What is Openshot and Why Choose it?: All right, so in this class, we are going to look at what is open shot video editor, and what are some of the features that you should consider when choosing Openshot as your own video editor. So the first thing that we need to understand is that Openshot is a free and open source video editing software that allows you to create and edit videos with ease. Okay? It has a simple and intuitive user interface, very easy to use a powerful video engine, okay, a powerful video engine, and a wide range of features and effects. So open source is available on Windows, Mac and Linux operating system. So here are my top ten reasons why you should choose Openshot as your own video editor in this 2024. So the first reason is that we have the cross compatibility issues, okay, which means you can use Openshot on Windows, Mac, Linux, and even on Chrome operating systems, o, which gives you the flexibility and convenience to use it anywhere, Okay? So another reason could be that it is open source, which means it is available for use and it is free to use, very good to use, especially for creators who are on budget, okay? It is open source, which means you can use, you can share content from it. You can re share also with your friends, and you will not have any copyright issues. You don't have to pay anything. You can always download it and install. I will show you how to download and install it in this very tutorial. Another one is we can talk about the timeline editing, right? You can edit your videos on a timeline where you can drag and drop content or clips and then trim them, you can cut, you can slice, and you can mix them as you want. Okay? So you can move them around and do all sorts of editings which I want to show you through. Okay? It uses timeline editing. And then we talk about video preview now, Openshot has this advantage over other video editing software in that you can see the effects of your editing in real time on a video preview. Okay? As you're editing, you don't have to wait until you export, or you render export a video before you can see its effect. Okay? You can see it in real time as you are doing the editing, o where you can also adjust them if there's need. Okay? So you can always adjust if you see the need to make adjustments. Other reasons could be the keyframe animation feature, which means you can create custom animations for your clips using keyframes, such as zooming in and out, panning in and out, rotating and scaling things and more. Okay? You can do a lot of key framing, which we're going to cover in this same tutorial. And then we talk about audio editing, you can edit sound of your videos using an advanced audio editing tool, which is embedded in Openshot and you can adjust the volume, add fd in and fade out effects, okay, mix multiple tracks together and many more things. But you have a lot of control it comes to audio editing, okay? Adding music and sound effects. I'm going to show you how to add background music, sound effects, and even where to get them from copyright free sources. All right? Another reason could be that we have the chroma key or green screen removing feature. So with open shot, you can remove background of your video. I replace it with another image or another video using the Kromer key or Greenscreen feature. It's very easy. I'm going to take you through through the same tutorial. And then we talk about the three D animation effect. You can create stunning three D titles and even effects for your videos using the TD animation feature, such as the flying text, the snow, the lens flares, the lens flares and many more, right? So we're going to explore some of them, and then we talk about some of the most important, which is the video export. Okay, so within Openshot, you can export your videos in various resolutions and formats using the video export feature. You can export in MP four, MOV, the WebM, and many more. You can choose different kind of formats and you can export your videos from it. And the last one is I always like to talk about the transition feature of Openshot transitions, we can have special effects like transition, filters, animations, titles, and effects. You can enhance your videos with a variety of transitions, filters, animations, titles and effects that are available in Openshot. So I'll show you how to use some of these features to enhance the looks and use of your editings within open shot. Overall, I can see that Openshot is a versatile and powerful video editing software that you can use, and it can help you create professional looking videos for any purpose, okay? Regardless, you name it, it can help you. Whether you want to make a tutorial or a presentation or a documentary or a movie, Openshot can handle it all, okay? Try it and see it for yourself. So in this tutorial, we're going to cover everything as you get the open charts. And for the purpose of this tutorial, this is the version that we're going to use throughout this tutorial. So at the time of this recording, this version is released on April 20, 2023. So you can check out if you have the later version. I think the changes may not necessarily be that much. For this tutorial, we are going to use the Mac operating system. The process is nearly the same for Windows and Linux. But for this, we're going to use MAC operating system. This concludes this class about what is open shot and why we should choose open shot as our video editor. In the next class, we are going to look at how to download and install open shot within our operating system. Until next time, thanks for watching and I look forward to seeing you in the next class. Bye. 3. Downloading and installing Openshot: Now, in the last class, we talked about what is open shot and what are some of the benefits we stand to gain if we use OpenshotO why you should choose Openshot in general. And in this class, we are going to look at how to download and install open shot within our system. Okay? Like I said, this time around, I'm going to use Mark operating system. So we're going to download and install open shot on my Mark operating system a PC. Right.

