? Click on Okay, this will change color. Okay? Now, if you, you can also right-click and edit it this way and add some nodes. Okay, so Mach number one, you can see as a text. So this is one way. So when you click on here, you notice that this changes as well. Okay? So if you go to Mach number 2, you can also make the changes there instead of right-clicking and coming here to edit this, can come straight to this point and edit this and say Add effect. Okay, So this is a second way of doing that. Now, There's also something called a span marker. Let's create that. Click on em. Then press on your Control on your keyboard and then you can actually dragging your mouse or they create something called a span marker. Okay. So Spain, Michael spent a sudden timeframe. So you can actually move your playhead to deposition. Okay? You can actually move it today as well. And you can actually move your marker by selecting it and moving right to left by clicking and dragging it. Same with the other markers as well. Okay? Now, one thing that you can do with this tile markers, which are single Marcus is you can actually export it as chapters. If you go to your file, could export good markers as chapters. So when you export this y shortcut we'll do is we'll create a text file. Okay, So let's, let's go to video. We DO test like a simple text. Okay? So Charaka will create a text file, okay, And then you save it. You will create the information here, okay? This information MCA when at tags might get to et cetra. Okay. Let's go and look at the fall sample tests. These are the information that is exported, okay, with the time code as well. Alright? So if you are planning to use it on your YouTube channel, you can just copy this and paste it into your description or your YouTube channel or anywhere else so that your audience of where I was viewing your video can decide where they want to jump to that video. Okay, so this is in terms of exploiting the MCAS as our chapters right now with Spain markers, you can actually export this section here. Okay, So let's say you may have done some edits section of your videos. So let's see. You have done some EDIS over here to here. All right, and you went to a test, export this section and see how it looks like. You can go into your export tab. You cannot export from your source as well as from mocker. So this macro four refers to this point, to this point, okay? If you click on Export File, Chicago actually create this section of that video. Sample X bought K. You can see shock I creating the job here. So this is a section here. Okay? So this terms of exploiting from your span marker, okay, in this example there's only one spin MCA, so you will export from Mach number 4. However, if I create another one is exchanges to spend MCA. Now, this macro here can be exported as a video as well. All right, One final note. Ripple timeline edit my COVID edits. Now when this is turn on, your timeline markers will follow your clip below. Okay, so let's see. I'm going to remove some sections over here. Okay. I'm going to report the Lidice and notice that this and all these mockers will actually follow this clip. All right. See that? Columbia today. And if you have turn this one off, okay. And let me just repeat the same thing. I'm just going to ripple delete this. And notice now that the timeline markers and doesn't follow the clip below. So this is something to pay attention to. And I usually suggest that you turn this on so that it actually follows your clip. So that's all about using a timeline markers in a shortcut. 28. How to rotate media and video clips: In this video, I will show you how to rotate a video clip in shortcut, and I will show two ways to go about this. I have a clip here in the source window and you can see that this clip is rotated in a wrong way. This can happen if your camera or your smartphone is oriented in the wrong position. The easiest way to rotate it is actually to go into your Properties tab. And here, right at the bottom there is a rotation angle that you can choose. So let's go with 90, ICO. Select this, you will go to the right orientation, as you can see over here. So this is the first and the easiest way to go about this. Let me undo that. I'm going to change it back to 0 degrees. The second way is to use a filter which is the size position and rotate filter. By using the size, position and rotation gives you more options. For example, you do not want to turn your video or your media exactly 90 degrees or 270 degrees. I'm just going to mute the video clip fors. So this is the original clip. Go to Filters, go to filter size position and rotate it. You can change this here as well. Let's change it to 90 and it rotates as well. However, you'll note that this video clip, there's a few of the frame. So you need to adjust the zoom level to make sure it fills the frame. Somewhere around 174 in this instance. For your use, you may need to change it to a different percentage. Now, using this rotation here in the size position ROTC give you extra flexibility. For example, you may want to change it to say, 75% and for creative purposes rather than say 90 degrees or 180 degrees. So this gives you the edit flexibility vs, I'm changing it in the Properties tab over here. These are the two ways to rotate your clinic in a shortcut. 29. Adjust White Balance: In this video, I will show you how to use the white balance filter in shortcut to adjust the white balance of your video with a clip here on my timeline, what I would do is to add a filter. We will add the white balance filter. Search for it. It is here. There are two ways to adjust your white balance. Once is to use the color slider over here. And in a sense, this is the easiest way to go about it. You can slightly to the left hand warmer colors that you're seeing right now. Let me just mute click. You can even turn it until this scene. It looks at Ziff, there is a sunset. If you slide it to the right, you have more bluish, cooler colors. I'm going to revert this back to the norm. Now another way is to use the color picker tool here. Select the color picker, and then you move your mouse to somewhere where there is a neutral color like white. And you can highlight in a certain area. Don't be surprised if you get results like this, because it depends on what we see. For example, what we see here might be whiter, but in actual fact, you could have some tint there that is affecting that color. So the clocks looks the most neutral. So if you select something that we think is wide, but it's not really white, then you may affect their result. This is how you adjust your white balance in shortcut. 30. Adjust Brightness And Feel With Colour Grading: in this video, I will show you how to use the color grading, filter toe adjust your scenes that you have captured. And this is for scenes where you have certain places which are in the shadows, which seems a little bit dark. And you have some scenes, some sections which are blown. Now, I just want to let you know that sometimes this doesn't really work well, because it really depends on how well blown your video is on the sexual of the off your senior. So you may just want to give this a try and kind of experiment with this. Okay, So first, with a clip selected, you want to go to futures and and the color grading fielder. Now, the color greeting future have some effects that you can choose beside just color grading. Which means you kind of put a tin to it or, ah, credit effect, where they something looks like there's been cross process. Okay, let's try. Let's show you what I mean. Okay, so I hear the scene become more bluish. Okay, Maybe you want Teoh create a scene. There is perhaps showing a change of scene to say. I think Arctic issue right? Means yes, Cole. OK, so you can do that. So So that's what their purpose off the color grading feel the dust. But besides that, the color greeting future under here also allows you to adjust the brightness. Okay. And you are gonna adjust the brightness in three different sections. You can adjust it through the highlights, the meat tones as well as their shadows. OK, so for this scene, I'm gonna show you how to read you some of the brightness, and it depends on the clip that you have captured. I know that, right? So let's pull the brightness area down a little bit, and you can see that is kind off. Not as bright, but this one also affect some of the shadows. And so let's check and see whether it I just affected the shadows. Okay. So affected entire us frame on the clip. OK, so let's try to adjust the meat tones and raise back the meat tones of it. Okay. Is any effect. Okay, so there's a slight effect. So you noticed that this actually affects this quite a bit. And, uh, really, What you want is that when you capture video clip your camera. You want to not to have a situation where there is overblown because arrests that were blown Exactly. There's no details there for you to recover, Okay? And, um, he can make the clip look worse in some sense. So let's see. Let's check somewhere else. Okay, So, like, for example, the section of the clip here now we don't color grading. It looks more contrast C and looks good with this color included kinds off. In some ways it looks better, and in some ways it doesn't look as good. So really, you need to experiment with this and justice slightly, depending on the effect that you are trying to get. The best advice I can give you is actually to just eyeball it and see what works best. Use this to see whether the effect is a platform, not and see how it goes. Okay, so basically, you haven't thesis to that you can use and to try to salvage some of this shots that really doesn't look that good. So that's all about using this color grading filter to adjust the brightness and the shadows in your video clip 31. Create And Use Filter Sets: In this video, I will show you how to create and use a filter sets in shortcut. Normally when you apply filters, you select the clip that you want, go to filters and click on Edit Filter. And at your filter, we shortcut version 23.0 507. Now you have filters sets that allows you to apply a set of filters to that particular clip that you save time. There are three built-in default, one that you can use. These are the three I've created my own, which is called cartoon colors. Alright, so let me apply the filter and show you how it works. Now with my clip selected, I'm going to unselect, click on cartoon colors. And straightaway, these colors turn out like this. So within this set that I created, there is a brightness field though. There's a saturation contrast, and all from techno color. Okay, So how do you create this set of filters? So first, I'm going to select this section. Now what you do is to add your filter. So let's, let's create a duplicate of this cartoon colors. So I'm just going to do my video. I'm going to brightness. Okay. I'm going to apply a brightness and adjust it to the settings that you want. So next, let's create another one. Let's say this is saturation. And we're going to increase the saturation for this clip. Next, let's say contrast. Increase the contrast as well. And does add another filter. Say, well, let's look for something that's related to color, your hair or flim technicolor. Okay. So again, I'm going to adjust this. You can adjust this more or less depending on what our so-called cartoon effect. So now I've created this individually one by one. And next, what you want to do is click on Copy filters. Now you want to save it as a set, then you need to give it a name. So I'm just going to call it cartoon this too. Okay? Now, if you do not give it a name, then it wouldn't be safe dataset. So just hit on. Okay. So now you have codon cholesterol, you have created a set. Now, if I want to apply this filter to this section of the video clip, all you have to do is add a filter, go to your sets, and now you see this cartoon colors to select this and a set of filters will be applied. You can still adjust the individual colors if you want to, okay, for your needs. That way you can apply the same set of filters to multiple clips on your timeline. Alright? So if you want to delete a set, let's go back to, go to filters. Could add a filter. You can go to right-click. Let's say I'm going to delete this. I'm going to right-click and delete it. Okay, So this is deleted. Alright? So that's how you create and use filter sets in shortcut. 