Transcripts
1. Introduction: Video editing can be
very complicated, but does it have to
be or even is it? Well, actually not. Hi there, my name is Nick. Thanks, and I'm full-time
online content creator. And in this course I'm going to teach you how we can do a basic, pretty good video editing would move out of
a video editor, Moa video Richard
is very simple, very affordable, and very powerful
video editing software that will allow you to get into video editing very quickly
without any hassle and without a huge financial
commitments, of course, you will learn everything
that you need to know, both technical and creative
parts in video editing in order to create the most
amazing edited videos as soon as possible
without over bloating with the things that you really
don't need or won't even use. I've equated online
video content for six years now and I
think or two coming from my practice and
I'm going to teach you that after this
course you will understand the video
I think is actually not that difficult and
not that complicated. So welcome to the course. Don't hesitate to ask any
questions if you will have them and we will have them
because I'm here for you. And without further
ado, let's get started.
2. What is Video Editing?: Before we get into
the main lectures and discuss all about video
editing with Bobby, I want to cover a few topics that might be
interesting for you. First things first is
regarding the course itself or rather how I digital course
throughout the course, some of you might think
that I speak way too fast. It will be correct. This is
the manner of my speech. I just speak too fast. We're not familiar
with the topic. And when I'm excited
with a topic, I just speak way
too fast and that's how I talk in any language. So I apologize in
advance for that. And if it will be a
big trouble for you, don't forget that you have
an ability to actually change the speed of
the video itself, decreases speed to 0.75 and it will be perfect
defined for you with that or the way
I want to discuss the common misconception
about the video editing. And it's what actually
is the video editing, what majority of people who think and what you
might think as well is that video editing is
actually a technical skill. By technical skill, I mean
that anyone can actually learn it by just swell learning how it's
done and that's it. In reality, it's more
of a creative skill. It's very similar to well, to learn how to write a book, anyone can learn how to write. It's extremely simple
to learn how to write, but not everyone will
become famous novelist and not everyone will create a great stories
and great novels. And the same goes exactly
for the video editing. When you are editing the videos, you are not making your
videos technically better. You are transforming the footage into this story. That's
what you are doing. You are telling a story. Stories can be
different by story. I don't mean you
are just talking about your day or
things like that. By story, I mean that
you are conveying information in a way that
has distinct beginning, distinct, middle, distinct, and an all around it
has some purpose. For example, this lecture, this lecture has the story
and stories to teach you how to create a good
weld edited videos. And what's video and think
given is the stories. It doesn't have to be fictional, but it has to be cohesive. You are doing the exactly the same thing with
the video editing. You don't need an
extremely complicated set of skills to create a
well edited videos. And this is the thing that I want you to understand first, you are telling this story. That's what you're
doing with your video editing technique here, is you are basically taking all the footage that
you have recorded or someone else have
recorded and you are mixing and matching them in a way that gives you a cohesive story from
the beginning to an end. Or if you have a one
video and usually what I have in my case when I am recording the videos
like this lectures, you have one long
Footage File and you are basically getting rid of the
things that you don't need, like any rid of silences or wounds or US or
points in the video, you are just thinking or
making a lot of mistakes. All of those things are
getting out of the video to give you a cohesive information about, well, this lecture, that is the thing that you need to understand
in this course, you will learn all
the basic skills to edit the videos
with the movie. But if you do know all the, all the basic skills
of video editing, then the more advanced
sections will actually allow you to well use
these basic skills in more effective way to keep people glued to
your video and to make them feel satisfied
with what they're watching and to make
them feel engaged. That's important to ask. By knowing what to do and
why certain things are done. You can actually get more skills and techniques from well, everywhere on Internet when you will be watching different
videos from now on, you will actually start noticing those storytelling bits that
we do editors are using. Well, if you like
them and if you can incorporate in your videos, you will be able to
do that as well. Now to have this
up, video editing is not an actual
technical skill. It's actually a creative
skill which requires pretty little amount of technical knowledge except
for exporting the videos, like exporting videos is
purely technical knowledge, but the video itself is very
creative type of knowledge. So be creative folder lectures and I'm gonna see
you in the next one. See you there.
3. Introduction to Movavi Video Editor: Hello and welcome to
the beginners section of this movie video
editing course. First things first, I wanted
to give you a big, big, big disclaimer before you're gonna go into this
section itself. And the disclaimer is this. This section is made for pure beginners in
any video editing. You have never done any video editing and
you have never done innovating with Bobby and you'd have no idea how those
things are done, then this section is
absolutely for you. You will learn the very basics of interface and you will learn very effects of video editing to understand the technical
part of the video. I think I remember when I
said in a previous lecture, wherever when I compare
it video editing to the book writing, yes, basically in
this section you will actually learn how to
write literal writing. In the next section,
you are going to learn how to
write an actual book if you are not a complete
beginner and if you have some idea how
the video works, please skip this section entirely and move on
to the next section. This will save you
a lot of time. You can still stay here
if you're interested, what some new things
that you might learn, which will be perfectly
fine for you. But again, if you are familiar with the video
editing and more valley, then move on to
the next section. What you'll learn
here in this section, well, we're going to
learn how to write. Basically this will be there, IQ technical skills
of video editing. You're gonna learn all about the move of
interface where you can actually get
mobile video editor and how we can actually start, how we can actually do very, very, very basic video editing. And of course how we
can export the video, which is very important thing
and very technical skill. So without further
ado, let's just get started and I'm gonna see
you in the next lecture. See you there.
4. Movavi Video Editor Interface Overview: Hello and welcome to our first, well, let's say
official lecture. This lecture we're going to
learn where you can actually get the Mojave software,
how to install it. Then we're gonna go through the interface tool to get you familiar with the interface. Again, I will repeat
everything that I said in previous lectures. If you are not a
complete beginner, if you have already software
installed and if you're already understand how
the software works, you don't need to go through this lecture because
most likely you will not hear anything that
you already don't know, but it will still be good if
you go through this lecture. Again, I'm aware that aspect
too fast so you can actually decrease the speed
of the video if you don't understand
what I'm telling, be mindful that I will be repeating the things
that are very important and you
need to know well, so don't worry, you are
not gonna miss anything. Plus I'm gonna be
showing everything on screen and everything
will be highlighted. So let's get it started. I think number one that we're
going to be focusing on is of course, downloading
movies software. You actually need to
know what you are downloading because you might get confused what
you need to install. So first things
first, all we need to do is go to move Valley.com. You can see it right here. Go to work or they're all in to do afterwards is go to video, which is in this
case is right here, where I'm, I'm just pointing in highlighting it for your ease. Go and click the video
right here and don't forget to select this right here you want video editor plus you don't need any
other software for now. And this is why
you need to click, depending on your
operating system, you can either choose
a Windows or Mac, but you don't need
to do it right here. So you can just go and click
Video two plus right here. And here. Basically you are going
to have a menu where you will download
this software itself. It's extremely simple. If you go with a Windows,
you're going to have this big button
highlighted right here, which will be
available for Windows. If you go with a Mac, you're going to have this
Mac version right here. Regardless, you can
choose whatever you want and it'll just start downloading
and installing for you. Don't worry, it is
completely free to do and you don't even
need to register, and that's basically it. You only need to do just click install it into installing
on your computer. And yes, Basically you have a mobile software installed
on your computer. Congratulations. Now full disclaimer here, movie is actually a paid software. It's not subscription-based
software, it just one time paid software. However, when you download
it and install it, it will have seven
day free trial. So I highly suggest
you to follow this course through the
seven-day free trial, or you can just go
and purchase it immediately wherever you want. You are not restricted with anything here in the
seven-day trial. You can do whatever you want. It's not gonna be a big issue. Every feature that is
unlocked in a paid finalized ultra will be
unlocked for you as well. We can just follow everything if you want with this lecture. Now, it, when you install it, you're going to
meet, met of course, with the registration window. You can just skip it or just words or by
software right away. But this is what you
will be seeing when registration is
completed or postpone. It doesn't really
matter. This is what makes this software extremely
simple and extremely great for every beginner because this is basically
everything there is. It's extremely simple and
extremely great thing to use. And let me explain
what everything is. First, let's start with a
two very important places. And it is your timeline is basically your majority of bulk of your editing will be happening and your
preview window, let me just move my face here so it will be easier
for you to see. This is preview window and this is where
you'll basically be seeing your finalized video or your clip doesn't
really matter. Next very important
thing is of course your main context menu on top. This is well, seeing with
him for every software. So yeah, this is here. This is here too. And the next is of course, your toolbar on the left. This is extremely important
thing and this is where you will be doing
majority of your things. Then every tool will have
their own toolbar as well. And right here you can
actually work with the different tools and that's
basically all there is. It's not much, it's
not difficult. But now let's just go through
each and every single tool. Bit more in depth to give you an understanding what
you'll be doing. Don't worry. If
you did not catch everything that I've
told work right now, you do not need to remember
every single thing. I'm going to give you a
little secret right now. There are only three
or four places and through four things that
you will need to work with, that you will need
to be working with. And you will need to
remember first is you will need to get very familiar
with the timeline. And we will be getting very
familiar with the timeline, then you will need to be very familiar with it,
the preview window. And you will need to be very familiar with
your media being, which is right here. And you're going
to have everything available well, right here, and this is where all your
media will be available. So basically this right
here, this, and this, this is where you
will be doing maybe 80% of all of your editing. This is basically
everything else will just enhance your editing and
we'll just add some things. By the way, if you want to
monitor your audio as well, your audio monitor
will be right here. It will show you right
here. Don't worry about this sign right here. This is for my cursor,
basically drawing. Now let's quickly go through
each and every tool for you to get familiar with what each and every
one of them are doing. And then at the end
of the lecture, we'll go through
one very essential setting that you
will need to pay really close attention
to in order to get your video editing as
well smooth as possible. First things that you'll
need to remember is wherever you will be
pointing your mouse at, intellectually show you what
these two is actually June. This is very important and
very powerful feature. And yeah, this is very
beginner friendly thing. On the tools. You'll
know exactly what each and every tool
is actually doing. Personal that we would
get familiar with is right here and it is
called an import tool. And this is basically
the tool where you import all your file. Basically take all of your files are more
outside sources, whether it's through
your camera, your holiday score,
your SD card, or whatever it is, your phone, and import it right here. And you have a few
different sections. You have filing board,
media being sounds, music, sample videos, background,
and in fact, packages. So to be fair, this is all made for your
convenience and you bet men mainly what you
need to be doing this working with the file
import and your media being. So File Import is basically
the place where you will be importing your files too. But basically the