In the next class, we are going to look at how to open and create a project within Openshot video editor. Until next time, thanks for watching and I look forward to seeing you in the next class B. 4. Opening and Creating a Project: All right, so in the last class, we've learned how to download and install open shot software. And in this class, we are going to look at how to open Openshot and create a project. Okay, so to open Openshot, you can come down to the launch pad over here. You can see can just move around or you can search for Openshot Okay. And you can see it over here. Open short video editor, click on it, and it's going to open the software for you. Alright? So the first time when you open the software, this is what you'll be welcomed with is a very easy and very simple software that you can see directly. So once you open it, this is what you'll be welcomed with. The first thing you need to notice is that at the top here, you have an untitled project, untitled project, which means this project is not named, and the defaults in high definition 720 P, and it's on 30 frame rate per second. Now, the first thing we need to do is to change the frame rate or the settings of this project. To do that, you can come all the way over here to this cred profile or you can click on Choose profile. And over here, you'll be able to define which profile you want to do. So you can see the default is HD 720 and 30 frame rate. But this is not what we want, so you can just go ahead and select which one you want. We can say we want full HD. Let's do one I use 30 frame rate per second, 1920 by 1080. That's the 16 by nine satins that we are going to use. So you can click on Okay, you can see right now it's been adjusted to ten ATP, 30 frame rate per second, and it's in full HD. Now, the next thing is to create this project. We have to change this and give a project a name. Now, to create a project, you can come steal to the top. You can come to file and you can see save project, and then you can be able to save the project directly. So you can select on this and name your project to, for example, my edits. My edits, and then you can define the location where you want to save it. I want to save it in this folder at my desktop. You can just go ahead, my edit and just click conceive, and then I have my project saved. The next thing that you may want to understand is the view of the entire canvas, the view of the entire platform. Now, this is the default view, which is very okay. If you want to keep it at this, I'm going to explain to you what are the key features and general overview of the platform of Openshot. But for this class, I'm just going to show you how to change the view also added to the fact that you created a project. Let's learn how to change the view of the entire open shot software. So to change the view, you can still come to the top. You can see view here can come to the views, and you can see we have the simple view this view as it is right now, it is a simple view. But if you want to go to the Advanced view, you can just click on Advanced View, and we just one click. You can see it has adjusted everything. And you can click, you can move. You can adjust the length and width of everything. You can see right now, we're going to explain some of these features and what is where and why is it here. You can see we have s and transitions and many more, and we have the time which we are going to explain in detail in the next class. I think this concludes this tutorial on how to open open shot as a fresh project, create a project, and even adjust the views within Openshot. Hope you enjoy this video. In the next class, we are going to look at the general overview of the Openshot platform. What is what and why it is there? What are some of the features that you need to understand before you start using Openshot. Until next time, thanks for watching and I look forward to seeing you in the next class. Bye. 5. General Overview of the Platform: Alright, so in the last class, we talked about how to create a project from Openshot. And in this class, we are going to look at the general overview of the open shot software platform. So the first thing you need to understand is that once you open your open shot, you will have the view. In the previous class, we've seen we've changed the view to this look. Okay? You have the option to play around with the different features. You can extend and reduce the size. The first thing you see to the left is the properties panel. This is where you can see the properties of all of the features that you have in the timeline. Over here, you have the project files. You can import all your media. This is where you can dump them, and they may include videos, audios, and images accordingly, and you can filter them depending on what you are looking for. And over here, you can show transitions. These are different kind of transitions that you may have. You can add them during your editing. Are common transitions that you have used or that most people use. These are popular transitions. And down here, you have the option to check in the EmoGis. These are different types of MoGs that you can use in your content. You can just drag and drop them, which we are going to cover in this tutorial. We're going to look at how to use some of them. And they are classified according to different types. So you can show all from here, these are all you have activities, you can show different type of activity related things like football or sports or related things. And you have extras. If you want to use extras, you can have different kind of shapes. If you have foods that you're interested in, you can see them. They are classified accordingly. Okay, you have symbols, and so on. So depending on what you want to create, you can use any of the objects from here. So you can show which gives you the opportunity to have access to all of So over here to the right, you will be able to see the video preview area or the canvas. This is where you can preview all of the videos that you are editing in the timeline. Okay. So you'll be able to preview everything here. And do