32. Create Picture-in-Picture (PiP) Effect: In this video, I want to show you how to do became picture using shortcut. So I will show you two ways to go about. And one is a very, very simple way. You may even have figured it out yourself. The arrowhead is actually a little bit more interesting and less nice trade-in. I'll show you the simple way for us. So first of all, what I'm gonna do is just connect, drag a clip onto my timeline here. And I'm just going to mute it for the purpose of this video. Now for picture-in-picture, you need a minimum of two video tracks. So I'm just going to add a video track here, Okay, and on track V2. So next I'm going to drag this clip into my timeline. Okay? So I'm just going to drag this over here. Okay, and extend this. And just for the purpose of this video, also mute this array. So what you're seeing right now is this track on track V2, okay? If I hide the top tray by, you will see is the bottom and the traffic, okay? Now at the simplest form, picture in picture is all you have to do is to add a size and position plus rotate filter. And then you just resize your video. The top video, what you have is actually a picture in picture, okay? So this is valuable. Look like a picture playing in another picture. So this is actually the picture-in-picture at its most basic form. Now if you want to make something a little bit more interesting, it may require some planning for your shots. Okay, so I have some other clips here on my playlist. So let me just drag this down. Now another way is to do something like this. Now I'm using a still image, but it works with other video as well. All right, so I'm going to use this as well. I can drag this down again. And I can use the size, position and Raw Filter to do so a K. But you may see some issues with this. Now have a TV screen, which is a photo at the bottom here. And I want to fit this into the screen. Okay? So now if my TV at the back is perfectly lined up, I can actually do that, right? So you see advisor picture-in-picture effect. However, the TV isn't really properly lined up. I can do some form of adjustment to adjust the rotation. That you noticed that actually decent isn't really square, right? So if I show the grid lines, let us look at the grid lines here. Let's go. You'll notice that this thing isn't square k. If you look at Asia to hear the camera, that top-left picture is unreleased squared up. So let's turn off the grid lines here. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to remove the size, position and rotate filter. And instead I will use this other fields that call the corner pin filter. Okay? All right, so this is a Corner Pin filter. Now let me just zoom out so you can see. So the corners pin filter have this corner pins that you can adjust. So what do you, I'm going to do is to hover over the corner PDD, select this and drag this in to feed the screen, okay? And then I'm going to drag carnitine them to fit the screen. So basically what it does instead, the Corner Pin filter allows you to as skewed entire image of the video. Okay, so somewhere here. Let's pull this over here. And then a zoom-in vector 50. Okay? Adjust this a bit more. Okay? Basically you have, say, a TV or something that you can see the edges properly. You can actually align this properly. Okay? To make this image skew slightly, okay. Feed them, right, so let's play this. Now. You can also adjust these percentages here and may require you to zoom in Mosul. For example, you can actually look at this corner by corner to make sure that you've got all the corners. Perfect and k, So you can zoom in and adjust this corner more. K. So this k plus justice here. I noticed that sometimes when I zoom in it does change the carnitine. So you may need to redo it when you scale a zoom into the image to set this. Okay? So less is a mountain here. All right, so let's just play this. Right? So this is a different kind of picture-in-picture using the Corner Pin filter. Now you want to create something even more interesting. We can do that and we're going to create something that looks like an inception effect. What I'm gonna do now is to add another video track. Okay, so now we have three video tracks. Now basically I'm just going to use this, this short clip over here. All right, one that I have actually here, pre-trip. Okay, so drag this down. Over here. I'm going to put this screen inside here. Okay? I'm just going to use by the same click, Copy it, place it on the tree on top. Another one for the top kit as well. Okay, so I'm going to write the threatening. I'm a tree for the time being. Let's hide this. I'm going to walk on this click for us. Okay? So we're going to use the Corner Pin filter. I'm going to position it to fit a laptop. Okay. Let's check in and see. So is still as I get off, that, I'm just gonna do this quickly so that you can see this, right? So next, I'm going to turn on the train them of each tree. And this time the image will fit this screen, this laptop, okay? So select that clip. I'm going to unhide. This contains the filters. This is again the corner pin filter. This time. It's going to fill into the screen over here. Let me zoom in. Zoom to 100 percent, and I just this small k and then let me just zoom back to fit. So you have something like Inception effect, okay, But basically is a picture in picture, in a picture in picture in a picture. So that's how you create a picture in picture using shortcut. And we use two filters when it's just a size position and rotate filter. And the other one is the Corner Pin filter. Have finally, this effect is actually quite interesting. 33. Create Split Screen Effect: In this video, I'll show you how to do a split screen, a viola, what you are seeing on the screen here right now, you have a video on the left and then a video on there, right? And then you also have a vertical bar there is white in color. So let's dive straight into the screen and see how we can get this done. The first thing that you have to do is to have three video tracks. All right, so the bottom track here, we're going to put a color there and we just got to open other and open a color. And I'm going to choose the white color. You can choose any color that you prefer. Let's say for example, you just want to choose orange. All right, let's do something different and choose orange and less. Drag this down onto tribe. Even. So the color here will be used as the dividing frame between different videos. Okay, now I have some videos on the playlist here, lesser. Let me just drag this down. Okay, So for this video, I'm just going to put it onto track V2 and k. So this is the video is a scene of a car. Ok, and let's mesh this back to this length here. Okay? So the first thing that you want to do is to select your screen that you want to show. Like for example, this video here, there's a lot of empty space here that wouldn't be interesting for all the work, right? So the interesting thing will actually be the truck or card is moving up. Okay, so what we're gonna do is to pick a filter. And I'm going to get a filters which is a size position and rotate filter. And what I wanna do is going to move this side, okay? And you're kind of requires you to do a little bit of planning and seeing the video that you want, okay, you have to visualize that this is the part of the video that you want. Now if, for example, if they say this, the waves here, it looks nicer and you want to use the wave then probably you may want to crop it all the way or move your video all the way to the side to show the waves. Okay, for this video, I want to show the castle. I'm going to put it somewhere here. Okay? And you kinda want to adjust this based on the position that you're using, the size position filter to that position that you want it to be. Okay, we can see adjusted a little bit later, but lesser policies or mirror on here. Okay? You want to have some visual effects are right, So follows a road, discard lines is leading to the eye, which is quite nice. Okay, so I'm just going to leave you here. And for the vertical position here, this position here, you need to be somewhere around 0 so that there wouldn't be any lines at the bottom. Okay? So this one should be a 0. Now next like one to do is to add another filter, and this time we will add a mask. Okay? We're going to use the mask, simply ship. And then what you want to do is increase the height of the mass. Can we only see the video from the top to the bottom are reduced or softness because we want a sharp h k and then I just horizontal, okay? So somewhere here, and you want to increase the width. Okay? Now the idea is actually to crop up or the height is part of that video does the path towards the center. You can try this. Now, one thing that is very useful is that you can also use the guidelines to help you, okay, So this is the guidelines and I'm going to choose a two-by-two grid. So the center point will be somewhere here. I want to make a tin orange line between the frames. So let's do this. Let's increase the width a bit. You can also type in the figure lesson. Let's just type in the figure. See whether it is. It should be more accurate, less than 0.5426. Okay, So it looks good. So now it depends on where you want to place this line, whether you want it to be thicker or thinner so that it would be your left side is done. Let's move on to the right side now. Okay? Now, I've actually picked up this video of weak bonding. Okay? This is modeling video is kind of long, much longer, so one somewhere around here. Now I've actually preview the video earlier so I know the section that I want is towards the end here. So I'm just going to drag this down onto the top now. Okay, Let's say M1, this part here. So it's quite important for you to choose the right video. Soda in your video looks interesting. Okay, let's go, let's go with this for the purpose of this tutorial, select the clip. Let's go back to the filters. Now this time we want to put a mass M for the mass elemental mass, simply shape, do the similar thing. And you'll notice that every time that mass comes out, the shape is like this. Square in the center. So I'm going to reduce the softness, increase the height. So the height will be maximum because you went to want it to be the full height of that video. So this perimeter isn't that important. Then what you want to do is to increase the width. And then next you want to adjust your horizontal parameters to be somewhere like this. Let's increase the width. And let's hide this angry. Okay? So now you have something like this. Okay? Now you notice that the video here isn't so interesting at the beginning in the sense that this person is a hidden line in between. So I'm going to do is to adjust this more to the center. Okay? We want the person who is suffering here or kitesurfing the b in the center. So I'm going to add a size, position and rotate filter for this track here. And then I am going to move this. Okay, I need to adjust my mask. Okay. It looks pretty good. And there's a few things that I want to highlight over here. So number one is that for the clip on a track V2, the size and position filter is on top and the mass simple shape is at a, is a second filter. Now if you add, if you move the mouse around, you will actually get something very different. Case, I'm just going to move the size, position or filter down and you end up with something very different. Okay? So you have to pay attention to that. Similar to the triangle on top as well. The simple shape is on top. The supposition filter is at the bottom, okay, for my situation over here. Okay? So I hope that you enjoyed this technique of creating this split screen in a shortcut. 34. Mirror Effect: In this video, I'll show you how to use the mirror effect in a shortcut. So I have a clip here on my timeline, and this is just a clip of me speaking. So when you want to do a mirror effect, one of the things he had to pay attention to is the position then sitting. So in this case, I more or less did it by a half, right? Half the screen. So this is one of the things that you may want to pay attention to, right? So you can create interesting effect even though the position or sitting perfectly. But that's a different kind of mirror effect. So anyway, I have this section here on my track, any stray in order to create the mirror effect. And you actually need another video track. So I'm just going to add another video track. And I'm going to duplicate this track here. So I'm just going to use Control C on my keyboard. I'm going to click on the Home key to make sure my play heads right at the beginning and just enter this. All right, So this is the track exactly at the bottom and at the top. If I were to hide the top tray, I think changes because it's exactly the same thing. All right, So select the clip that you want. So click on your filters. For the mirror effect. Select that. Straight away. You have the mirror effect. Okay, now how do you make sure to how do you ensure that you see what's at the bottom? This is where you need to add a mask. Okay, so I'm going to add a mask and less simple shape. Okay? So the mass is over here, right? First, you need to increase the height, reduced the softness, whether you use a softness in this case, but it depends on what you want to do. Source subtypes, you may need to have a softer mass, okay? And I am going to increase the width. Okay? So in this case, I want to have a perfect mirror array, the Shouldice matching. So it looks exactly as if it is a mirror. So you may need to adjust this from the percentage by five, tree 4. Okay. During the fall, looks about right. And if you really want to ensure that your mirror it right in the middle, you can actually Paul go greet line. Okay. Let's toggle the two-by-two. Okay, so exactly the same, right. So desk how you create the mirror effect with that. Now let me show you a different one and less Kobe, go to the site and open another file that you can actually create a different kind of mirror effect. This looks like