following port is a tool which allows you to get files wherever they're
located to the media beat. This would actually
it's doing so won't do just press Add Files right here and you
can choose the file and import it right? Or which is another made for your convenience
and maybe for ease of use allows you to well creates those files to
import on the spot. Basically, you can just press, record a video and you get will allow you to record the videos from a camera or an external device you have
connected to your computer. And we can capture a screencast. However, this will require a separate software which is just part of
movie video suit, just to be very familiar, just know that you can also record an audio which is
basically a microphone. To open a microphone for us, it'll all be recorded audio. And there's also a quick video. Quick video is basically very, very toned-down version of the mobile view video interprets
the tool allow you just quickly cut your
videos without adding any additional and very
complicated things. It even simpler version
of very simple software. So if you want something
even simpler than that, then yes, you can use that. But I don't suggest it to
you that because this is basically as simple as it can get next is basically
your media bin. This is where all your
files will appear, then there is your sounds. And this basically allows
you to tap and access the movie library and
epidemiology to just read. It has some pre edit sounds. You really don't need that, but you can actually use that. And by the way, just
be let me clear. If you press Download more, edge will actually allow you to get an access through
a story blogs. By the way, starting
blocks is not free. You will need to be paying
a subscription fee. But yeah, if you have
already started Box account, you can actually integrate it directly to move all the
software, which is pretty great. The same is with the music. It already has a bunch
of pre-installed music. There's also sample videos, which basically a
royalty-free videos. There's also backgrounds and there's also an
effects packages. And to give you an understanding what affects packages are, it is basically a YouTube
being trolls, for example, or n screens or a subscription notifications
and things like that. And movies actually providing
you with all these tools and you can actually get them through this effects packages. You can actually build
them yourself if you want, but just for your convenience, Let's move on to the
next tool right here, which is very important, which is called
the filters tool. When you press this one, it will give you an access to all, if you want all of the filters, or it will give you
the access to wealth, separate categories like
personable and noise filters or do then when you
just press them, it'll actually show you the sample or file we Tool
effect in a preview window. Let me just move myself so it
will be more easier to see. Like for example,
if I press static, this will show you
a different noises. You can add a color
filters if you want. You can also add additional
flying objects if you want. You can add the retro effects
at the South to look like. You can add vignettes. And if you don't know
what vignette is, basically it's a darkening
of the corners of an image. And etcetera, etcetera are
useful, very powerful, and yet they're all filters are available right here and you can actually purchase additional
pacs if you want to do so. Next very important
thing is right here, which is dran positions. If you press this one that
will allow you to shoot see, it will allow you to see
different transitions that you will be using. One pro tip that I
want to give it to you is don't overuse
transitions. Transitions are actually
made to enhance your story. They're not do the addition, put them there, just
to have them there. Simple jump cuts will do just
fine in 90% of the cases. So you can actually have this
transitions if you want, for example, this beautiful transitions and
things like that. Next is, of course, very important thing
which is titles. To give you a short
explanation of what it is. Well, you see what it is. It is actually just
adding text to your basically video
so you can inter-text or it can be a lower third which shows you the name and
something like that. And you can actually
preview them if you want, and they are fully editable. So don't worry,
it's actually very, very powerful,
allowing it to you. They're very amazing things. You can even add like
the different NGOs, like this one if you want to add different NGOs like
I like this one, this is pretty beautiful and
pretty well, amazing intro. And you can add all
of those and you can also add a speech
bubbles if you want. If you have a part
in your story, in your video where
you will reject your convey some thoughts or maybe you don't have an audio and you want to use the speech bubbles
and things like that, you can actually use this one. It as well. Next is, well, very important in this day and age of social
media and his stickers, you can add a bunch of
different stickers. You can add arrows. If you aren't looking at an
animated arrow like this one, you can add a thumbs
up if you want. Admittedly, this is a
simple stickers and you can add all of those
things to your videos. It's well as, as easy
and as simple as that. And last but not least is well, of course more tools weren't
going to press this. It will actually unlock a
bunch of different tools. And this is the thing that you will need to be paying
very close attention to. This is actually the most
important part of your toolbar. This right here, because this is actually where you will be doing majority of your video editing. For example, if you want
to add the chroma key, which for the ones who
doesn't know what it is, chromic II basically, well, green screen, press this one. If you have a good
scooting around you, it will allow you to
choose a green screen and just adjust and add that
this green-screen effects. Or if you want to add
a color adjustments, this is where you
actually do that. If you want to crop your video, this is where you'd do
that and things like that. Don't worry, I'm going
to be explaining everything in the future
videos one works, you'll be doing some
practical exercises. This is all about interface, but as I promised in the
beginning of the lecture, there's one more thing
that you need to remember, which is extremely important
and extremely, well, extremely powerful thing that
you need to be doing very, very beginning before you're gonna be working
or anything else. And it is done right here. Go to settings on the top menu right here, then
press preferences. When you go right here,
go to the acceleration. And depending on the software, different, depending on the
hardware that you choose. One of them will be highlighted. What most likely at least one of them will be highlighted? You have an Intel CPU
with this one will be highlighted and select that
you'll have an in-video GPU. This is what we will be highlighted and this is where
you need to be selecting. And if you have AMD
CPU or even AMD GPU, This will want, it
will be selected and you will need to
select one of those. What this allows you
to do is to allow your movie software to use your hardware for its purposes. While, when it's using hardware, it is making the editing
much, much faster. Another thing that you will
need to be doing is you have a weaker computer is
optimized HD clip. So what this we'll
be doing is when you will add a video and you're basically media library
or immediately and it will start transcoding
your view is immediately. That means that it will
create a dump down versions of your
clips which will be in much, much lower quality. It will not be an, because of that
there will be much lighter and much easier to run. Then you can work on this, we can work with these videos and at the end, when
they're exporting, Tom will come with
you and I were talking in the future videos, the software will actually
be using original file, so meaning that it will retain the original quality
of the video. So this is very powerful
software that you introduce. Everything that I've
talked about Greg here is actually yes, important, but this is just a major of
Gc just made for an overview just for you to know where the most important
tools are located, just for you to not get lost when their future videos I
will be talking about that. Don't worry, you don't
need to remember everything by heart.
Don't worry about that. This is just a quick, very quick overview
just for the beginners. If you're not a beginner and if you have already
used the software, you already know where it is. That's why I said
that this lecture is only for the beginners. So yes, this will be
it for this lecture and I'm gonna assume an
excellent, See you there.
5. Footage Collection Essentials: Hello and welcome back.
In this lecture we'll be extremely sure to an easy and
simple to understand well, because it's made
for very, very, very, very, very
basic beginners. In this lecture, we're
gonna be talking about footage collection
and what you will need to think about
while you are collecting the footage at well, basically how it's
actually done. Well, practically wise, as I explained in the previous
lecture, in order to, in order to import the files, you will need to be right
here in this section, which is this right here. Let me just highlight
it more with a pen. And yeah, this is basically
where you are going for an awful writing and
writing with a mouse. And all need to do is
to go to file import. Or you can actually do this through the media being as well. What's the difference between
File Import and immediate been pal important as explained
in the previous lecture, you'll have some more options right here to basically generate the files for your
videos and in media being basically is already done, files will be collected. What is important to do right
now is you need to actually import the majority of
the files right here. So now the question is, well, what happens when you add the file? What is
the actual process? Let me show you
just real quickly. I want to do is just
press Add files and it will open where
basically your files and this is basically
one of my folders with the footage from one of my YouTube channel,
basically raw footage. And all I need to do is just choose one of them and add this, add this all there is and I
will choose just one of them. But let's go with a
Dyson sphere program, which is the game, but one of the games that I've reviewed on my, one of
my YouTube channels. And basically it is what it is. And as you can see, it's
already in the media bin. And, or I can just double-click
if I want this and will already added to the timeline,
That's all there is. Or alternatively, I'm
going to Control Z this, I'm going to take
this and drag it to the timeline and to edit
immediately into the timeline. There's one thing that
you will see immediately, by the way, in order
to zoom timeline, just press the Control
key on a keyboard and just use your scroll wheel
and it will just zoom in. I just liked that and
zoom out if you want. And by the way,
at the top one is the video track and the
bottom one is an audio track, but you will see the audio
waveform pretty soon. You will also see is what
we learned in one of the previous lecture AND is the optimized optimization
of the clips. And as you can see, it
is happening right here. It shows you that these
optimizing eclipse, and this basically
means that it is transforming the clip into a smaller version
or the claim for the software to be
easily editable. You can continue editing
your videos right away. It won't be an issue, but if you wait until
this one is done, it will be much,
much, much quicker. So if you have a
weaker computer, I would suggest to just to wait until this one is
done right here. As you can see, you
can actually zoom in, zoom out using this button right here is just
under mu right here. This is the button right there. You can actually use
this and just scale it up and down if you want
this to an extreme zoom in. This is extremely zoomed out. If you want to have this through
to your entire timeline, you can just fit it like that. And it gets, you have an audio waveform down there as well. This is basically all about
the importing of the clips. You can import anything
that you want right here. And you can even
sort it out if you want the file type, name, date, or last edit, if you
just press plus, you can also add the
music if you want, if you were just want it
to be used separately, let me just add one of the royalty free music just for you to be easy to understand her how it
actually looks like. And as you can see,
just music is well, it's basically at a
titled separately and differently from everything else for you to be easily
understandable. And I can just take
this clip right here and edit as a
music down right there. And then you can see
it because it's, well, it's a shorter clip. It just doesn't fit fully
because it's not big music. And if I want to
distribute duplicated, I can just go right here. Go near the end of the clip so I would know
where the clip actually ends. I'm gonna, I'm gonna add
this clip just once again, just like that or on top or
just like this by the way, don't worry, we're gonna, I'm gonna teach you
how we can actually edit all of those in
the next lecture. Yeah, basically, it is
all about adding clips. It's very easy, very simple,
very straightforward. Just drag and drop one
pro tip that will be great to know at the beginning while you are actually collecting the footage, It's better to
collect the footage in advance before
you're going to start, before we start the project. Because you need to
know what you're, what you're editing
and you have to need to know what you're doing beforehand and just add
everything beforehand. In this case, it's going to be doing a very, extremely
simple product. It's going to be the
video took care of video with single,
every single video, which in this case is
called an achiral clip, which is basically your
main global main clip and accompanying get the music. That's all that you
need for the very, very basics of the
video editing. In the next lecture,
we're actually going to start editing this and just I'm gonna show you how
we can actually edit this. What you actually need
to do in order to edit this clip, to show you the very, very simple edit before we're
gonna move on to the next, a more advanced
editing techniques. So I'm gonna see you
in next lecture. See you there.