here, you have the play features. You can fast forward or you can move backward, one frame or move to the end. Okay, jump to the end or jump to the beginning using these features. Over here, you have the effects option. You have different kind of effects. You can see them multiple of them. I'm going to show you how to use the different effects in your editing process, and they're classified as well. You can see video options. If you have different kind of things you want to deal with, for example, noise reduction, adding different kind of effects, distortion, display or cropping, and so on, compressor, adding different kind of effect that can affect your video or your audio. You'll be able to have them here, coloration. We talk about all of the in detail. And then over here, you have the caption area. This is where you can manually insert captions into your footage. Okay, you can always press on this plus sign to be able to add in captions into your project. Now, down here, you can always click to come back to the effects. And down here, we have one of the most important sections in Openshot, which is the timeline. When you import media, this is where you bring them, and you can do all of your editings adding different kind of features, effects. You do them here. They are classified according to tracks, both audio and video tracks, you'll be able to see them here. This is the Zoom tool. You can zoom in and out to be able to see the clips that you have in the timeline very, very clearly. Now, up here, you have some very basic things like you can add a particular track. From here, you can see we have multiple tracks. You can click out to add different kind of features. You can add track above, track below. You can zoom rename a particular track, and you can lock a track against any form of editing with this feature, and then you can remove a track if you are interested in removing a particular track. This is where you can add Track manually on your own, you can add track as you so wish. And this is the snapping enabled. If you enable this, you enable the snapping. If you disable this, you disable the snapping. This is very useful during the editing as you start. I'll be able to show you how to use them when we start.This is razor tool. It enables you to click and then you create a card within your clip. Just like in many other software, this is adding a marker. If you are interested in adding some details, during your editing, you'll be able to add a marker, and you can always return back to that marker and see what you need to add or what you have worked on or some details about that editing that you're working on. Okay? The same way, you can go to the previous keypoint or to the next keypoint. And then over here, you can see this is center timeline on the project. We're going to look at how to use it also during the editing the top here, you have some very basic things like you can always create a new project. You can open an existing project or you can save a project using these three features, and you can undo, redo things, and you can always click on this to import Media directly on your own. Okay, we're going to go into how to import media as well. You can choose profile, we explain how to choose profile during the project editing project setup in the last class. And then over here, you have the full screen view. If you want to have full screen view of the software, you can always click on this. And then you can export your video using this feature. Now, one of the things I want to show you is that these features are movable in that you can just simply drag and you can move them around. Okay, you can change their position and you can just simply select on any and you can move them to any point of your choosing. So you can just rearrange them if you want. And at any given point, if you decided that this is not the looks that you want. You want to readjust them and bring them back to default, you can always come back to your view options over here and you can come to views and you can go to Advanced view, and everything is going to go back to the default as you have had them before. And you can always click on this to always close and click to bring them back, okay? To always close the features as well. So this is just a bit about the general overview of the platform, and you can make them detachable just like this. You can be able to move them across very easily. With this feature, you can detach them, and you can see you can move that particular section on your own, maybe change position and so on. So this concludes this class about the general overview of the Openshot platform. The next class, we are going to learn how to import in a media, be it an image or a video or an audio into the project bin, and then import them into the timeline as well and then try to see how we can categorize them and arrange them. Okay, the different ways in which you can import media. So until next time, thanks for watching and I look forward to seeing you in the next class. Bye. 6. Importing and Managing Media: All right. Hello, and welcome back. In the last class, we talked about the general overview of the open shot platform. You can recall in the last class, we've done some adjustments to the view of this, and we can always go back to the default view by just coming over to view over here, come to views, and then you can just go to Advised view. I would just want see run on back to the normal that we do have, okay? So in this class, we are going to look at how to import media into the software generally. How to import the media, all you need is to start by coming over here to the project area Iterate click, and you can see Import file and once you click on import file, you can navigate to wherever you have this document or those media files that you want to import. For example, in my own case, I have them here, videos, and we can select all of them, and I can just click on Open IMC and just Imported by media. Okay, I can come to all because they are videos, you can see them classified as videos. When it come to audios, you will see anything. And when you come to images, you