interesting. Okay, so I'm going to place this on to my track here. Okay? Places same straight-line basis here as well. The same exact trick. Less just ensure that it is matching exactly. Again, we will add mirror filter. So this is exactly the same. And then what you want to do is we can to mask it. There's another way you can do as well, which is likely to use the crop filter by both ways work just as well. And this insert, let me show you how to use the crop filter to do the same effect as well. Can do the crop rectangle and less crop the top. Again, click on that transparent, and then you have the mirror effect. This is more interesting array in this case there's movement. So that's how you create the mirror effect in the shortcut. And I hope you had fun with this. 35. Hide or censor items with mask: In this video, I will show you how to hide something or blank off something from the video. For example, you may want to hide T-Shirt or a logo, or you may even want to hike somebody's face. And this is one method to do it. There's another method in another lesson. Do check that out as well using the mosaic mass. This is the video, Let's say I want to hide this logo here. This method uses one single thread and then we're going to create the color to hike that logo and the ****. The first thing is to go to open other, open a color. And I'm going to choose the color black because on dark color because it is very close to the T-shaped. And I'm gonna change this Alpha channel to 255 to make it a solid color. Click on Okay. And then Okay, again, this is the solid black. Drag this down onto track V2 on the track above. I'm going to stretch it out for the entire video clip where I'm going to mute the track V1. Then next, what we will do is to go to filters and going to add the mosque. You will just add a mask I simple shape. Default is a rectangle. So now it's just a matter of adjusting this rectangle to ship. Now for the Shift, you can select whether you want a rectangle or a leaves. This will be the two most closest one, we will leave it as a rectangle. The first thing I'm gonna do is to lower the mass now. And to do that, you go to your vertical and I'm moving it to the right. So data masks covers it up. Next you may want to move it horizontally. We are actually pretty close. Let's widen this and you use the width. The height. The image that you want to block is static and the camera doesn't move, you are basically done. However, if the person moves, then we have some extra work to do. And we can go to show you how you can key frame so that this black color here moves across the screen. Let's see. Ranks are somewhere here. I bend forward and then move to the right. We need to keyframe the mass somewhere here. Now it is pretty simple to do, but we will do is to turn on the keyframe for the horizontal parameters. I'm going to do that now. Then. Also the vertical. Now I can actually key frame extra as well. So let's go back to the timeline first. Here the mass moves. And you used a market. So the, I know this is the market. And then just to let me just remind me, where is the position of the things that move? Somewhere here, somewhere around here, I need to start creating debt keyframe. I'm going to just move them up, go here. Now let's go back over to the keyframes. Let's set a keyframe for the horizontal, as well as the vertical. I was zooming to the keyframe timeline. Let's move it to the right. Somewhere here is where the position of this is the lowest. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to move the mass vertical position down. At the same time, I will move the horizontal to the left. Let's check this out. Guys following me here, I need to move the mass to the horizontal. So let's create another keyframe. Now you don't have to create a keyframe manually if you change any of these parameters, for example, in changing the horizontal parameter, the keyframe will automatically be created. Here. See the words. This keyframe is incorrect. I will have to delete this. And to delete this, just click on this to delete this. Let's try this position here. This position should be low as well. Here, Masha and move up a bit. You get the idea is a matter of adjusting mass position. That's about it. Now there are ways to make it simpler as well. You can also make a larger mass to cover their logo and then you don't have to adjust it so much. This is how you must have something in shortcut. 36. Create a mosaic blur: In this video, I will show you a different way to blue as height something from a shirt off on your face. And this time we will use the mosaic filter on this clip here. There's a color grading filter applied. Don't worry about this. This doesn't effect. The effect is just a turns this video a little bit brighter. Having said that, the first step you want to do is to select the clip. And what we will do is we walk, copy this video clip, and then edit to the above. This is the exact clip that you're seeing top and bottom. Next, what we will do is we will add the mosaic filter. Filter. Go to video and social mosaic. You see something like this. Once the filter is applied to make the blocks smaller, you can reduce the rate and the height so that it looks a little bit smaller in size, and in some cases is a little bit better with the mosaic filter light. Next, what we will do is to look for a mass. We will apply a mask, and we will use the mask simple shape. You can see the Moscow Mayor around here. The next step is a method of moving the mass to the position key. So let us move on, clicked somewhere here. Let's move the horizontal position of this to the right. Move this down. You can see the mosaic doing his work. We will need to widen. This. May mean to increase the highest well, if your object is aesthetic, for example, a logo on a building and your camera doesn't move, then you are done. However, in this case, I moved in a frame. You can see the word comes up. You will need to adjust this using the keyframes feature. Let's go back to somewhere here. What I'm looking for is the point right before I start moving somewhere here, let us go back two frames. I will use the horizontal keyframe as well, less than a typical keyframe. And you'll see that the tap now at the window now is in the key frames tab. I'm going to zoom in so that I can see things a bit better. So less than moving this forward. So somewhere here I need to make the change horizontal as well as the vertical. Let's move forward a few frames. Now if the movement is linear is much easier to do, you can just do two points and you are done. However, I selected this video, showed that you can see is a little bit more challenging. Again. Let's move this to the right. Let's test it out and see this bit here. In case I went to adjust the height, I can adjust the spec or we can leave it as it is as well. There you have it. How to blur using the mass simple shape as well, less than mosaic filter. 37. How to create Chromakey or greenscreen videos: In this video, we will look at how to create chroma key or green screen or even blue screen effect. So the correct term is, of course, chroma key. So what I have here on my clip is actually, yes, I've missed any in front of a blue screen. Okay, you can use the same form green screen. So what you want to do is to select the clip and then go to your filters tab. At a filter, go and look for the chroma, simple order chroma advance. Now I suggest that you try the chroma simple first because that's the filter is much easier to use with less adjustment. And in many cases the simple filter works just as well. All right, so select a simple filter. And here the data here, very few options of what you want is to actually select the color key. Okay? Now, since this is a blue screen and discrete isn't really a fixed or a professional color. What we want to use is to use the color picker. If you're using a green screen, this purposely built for the green screen or chroma key. You can actually select this. So I'm going to select the color picker, and I'm going to select a section of the screen somewhere here. Okay? So nothing happens yet, basically because you are supposed to have something at a track below, okay, now you can actually do that later, and we'll do that later. But first, what we want to do is to add another filter which is called the alpha channel view. Okay? So alpha channel will allows you to see how well is your chroma key going on. And I'm going to select a white background because mocks as if you're placing a white Greg Brown on the track V1 below, okay? So you can see that the chroma key is doing quite well. All right? And you can do some adjustment, okay? With a distance. So deci kilo, new one adjustment here. All right. And if you lower the adjustment, you see this blue screens are to come back up. If you make it too high, then the person starts to disappear. Okay. So you went to kinda adjust the Somewhere around here are where you are to see the color spill is if isn't that strong yet, all the blue has been removed. Okay, now my screen here isn't really a very professional screen. You can see there are ducks, dark spots n. This is a screen that has been hacked together, okay, but yet it still works quite well. So some may something like this is actually quite good. What you want is to kinda see and see whether there's any color spill. And notice the sum or here the edges, which if you zoom in, you can see clearer. Okay, There's only to a 100 percent. You can see the edges over here. Okay? It's not too bad really. But if you really want to adjust this, we can adjust it. Okay, let's go back to zoom to fit. And to adjust it, you can add another filter called the alpha channel and just click on that and make sure the alpha channel I just filter is above comes for us from the alpha channel. We'll, all right, otherwise you can't see very well. Okay? So there are some modes that you can adjust under this Alpha chain. Adjust one of it is to shrink, to shave. Basically what you want is to shave off some of these colors, bill, okay, Let's zoom in to a 100 percent. Okay? So let me turn off the Alpha chain, adjust. Okay, you see that the line is more distinct once it's turned on, is shifted a bit lucky. And you also have to check a few places, not just any one particular part of your body or any object that you're trying to, uh, Drew chroma key. So let's remove this. So you notice that the hand has also shrunk a bit. So you have to adjust this so that you don't shrink too much. All right? And our paradigm shift too much and they're icky, other modes as well, where the string ha, okay, so here it become very jaggedy k. Let's move on to another place or SQL docs quietly or cry. Okay, so here it looks too much jaggedy. So shrink hat definitely is not. So you want to kind of adjust to see which one suits your particular video demos. So I find for me, shape actually works quite well. And you can actually adjust this shift among, Okay? Now, basically there's a body for the chroma key. Simple. Let's assume that out the Zoom Fit. Now what you want to do next is to play something under this tray, okay? Okay, I'm going to open a file. Let's open this one here. Let's use this one. Okay, That's the highway. And I drag this down on the tray V1. Now I can actually use a photo or even a still image. Okay, to do that, I'm just going to turn off the sound here and then turn off your Alpha channel view. Alright, so there you have it. All right, It's actually quite simple to use. And what you can do is also to make this smaller. Okay, so let's go back to the filter. You can also add a size position and rotate. It gets smaller as well. Okay. So to then I would have you have something like a spokesman kind of video. All right. So you can do that. And now you can also have a different clip here. Okay, let me go and open another file. And let's do this. I'm going to bring this down here. Okay, so if I have a transition, so the video actually a transition. Okay? So you can do all those kinds of things. But the key thing is to ensure that your your chroma key is done as well as possible. Okay, so that's all about creating a chroma key using the simple filter. 