6. Basic Video Editing: Hello and welcome back. In this lecture we
are going to be going through the basic editing. When I'm telling basic, I mean, if like very, very, very basic editing for the people who have
never done any, I didn't get again,
this entire section. If you have some
experience in editing, then this will not
be useful for you. I would highly
suggest you again to move on to the next section. Now, even in lecture to the
next section for the rest, let's cover the
very basic editing. Move on to exporting
and then move on to the more advanced things
in, in video editing. Let's get it started. So we have the previous
project open right here. And as you can see, we added some things
from the previous, in the previous lecture, we added the basic video. This is basically
called an a role. And you can actually move
the pin head and see where this is located by
moving this right here. Here is the pin head that
you can actually move. By the way, everything
that you'll be doing care, again, will be shown right here. So don't forget to look at this. Let me just move my way so it will be more easily
fully visible for you. This is where the
Premium Windows happening to forget
to look at this. Then you can scrub
through the timeline, which basically moves to the movement through
the timeline. And the timeline is basically whatever you're
seeing right here. And you can scrub
through this by moving on this line right here. And let me show me what
do I mean by that? You can just take this
mouse wheel and just move on and you will see the
heart where it will end. Or alternatively, you
can actually move on through this
slider right here. So this is how we can actually
move through the timeline. Now let's go through the very, very basic things that
you can do and very, very basic things that
you can learn to do. First, let me just
remove the music. We don't need the
music at first. And then let's focus
on the important part. When you do editing, the first thing that
you will need to learn, the first very, very
basically that you only learn is actually cutting. And cutting basically
means removing the things that you
don't really need. In this case, the first
thing that we don't need is basically silences, which is called the dead air. And we don't need all the
mistakes that we do at all. Or the ums and uhs and all the repeating
things like that. And we need to remove every
single one of those things. It's actually not that not as difficult as
you might think. The first thing that
you can actually remove is actually dead air that area, basically the southern parts. And you can actually see where the southern parts are
located by looking at the audio waveform of the audio timeline and see
if you go and see this, look at this right here. You see that there is
silence right here. If I could just see with
stakeholders down and you can see they're
small silences all around the place from I'm just circling only the few of them because they are
much, much more. And we are looking
at more than eight minutes of timeline right now. And if you zoom in, you're
gonna see them even more. I guess you can see there are
so many dead air right now. I don't even need to
cook the beginning, there are so many
smaller their ears. I don't even need
to go and watch the entire video took to find
them and to remove that, there's one right here. There is one right here. There is one right here at, there is smaller
ones right here, one right here, etc, etc. These are called dead heirs. And all we need to do
is to remove them. We just go and zoom in. Let me just turn this
off, go and zoom in. And only did you just
the beginning part, which the part that you want
to cut out and then select the split tool you
can go and use the Control B if you want. First select, of course,
the clip itself. Do this and it will make
a cut and then go and add the parts and go until the part where you think that
your videos get to go. For example, let's do this
one and do this right here. And as you can see, we
have divided our timeline into nighttime on the clip
into a few different parts. There's one right
here and there's one the beginning
and one at the end. Only to do just to remove one is go and press Delete,
and that's it. That's basically it
will just connected. And if you just start
playing this one right here, I'm not going to actually
turn on the sound itself, but let's see, let me see, let me show you how
it actually works. Then please press play. And as you can see, it made the jump
cut right there. So don't worry about that. Many people are actually
way too worried about the jump cuts and
they're doing way too many unnecessary
transitions. But we're going to
talk about this in one more, one of the
future lectures. This is the basic
thing that you need to do to make a jump cuts
and you know what, we're going to get back. And I'm gonna I'm gonna give you one is secret tip before
we're going to move on. A bit of advanced
parts. It's not actually advances very basic, but most people just don't do this until they will actually will encounter
this problem. But there is one thing that you can actually most
likely you need actually be doing
at the beginning before we would actually
cut out all your clips. And it's actually correct
in your Eclipse themselves. So what we will do in this case, it will actually color a bit of color correction to the clip itself before we're
gonna do any coding. Because when you will
do it afterwards, there are other ways to make the cuts which make the
corrections afterwards, but it's better to do beforehand while you have as fewer
clips as possible, It's much better to
do it with one clip. Then compare it to
like ten or 50. Or by the end of
cutting this word, you might have
hundreds of clips. What you would do
is go right here in the video desktop and go
to the color adjustments. What you can do with
the Mojave or software, you can actually make some
automatic color adjustments. For example, if you
add an auto Contrast, you can just drag it at all the clip and to try
to do another contrast. And usually it's not that great, at least not for Maya. You can try it in order
saturation if you want. And by the way, if
you don't know what our contrast or
saturation means, contrasts basically
adds difference between black and white
colors and make them wider, basically making it less gray
if you want to say this, and saturation just makes
colors more vibrant, you can go and add an auto white balance if you want them yet sexually is great because it's actually tried to counteract the purple
in the background. I have actually purple
lights in the background. So it's a very difficult
and you can do a magic enhance that it will
try to enhance it by itself. And as you can see, the Mojave thought that my
clip is actually, my videos are too dark and
just edit more columns. Sorry, I'm just covering my face and just I'm going to
move on to see what it actually looked for
command Z and what is looked after the
magic and thinks that it's way too dark because
it's actually is. But that's really how
I like to record it. But yeah, this is what it done. What do we also need to do is we cut out actually
do a manual mode, every single thing manually. And this is all the
things that we can do. First thing that we will actually do is
we're going to add some saturations to
make the color a bead, some tiny, tiny, tiny
bit more vibrant and add more contrast just
a bit, not too much. We're going to actually
decrease a bit of highlights. And by the way,
highlights actually with wide parts of the clip, we can actually
increase some shadows, make everything a
bit more visible, but I think it's not that great. I'm going to make the
clip a bit darker. It's all about now, it's all about the preferences, whatever you prefer to
go temperature wise, I need actually a bit
more once too much and I can just manually rights to
actually, she's pretty good. Ten twice do have a bit of
a green tint on myself, but adding a purple tint
makes it way too deep. Let's go with minus tan cell to look like it's actually
still too purple. Let's go with minus five
again to purple minus one. I think we are fine right there. It's actually
pretty difficult to edit the HOG that I'm using on, but you can actually go and use a lots if you want to
have some HOG lots. If you're recording in HOG for
the ones who doesn't know, HOG means hybrid log gamma. It's actually a
mode of recording. Basically it seems
just to college space and it's actually perceived
colors in a different way. You can actually,
we will use this, used a different lots
for that if you want. And other than that,
you can actually add some stabilization if you have, if you think that your clip
is actually not stable, if you are doing a shaky
camera can actually add the stabilization
and it'll actually add a stable way
to stabilize it. It will actually
see the tragedy, detect how shaky it is and just give you an ability
to actually stabilize it. You can press table, as I said, wasn't until stabilized for you. In my case, I don't really need that because my clip is actually stable and you can actually add some additional things if
you'd want to cover a face, for example, with the blurs
and things like that. Well, in my case, I
don't really need that. You can actually do
all of those things. Those things. I'm just going to just deselect
this deleted in Riyadh. And yeah, that's basically
is if you actually, if you'll ask where
you can actually get, get this where actually see where all the
adjustments are made. You can actually see
all the adjustments right here, a button right here. If you'd like to show you all the general properties of the clip and all the
applied effects that, but in my case, it's manual adjustments
when you practice, it will get me to the manual
adjustments right there. And you can actually
add a fade ins fade out basically how the clip
we'll transition. It can actually allows you to add some normalization for the volume, try
things like that. And by the way, this is another important tip that people are
actually overlooking. And it is of course,
audio editing. You can actually add
some solid autocorrect like it will give you some, it has voice recording
recording studio which can give you an audio effect. It can actually allow
you to equalize it. You can actually add a
noise suppression and those removal noise
gate compressor, vibration synchronization
and beat detection. What should you do like what
a beginner video turned needs to be doing
cure in order to actually well gets
to clip to the end. Practically wise. There are a lot of
things that you can do, but I suggest you to 100% go for compressor,
apply the compressor. Compressor basically, it
just compresses the salad, making the loudest sound and a quieter sound closer to
each other at this level, sound a bit better and
that technically the net, but it also allows
you to not clip yourself and know what We'll
try Jacobian right now, by the way, headphone
warning right here, because this is going to be a very loud One, One right now. This is how the clipping actually sounds because
as you can see, just went to way too
overboard absorbed for that. You need to, you need to
hear what the clipping is compressive and allows you to tune this clipping volume down. It will not make the
moist clean or clear, but it will not make unbearably two and variable two here, there's play within
effects to see which one suits you the
best. The noise gate. Is actually a pretty
interesting thing as well that I suggest
you to use the fuel. Well, if you have silences in Eclipse that you don't
want to cut out. For example, if you are doing an extended lecture and you have some silences that
you don't want to cut out. You can actually
edit noise gate. And noise gate
basically means that when you're not talking, the microphone is not recording. And just basically
all the dead air that you see right here. It will still be there, but it will also cut out all the background noise that
you might be hearing there. But for example, if
you have a computer running or AC running, even in a dead air, it you teach still be, you will still be able
to hear it in your clip. And with this, you
can actually cut it, go, make this in
complete silence, which is actually very, very powerful thing
because removal is basically allows you to
suppress this background noise. Usually decreases the
quality of the noise. It's usually also decrease
the quality of an audio. But yeah, you can
actually do that with an audio equalizer. You can actually use
a different presets. For example, at
Boise enhancements, it will in the hands the actual frequencies
of your voice, music enhancement, that beta
reduction, dance, etc, etc. Or you can just go
for flat and just adjust it by yourself if you want, just
go and play around. This is all about playing
around with the equalizer. It's actually pretty easy
and pretty fun thing to do. And it all depends which
microphone you use. Different microphones
actually prefer different EQs and you can just go and play with
this one. Audio effects. You don't need this once. Unless you are doing some very specific things for
the basic editing, you don't need that.
Enforce on autocorrect. You connect your play
with this one and you can try students in here, what do I need to
actually choose a different presets to
improve your sound? And it's actually pretty
powerful thing to do at the end, beat detection, which will actually go through your music and we'll
see where the bits are located and to actually
mark it on your timeline, it's actually a very
powerful if you're doing some montages and
things like that, you can actually use
this for your own good. It's actually very, very simple. And do all these adjustments at the beginning and then go
on and do some cutting. For example, right here,
I don't want to cut, cut my dead air right here. Select this one. Now they had to go
and do Control B. I don't want this one go Control B and then
select the color. I don't want to
delete and go through entirety of this
video right here, go through it in time. This is what you will need to be doing in order to have to start making some good videos, go and cut everything out. Have a very clean and
Basic out a role. And then what you'll
do is add a bureau. And bureau can be
anything that you want, can be an additional
mux up the background, additional videos,
things like that, that will actually enhance
your narration by the way, we're going to talk about narration in one of
the future videos because this is more
advanced stuff. That is, we're more like
a theory, but yeah, it's some practical things that you need to
know the basics of in order to understand and do the cutting and add
the music at the end, the music is added like
the same way that we did in the previous lecture. Go and take the
music and add it. If you see that
it's not longer now and control cities
and then rho V, and just make sure that
you are adding all of them on the same time like oh, and just spread them
however that you want to. It's actually magnetizes the
virtual snap to each other. So don't worry about that. And you collect, you will
select the multiple of them, then Control C and Control V, and make sure that they're
all on the same timeline. And you can actually go
until the end of the video. It's basically at
video editing is actually not as difficult
as you might think. Basic video editing
is extremely simple. If you think that you need to be doing something very extensive, and if you think that
you need to be doing something very powerful in
order to make good videos. You are being taught very wrong. Let's just completely wrong. The majority of the
movies are editing, edited in so basic way that you don't even realize
how basic they are. Majority of the movies are actually good recording the
cameras and things like that. It's actually a
very, very basic, It's just a regular jump cuts. It just basically cuts no transitions and
things like that. It's a very, very
basic jump cuts. Very good music and very, very well edited audio
at well, I did it. I mean, that's recorded
cleanly and edit some compression and added some noise removal
and things like that. It's a very, very
basic things you cannot even imagine how
basic and simple this is. All you need to do
is to understand, understand what you're trying to convey and just noticing it. And that's actually what makes video editing
the difficult, but not as difficult
as you might think. In the next lecture, we're
going to be going through export to just show
you how export works. And then we're going to go
into more advanced stuff. You would make your video
as best as possible, well, with as least
editing as you can get. And I'm gonna show you some
techniques that I'm using for my YouTube channels and
for this courses as well. And well, I'm gonna see you in the next section. See you there.