will not be able to see anything as well. So I have imported video footage. You can always come here to adjust the view Okay, so I have these videos imported. And if I want to import the audios, I can import them using the same process coming here, right clicking and going to import. Alternatively, I can come to this plot sign at the top here coming to click on it, and then you can come over to open shot video have my audios attached over here, Allr. I have audios and I can select them over here on the same method and I can just input them. So when I go to audios, I'll be able to see the audios that I have imported. Alternatively, also, if you still want to go to the file, you can go to the folder containing that particular file. For example, in my own case, it is located here in this openshot let's say, this time around, I want to input my images, I can go back and I can select my images. Sorry, let me close on this and probably close on these too also. Right? So if I'm on this file and I want to import my images, I can come to the images up here or on my own, I can just easily drag the images file and just drop it here. And it's going to import all of the images into this timeline. So let's go to the images. I'll be able to see them imported. Right, so you can see these are the images they then imported. And if you want to see the classification, you can see them. These are images. These are audios, and these are videos at any given point, you can always come to the so you'll be able to see all of the footage that I have imported into this software. Now, the next thing that I want to show you is how to import the footage from the project files area or the project bin or the media bin into the timeline. And to do that, you have very simple method. You can just drag and drop it. Okay? You can just select drag and drop it. Into the timeline just like S. And you see, once you drag and drop a footage, you'll be able to see a preview of it into the video preview Canvas over here, right? So you can drag as many things as you want, can drag this one also and drop it, and you can drag this one also and drop it into the timeline, right? And you're free to move them across as you so wish, can move them and select multiple and you can move them at the same time so you have them so you have them connected. Alright, so you can move them at the same time, right? So you can see, because I've enabled the snapping tool over here, that's why I'm able to know exactly and precisely where to release when I'm trying to connect the points, right? So you can bring them in into the timeline, and like I've explained earlier on, you can use this zoom feature to be able to zoom and see clearly what you have in the timeline. For example, in this case, we can see you can use your playhead to navigate across and be able to see a preview of what you are working on at the moment, be able to see a preview of the video as you move. As you move across with the playhead, and you can always use the play feature to play. Alright, so down here, you can use this zoom feature to zoom in and out of the timeline. So we'll be able to see the details of what you have in the timeline using this feature. Okay, so you can always zoom in and out. And if you want to see the key details in any clip that you have, you can always zoom in and you'll be able to see it clearly. This is very important during the editing, if you want to make some cuts or the about so you can bring in different media. You can always drag, be it a video footage, be it an audio footage, you can always drag and drop them into the timeline, just like so you can just drag and drop, and you can adjust the properties over here. Now, one thing I want to show you is that once you touch any of the clip, okay, you select any of the clips, you're able to see all of the properties that you can change during your editing of that particular clip that you've touched. If it is an audio clip, you'll be able to see all the audio properties like the volume and so on. You can change virtually anything from here, okay, using this feature. And if it is a video also the same way, you will have access to all of the features that you can change in the properties panel over here. So you're going to understand and experience all of these and how we can use them during the editing process as we proceed in this tutorial. I think this concludes this class on how to import and manage your media within open shot software. I hope you enjoy this video. Thanks for watching. In the next class, we are going to look at how to do some very basic editings within open shot, how to do some very basic cuttings, trimmings, splitting of clips and rearranging them to produce some fantastic content from the software. So until next time, thanks for watching and I look forward to seeing you in the next class. Bye. 7. Basic Video Editing: All right. So in the last class, we talked about importing and managing media. And in this class, we are going to talk about some very basic editing, how to do some basic video editing within Openshot software. Now to start with, you can import your media into the timeline. Maybe these clips. I've imported these clips into my timeline. As you can see, we can play them by just hitting on the plus sign. And we can move the playhead across to any point. Now, the first thing that we need to do when you are editing clips in openshot, if you want to have the best experience, it's better you enable the webform, okay? So you can enable web form by clicking on any of the clips and come to display and click on Show Web form, and it's going to show the webform on all the clips that you have within this particular truck or the time. Showing waveform is very important because you will know exactly at what point you need to make a cut and at what point you need to make another cut, okay? So you know where you are making your mistakes, or you know where you are talking and you can cut with precision in those points. So assuming, at this point, I want to use some section of this drawn footage, okay? I want to use from this point to the right here, but I don't want to use