38. Adding Text Behind Moving Objects: In this video, I will show you how to place at texts behind and moving object. In this case, I'm going to place texts behind me. Notice there my head mostly ignore the rest of the filters here. First, I have this same clip plays on to video tracks, track V1 and V3. I'm going to hide that top layer so you can see that the same video. The next type is called the master hit. I'm going to use the blacks. They may mask. Click on New to create a new mask file I'm going to call it lacks limitation opened up. We will need to mask this. You can use and draw freehand or the draw bezier. I'm also going to feel down so that I can see better way I mask. I'm going to select somewhere here. Now because I've been opacity down, you can see that I can see true this mass as I go over here. And we have done the first part, Let's go back to select less safeties. Next, we will turn on the recorder to record function, which is actually keyframes in flux limit. So next we're going to move this further down and keeping an eye on this mass as well as the face as it moves. Okay, so there is some slight movement. So I'm going to adjust this. Here. The ear moves a little bit. So I'm going to turn on edit to edit the points. Okay, let's go further down. Move the mass slightly. Move further down. Adjust the mass. We're back to Edit and so on and so forth. The idea is to make sure that as my hand moves, the mass moves with it. Once you are done, you're going to hit the record button again and it will stop recording keyframes. Save this habit or word to shortcut. You may want to save this as well. I'm just going to slightly, but the most important thing is to hit reload. This layer two is where we will add text. When other select Text. Click on Okay. Post this, select the center. Move this up. Smaller. Attendance, fun to black color. And drag this down onto a track, V2. You can see the mass taken effect. Now. I'm just going to move in. And the reason why it is semi-transparent is because we need to go back to black stomach, turn this back onto 100% safe. Go back to shortcut, go back to this mass here. Reload. And you have debt. I'm just going to keyframe the text. Select keyframe. Then it moved my texts on my here. Move this over. So let's play this. Hope you enjoyed this tutorial until that next time, Bye-bye. 39. Create Glitch Effects for video and titles: In this video, I will show you how to create a glitch effect shortcut. I will click here on the timeline. What we will do is to add a filter to it. It's very simple code. Your filters stamp could add a filter and search for glitch. There are four things you can adjust in this glitch filter. Let's just play it to see how it looks like. You'll notice that the blocks are pretty big, then the frequency is quite dramatic. What I'm gonna do is our lower the frequency and smell is lower that block height, however, it depends on you, what you would like in your video. Okay, so let's take a look. Actually, a lot more pleasing to the eye. The frequency refers to how often this is shifting. Of course, the block height shows how large are the blocks. Shift in density talks about whether you're, how intense is the Schiff going to be like? Then the last one is the color intensity. The more intense you have more dramatic color changes over there. I'm going to dial this back a bit. And this is what it looks like. One of the great things about this filter here is that he also has key frames. You can actually adjust this English or the frequencies that block height, etc, as a function of time. Let's turn on the frequency. I'm just going to use frequency as well as shift in density. However, you may turn on more if you prefer. This is the key frame stamp. When you turn on key frames where your play head is located, the key frames will be set. So let's play this or you can actually just move the play head to another position. Make changes to the frequency. Let us say you went to increase the frequency. Checkout automatically creates a keyframe over here. You can see as I play this, this figure will change and it goes along. The frequency becomes stronger and stronger. You can also change the shift in density to be stronger as well. You can reduce it, but again, this is a glitch or video. You can also do a glitch over your text. Now I've created a simple text over here. It is just texts. The simple filter. We will apply the glitch filter as well. So again, Clear Filter, the glitch. And this is what it looks like for the default. Pretty strong. You can reduce this to get the effect that you like. Similarly, you can also do the keyframes for this effect and get something pretty interesting. All right, on top of that, you can add things like fade in and fade out for your texts. So that becomes even more dramatic. That's how you create a glitch in our shortcut. 40. Create An Animated Line On A Map : In this video, I will show you how to create an animated or a moving line across the map like what you are seeing. And this effect is actually made popular by movies like Indiana Jones right? Now. In order to do this effect, there are actually some preparations to do n Of course first you need to get a map and I'm going to just use Google Maps and take a screen grab of this map. And I'm just going to use a software course, NAEP and sketch, which is built into Windows. There are other software that can do this as well. So you're not limited to this. So by if you're on Windows, then you can use this, right? So I'm just going to create this map from say here to here screenshot. So next I'm going to just save this map, and I'm gonna save this, and we'll call this the original map. And I, you know, in a Chihuahua I call this original map. So once you are done, you can actually close this map. So next, I'm going to just use Microsoft Paint, but you can use either form of simple graphics editing tool as well. So I feel that Microsoft paganism simplest for what we are going to do. So we're going to open the file that we created on the snapshot that we created earlier on this map over here. Now, you can use different kinds of software, doesn't matter. So we're just going to draw a line from here to somewhere in Sarawak here. So first of all you need to do is to select the line. I'm going to select a straight line. That's the most easiest one to do. However, if you want to have a curved line, you can do that as well. So I'm just going to select this line here. And then I'm selecting this size and then choose a color. I'm going to choose our orange. Alright, so next I am just going to use my mouse and I draw a line starting from Kuala Lumpur and draw an orange line two somewhere here in sorrow on, okay? And that's it on the safeties. Save as a PNG. And I am going to call this S map with line. Okay? And then we are done with Microsoft Paint. So next we will go into shortcut that's opened up playlists. And I'm just going to go and grab the two images may be lying and map original. And let's put it into the playlist. Ok. So we will need to video tracks for this effect to work. First, I'm gonna drag the original map on to track v1, and I'm going to just stretch it out a bit longer. Next, I'm going to drag the map with the line onto track P2 and I matched it to the length of the mapping tripped v1. This the images now, now if I were to hide this, you will see the map at the bottom. Alright, so that's how he works. Next, what we're gonna do is to go to the filters and we will use the mask effect to slowly review this line. Okay? So less with the track selected, click on Add, go to search for mask n, we will use a simple mass. Okay? Now straight away you can see that now the mass is somewhere in the middle. That's why you see the line over here. Okay? Now, you need to keyframe this, but before that, let's try to adjust its mass or they will end up somewhere at left behind the line. So there are a few things that you can adjust. Of course, one is the width Nigeria just a week, you'll get longer and longer. Ok, so we need to adjust the location as well because the mass is in a wrong position. So we will use this horizontal to move it to the left. Okay, so now the mass is still there. Okay? So it is minus and we will definitely need to key frame this as well. So let's see, let's move this down a bit and let's change this 11 to know as the location of the mass. Extend this. Okay, so this is the location of it. All right. Let's just use the vertical by unit I justice, based on the location of your map, veo mass will start. Okay? So let's say that we want to study somewhere here. You will key frame the horizontal and keyframe the vertical as well because it kinda move down a little bit. As well as keyframe the width n, Maybe the even, the height as well. Okay, Just standby. All right, next we're gonna move the playhead to where your video ends or read a line shows up. Okay, and then we will need to adjust these fingers here. And of course we need to adjust the width. Okay, so I suggest as for a line, if it's going to horizontal, less suggests adjusting the width plus there will be the best. Ok? So as you can see here, some here I'll certainly to adjust the height as well. Expand the height and then again the width as well, okay? Depending on the US, you may need to adjust the horizontal by in my case, this is seemed I need to adjust the position, but let's just stand a little bit, as well as the vertical side. And then the line ends over here. Okay? So let's play this. Okay, so there you have it. That's how you create an animator lying or an effect that seems as if you are drawing a line or your screen using shot cut. 41. 3 Dimension "Star Wars" Style Text Scroll: In this video, I will show you how to do a Star Wars style scrolling text credit then looks something like a 3D effect you see in Star Wars. Are we this version of shortcuts? You can now create this effect and we will go straight into the screen her, I know. Okay, so the first thing that you want to do is to do open ardor and open apolar. And what we're gonna do is actually to create a text phis. And we are going to use this method to create that text. Okay? So we the colour, open color transparent, drag it down onto your timeline here. And I'm going to drag this to adjust a timeline to say somewhere around, let's say about ten seconds, but you can use it however long you want. Okay? Now the next is to go to your field test tab here and click on texts. Or you can either use enrich text filter or a simple textual data. Both of these works, I'm going to use the rich TextField, okay, and this is the filter. And I'm just going to type in something onto the screen. I'm just going to wilted aside here and change the size of the text is a little bit too big and it's a little hard to see, but you can actually equal to the text size here. And I will set it to say something around 48 K. Let me just our justice window down so that the menu goes up on the top. Now you moved the box here in the menu work legal up so it's easier to look at things and adjust them. Alright, so let's get back to this. Again. I'm going to just centered at text by clicking on this one here, centered at Text menu. And I will change the color. I don't know one to have a latch font. Now to adjust the color, to click on this text color and we'll choose something yellow just to show that ease that have debt, Star Wars effect. And let me just type in a little bit long, some of these things longer so they can see this more, greater detail later on. Ok. Now once that's done, what you want to do is to click on the grid k by opening the grid. And we will use this greet here. Toggled greet display. And I will use the four by four grid. Now the reason why I want to use the greedy so that these texts can be centered. Once you have done clickbait onto that track here. Okay, I'll go back to filters and a track. And in a text filter are why we want to do is to turn on the keyframes. All right? And I first I will use the move my play head somewhere here, then turn on the keyframes parameters. And then what you want to do is go over to the text over here. How will your mouse right to the center and drag this text down. Okay, so this will be the starting position of that text, okay? And somewhere here we will move the playhead to twist the n. And then we need to move the text up. Now because now that the text is move kinda move off screen. While you need to do is to click on the zoom and zoom on 10%. Then what you want is to move this up, okay? And with a great, you can actually maintain the center point. Okay? So if you don't have to agree, it would be hard to maintain the center point. That text or exile somewhere here would be good. Okay, you can zoom in, say 50, 50% percent is to be ok. So what you want is to maintain so that this is at the center, right? And you can see this dilemma. Just go back to zoom fit. You can move your playhead to the beginning of this Tressie to check whether this is moving. And once you play, you want to look at the position of this. You do know once this parameter to change, okay? This perimeters changing slowly, so it is not exactly, are moving straight up. So does not want me want, so not to rectify that. You want to do is to select this fussier. So you remember this is position one to seven. Or you can do is we are going to remove this, remove this key frame, and then we can click on the keyframe, add a keyframe again. But we're going to change this to one to seven directly in the, in this box here. Okay? Now their way when you play will move up politically and not kind of have a wavy line. Alright? So this is the first part is done. Now. The next part that you want to do now is to go back to the timeline first. Next, go back to the filters tab and look for corner pin. Okay, and apply the corner pin effect. Okay? And then what you want is to move your text somewhere here of a vector beginning. You can actually move it to the center. You will notice, okay, let me just zoom out a bit. And the 25, you'll notice now that this fall buttons here. Now this allows you to adjust the corner pins, right? So what you want to do is to hover over this pin here, and then you enter move this. Okay? And you can see that the text is skewed, right? And you move this here and attacks and skewed. Okay, I am going to adjust this user more, smaller grep and move this further. Now you can actually add justice to the effect that you want to create a change in perspective so that it looks as if it is a 3D or three-dimension. So let's go back and test this out. Removed agreed, by clicking on this button here. And then click on zoom fit. And we can see how this moves less playlists. Okay, so towards the top here it doesn't look so well. So what you want to do is to adjust it a little bit more. Now let's go back and turn on the green toggle degree. Move somewhere here. And then what happens is you'll notice that this point here isn't low enough. Okay, so we're going to adjust the Klonopin lower. And you connect you to adjust these to the effect that you like. Okay? So basically that's how you create a schooling texts effect or the scrolling star was tax effect in shortcut. And you, all you need to do is use the text field and the condor pin filter. 