7. Exporting of Final Video: Hello and welcome back. In this lecture I'm going
to be showing you how to do a basic export because
this is the thing that people are
actually weirdly enough struggling the most because
the editing is easy, but people don't
understand how to export their videos
in order to make their videos as
good-looking as possible because what they're
recording, it looks great. And then suddenly
when they're going to their end products that they want to
upload on YouTube or any other social media platform
or anywhere to be fair, they see that their quality
is actually pretty low. So in this video,
In this lecture, we're going to be going
to an export settings to show you how to get the
best settings said. Well actually how would
you to understand what settings that
you want to get? So let's go to the
Mojave itself. With the more water you have a few options in order to export your video
versus go well, basically an Export button
right here on the top, and then there is a
button or right here, my face covering it as you can
press this one right here. They're actually doing
basically the same thing, but let's go to the actor, the Export button right here, just to show you again
for the people who do that don't want to miss, right? This one. Yeah, I'm gonna show you
how we can actually do at what's actually
happening right there. Press Export button. You'll have a, basically
a few options. First is export video, which means that you are
exporting the video itself. Again, to explain, very
basically with exporting, nice exploiting me
is just connecting all the things that you
do in your timeline to one cohering then video. That's basically what it
is to make what maker project that you're
working here on my modally into an end video. This is what the export
video basically is, that there is an export audio. That means that you
can actually export only the audio clip
without the voice, without the video itself. It's good for the people who are working with
podcasts and you can actually freely at it with
podcasts here as well. I don't think that you
can do full music here, but yeah, you can do a bunch
of things here as well. And yeah, you can actually
export audio, for example, if you are recording, again, let's get back to the podcasts. If you're recording
a video podcasts and you want to upload
it will warn or audio podcasts platform go
and press Export Audio and to allow me to export audio and just upload it to the
audio podcast platform. Don't worry, I'm gonna explain what's happening where
they are in a second. Next is directly
upload to YouTube, to Google Drive or to Vimeo. It's exactly what it is. You can just press this button and it will allow you to upload the video directly to YouTube
tool driver or to Vimeo. That's exactly what it needs to export the video
and upload it there. And last but not least
is add selection. For example, if you
are, if you have selected this part right here, as you can see, you can add
an ed selection right here. You can select only
this part if you want. Just go on Export and
Export Selection. And this will allow us to
export only this part. And this is great if
you have a long again, let's go back to the
podcasts because this is the long form
content that can be transformed into a bunch of
different types of content. If you have a log for podcasts and you want to export only
a few clips from there, maybe chocolate around Tiktok on YouTube shorts
or Instagram Reels. You can just have a selection
and just uploading there. But now I digress. Let's go to the
export video itself, and it's, all of them actually will take
you to the same menu. This is right here, but you have a main menu on the left one which
is saving your file. If audio file, then there
is say for devices, it's basically the same thing that say Export for the video, but it actually will
transform it based on the video or the device itself. There is safe for the
TVs in the same thing, but it will actually
adjust it for the device itself for
your convenience. Last but not least,
is upload online. Basically the thing that I told you right here about the
export it to YouTube, to Google Drive or to Vimeo. Let's go to the main
one export video. The second thing that
you will see when you go to this one is actually the different file
extensions that you can use are different
codecs that you can use. Now, this one might be a bit
confusing for the majority. So let me just explain
a very short way. Like at very short
and brief way too. What does this all mean? What do you need to focus on? Well, if you want something
that is universal and can be viewed on
practically every device, on practically every platform. Just go for an MP4, it to compress your audio, it will compress
your video quality and to make your video
quality a bit worse. But this is the most universal, basically a video format that you can upload
basically anywhere. And they say it's actually the
most simple one to go for. Mov is the same, but it's an actually an EPA
apple started standard. Avi is actually very
simple as well. It's a bit of
higher-quality, but yes, it's better to go
with an MP4 impact one impact to just
ignored completely. Wmd is same as MOV, which is an episode, but
it's the window standard. And NKVD is actually
another good standard, but not every player will
be playing this fl v is for the flash file and web m. If you want something
that is a very, very lightweight because web
m can give you a very, very, very, very small video sizes and we're
pretty good quality. It's not the highest quality,
but it's pretty good. Last but not least, there's GIF or GIF, whatever
you want to say. It's basically a moving picture. And if you want to export
in your entire video to GIF or GIF, you
can actually do that. But now let's get back
to mp4 and which is the university they would use the standard that
you will be using. In 99% of the time. So this is what you will
need to be focusing on. After you choose this,
you can actually go and choose the
name of the title, or basically the
filename at the end, and where you will be saving it, basically a folder path. Then you can choose one of the few preset
qualities versus draft, which is fast save
and media quality you to check the videos
before finalizing. This is great if you
are doing video, I think for someone
else or maybe you're working with
someone else and want to show the end products
before you will commit to the high-quality
and just how large file size, then there is good, which is basic sound next four
times size and quality. You'd said final
video, It's basically, it's a regular quality that majority of the
people who will be using and there is
a high-quality it, with this high-quality,
it will be larger, but the quality usually
be higher as well. And it will actually show you the end results of the product, how to be the resolution of it, and what will be
the duration of it, an estimated file size, the program will use the best
option within this range. The exercises final video
cannot be predicted. This is actually
what it shows you. It's predicts that
it will not be less than 897 megabytes and won't be more
than 3.29 gigabytes. It's a pretty big range, but it's pretty good to know. But a highly suggest you to use an Advanced tab
instead of that. This three tabs right here will actually show
me more options. It's an ad still the
highest high end. The video quality is still not high-end video
editing software like the highest and video
editing software, amount of options, but this is more options
that you will need to get familiar yourself with
this first video codec, H.264, an impact for, well, go with H.264. This is basically a
universal internet quality. Then you have a little
cogwheel button right here. If you press this, you can actually do a two pass encoding. If you just go and
have it, this one, this will actually go
through the encoding, basically exploiting twice to get as high-quality as possible, then you can choose a speed. Basically this is a CPU speed. How would I, how to
actually process it? The faster the video
processing is, the lower the quality
will be sold to. Remember, the faster
the higher the ultra-fast means that
the cost will be lower. You just go through this
very quickly and will make a lot of errors and mistakes and it will not look
basically great. If you want something
really good looking or medium or lower than, remember that it will take
higher amount of time, then you can go with a preset. You can go the film preset animation presets, retro preset, Slideshow preset, fast
decode, or 0 latency. If you don't know, if you
want to know more about this, go and click the Learn More. Basically, if you want
the high-quality video, go for film and ignore
everything else. Go back. Then you want, you can choose, you can choose a
resolution of your video. And yes, you can choose
one of those resolutions. Or alternatively, you can go with a custom resolution and it could choose any pixels
size right here. This will be width of the picture and this
will be the height. Of course, you can actually
unlink this if you want, and you can just make
an any aspect ratio that you want right here. The same thing we had, it was right here. Let me just go back. If you see that there is an
aspect ratio right here, you can actually choose
the aspect ratio while doing an export. Let's go back to an advanced. Usually it's better to
go for the resolution that you have your a role
in with my kids is ten ADP, so it's better to
go for the ten ADP, then there is a frame rate. Frame rate is the thing that is very interesting thing
that you need to know. First things first you
need a frame rate is basically how many frames
per second does your video. And it's better to have
the same frame rate as you have in your
first recorded video. So basically if
you're recording in 24 frames per second on 23.98, you need to have the
same in an end-product, then it will not look at choppy. If you're recording if 30 FPS, you need to go for the 30 FPS, you can more or less safely decrease the number of FPS if you're
recording in high FPS, for example, if you're
recording in 60 FPS, you can safely decrease
the quality to 30 FPS. Yes, it will look worse. But yeah, you can
safely do that. Upping the IPS is
not the best option because you basically don't have enough frames for the
upping the quality. For example. That means that if
you have 30 FPS, that means that you
will need to add another frame after
every single frame. And you don't have that frames. They're basically don't
have any pictures. So I want to add anything recorded there to basically just duplicate the frames and it
will not look that great. So I highly suggest that
you don't update the FBS, go down, but don't go up. And it's better to do to
record this exact frame rate. That it's better
to record exact, exact frame rate that it's better to edit and export in his frame rate that
you're recording. In my case it was 24 at PS. The next, There's
very important is the bit rate bedridden
betrayed basically is, well, how much information is passing through the
video every single second. And you have a few options. You can go with auto. You can go with custom
or we can go with VBA or BBR basically means variable betrayed me that different parts of the video will have different betrayed. Its swell, not bad, but sometimes it won't work, it won't work great
with the videos. If you have suddenly
somebody with dark parts, there's some salt on
the very bright parts, then both parts there
are properly exposed, but probably exports parts. We'll have a lot
more information that are completely dark on
completely bright parts. And so VBR might not
look that great. And if you still choose Go VBR, we can actually see
more information or VBR adjusted vitro, depending on the
complexity of each frame, you can select the
average quality across the entire video. You could go with
the high-quality, medium or low quality. This is the safer safest option. But I highly suggest you
to go with either auto. Auto is basically allowing
you to do the same betrayed that you have on your basically
your basic video. Like in my case, it is my arrow. It will be 17 cubic k bps
was Ms kilobit per second, or 17 MBPS, or 17 megabytes per second
working with Custom. And you can increase it
or you can decrease it. Now if you'll increase it, usually your quality
will not go up, your butt, your file
size will go up. But if you'll decrease it, your quality will decrease, but your file size
will decrease as well. This is basically what dictates your file
size at the end. This is what will dictate. For example, if you have, well, 30 minutes of footage and you have 17 megabits every second. At the end, it will be well, corresponding amount of size, basically 17 times or 60
and then times by 30. So this is a huge
file size at the end, if you just have this one, the size will become
half of that, but the quality will become
half of that as well. But because your quality may be, while there were high, to begin with, how theory, the quality they betray it
might not even look that bad. So this is the
important thing to experiment on to see
how it will look. If you upload on social media, your bitrate will
be down regardless. It will be cut down regardless. So you must be ready for that. For this video is
go for an auto. Last but not least, is
an audio sample rate. Again, in this case, it's very important to know what sample rates that you are recording in and
usually are capsules, majority of an audio recorded, I'd say either recorded photo
for 100 or 40 thousand. So this is the sample rates
that you need to be choosing. My cases were followed for 100. So this is the sampler
way that I chose. I can press Okay. And at the end, as you can see, because I know
exactly with an auto, exactly what my bitrate is, that reason it can calculate exactly what
will be the hand size. So now it's not
actually showing you that it's impossible to predict what size you have because we call it because it was on VBR and it does the software
doesn't know yet. We'll be ready to use
on every single frame. But in this case, because
it knows exactly what will be the sides and the
bitrate of the video. It can predict it clearly and independently in various me. So at the end, only to do just press start and
will export the video. That's all there is.
It's actually very, very simple thing
to do and very, very simple thing to achieve. And all you need to do
to see the quality of the video will just play around
and see what the quality, what quality will be the best way for you at the
end, that's all there is. You might think. You might, you might say, oh, we don't know the
answer. You don't owe. You didn't say which way is
the best quality, etc, etc. The best quality
is a qualitative. You will record in
the highest quality that you record in an old. You need to do just preserve
it and to preserve it, you will need to export it
at the highest betrayed. And preferably to go with
the two passing conic. That's what it is. If you
know what the precise answer, what will be the best quality
for exploiting its debt? Usually, the MOV has
the highest quality, but MOV would still be downgrade it to **** when you uploaded on Internet,
there is nothing. You can do that. All you
can do it just do your best in order to export
high-quality as possible. Well, this will be at
all about exploiting. And congratulations if you have done that will basically did, basically now you know all
the basis does morality and all the basics of the
weld, basic video editing. Any next section, we're
going to go with more into well deeper concepts of actual video editing and
how we can actually make your video as best as possible. Well, with as least
editing as you can get. And I'm gonna show you some
techniques that I'm using for my YouTube channels and
for this courses as well. And while i'm, I'm gonna see
you in the next section. See you there.
8. Introduction to Section: Hello and welcome to this
section of the course. And this section
will be all about the editing techniques
and how we can actually use these techniques
in the Mojave software. Of course, what you'll
learn in this section is basic principles
of video editing. And what are the things
that you need to focus on while you're
editing the videos. Mainly we are going
to focus on video and audio quality or other
how we can increase them. We're going to focus
on aspect ratios on the social media and
how we can actually adapt the video to the
different social medias, which is very important
in this day and age. You're also going to learn
a lot about video flows. Basically, the
speed of the video. You're gonna learn all about that tension flow and the
focus flow of the video. And what does those things mean? Of course, you're
going to learn more about in this section. This will be more advanced
things but don't want to do. It doesn't mean that it's
actual difficult things. It's actually very simple. All of those things
are extremely simple and can be implemented
right away. You don't need a years of
practice to implement it, and you don't need to complete
a film school or just create an entire movie in order to understand
what I'm talking about. If you follow this
section, well, you will be able to create a great videos right after that. So without further ado,
let's just get started and I'm gonna see you in the
next lecture. See you there.
9. Aspect Ratios & Social Media: Welcome to a bit more
advanced section. And in this section
we're gonna be talking about a bit
more advanced stuff. It's not necessarily the difficult stuff
about the virion, specifically mobile
video editing. But we're going to be talking about the things that you will actually be using in practice
and you'll be using a lot. In this lecture, we're going to be specifically talking about social media and how you
can actually optimize your videos for
different social media. And how we can actually make
it look as best as possible. And as it may I understood from the title of this lecture, we are going to be
talking mainly about aspect ratios and how
we can actually adapt. Different aspect ratios,
different social medias. But now let's just
jump to move Avi. You know, what we'll do
is I'm going to be using actually the footage from one of my previous
YouTube videos. And we're going to be, well trying to adapt it to
the vertical video or two, basically different
social media. So what we will do right
here is I'm gonna take and put this video right here. And as you can see, it is a regular let me just move
my face right here, as you can see, is
a regular video. It's laborious, 16 by nine, it's regular widescreen
video and upload on platforms like YouTube or maybe even upload them
platforms like Facebook, it will look okay because the aspect ratio there
is usually horizontal. It will not be a
problem by the way, by horizontal aspect ratio, I mean that like it's more wider at this side than
it is on this side. So this basically means the
horizontal aspect ratio. So this is basically 16 and this is basically
nine, sorry by four. Well, for writing, I'm
writing with my mouse, it's not the best way to write. This is basically what it is. 16 by nine is at this case. But if you, but some platform, some video platforms
are primarily using other aspect ratios
and usually it's either will be
different aspect ratio, it's a bit narrower or it
is a vertical aspect ratio. And right now we're
going to be touching up this topics and let's see how we
can actually adapt it to a different aspect ratios. Let's talk about a different
social media in this case. And you can actually
change effort Grocery by touching this button right here. This is the button that we are
going to be using and just press this one and you will
have actually a few options. There is four by
three TV or LinkedIn, which will transform it to
1280 by 960 resolution. Then there is an Instagram post or Facebook which will be
1020 by 1080 resolution. And this will be a square image. And then it is a nine by 60 resolution for
Instagram stories, IGTV or Tiktok,
this is basically the main resolutions
that you will be using. So just remember this, you are using either a
horizontal resolution, which is 16 by nine, or your square resolution,
which is one-by-one. Or you'll be using
vertical resolution, which is nine by 16. You will rarely
used four by three, very, very rarely
used four by three. I had suggested more
focused on one-by-one. Actually, using four by three
on Instagram will work as well because not all of videos and photos on
Instagram r squared, but yeah, you can actually
use this one as well, but remember that it will
make it a bit more wider. Four by three is let me show you how it actually will look like. As you can see on the top, it's actually it's
actually a bit wider on the top than
it is on the bottom. Let me show it like this. This right here is a bit
wider because this is four and this one is a bit narrower because
this is three. By three means basically
a four fractions. So we can actually put only
three fractions right here. And you can do
basically for a heads, it's an awful right
hand rail red writing, but it is what it is. It's just trying to explain
what I mean Right here. Four by three is not that great. So let's focus on one-by-one and let's see how
our video will transform. See immediately what's
the issue here? When you transform
your image into one by one or square
aspect ratio. You see the black bars
in Mojave software and you usually don't want
to have a black bars. You want to have full video, and unfortunately, you cannot have full
video without the crop. Crop means that you're losing some parts of the
video which will crop in and tried to fill out
it from the top to bottom. Right here, if you feel
like from top to bottom, we're going to lose some
of the parts right here. So basically this one will be the square that we are
going to be left with. It's not doing it automatically. How you can actually do this, and it's actually pretty simple. Let me just jump right
here for a second. Only to do is go to
your main effects. So you're managing and go to crop and rotate when he
got to press this one, actually it will automatically
crop it for you. Basically, what you see right here at this square right here, let me Morgan that this
square right here, this is where your actual
final image will look like. We'll press Apply right here. It will actually apply a
one-by-one aspect ratio. And as you can see, we lost
some parts from right here. This is where we lost
some parts of the video, but usually it's not that
important in this case. In my case, because I was already centered in the
video which worked fine. But for example, if
you are not centered, if your main focus or new, new universe is
not in the center, you can do is just move the center right
here just like that. And it will actually keep the
lines that just magnetize. For example, if you
are on the right side that you had just
moved right here, if the left side you can
read here in the middle, just move it a bit
and it will actually snap in there by itself. And that's it. Press
Apply, and that's it. Let me just play the video
right now with space. And as you can see, this is
how to actually look like. As you can see, it's okay. We are not losing a lot of details compared to 16 by nine, it's actually a bit narrower, but for Instagram,
it will look great. And the same thing will apply at the end with that nine by 68. If you've got to do
this, as you can see, the one-by-one crop
is still there. But we're losing a lot of well, real estate space right here. So I don't want to do this. We're going to go back to the
crop and let's delete this. We don't want this and
we're going to do it again. Let me just move my
face for you to see. Go to the crop and rotate. And as you can see, it
actually cropped it by itself. My face, my face is not the best looking here, but
this is how it looks. If you press Play, as you can see it pretty
well. It's not that great. It's a bit too large for well, for my taste, I would
not use it like that. I would prefer to record
it vertically like rude. You're seeing it right
now or I will just a bit further because this
is Louisville far better. In the video, I'm
sitting way too close. But this is how we can actually
create a vertical video. While other option that
you can actually do is you can actually create
some background videos. For example, my case, I have the game, but background video of
one of my game plays. And I can put it down right here on the bottom,
just like that. And as you can see, we
have it on the bottom. And what I can do instead is I can just take
my clip right here, go to the crop, the crop again. And I can just go and
make it a bit larger. I want more of the
space to be fit. But as you can see,
because we don't have anything right
here and right here, it will actually leave
the blank space there. But because we already have something underneath the
press play, what will happen? Well, it's certainly
nothing there, but why we have some
other videos right there? Well, because we
made one mistake. The video itself is still there. But if the disappear this track right here
and press play again, you will see that video
is actually still there, but it's actually way too small. Now we need to apply the same effect to
this video right here. We're going to go to
the crop and rotate this video and make it full
screen just like that apply. And when it will actually load, we're going to press play. And as you can see, the video is playing on the background there. So this is the gameplay video
playing on a background. Yeah, it actually looks much
better, much more food. And you can actually
do one more thing. You can actually blur
the background image. Do that, go and go to
Highlight income, still. Go to the blurred rectangle. Make sure that the
blurred rectangle is actually covering
well, anything. Well, that will be it. That's all that you need to do. And when you press play, the blurred background
will be there, the gameplay will
still be there. And you can do the
blurred background, but you can do alternatively the one more thing there
and we just hide for a, for, for a second. If you play this one, what
you can do alternatively is you can actually
move this track more. Else. You can just do right-click
this one and clone it. And as you can see
quoted on the bottom, and you can just select
the clip right here. Make sure that you select all the applied
effects go to Crop. And what you will do
instead is you will actually make it full size. Let me show you how you
can actually do this. Make it full size before it to cover the full frame, apply. And as you can see,
if you press Play, you will have a while, true of me talking
in the background. But you can do
alternatively as well, is you can select
the clip again, go to the highlighting
that's x2 o to a blurred rectangle
and make sure to cover everything with
a blurred rectangle. And that's basically it. If you press Play,
as you can see, this is how to actually look like black but
blurred background. And it looks swell pretty okay
And pretty cool this way, you can actually set up a different ways
of basically cup, transforming your
regular video nine by 616 in 16 by nine videos
into the vertical videos. And this way, you
will be able to actually achieve the effects of full-screen even while on
the different aspect ratios. And I've just made this
looks much better this way, then it would be just a regular
stretched out full image because this way you have a two additional space on the
top and the bottom. And on the social media like on TikTok and Instagram and
even on YouTube shorts, you actually don't have a
full space for the video. This space will be
covered by text, and this space will be covered by additional attacks as well. And it will be
your channel name, your profile name, or
the title of the video, or number of likes and
followers or things like that for the tiktok and for
the YouTube as well. So this space is, will
be fully covered so you don't even really
need everything there. So this is main space that
is viewable and watchable at this space will be free
and this matters the most. That's why you need to know
about the aspect ratios and you need to understand how
the aspect ratios work. Not a lot of people are
actually teaching about this. They just say, okay, stretch the video
or upload the video regular 16 by nine aspect ratio and it will look simply awful. So yeah, don't do that this
way. It looks much better. The key takeaway here is that everything that we
did here was nothing spectacular in it was not a
special effects from movies. All that we did
therefore to achieve the base effect is to duplicate
the video or to add an, another video on the back of our main video and just blur it. And that's what we
did and we just change the sizes
of these videos. That's all that we did change the sizes and just
duplicated the videos. That's all that we did. And other than what
else is left is simply cutting and just adjusting effects and edit the music
and things like that. It's extremely easy. You don't need to
be thinking about something very extensive and
very difficult in order to, in order to achieve
results like that. Well, this should be told this lecture and the
next lecture we're gonna cover more about
video and audio quality. So I'm gonna see you there.