42. Time Remapping And Speed Ramping: This video shows you how the USDA time remap filter in a shortcut to create interesting effects like this. This filter is pretty fast so you can do slow motion and even a reverse motion we filter. So let's go into the screen here right now. Now I have a clip here on my timeline, and this is just a normal clip and there are some booting vehicles on the road. As you can see, you can filter to create movement like this. Let's see how this is done. So the first thing that you want to do is to select the clip and go to your filters tab, and then go to add a filter and look for the time remap. So you can solve for it using that search bar and look for the time remap filter. So here you have your time here, and then there is the speed. So this shows you the eggs or the speed atom of the clip at this moment. And the direction is this forward, and this is the time. Okay, So we haven't done anything yet. So what you want to do is go to the keyframes tab and click on the keyframes Tab to go over to here. Now, if your keyframes tab is an open, what you need to do is to click on the top and to open up these keyframes k. So here you see a line that goes from the bottom left to the top right. And the slope of this line shows that video clip is actually playing at a normal speed, okay? Now what you want to do is to add some key frames and then you can actually have some fun with this. Now, if you make this line a horizontal line on this, I'm gonna do right now. I tried to make this line as horizontal as possible. Okay. So when the line is horizontal, it means that your desk no movement in the clip. Okay? And the less the slope. And you can actually see here or a dystopia is shows that he has been frozen. So now you actually have a someday like a feast, a freeze-frame effect. Okay. Let me just slow it down a bit so you get the idea and you get a freeze-frame. Now if the slope is downward, then you can see that the direction is reversed. So now the clip is actually a reversed. Okay? So I'm going to undo that and make this back to the slope here right now. Okay? And what I'm gonna do is to add some key frames. Okay, so first I'm going to add a keyframe here. Okay? I'm gonna do something called us, in a sense, Cosby ramping. Okay, so I'm just going to add another keyframe over here. Okay? Now for this section of the clip is playing at almost approximately the one x, okay? Now, if you want to create a spear RAM, but I want to do is to increase the slope over this section. Okay, so I'm going to push the keyframe up. So what happens now is that this section, it is actually playing a two by eight times the normal speed. Okay, So I'm just loading a bit. So 2.7 times. Alright, so here is something like a speed ramp, okay? So the video clip is speeded up. Okay. And then once it hits here is slows down, Jim. All right, so if you have able to meet this, okay, in this section and this section, the same speed. So you have the ram effect. Okay? So here is 0.7 by 76 and Edison's 0.65. Okay, so let's change the slope of it. Here is the SP ramp and you have an effect like this. Right? Now you want to create a reverse effect. I'm going to show you how to do that. I'm going to add another keyframe here. And this time I'm going to drag it down. All right? And somehow this section now is playing in reverse where you have an effect like this. Okay? Now you can actually move this closer or further depending on how fast you want that effect to change. Or in this case, we are changing direction back and forth. So you can have this kind of effect. All right? For this effect to work the best you need to have quite significant motion that hangs off, catches the eye. So you can have something like this. Okay. And wouldn't back to the timeline. And I want to show you something here. And this is another example of a clip that will work well for this kind of effect rack. Now you've probably seen this in the video where you see some region of the body and then the kinds of reverse. Let's go over here and add the filter at a time repair filter and go to the keyframes again. All right, so here you want to kind of as time this array. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to reverse the effect once the person hits in the water, okay? And some, uh, here on n and a keyframe. So now we're going to reverse this. So let's see how the DDO place is, how you create interesting videos using the time and renal function. Now this is pretty new feature and this is using a shortcut version, 21.05.01, okay? And have fun n I experimented with this. 43. Single color effect: In this video, I'll show you how to create a video where you have a single color on the screen that what you are seeing right now. To create this effect is pretty simple. All you have to do is to select the clip that you want, go to your filters, temp, got to add a filter and chromo whole filter. Select this. And some of the colors are removed. To select the color that you want to keep. Click on the color picker here and go to your screen where you want the color to remain. You can actually make a box like this. If it doesn't work so well, you can actually select again. Now one of the reasons why this happens is that when you select a certain area of your screen may look blue, but there could be some other colors there, right, for example, may have some yellow, yellow or some green that affects this. You do not get the color that you want while you have to do is just to re-select that. This is the effect that you'll get in. All the colors are removed except blue. There you can see over here. Distance here allows you to adjust the amount of color that you want to keep. For example, if you reduce it and you'll see that this blue will remain smaller and smaller on a patch. Smaller pattern remains. If you increase the distance, more of the other color would return. So if for example, you see here the Haar has some blue tones there, and that is why the color starts to show up. Okay, let me undo that. So this cassia actually reflecting the sky. So when you have that blue comes up again for a certain signs as well. For example, the sidebar that we're here has some form of green and green hair, some combination of blue. So that comes up as well. So do take note on there. I'm going to zoom out. If you want to select different color, for example, you went to that brown color, read me and he said The blue, that changes the scene altogether for this filter, there is also keyframes for this parameter. So you can actually make something quite interesting with this. Let's select the keyframe parameter that we are in the key frames window, you can make some changes. Let's say we want the color to slowly turn into this. You will use the keyframe at this level. I'm going to hit back to this point here. I'm gonna change this to a higher level. There most of the colors are back and you will have an effect like this as you play the video. You can also do this in reverse, where you add another key frame and then the color would return as well. Your colors will be blue and then the colors were slowly written. Alright, that's all about this chromo WHO filter in shortcut. 44. Create thumbnails from video: In this video, I will show you how to export a frame from shortcut. There are two ways you can export a frame. You can export a frame from your source, as well as from your project. I'm gonna show you how to do from the source window first. Let's say this is the frame that you want to export from this video clip, or you have to do is go to File, go to Export and Export frame. I'm going to save it here and the video test. I'm just going to call it the evening sky. You can choose whether you want to save it as a PNG or JPEG. Usually I just save it as a PNG. Alright, so just click on save, and you would have actually saved that file. Let's look for it. Test. This is the one evening sky. So you click on it. This is the evening sky. This image will actually follow the resolution of your original video clip. This is 1 ninth to 0 by 10 is 0. Let's get back into a shortcut here. You can also do the same with the project. If you have done your project and you went to export a frame, you can do the same. Just ensure that your play head move to the position that you want that frame. Let's say this is the one that you want. Go to File, go to Export and Export frame. This time we're going to call it an ester camo. Let's go back to the folder here, and this is the frame. This is the Campbell. Once you have exported the frame, you can actually bring it back into a shortcut if you want. The reason you may want to do that, include using it as a static image for the beginning of your video. Or you can also use it as a thumbnail for your videos, bread for YouTube or four elsewhere. That's all above. Exploiting a frame in a shortcut. 45. Create Gradient Effect: this video will show you how to use the Grady in filter in a short cut. So for soft like to keep that you want to add a filter and we're going to look for the Grady in filter. And you can also just type of here. Yeah, ingredient filter. And it opens up like this. And the first thing that you want to check out exactly the blood mood and you change the blend mode. You can see that they are some changes. Hey, Celeste. Changes to the scream. Then you will have see the effect off this filter. And there are other adjustments that you can make us well. But best first, take a look at a leader. And what is this? A lying over here now? This life or here allows you to adjust the string somewhat the strength off this filter. Okay, so this is one way you adjusting it so as you draw it down, this is the white pat and this white part. Harry, first of the color here and it's dark section recover. Our refers to the stock partner with the bottle. Okay, so at the beginning, it is Look, something like this all right with other Ben Morts. Then you get to see a different kind of effect. So you can actually experiment with this to see what the fact that you really want. Okay, lets stay soft light, okay. And sometimes the effect looks pretty nice or pretty A G depending on what you are after life, right? Them. But this difference here really looks strange. Okay? And let's go and try, Say, Hugh. All right, so all these have in effect, the blame has an effect on this filter. So that's the first thing. And the second thing is actually, let me switch it back to the screen. Look, Okay. The other options, you can use me. The filter number one is this. No, at the moment is linear. You can also change it to radio. So when you change the radio, basically what you see something like a circle and that you face occurring at this circle. Okay? And I read it is radio or linear. You can also expand this box here to see what's happening and the changes that affect again . Thank you. So let me just show you if I change this back to none, okay? So here you will see very clearly that one section on the screen here is white. And this white refers to the color on the left side here. And dot refers to a site under on the right bottom. Right. Okay. So if I were to close this box, you see that the lying that that party said the bottom and the light bodies at the top. Okay. And as you open it up, it starts to behave more like angle. And you can also change this perimeter to say horizontal. Okay, so then you figure someone changed again. Well, you're one side that is bright in the Adisa. Is Doc okay? We'll change it back to the default first, and let's go back to over. Let's go back to the screen so you can see things that really be better. So now you have a good idea what's happening here. Okay? And you can make adjustments like this if you want the effect to be lesser. You can kind of move this over, and so you can see that this flight is brighter. So that's how you see that. Grady in. Okay, let me turn it off. Okay, so This is a dark pot and a greedy allows you toe like incident pot. Now, besides that, you can change the color and to change the color. You just click on the color bar here and let's change, unless true something that would be really show orangey and click on OK. And see you see the orange and you can actually create some nice