10. Video & Audio Quality: Let's now talk about the actual quality of the
video and audio itself. Because video qualities, yes, people know that you need to
have a good video quality, but what people are
often overlooking is an audio quality and you
need to work on audio. If not on the same level, you must work actually
more on audio because people can offer a wealth or give the better
video quality, but bad audio quality,
they will not. It's just a fact, especially in social media, it's better to have
far higher quality. The individual called,
you might have a fourt ADP video with
an awful lighting, good audio, and people
will be watching them. Or you may have for cable
or eight KV already made, have an AK video wouldn't
offer microphone and we will just will not go more than few seconds into that. Now let's go back to move AVI and let's go
and try joke to me. Well, add some adjustments and I will teach you
how we can actually make your videos a bit better and just make them look a bit better in sounded
a bit better. We have the same video
from the previous lecture. I have everything. The same motor deleted
this track right here. It's not there anymore. And what we'll do right
now is we will actually enhance this video a bit more. It to be a bit
difficult to enhance because I actually record in HOG and children and antenna pigment is a bit more
difficult if you'll recall with a regular
color profile to be much easier for you. And if you don't know
what color profile is, you are most likely just recording an irregular
color profile. So just don't worry about that. We're going to try
to edit this one, and we are also going to try to edit this audio right here, the second audio, we don't
really need that because the second audio is
actually not being used. It's only used right here. It's used the on the
background blurred image. Now, what I'm going to do is I want to actually
jump on this side of the screen and I'm going
to show you what we are going to be doing
first things first, what drew me to be doing? Of course, throughout the
clip that you want to edit and then go
to the more tools. And then you will need to work on video and audio editing. You'll have this look when
you are going to get there. So this is where you will be doing majority of
your video and audio. I think I remember all the video and audio edits that
you will be doing. It will appear right here. This is the main thing. You don't need to go
with it again and again. In this menu, you will
need to be doing this only once when you are going
to add the effects. What we're going
to do right now is we're actually going to
go to the video ****, and we're going to do
the color adjustments, color adjustments that
you can actually do. And you have a few presets that will allow you to
give you Auto Contrast, O2 saturation, auto white
balance and magic enhance. We've touched briefly
those things when I was explaining the basics
of the interface. But in my case they will not work because they don't
work well with an H LG, while at least not with the color profile
that damage we're using. We're using this
camera right here. So what I will be doing
instead is I will be going to the manual mode or
manual mode allows you to edit everything manually. One thing that, again, nobody actually taught me when I was learning the
video taken myself. Well, I'm not I'm
actually self-taught, but still I didn't find out. Only found out
about this only way later when I was
editing my videos. And it's about white balance. For the ones who doesn't know
what white balance means. It's basically adjust
the color temperature of your overall video
to college temperature, meaning that whether it's
cold, neutral or warm, or to say it as
simple as possible, whether it is bluish color like regular color or the normal car, or whether it is an orangeish or ready to
glow reddish color. Orange red is warm colors. Bluish colors are called Carl colors and the white is
an actual neutral color. You, what you need to do
is you need to actually adjusted for the white color. That's what white balance means. The colors usually
are different because we are using a different
colored light bulbs, for example, what
you see right here, this is actually a warm
color and as you can see, it lights up my face
in a different way while the main guard, the world domain
light that I'm using is actually a white color. So it's actually gives
me more or less nature of color on my face more
or less. You cannot be. It's very difficult to get 100%, but it's very difficult
to get 100% accurate, but you can actually get this. What is white balance button? Do? It allows you to choose the white
point on your screen. And in my case, because I don't have any
white point on my screen, I cannot actually choose it. That's the thing that
I actually do it wrong because I know exactly what
white balance or do I need. I'm not using this
and how we can actually adjust
the white balance. So all you need to do
basically is to have anything that is where
literally white in the frame. But there are a lot of
special small paper like package a paper like
things that you can actually show it to the camera and you can wide
balance using that. Or alternatively in a very, very simplest way you
can do is just take. A paper and that's it. When you have it on a frame, just choose the
eyedropper right here. This eyedropper right here, and just select it and put
and selected the white paper. And it will adjust the white balance
basically automatically. And this is the simplest way that you can do and always suggest the
white balance if you don't want your
colors to look more bluish or more orangeish
or unless you, unless you want to go for
those colors, for example, or this right here
in this camera, I'm actually going for
a bit warmer colors because I prefer
to have this way. You can actually do
this in this way. Alternatively, you
can actually go without using
eyedropper and you can actually select it by selecting this temperature
engage right here. You can actually select this using this temperature,
temperature slider. For example, if you want
more colder colors, you can go down and
as you can see, it, it became more blue. Let's go to the a
bit more extreme for you to see how it
will actually look like, as you can see, just
went to very, very blue. And alternatively you
can go to the warm ones and it will go to the
very, very reddish colors. So let's go to the 0 right here. And let's go a bit warm. So let's go to two, and this gets very,
very little worms. Let's go with five
if you want more. As you can see, it's a bit
warmer and you know what, I want like something
like ten just for you to see how it
actually looks like. And yeah, as you can
see, it became a bit warmer every
everything in a picture. I don't want
something like that. So let's go with
the number five. Yes, it's a bit warmer
than it was, but not much. So this is the color
balance that you can actually set up for yourself. Next thing that you
need to work on is actually the brightness
of the image. And here it's a bit
difficult to work with because if your image, if your video was not
properly exposed, meaning that if
your video is not getting a proper
amount of light, you will lose details. For example, if your face
is overly bright anyways, and if you add more brightness, like you are going to
be losing details. Interface me that you will
not see the pores and the contour lines on the face and it might not look great, it will look very artificial. Just makes sure that you adjust your brightness and
everything else. Pretty careful. Let's
go with the brightness. You know what, I think the
image is EBIT way too bright. I'm going to decrease
the brightest of minus nine bit more, minus 26. Too dark, I'm gonna
go with minus 15. It's still too. Now, it's okay, it's
actually loaded. Now for the contrast. Contrast is actually
the difference between the brightest color of the image and the darkest
color of the image. And when the difference is 0, the image is completely gray. And I'm going to show
you that what contrasts like minimum contrast means, as you can see, it's
almost completely gray. There is very little difference between the brightest and
darkest parts of an image. As you can see, these
are just a bright parts and these are the dark
parts and they are very, very close to each other and
that's what the contrast is. Well, awful. You don't want to have
something like this. Let's go to the 0 here. If you want to add
more contrast, Let's go with ten. By the way, let me show
you the other extreme. They've worked full contrast. As you can see, there
are born more look very different parts right here. That white part look very white
and black parts look very black and you don't
want to be the case. Let's go and I'm gonna go
with something like four. You know what, Let's
add a bit more. I think ten will be okay, but we're actually losing
some details already. As you can see an a background, we have way too dark and the face is becoming
way too bright. You need to pay really close attention to
things like that. And you know what, let's
go with a bit lower. Let's go with maybe
three because we already decrease the
brightness and we don't want it to be just way too
dark. I think that's okay. We are actually having
a good contrast. Now the next thing
that you will need to pay attention to
is the saturation. Saturation is basically how
wide vibrant the color. Let's go to the
minimum saturation to see how it
actually looks like. Minimum saturation.
Saturation is actually black and white. If you want something like
that, you can do that. If want a little more, you're going to have
a little more color, as you can see in a
background like the image, it has a little more color and a shirt has a
little more current, not by much, but still
there is something. And if you go with 069, as you can see, we
have more color there. And as you get closer to one, you have the color back. What you need to do
is just add a little, just a very little more saturation because
saturated images, a little more saturated
images look a bit brighter than they should be. They look a bit better. But be sure to, be very sure to not overdo
the saturation because overdoing saturations
will actually lose you some details
how it happens. As you can see right here, we have a very bright
blue spots and we have very bright
purple spots. These colors are bright anyways, and you can see it's
here and it's here. But when they become saturated, they got their car
color would bleed over into other neighboring pixels
and neighboring colors. And it will just make the, make them lose the details. And we don't want to do that. As you can see, I'm
going to go with an extreme example.
And as you can see. Like the color red
for my nose is actually bleeding not
all around the nose. And it just makes it look not that great for some
bit might look good, but in reality
it's not as guest. You see how much details
you are losing right there. And let me just go back to a little less saturation
for you to see how many, how much details there
are, as you can see, like the mountains that
are actually quite detailed with the
lower saturation, but you are losing a lot of detail in the
highest saturation. So make sure that you are
going something like this. Let's go with a little more. 039. Yeah, it looks okay. It's pretty good. It can't go the same thing with the highlights,
gamma and shadows. Highlights and shadows
actually controls the separately darker or
brighter or the mid parts. Mid colors of the image.
Basically, the bright parts are the cars that
are closer to white. The mid parts are colors
that are closer to gray. And the black parts
are the kilowatt with the shadows are basically the colors that are
closer to black. If you decrease the
highlights completely, uh, you are losing basically
all the bright spots, like the darkest spots, are not touched to that large, but the bright spots
are so you're losing a lot of color there
and a lot of detail. What I'm gonna do is I'm
going to make it a bit less bright because I wanted to lose some details right here because a bit overexposed, a little bit, not by a lot, but still it's overexposed. Then I can go and increase more shadows
because I want to make, to make shadows a bit bright. It's too much. I'm going
to go to 15 right now. And as you can see, your
shadow has got a bit brighter now entire image
got a bit brighter. And with the gamma
you can actually, I'm going to show what it
looks like completely top gamma, complete bottom gamma. And you are just losing a lot of details
in the mid tones. And we don't want to do that. You can actually add a little
bit of gamma and let's just see how it will look
like to get our image, overall image a bit darker. Now, it's just way too darker. 115. Yeah, it looks pretty okay. Make sure that at the end, if you don't like the overall
brightness of an image, you can actually
set up everything through the brightness again. Again, everything right here, everything where he
is purely subjective. It's purely subjective. It's all about the
looks that you want to make it look basically for the entire color grading is a completely
different science. It's not even, it's not even video editing
and the colorist is completely
separate profession. It's not the video editor
is not doing color grading, usually in professional
fields at least. But yes, you do because you are, you don't will not have
a dedicated colors to, most likely will be
doing it yourself. And last but not least,
that I want to talk about is actual tint. Tint is basically
allowing you to change overall tint of
the color because some light bulbs
can have a tint. And TTD can be either
British or purplish. And you can actually set, add a purple tint if you want. And this is how it look
like at the grocery store and this is how it
will look like. You don't want any of
those. So let's go to 0. Because my light bulbs are
actually properly adjusted. There is a little bit of green tint like a
very, very little. So I'm gonna go with minus one and let's see if it
will actually fix that. It actually did a little bit. Yeah, that's actually how we can actually adjust
the video quality. And as you can see,
the video looks pretty good and pretty okay. But now we're going to go
into more important one, and this is an audio. Make sure that you
have still selected the same clip or
you can actually select it all you
separately if you want, and go into audio editing audio, you have a bunch of
additional subsections. And the easiest subtraction
for you to work, it just uses sound
auto, correct? You can do enhance the voice recording
and already plays or a recording studio. And what they do is
they actually add a few sound effects from here together just for you
to not add them separate. For example, if I go with an enhanced audio regard
has watch recording, you will see that
nothing will happen. It's like nothing happened. But if you go right here into the clip properties
and light effects, there is actually some
clips and it actually edit noise removal,
equalizer and compressor. Nozzle mole basically tries to remove all the additional noise. Usually I do not suggest you to use that because it
makes the volume of voice very teeny ear and makes
it look like it's swell. May record it artificially. And it's better to
record in a quiet place because no amount of noise removal will remove
every noise from your video. For me, audio equalizer
actually allows you to well add some colorization to
different frequencies. And the compressor, basically, what we talked is actually
allows you to just impress your sound a bit to not
make it clip way too much. So I highly suggest
you to go and use like equalizer
compressor here, and this is how we can
actually use that. Or alternatively, what
I suggest you to do more is go and add equalizers, nausea, moles, noise
gates and compressors, and even operations if you want artificial yourself or manually, for example, go with
an equalizer and make sure that you're going to go with the voice enhancement. And now when you are
going to listen to it, it will well basically enhance your voice and it
will be applied in a clip properties so we can see where it just press
it to get there. And the same with the noise
removal and noise gate. I don't suggest you
to go with an origin. It's basically a
noise suppression. Don't go with this one, but just test it out and
maybe to work well for your environment and maybe
it will sound better. Noise gate is
actually pretty good. We have a lot of
silences in your clips. And while you're just staying quiet for some time and you don't want this
background noise. There's humming noise of an air conditioner
or a computer, or maybe even a window. Or maybe you have
a window open in their birds chirping or
met their cars are moving. If you don't want the sound
to go through a microphone, you can actually adjust
the noise gate and when basically you're
not speaking and when the overall
noise volume will go, in this case, lower
than minus 18 decibel. The microphone will completely
shut off that microphone, the audio Welcome
to the shot off, and it will not be there and
it will not be hearable. That's such a pretty good thing. Compressor, add compressor here. Usually the defaults were to work pretty well, pretty well, and you can actually adjust some additional settings again, play around to make it
sound as good as possible. Reverberation is
basically adding the reverb you don't really need that organization is actually a very powerful option as well. You have a multiple
cameras recording and all of them have their own
microphones and they're recording the same thing and
you just want to sync them all on one top of each other and maybe cut
from one to another. You can just select
your clip for this and two and just press
synchronize and to actually stick them together
and beat detection. Yeah, if you're doing
montages, this only there. Again, make sure for an audio
that you use equalizer, you use a noise gate and compressor as for the
other effects, yeah, you don't really need that
unless you want to have something like
additional effects like the echo or muffled, or adding the pitch or
making sound like a robot. This is all, again, all artistic choices
that you want to make. And it will not really
affect the quality to affect the story that you're
telling through your videos. Overall, getting good
audio and video quality is actually not that difficult. And I'm not going
to be lying to you. If you want a really
good video quality as high for video
quality as possible, the only really
good and viable way is to record it with
a good quality. By record, I don't mean expensive cameras,
even though it helps. Expensive cameras
actually explicitly, expensive lenses
actually really do help and know what that don't
let anyone tell you that. Oh, it's not about the camera
cameras that I ported. Now it is important.
However more important is the
lighting itself, like how the camera is lit. Because modern even phones are working exceptionally well, even when the conditions are well-lit and just make sure that you have the
welded conditions. Because if the video is recorded in a bad way and there
is like underexposure, overexposure and a
lot of pixel ladies, lot of pixels and a
lot of quality losses. No matter how great the video takes off juries and
how great editor is, it will be practically
impossible to restore data because
if there is no data, because with a low quality, there is no data to
restore it because there's no data to work with just to make
sure that you're recording it in a good way. The same for an audio. If you are recording in
an environment with air conditioning blasting
into microphone or car running or background, or people screaming and shouting the microphone will pick it up. Doesn't really matter. What will work backbone you are using eight,
we'll pick it up. Some microphones,
expensive, mindful, not like this ones for example, like this, ensure microphones. They are picking glass, background and outside noise, but there are still doing that. There's no matter don't think don't think the $1000
microphone will have there. It will help a bit,
but not by much. Yet. We want to back forth. Just be sure that
you're recording in a quiet environment
while you are alone if you want to record content with a good
audio quality. So this will be
for this lecture. In the next lecture, we
will be talking more about an actual story of
an egg video, I think, and what you actually need to focus on while you're
doing it editing the main focus and main techniques that tricks that I actually use it myself. And I'm gonna show you an example of my videos. So
I'm gonna see you there.
11. Video Flow & Proper Cutting: Welcome to our video flow and
the proper coding lecture. And this is probably one of the most important lectures of this entire course
because here I'm going to be actually
showing you more of the practical and
advanced thing that you can actually use in order to properly cut your videos. And this information
that I'm going to give to you in
this lecture is extremely important and
most importantly is very, very, very, very,
very simple thing. If you followed all of
the previous lectures carefully and thoroughly, you already know
exactly what to do in order to edit
videos properly. And if you don't, you basically don't understand what
video aging mean. Don't worry, this
is exactly what I'm going to explain
in this video. So the key point, the key point here that
I'm trying to convey here is that video
editing is simple. If you look at it in a simple
way, if you're interested, what do you need in order to actually properly
edit good videos, especially if you're
talking about YouTube videos, social media. So things like that where you don't need
anything complicated. You need to know cutting. This is the first thing,
the simplest thing at the most basic thing that you can need mobile software, it is framing, basically
zoom in or zoom out thing. It's extremely simple as well, basically that we did here, where we zoomed in on
our face basically, whereas zoomed out
the background phase and zoomed in the foreground. This is basically it.
Last but not least, is adding additional footage. It's basically
adding the music and adding additional Bureau
on top of the video. Or you can say that
the background video, the ones that is right here, It's basically a B-roll. How you can actually
make your videos good. What do you need to pay really close
attention in order to make your video and think
good or as great as possible. The first concept
that I want you to understand very well
before anything else. The video Flow. Video flow is basically how fast you are conveying
information through videos. And I'm gonna show it
to you or based on the example of one
of my own videos, I'm going to run it in the
VLC player right here. I just played, as you can see, like talking in the video, you don't here, don't
worry about that. But as you can see, I continuously
talk and I don't stop. And then there is
another footage, and then there is my footage, then there is my speech. I'm just going to
quickly go through them. And as you can
see, I don't stop. You don't see any points where I stop or slow down
or edges continue. And that's what the
video flow means. That means that the one you
choose speed of your video, it should be consistent throughout the entirety
of your video. If your video slow, it should be
consistent this law, and if you're really fast, it shouldn't be
consistently fast. Now let me explain
on another example. Let's say you're watching
it a running tap water. When you open a tab, the water is coming in. Sometimes it comes fast,
sometimes it comes slow. Sometime they're on a
few drops coming out. Sometimes it's like a lot of water. They will not feel okay. You told feel like something is off the same with
the video editing. You should cut your
videos properly in order to make it look good
by cutting properly, I mean that you're a flow of speech however you are
talking right now, it should be the same
throughout the entire video, you can slow down
or speed up for the moments where you
are making the point. For example, right now, where I significantly decreased
the speed of my speech. I know it's now more understandable right now
because I do really speak way too fast and it's
very difficult for people to understand
it is what it is. But by changing its speed, it's not actually divert your attention to
something else in diversity addition to
the speed of speech, and it takes away their
attention from the video itself. You don't want it to do that. And for that reason, you need to be cutting your videos properly. And for that reason, we want to cut out
all the dead air and things like that that I talked about in one of the
previous videos. For example, if I zoom in right here and if I go
to the beginning, as you can see, we have a lot, a lot, a lot of slow points and very big gaps and
things like that. If I press Play right now, you won't hear
this because yeah, you don't need to hear this. As you can see by
basically clapping. And then I just sit
down and just correct, maybe you're then I
just say something and then I just stop and
think about this stuff. Let me just uncovered
in my face. Then I say something, then I
think that I say something, then I stop and I say
something, then I stop. Imagine if I uploaded
a video like that. Imagine if my lectures
where anything like that, it would not feel good at all. You would not want
to watch this video. You will not even stay for the first ten or 15
seconds of this video. And ten or 15 seconds
of the video is. But the maximum amount of time, or sometimes rare case
in thirty-seconds, is the maximum amount
of time that you have in order to grab
attention of your viewer. And if you miss the chance, then the chances missed. And for that reason, you need to be cutting your
videos properly. Your question might be, how you can actually
cut this video while I actually showed you in one of the previous videos. In order to cut the
videos properly, you just need to find the place where you would want to leave. And for example, I want to leave this entirety
of this part. And then as soon as it's over, as soon as it's over,
I don't even need to listen to it as
soon as it's over. Make a cut, make sure that I'm selecting the both of them. They could God,
because I want to make cuts on both. Chilled. Didn't select make a cut. And then to the point where I
want my speech to continue, for example, I know that these are actually
some mistakes. I'm going to go right here
and make another cut. Then what I will do, I'm gonna go and select, let me zoom out a bit these
two points and press Delete. Now the parts that is well
ruining the flow is gone. And that's basically all
do that we need to do. This is the most important parts that you need to remember
about video editing. I cannot stress enough
how many times that I've seen videos on YouTube or on social media platforms where
they're living even the slightest ums and
ahs or even very, very, very tiny pause after they say something and we're another pause
before they in something. And he just did not feel right because it just
completely wrecks the flow. It's like using a punctuation. You are mainly using
commas in your videos. Imagine that you're using
commas and if you are, pause is way too big, is basically a full
stop when ammonia using a full stop in the
middle of the sentence. It does not feel right
because sentence, because the full stop is
meant to end the sentence. So if it's in the middle of it, that means that
everything before that is a separate sentence and everything after that
is separate settlers. And it does not make any sense. And that's why subconsciously
viewer feels uncomfortable. When they are feeling
uncomfortable watching the video, they click off and
watch something else. We are in an attention
industry right now. If you cannot retain an industry more than anyone
else, you are losing. Oh, you cannot actually
allow small things like that to divert attention of
people from your video. Make the cuts and make
the cuts in the way that sounds and looks natural compared to
everything else. Like if I zoom in right here, as you can see in my
regular speech right here, I have some pauses. I have some pauses, and I have some peaks and
valleys right here and there. There are some stuff
like, as you can see, there are some values right
here in my natural speech. Even right here,
even right here, I make some pauses
between the words. So this one does not
sound and look that big. Let me play it for
you right now. So you would see an axial cut
is going to see and jump. There is a jump right here. Let's press it again
so we do actually see it from this angle. Jump. There is a big job. Yes, you will in some
jumps in a video itself, but if the jump is not big in an audio and
if it sounds okay, it is okay to have a jump cuts. You don't need to use trends. You don't need to
use transitions. For example, if I will use a
transition to the gradient, Let's see how it looks like. You have seen now our speaking and for some reason I
started blurring out and then just blurred out and just went to some kind
of ghostly effect. It does not look good. You might think that
because you added an additional work and you added some additional effort
and show that edit some additional thing
In should be better. But it's not, it's actually not, you actually need to put less effort here than
in anything else. That's what you should
be thinking about. This, just doing the
cutting of your videos properly is like
90% of the video. I kid you not, It's 90% of the video and that's what you should be doing in the
mobile view software, in any video editing
software to be fair. But just make sure that your entire flow of
speech sounds like very, very stable easily if it's bad, if it's fast, it
should stay fast. If it's slow, it
should stay slow. Just don't make, just
don't put pauses and, and thinking and things that
do not make sense if you are thinking in your videos and it is making some
point like For example, I'm doing it right now. You don't need to cut
it out. As you can see. As you can see, I made a pause right now and I
didn't need to cut it out. If I cut it out yet, it
would look okay steel but if I left it
and I left it here, it looks okay as well
because it makes the point. And in 90% of the ALU cases, it doesn't just make sure, make sure that you're cutting
your videos properly. This is very important. Police, police, police
learn the cutting first and learn how to make
your videos flow properly. If you don't have any
speech in your video, you want it's still
flow properly. Then you need to find something that will dictate
the flow of the video. Usually if you don't
have any thing to say in your video when
there are no speech, then you can use music to
dictate the flow of the video, basically how fast
the music is going. You need to use a bit
detection by the way, which movies actually
providing to you go to audio editing and
use the beat detection. And to actually detect
the bits in the music, basically where you can have
to put this scene changes. This is basically what
will dictate the flow of the video is an example you can think of any movie trailer. They are actually using music as their flow
basically indicator. So you can use that as well. It's simple thing. We'll make 90% of your video. Trust me, if you don't, you
will not even add any music. If you will not add any bureau
and if you'll sit down, just talk in front of the camera and it will cut it properly. This will already constitute
into a good video. But in the next lecture we're
going to learn some very, very basic and very simple
things to make you, to make your good videos into great videos with
the minimal effort. So I'm gonna say it
our next lecture. See you there.