effects. Aziz, if you're having a sunset kind of effect, All right. And it's pretty nice once you test it and adjusted to your liking. Now, besides adjusting this, you can also use a radio like this. So maybe you can put it at the corner here as well. So don't like making it like like flare sort of effect can do that. Oh, if you want to do something straight away like this, you can also position in that way. Okay. And again, you can know. So I just gave me this affect here at the blend modes. Okay, so here, now you have a blend more that's like that. Okay, so now it's very small. Okay, maybe you want to make the but go radioactive for laser or something like that. You can do that. Okay, so are you Need to do is to try it out. And of course, the colors. Okay. Earlier on the show you one side, you can choose the other color as well. So, in contrast, let me choose colors a green. Okay. And then you see this color affects this week. Okay? Of course. You can choose the color to be have a lesser effect. More transparent than the color Wouldn't be so strong. Say, Mr Oranges. Well, you go to the Alfa off. Our refers to the transparency off the color to 55 is almost solid. So if you go for, like, the colors, 800 0 is fully transparent. Okay, by the way, hundreds of lesser so you can actually have a lesson effect. Okay, so that's how you actually use this. Grady Infielder in shot cut 46. Adjusting Vibrance For Effects: In this video, I will show you how to use the vibrant filter in a shortcut. This filter is available in a shortcut version 24.06 0.26. It is not available in prior versions. So if you are planning to use this filter, please upgrade to this latest version in order to be able to use this. I have a clip here, and this is a clip of a scenery. You can see it is just a normal scene. And let's add a filter, select the filter, add the filter and select the vibrant filter. I already marked it in my favorites, but you can just search for it here as well by typing in VIV, vibrance and add it onto your timeline. Okay. So for this clip, I am going to make the skies blue, so I'm just going to increase the blue of this filter. And there are four settings that you can change. One is the intensity, red, green, and blue. Now, you notice that when I change the blue or increase the intensity for the blue, nothing changes. And the change will only really take effect if you increase the intensity. Okay. So let's change it slightly. All right. So now we just a few percentage of blue and the intensity at six, you can see the blue is quite significant. If I turn off this filter, this is the sky now, they turn it on, it is like this. So you can use it subtly or you can also use it distinctively by increasing the intensity or the amount of a certain color that you want. So you can really look blue. Now, if you make some other changes, for example, say increase the green as well. So the blue can really get out of hand. So but be careful when you are using this filter. Right? With the vibrant filter as well, you can key frame it, so you can actually create very nice effects from this. So let's say at the beginning of this clip, add a key frame for the intensity, as well as say the green and the blue. And when we go to key frames, you can see that the key frames has been added over here. And let's just move the clip further around here and add key frames for this as well. I'm going to do it somewhat in reverse because here the intensity has already been set at seven. So let's go back to the beginning and reduce the intensity. In essence, we are sort of desaturated this clip, and when we play it, the image will become more saturated and more color. So you can use this as well. And the difference between this filter and the saturation filter is that the saturation filter allows you to just control the saturation of all the colors, whereas the vibrant filter allows you to control individual red green blue. So that's how you use this vibrance filter in shortcut. 47. Stabilize shaky video: In this video, I will show you how to stabilize shaky clip in shortcut, this is a clip that I've recorded and this is a Caribbean Studies handheld turn on the grid so that you can see the ball or the things that are moving. You'll notice that it is ever moving just a little bit so we can actually stabilize these. Do take note that this life you would not work if you have jarring movements are things that are moved to suddenly or their large movements on the screen. So with that said, let's get started. Select the clip, go to your filters, go to add a filter law for stabilize. And there's a few options for you to choose from. The default is the shakiness is four and accuracy is for you can actually adjust this as well as the Among Us Zoom. Do take note that when you are trying to stabilize, you'll be nucleic. What you're trying to do is to make a smaller frame here or others have a zoom in or crop in. Debt will cut off some parts of your videos. All right, otherwise it's impossible to stabilize that video. Let's go with the default and click on Analyze for a shortcut to analyze that clip. Now a window will pop up and ask you to save a file. So this is where shot covered, at least stiff, they're stabilized results. This is a dot or dot step file, so let's call it the sample stabilize. Number one. You can see the shortcut is doing the analysis depending on the length of your clip, as well as your computer's CPU power. This may be quite fast or it may take a while. We analyze. Let's try and see. And we need to adjust the zoom in. Let us say we are gonna zoom in five per cent. Play this and see where there is smooth down a bit. You'll notice the relationship between the center point and this has stabilized a bit. Now, if you have ten, this off, the video is moving up a lot more. Really stand on. The clip is stabilize quite a fair bit. Now if you went to adjust the smoothing more, you can increase this. Alright, zooming on cropping more so that you will notice that this even less. Now if you really want to eliminate the movement at all, may need to increase this. Let's do this. S6 and accuracy S6 increase this. You can choose to see different figure. It doesn't have to be the exact amount. You have to analyze this in a second time. I'm going to create a second file here. You can see quite a lot of the movement has been eliminated. If you have a very long clip and the accidents sections where the movement isn't too bad. You may want to split the clip and analyze one section. Alright, so this would actually speed up the analysis of your video clip. Rather than have Ashoka analyze that long video clip that may take a lot of time. Alright, that's all about stabilizing shaky clips with shortcut. 48. Animated Cinematic Crop: In this video, I'll show you how to create a cinematic crop, like what is happening on the screen right now. You can create some nice effects. Let's get started. Now we go clips selected. You need to do is to add a filter and crop filter. We used a crop rectangle, a filter here, and a square comes up. In order for this effect to work, you need to use the keyframes function. So what I'm gonna do is to turn on the keyframes function over here. Click on this parameters, and we are taken to the keyframes panel. And this is the original video with the original size and position. Okay, so let's say somewhere around here, we want the loss to come in. Or why we need to do now is to adjust this frame. And you can do it by going to the top or to the bottom and resizing it. Why do you need to do is to make sure that this comes down. I'm going to turn on the grep function here to make sure that the center point remains at the center. With the grid function turned on. It is quite simple. And the mixture you're stepping is turned on. They sent those snip to the intersection of these two lines. Let's see how it looks like. Let's play this less than the grid line off. This is what it looks like. Pretty simple effect. Now if you wanted to do the reverse, you can do the same as well. The key frame. So this is the key frame. And showing the disposition. Toward the end of the video, you can just put another keyframe and revert all these back to the default. That's how you create a cinematic crop in shortcut. 49. Circle Crop for intro, outtro or even transitions: In this video, I will show you how to create an opening crop like what you're seeing on the screen right now. These users, this crop circle filter, these require effective if you went to highlight something or your viewers right at the beginning of your video. And there is something interesting right at the middle of your frame. Select the clip that you want to apply this so-called crop. Go to your filters called the other filter and search for your crop filter. Select the circle. The default radius is 50%, and this radius refers to the radius of this circle on the screen right now. You can increase and decrease it. You can also select the color of this circle. Now if you change the color, you will need to have a different video tray. And this tray have to be on the track above. And I will show you what I mean later on. First off, you want to create this opening effect in a position your playhead, where you want your circle to start. Next, click on the keyframes parameter. Right at the beginning. I'm gonna change this all the way to 0. This is the key frame at 0%. And then you want to move this forward. Let's say we were moving forward to about 1 second and we change the radius to a 100%. Let's try. This. May be better if we salivate faster as well. And let's move it forward so that you will be faster. I still wanted to be at a 100%. Now I changed this with a different location. That's why our shortcut created this keyframe. This is not what I wanted to do. So since my playhead was in the wrong position when I'm changing this parameter, I will delete this. What I will do is to use this to move back to the previous keyframe. So there are two things I can do. I can select this and push it all the way up to a 100%. Or I can change the figure here. Okay, Let's start it again. This is one way to use this crop circle filter. Of course I can do the reverse here. You add the keyframe here, and then move your play head forward. And let's say you went to revert this back to 0, sort of closing a seed. This effect is quite useful if you want to open a scene and then towards the end of your clip or your video, you use it to close the clip. You can also do this as a transition as well. So let's bring in another clip. I would do the reverse. Open a file. Let's see, I will just use this here. Go back to my timeline. Drag this now to my timeline here. Crop filter. Exactly what I've done. Let's position here. Go to crop. The crop circle started a keyframe. At the beginning of this clip. Again, it's 0 and approximately say 1 second later. Change the oddest 100%. Now, look something like this. I should split this clip. This is one way to use this circle crop filter, more or less an opening. Then as I transition somewhere here, next I want to show you about changing the color of this and how it affects your so-called Chrome. I'm going to add a video track. Next, I will move this clip up. I will make a copy of this entire video clip and place it onto the track below. Since I copied this, this one will also have the filter. Now for the trip below, I do not want the crop filter effect. I'm going to remove it. So what you're seeing now is a crop, the top. Now let me change the color. Let's use orange color or red color. I'm going to change the Alpha channel to something that is semi transparency around a 120. Now, see, now you can see that this crop person color over here. What you're seeing right now is from the top clip is the circle. If I hide the bottom clip, then you won't see this. Although this is supposed to be transparent, because there is no video clip. You will see, if there is a video clip at the bottom, then you will see this effect over here. These are a few ways you can use the crop circle filter in shortcut. 50. Motion Tracking: In this video, I'll show you how to use the motion tracking field, the shortcut, the motion tracking filter is available in shortcut version 23.05, 0.07. You won't be available in prior versions right? Now, motion tracking takes quite a lot of resource. If you have a long trip, like what I'm having here, about 30 s, I just want a certain section to track. Then even be a good idea to split the clip now so that you're only asking the motion tracker to track certain section. So I'm just going to track this section between the front and the back end somewhere around here. I select the clip that you want to track. Go to Filters, go to Edit Filters. Go to motion. Motion tracker. Next, you will see something like this. So what you want to do is to position this rectangle to the part that you want to try to attract. Skiers, hit. Okay, so I'm positioning. You can change the size of this rectangle by going to the corner or to the top and the bottom to extend it as necessary places or main center. Alright, now once it's done, you can click on Analyze. There are several algorithms you can use to track this. I found that I just used the default, which is channel and spatial reliability, and I usually just do that. However, if your track of fail for instance, then you can try some of these. Okay, so next, click on Analyze and shortcut. We will analyze this clip. You will take a few seconds, depending on the length of your clip as well as on your computer as well. So that took about 20 s and let's play this and see whether the tracker is working well. So you can see that the green rectangle is following the lady's head. So you know that this tracker is working well. And this is where the Show Preview is. This is a key that green rectangle. The motion tracker doesn't do anything. You need to attach another filter onto this motion tracker. And the name of this tracker is tracker one. Okay, so next I'm going to add some texts and you will know what I mean. So let's look at Text Symbol, tax simple filter. Okay. Resize the text somewhere around here. Okay. Scroll down to your texts, filter and click on Load keyframes from motion tracker. This is motion tracker one because there's only one here. You can just select this. Next. You want to tell the motion tracker, or rather you want to tell the text to follow a which position where there is a relative position on offset position. So I'm going to use the relative position and click on apply, which means the texts relative to this motion tracker. Let's see how it goes. You can see that the text is following the person very well. Now you want to change the position. You need to load the motion tracker again. Click on relative position, change this, and click on Apply again. So you can try and see which one is the best one that works for you. So absolute movies right onto that lesson. Now you can also attach other filters as well. I'm just going to hide the text simple filter. Let's add another filter. And I'm going to use this set of filters which is obscuring mosaic as well. So let's say, for instance, now, I want to change this and hide the person's face. Positioning somewhere like this. So I can use change this to say, okay, we can just leave you change a shift to her lips. Okay? So this is using the set of mass just now, which consists of a mass membership, the mosaic and also the mass apply. So again, take a load keyframes from motion tracker. Just use Tracker one. And in this case you can just use the absolute position and apply. And motion tracker works very well. Okay? So there are several other filters they can use with this motion tracker. And sometimes for some reason, when you click on Load key frames for motion tracker, it doesn't work. So somehow even though you keep the motion tracker, but you notice either the texts or any of these filter doesn't so-called stick to this track. What you can do is to save your file, exit from shortcut and restart, and it will work. Alright, so that's how you use the motion tracking feature in shortcut. 51. Recording Voiceover with Shotcut: In this video, I will show you how to record a voice over using shortcut. So over here, I have a clip on my track V1. And let's say I want to record a voice over for this clip over here, which is a scene in KL CC, right? So the first thing that you need to do is to go to open other and click on audio video device. So let's select that. And then here you have the option of video input and audio input. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to turn off my video input. Because if I leave it on, it's just gonna switch on my webcam. And for the audio inputs, I am going to leave this as my microphone. So depending on what microphone that you have, no, maybe it's your billion into your laptop or maybe even a microphone from your HD webcam. Okay, so I'm gonna select the microphone for my webcam key and click on OK. All right, so as you can see, the audio peak meter starts to jump, which means it's actually picking up my voice and ready. Okay, now, next, why you need to do is go to your exports tab and click on export. And then what you want to do is to look for the audio and the Audio tab, select mp3, okay? And you can actually start capture though. However, if you want to take a look at the one step, there are some things that you may want to look at. So you can check that it is a hero's recording from the sauce form. You can actually ignore video because the video codec is disable. Alright, audio is using two channels. The codec is lip mp3 dot lame. Economically I just assembled or if you prefer, as well as the bit rate, okay? Now for example, you may want to recall constant b ray if you want to have better quality. Okay, so I'm just going to leave it as a rich be red. And you'll notice that this button now is wall capture. Okay, so I'm going to click on capture. And shortcut does requires you to save this. Okay, so I'm just going to put this as a voiceover sample. And as if okay. So now what you need to do is click on Projects tab and you can actually play this clip and then an a rate. So this is the section where I am going to narrated. So here I am at Cal CC and this is the Twin Towers, that's the Petronas Twin Tower. There is an iconic, there is a bridge for this two towers, right? It is all metal and glass. And at the bottom part there are some pine trees. So that's the end of my narration. So what I'm gonna do now is I'm going to click on stop capture. Right. Now, the phylogeny starts playing. So let me see if I could hear it. So now what you need to do is click on Projects tab. Now when you listen to the clip, you realized that it actually our aquatic way earlier. So Lord, clever, probably be starting somewhere here, so that's lay dead. And above minister bottom part there are some pine trees. Alright. So what you need to do is to listen to this clip and trim it here to here. And then once you're alright, you can actually just drag this down, okay, before we drag this down. But you want to do is to add audio track. You can actually drag the audio track down and have your voiceover below. So let's listen to this. And it's an iconic, and there is a breach followed this. Two colors. Alright, in this all metal and glass and other domestic bottom part, there are some pine trees. All right, so that's the end of my probably I need to adjust this further. Alright, and then that would be it. Now of course you need to adjust this further. Probably her retrieved this. Let me do that. So here I am at Cal CC and this is the Twin Towers, that's the Petronas Twin Tower. There is an iconic and there is a bridge for this. Okay, so this is how you record a voiceover with shortcut. 52. Audio Spectrum Visualization Effect: In this video, I will show you how to use the audio spectrum visualization filter to create some nice, interesting effect. And this effect can be used in various ways. Maybe you just want to jazz up your videos a bit, or maybe you have a Malian audio attract that you want to pause the video onto social media or to YouTube so your video won't be so boring and it has something that is sort of moving on the screen right. Now we, they said I had this music on my track, any sun track V2, and this is HLA A7 video track, okay, although this is mp3, right? So I'll just let you take a few moments to listen to each for short segment. So this is the music. To use the audio spectrum visualizations like the clip go to Filters, go to add a filter and search for audio. You can type in audio and you will find this audio spectrum visualization. Now this filter is actually under the video tab because it's actually a visual effect and that is the reason why I have to use it on video track. I'm just going to add again and volume and turn down the volume so you can actually hear me talking. Now because I need to play the music for it to see the bus jumping up and down. Okay, so let's see this in action. Okay? So the default is actually just a line that is jumping up and it is one color. So let me just pause this for us. Now, there are actually two types of spectrum visualization. You can choose lying or you can choose a bar, right? And you can choose the color. Now the line allows you to have certain options like for example, mirror or fill. All right, so let's go with a line for us. And I'm going to increase the thickness to say, six pixels so that you can see things a bit better. All right, and let's go down one by one to change the spectrum color. Click on this bar here, and you can actually select any color that you want. You can also pick a screen color. I'm going to pick something rate so data is easier to see. Okay? So this is what it looks like. Okay? Then if you want to choose Fill, then you have something like this. If fills up the space below, be underneath the line, alright? You want it to be mirror. This is what it looks like. Pretty interesting, okay. And reversing and Mirrlees flips this from the front to the back. And k, which means the low-end frequencies will be on the right side and the higher frequencies is on the left side. Okay, So this is talking about reversing the spectrum. Okay? Now when it comes to tensions and bends, I think the boss would be easier to see this in action. So I'm just going to go back to eBay and to the default. Okay, so now I'm going to change this to the bar. And bar looks something like this. Okay? Again, if the candidate has changed, I've changed the color. If you want more than one color, you can change this, increase it to 234 as many as you want. Okay? And here will be the higher frequencies, lifts M, here would be the lower frequencies. All right, so let's say I want to have a cool color for my lower frequencies. Blue. Second one, click on OK. For the green one, click on this and swell. Put a green. Maybe this green looks better. Click on this. I'm going to change it to yellow. And then finally read, okay, So now they have four colors. Let's play this. So you can actually see that. Okay, So the editing is that you can also choose the background color. I'm not gonna do that. I think this is pretty easy to do. And of course you can actually move this to the position that you want to. You can actually put it in water or the corners or resize this as well. So you have a small one at a corner and you can do that. Alright, so next, let's go with so fill and fill this. They really make any difference for bars. Mirror make some changes as well. So you can actually use this for say, a podcast, right? You can actually place it over something. Okay, for example. That's good to hear. I see you and to put it under podcasts, okay, and turn this into a video. So that way, when you export this video, people can see, okay, you will have this as your background. And you can play this, something like this. All right? And this is just an image that I created in Canva. You can actually create this image from any kind of graphical software. And I do not have any podcasts, so please don't go searching for a podcast by James. All right. So this is the background. I'm going to turn it off for us. Okay? And K back over to this filter of the spectrum filter. Now let me explain the tension. No tension. Now, if you kill. And do that. Now, tension is how fast the Basque stay up, okay? Now, if I increased attention to a higher value and notice that the boss goes down quickly, okay, Seems like it as if it is like gravity at the elisa are working on them. Whereas if you have a low tension is instead the bath isn't as kinda stay up much longer. All right, so this is when it comes to attention, the convected a default. Now the bins shows how many beds they are. So right now the default is 31, so you can actually count the upper D1 over here. If you increase it. You can see there's a lot more Ben's, a lot more bars, right? And finally, low-frequency talks about, and what frequency that these bars are stat and high frequencies has the maximum high-frequency. So you can actually change this. Now you raised a low-frequency. For instance, this music, no more bass exists, okay? So you have to have a low enough frequency for them to show up. Otherwise there's nothing there. So most of the time we should just leave it there. Unless you have some audio which is extremely low-frequency or extremely high frequency, then you may want to adjust all sort of filter. Okay? So you can do that. Finally, the threshold is and how law before the music's, before the boss has to jump. You. You said that threshold too high, you'll be filtering or almost everything. Okay? So eventually levy around there. And that's basically it. Now, you can actually mix some interesting effects, like for example, putting another filter like the size, position and rotate filter. Let's say you want to rotate this to another, we can rotate this 90 degrees. And then you would have something like this. And you can, let me just remove this for us. Now, there's also another filter that you can use, which is the 360 degrees. Our transform filter. That is actually a very interesting field, but you put it on to an effect like this. It gets very, very differently. So we are at the 360 transform filter. Okay? If you change the pitch by changing the your is just moving left and right. Let me go back to the default. Changing the pitch or do something quite nice actually. Okay, you to hear him. Nice effect. In fact, you can actually create a light show just from the music loan. Okay, and let me just do it yet. It comes like this, okay, Lesser refer back to that default deposit. Now you go with a row. It will look like something like this. And the great thing about this is that this tree under 60 transformed degree has some keyframes, right? So you really can go crazy with this, okay? So I'm going to revert all this fuss, okay, so you can have something that starts out like this. Let's put a keyframe for these two parameters. Okay? So we are now at a keyframe tail. So this is how the music is playing, how the spectrum looks like. So let's say we change the pitch to something like this, right? And then you can change it even more. Okay, let me just say, let's not do all this. I'm just going to remove the peach fuzz. Let me redo this. Okay, So this is the row k. Let's add a pitch. Go back to normal for us. Change the pitch to something like this. So you can actually create a light show in this case. And they're less, A12 are changing more and so on and so forth even changed the role. So you can have all that. All right, so this all about the audio spectrum visualization filter in a shortcut. 