12. Attention & Focus Flow: In this lecture, I
want to touch up one very important point and it is actually a bit more difficult than in the
previous lecture, but it's actually
very, very, very easy. It's much less tedious
than you think. And it's much less
serious than you think. And with this method, you will actually make
your videos much, much better without actually putting a lot of your efforts. So let's actually talk
about attention flow and focus and an explanation of
the video editing actually briefly touched about
attention flow and focused and what your main function
of the video editing is. The main function
of the video team is control the
flow of the video, the flaw of annotation and
the flow of the focus. Basically, you are
controlling where your viewer is watching
and what they are See, you are achieving this method through a different
meets an example. Let me switch to my
previous screen. What you see right
now is basically, well my screen and my face. But if I want, if I want your attention to be well diverted into
some other place, what I use in my case is this. I use these two right here
to just show you like okay, look at this, look at this, look at this, look at this. I basically use my mouse
arrow to T2 world. Divert your attention. You can do the same thing
with the video editing. Yes, we can do exactly
the same thing. But look at this right now, look at this thing right here. Did you look there and did
you see what I did there? It's not a video editing. I actually, I'm doing
this in camera, but you can do the same
thing in the video. I think what I did
right here is I transfer I transferred
my face cam from here to here to show you that
there's actually happening something right there that I don't want to cover
with my face. And immediately, you shifted your gaze from this
spot right here, this spot right here. And as you can see,
what I'm doing right now is I'm diverting
your attention. I am dictating the
attention flow and where you should
look right now. You're looking at me because I am the only thing that is
happening on the screen. Everything else still is there. But you are looking at me
the same thing right here. You are looking at my face, even though there is
the room around me, there is a light behind me. There's variety in front of me. There is a microphone in
front of me who are still looking at me or you were looking at the
light right now or another light which
you don't see right now but or at the microphone. And as you can see, I was
diverting your attention what I could do as well in order to
divert your attention. When I said look at the light, I could zoom in into the light, or I could zoom in on a microphone or I could
zoom in on my face. That's what I could do. And this small attention in small details actually
allow you to divert flow. And what's most important, it will allow you to reset
the attention of your viewer. Now, let me explain
what do I mean by reset or by resetting the
attention of the viewer, you see the attention
span of individuals, of any individual if everyone is becoming shorter
and children, and usually it's pretty short. And that overall
attention flow of individual is somewhere
between five to ten seconds. That means that if something
will not change or something interesting
is not happening within the flow of
five to ten seconds, person is losing the interests. Interests is going down. It doesn't mean that
if something good is not happening within
the ten seconds. So I'm living the video. No, But overall, attention
and interest is decreasing when it will reach a
critical level could call low-level and it's different for every single
individual they lose. You'll just leave the
video because it does the person stay
thinks that he's not getting something
that he was looking for in the video or sheet
doesn't really matter. And with this things that I showed you right
now, for example, right here, I just showed you this place right here or there just moves around on
this face right here. I'm actually resetting
your attention because I'm changing the scene, not by much, but enough for
you to divert your attention. When you are looking
at the video. You are not looking at a single
central point right here. You're not looking at here. You are looking all
around the face. Your eyes are moving sometimes. Sometimes it's right here,
sometimes right here, sometimes it's right
here, sometimes it's here, sometimes right here. As you can see, your
eyes are moving around. More your eyes are moving, but not too much more
your eyes are moving, the more attention is resetting. But you need to be very
careful with that as well. Because if you're receiving attention way too fast
and way too much, individual is losing
interests as well. That's why I said
five to ten seconds, not 0 to ten seconds. If it's shorter than
the five seconds. If for some people with
shorter is three seconds, it's becoming exhausting because because the person who is not able to see what is happening, if I would just move my
face from here to here to here to here to
here and here and here to here to here to here. It's coming exhausting and annoying because you
are not able to see. Just follow my face
really quickly. I know it's annoying.
I'm sorry about that. But you are not just able
to follow my face and see what it is and it's becoming exhausting and you don't want
to watch the video anymore. That's what you should not do. What you should do is when when it's happening
something, for example, when something is happening
behind my face right here, while there's nothing
happening behind my face. But you actually look
there because yeah, it's sparked the interests
there as I did previously. And I'm sorry for that. You actually reset
your interests. Us actually reset
your interests. And well, you'll
continue to watch the video because it
gives you the feeling that you are engaged and
you are actually doing something yourself within
the video and more engaged, you are, more, you
think that you are actually doing
something in the video, the more interesting the video is becoming for you as a viewer. But now you need to do is
same thing as a editor. So that's the very interesting and very cool part
that you can do. And as you can see it right there was not
anything difficult. I was just moving my frame
or around the plates. Yes, I'm doing that in
the different software. I'm using desk in a live
streaming software, not the video editing software, but you can do same thing in the video editing
software tool. Let me just move my face right here and let me
just turn this off. And let's just say we want to, let's say move my face. But like for example, this phase from one place to another. Remember in the previous videos were to apply the
effects of a crop. So it can just go and apply
effects or off the crop. What I can do is it can actually make and corrupt
this way too much, just, just like that. And I can just move it this
way, right here, its place. And when the video is playing,
I'm gonna do it like that. I just move there and let's
just remove the transition. I talk about something,
then it moved back. And also we can actually
do this a different way. You could actually do this way that overlays, for example, I can take my face and apply a picture in
picture on this one. And as you can see, it's
right there and I can just move around my face. For example, I am right here, let just say something and then I can make a
cut right here. But hopefully you
can see let me well, my face right there. Then from here in this spot, I'm going to select this one. Go to effects again by
defects and touching picture. Make sure you're
selected this one and then I can move
it right here. And this is how it
will look like. Let me just press play. Or what does that makes sense here for this
video right here. But yes, overall, it's the same method
that you'll be doing. Just press play
and mature there. Yes, I'm actually not optimizing my videos plus I'm
recording at the moment. So it's actually, it's actually will be
very laggy for me. Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I'm actually doing with running a few software
at the same time. And that's why it's,
it's so laggy. That's the point you are moving your face from one
place to another. Now let me show you
another example or another one of my videos, one of my YouTube videos that
I use when I press Play, I'm gonna go somewhere
new clothes. I talked in the video, I did this just regular talk. Where does I'm just
going to discuss some things that
need to jump cut. Then it goes to the other
part of the gameplay. Now I wanted to show you one
thing that I do very often. It will actually
allow you to see. I don't remember
exactly where it is. I think it's had been standing. I'm using it in the
beginning. Yeah, right here. As you can see in
the very beginning, I just zoomed in right there. As you can see right here,
I talked about something, then I made a point
and as you can see, it's already zoomed in a bit, it's already, but my
face a bit bigger. That's another thing
that you can do. For example, when
you say something and this something
is very important, you can just zoom
in into your face. Not right, not like that, but you can just zoom in into your face and that's
going to be at, that means that you're
making a point. And that's basically
subconsciously means that listen
closer and you're basically getting
closer to the viewer to say something that's basically what you're doing
with your editing. You can use the simple
techniques like that. This way you are
actually controlling. You end up with all
of these combined. You're actually controlling your attention flow and focus. Let us now recap. What
do I mean by that? What is attention
flow and a focus? Focus basically allows the
focus you actually the controlling where your
viewer is actually looking. Whether the viewer is looking right here or we're
looking right here, or looking right
here with this tool, or you're looking right here, or right here or right here. It's basically
diverting the focus of the viewer where the
viewer should look, but with an attention flow, Here's a controlling how
long you are staying on the same frame before something will change
in front of you. And you are changing this
constantly in order to reset, in order to reset
attention as often as possible without
overdoing it. Because again, overdoing it
will exhaust the viewers. And as you can see, every
single one of those things is pretty easy to
do in mobile view. And you can actually
do it and use it for your own good there, I guess this will
be, I hope it was simple enough and let's wrap
this up in our next lecture. See you there.
13. Conclusion: You've done it. Congratulations, you
are a true winner and you've gone through the
entirety of the course. Now you know everything
that you need to know about the mobile
video editing software. And as you can see, the
software is extremely simple to use for
any one who has even never done any
video editing because of its affordability and its
usability for many things, this might become your
go-to video editor. Remember here the key here is simplicity and
approachability. And for 90% of you who
are doing the video, I think for social media
or things like that, you won't even need any more
complicated things because more complicated options
in a video editor software might become overwhelming
very quickly here. Well, it won't because it's just way too simple and way
too easy to understand. I hope you learned a
lot in this course. And again, if you have any questions about anything that we've talked
about in this course, or maybe even things that we didn't discuss
in this course, do not hesitate to
reach me directly, and I will gladly answer every question that you have well distributed
for this course, we have a bunch of
other courses as well that you can take a
look at my profile. Thank you for taking
this course with me. I'm very proud of you
that you are here and I hope to see you in
one of our future courses, CIA and take care.