53. Exporting your video: In this video, we'll take a look at exploiting your videos with short cut in order to export a video from shortcuts. But you need to do is to click on the Export tab. If you're Export window isn't open. So I'm just going to click on that. And you open up this tab over here at the bottom, right. So this is another default. They are, okay. Now there are some presets over here and it could be sort of partially hidden. So what you want to do is to hover between your preview window here and the Export window. And you can actually move it to the right to create some space so they can see things a little bit better, right? So let's scroll up. Now. We hear there are bunch of stop reassess that you can use. For example, things like even give animation hashtag 260 for things like YouTube. And there are also some, there are actually some older formats, for example, camcorders and et cetera, okay. Things like stills and for legacy as well and form. All right, so we're gonna focus mainly on this era here. And if you're not quite sure, Misha format to use the stiffest one is actually to just choose the YouTube one, because this is actually a quite a commonly used format for video and you should be able to play on your computer, on YouTube, many other video hosting site as well. You can modify some of the options, which is what we're gonna do. Okay? Now the first thing is you can actually export from your timeline. You can export from your playlist, each playlist item as well as from the sauce. Now, usually we will actually export from the timeline, which means this is all the edits that you have done. But just for your information, you can also edit things from your playlist. So for example, I have just three video clips over here. So if I were to export, save from the playlist, shortcut will do is there a shortcut would create a video by making this tree are video clips into one single video. Alright? So you do have the option if you want to create that. And besides just video, you can actually put in, say, 10 images. And the key shortcut can create a video from images just like that. Okay? So of course, you can also export each playlists item as well as from the source. Now if you are to export the source means shortcut will actually export whatever's on the screen here at the moment. So there's nothing over here. You have to be careful therefore, when you choose this, and usually we would just use export from that timeline. You can also export from the macro as well. And this is making use of timeline macros, which you see here. So this gives you the child's just export a section of your videos on the timeline. In order to use timeline markers, you have to first click on this icon here, which is the market, and then use the control key to stretch out a section. If you go to the export tab, it gives you the option to export from the markers as well. However, do check out the video on using timeline markers to understand more about using this Anti-Climacus. Next are you have these hardware encoder. If you want to choose, highway encoder means you instruct shortcut to use some of your more CPU resources. You can click that. And if it's 10 on, then if you go to the configure, some of these options are checked depending on your computer. Using hardware encoder may result in a faster edit, and sometimes it could be even a little bit slower. So you can actually test this on. I do take note that when you use hardware encoder here, the codec here, okay, Let's cancel this, the codec here by be different. Okay, lifo in mice case it uses this hashtag 264 envies and see, alright, so if I turn this off, then you will be under different codec. Okay? So let's go back to video. These are all for the time being. So under YouTube you can actually select your video resolution. This is full HD at 10, 20 by 1080 pixel, right? So this is the full HD resolution. So if you have a smaller video, then you may want to change the resolution to the appropriate ones. And this is the aspect ratio, okay, 16, 19, which is for white screen. If your video is larger, then you need to adjust this to a larger resolution. If it's smaller than you need to adjust it to a smaller one. Okay? And the next thing is actually the frame rate or the frames per second. Now the best thing is if you didn't change your frame rate, if you use the origin of frame rates of the video clip that you have recorded. Like for example, for my video here, for my camera in my region is the frame rate is 29.970. For my video, I'm going to usually keep this as dead. Okay? So this is my frame rate for this video as well. So for your region, it might be different. Tried to stick to it so that your video resolution as you export the video will be the best, okay? And it also has to do with your settings here when you set your video mode. The original clips from your camera is at say, 25 frames per second. Then you want to satisfy your video project settings as well as for your export settings as well. Okay, scanner or you can leave it as progressive that the interlaced. Now usually I choose the best one. And then lastly is the interpolation. Interpolation, I use a link, those I think lenses and which is the best quality. And this is actually useful, for example, when you scale into your video when you do some key framings. So where there's an interpolation of the pixels on the screen. So if you choose the best means, you get the best quality by emetic longer for your export to export, okay? The next two is scaling and parallel processing. Just leave parallel processing on unless you have issues. Now when it comes to previous scaling mission, it is turn off for your final export. Okay, Now this previous scaling is used in conjunction with the setting here, which is proxy as well as previous scaling. Let's say you have 10 proxies, a previous scaling on, and you're also using proxy, right? So what shortcut does if you turn this option on as well, is Chicago create just a draft copy of your video. So it is useful if you want to just look through Yarra Video Export and see how things are, are created. So it will be at a lower resolution like for example, in this case, if my previous scaling is at 50 TP, then the video des export that would be 50 DP. If I want to have the final resolution, then I should make sure that this is an unchecked, Okay, now I'm a video on talking about a proxy as well previous scaling do watch the video. You explain a lot more about using this and is actually to do this Muda edits, okay? Especially if you have a high resolution files and your computer is not so powerful, right? So next we will hit onto the cadet. Now, this is the default quota if you're using YouTube with the hardware encoded and off. So this is lip x 264, which is very similar to hedge dot 264. So leap hex 264 is the open source version. Now you can also change this codec. So if you're not sure what you are doing, just leave it as hex 264. If you want to try it back to 65, you can do that as well. This one is a higher compression format, which means your video will be in a higher, highly compressed, have a smaller file size, but your computer will have, take a longer time to create a video. And some places might not be able to play this. So you, depending on where you are going to use that video right now, if you are using heavy include encoded and it changes to a different one depending on your computer, right? So you can try either one of these. Now the next important thing is the rate control. There's a field. The default is actually that quality-based variable be read. Again, VBM stands for variable B RED, which means based on this quality that you set here, shortcut would create that video. If you want to have a higher quality, you can sell it to higher, say, about 75 or even 80. And if you want the ultimate quality of your video, you can even set it to a 100. You want your video to come up with a sudden file size. You may want to use average should be read as o constant be read. For example, if you use average, be read you then tau shock, what Todd be read you one, your video. And Ashoka would try to target that video be red. And the higher the bit rate, the higher the quality of your video. So this is averaged be red. You have constant period as well, which means Chicago credit as a constant and b. Now usually what I do is I use quality basal VBR for most of my edits. And in a lot of videos that you see me using a shortcut to create that. And I just usually just took this higher if I want to have a higher quality. Okay? Now one thing to note is that if you use a YouTube, okay, I'm just going to click on YouTube now. And YouTube have different requirements for the GOP, as well as the frames you hover over it. Then it actually talks about group of pictures which is the maximum a keyframe interval. Okay? So if you're not sure, I just leave this alone and use the default. If you are using the hashtag 264 high profile, then he has different settings for this. Okay? So this is the B frames is the bidirectional data pictures. All right, so, okay, so we first show, just leave things alone. Make sure this is not checked, okay. Otherwise you would just have a blank a video. All right. Let's click on YouTube. Next is the audio. Audio. The best thing is to leave the channels as cereal or two channels. You do have the option to export as a single mono, as well as a surround sound, okay, If you have the suitable tracks for right, sample rate, leave it as 48 thousand. This is the common sample rate for video, rather audio for video. And this is another 144,100 hertz. So depending on your original song and the original clip is best to leave it as that. Leave the codec, AAC as well. This is a common one as well. Average. Leave it as that. You don't need to change that. And when it comes to the bit rate, you can select anything from a low figure up to a very, very high figure. The usual Bibirevo audio, or rather audio for video ranges from 192 to 256. If you want to have slightly higher, you can go for that. Okay, so 256 is actually the common ones, right? Yes. The other tab, which more advanced setting, just lifting Sloan. All right. So basically you are actually good to go once you have selected or this. And what you want to do now is to click on export the file. All right, So click on that. I should cover open up a window. So let's say I'm going to export this video to the test directory. So document video tests, you can actually select the directory here on the go. Okay. Then give it the file name. So let's say this is my test. And usually I tried to use FC to tell me, just to remind myself that this is the final cut, right? And I click on safe. Okay? And on the top right here in the jobs of Windows shortcut is encoding or rather exploiting that video. Okay, now if I double-click it, this is the video that is on the screen right now. Okay? In fact, play is somewhere here. So the text would come on. Now you want to locate your video on your folder, just right-click. Show in folder. Okay, so this is the path relation to, okay, I can click it and this is how you place. Let me just stop that. Okay, let me close the window. So that's all for exporting your video. We shot cut. 54. Final Message And Review : I hope you have enjoyed the class so far. I certainly enjoyed creating it for you. I look forward to seeing your projects, meet with this software as well as encourages me as the instructor here on Skillshare. I have a small request to make, which is for you to leave a review for this class. It does two things. Number one, it helps other students decide whether this class is suitable for them. And number two, excuse you have requirements in order for the class to remain on their platform, which has said a number of watch hours, as well as people are interacting with their instructors in terms of reviews as well as questions, this ensures that the class remains on their platform and you can review it anytime that you like me. That's it. Happy grading and happy video editing.