this point from the left. The first thing you need to do is to trim from the left to this playhead. So you can do that by just hovering over the clip until your cosot turns into this double sign. You can just click and drag and hold, and then you can drag up to the red sign, which means you have trimmed this section. Okay? So you can see that this section is now blank because you've trimmed that entire section. So if you want, you can on your own manually highlight the other clips and you can drag them to the end, okay? Because I just want to use this section from here, to this point. Now, assuming also in this clip, I don't want to use from this point from this point to the end, you can do the same thing that we've done at the beginning by just coming over and over to the end until your cosot turns into this double arrow sign, and you can just click and you can move directly to this point. Okay, now you have trimmed that section. One thing with trimming is that it is reversible. I always like to trim because it is reversible. Anytime you can reverse that action that you've done by just coming over to that same location, you can click and you can extend that clip to the end of it, just like I've done in this one. Now, usually, there are two ways in which you can trim or you can remove a section of a clip. The first one is the trimming. The second one is you can create a split at this playhead point. I can do that by hitting on the letters on my keyboard, and you can see right now it has split the clip into two. This is clip one. This is clip two. And now I can select this section that I don't want. I can hit on delete or function delete if you're on to delete this section. And you can see we have just done the same action that we were doing at the beginning, okay? So this is another way. Maybe another way that you can also remove sections of a clip is by using the razor blade tool. Okay? So you can click on this CISOs tool to enable the blade tool. And if you want to you can just select as you hover over any section, you can see, you can just click. And with this click, you can see it has slice the clips into two, okay? And maybe I don't want this section as well. You can just select and if you want, you can go back, click again on the razor blade tool. So you are now back with your selection tool and you can select any section that you don't want and you can press on the function delete to remove that section. Now you can select the other part and just drag to connect it with the other one. It is easier to connect with this blue line because you have the snapping tool enabled. If you don't have it enabled, it becomes very difficult. Okay? So you can see, we now connect our clips together. Okay, so you can go ahead and use the razor tool to cut as many places as you want to have your clips selected and to have the sections that you want in your clip. So let's say we try to add this one as well into the timeline, right? And let's say we click also and display the web form, so we can be able to see. So assuming I don't want to have these beginnings, there's another way to do the editing. There's what we call the ripple edit or Ripley, ripple edit. To do the ripple edit, you can always write click on a particular clip, assuming I don't want this section from here up to this playhead on this particular clip. I don't want this section from the beginning to this point, I want it removed. So I can write click on my clip, and I can just come to slide, and then you can do keep right side. So keep right side will keep anything from this playhead to the right. And if I do keep left side, and it is going to keep only the left side and cut anything outside. So I want to keep the right side, so I can just come to slides and just keep right side and it removes that section from the beginning up to this playhead. On my own, manually, I can select and now move this to the beginning and then connect on my own. You can do the same if you don't want a section of the right side, so you can just come over here. You can zoom out, so you see everything. Okay, assuming I want a portion of this clip up to this point. I don't want anything from the right. I can just right click on the clip and come to slice and I can just see keep left. So keep left, is going to remove everything from the left and just keep from the right and just keep the left side for me. It's very easy to understand, and you can do that across all your clips. You can just go ahead and edit them accordingly. And one thing I like also is you are free to move the sections of the clip accordingly. You can interchange them and move them to different sections, okay? You can move them across if you want. You can just select and drag and move them across, and you can select everything and then reposition them to start from the beginning. Very easy to do all of this. And another way that I also like editing with open shot is that when you select any section of the clips. So for example, if I select this drone, I can just select on it. I can have all of these control features to deal with at this site. You can scale to fit or you can increase the scaling on the X, Y, and Z direction, okay, as you so wish. And you can play around with the volume of the background noise, okay, that you have, you can control it from here. And if you want to increase anything, you can scale on X O on Y is, right? You can scale on Y O on Z, or you can share on X and Y and so on. So you're free to kind of scale it accordingly. But on your own, also, you can come manually on select and drag the sections so that you can have it extended. Or they are about. Okay? So you can see we can just play around with all of these. So this is another way to edit your footage within the open shot. You can select on any of the clips and you have its properties from here and you can just go ahead. You can alter the location and X, Y and Z direction, and then you can change the origin also and then the position. So you can change all of this in just seconds. All right. So I think this concludes this tutorial on how to do very basic editing within your clip in open shot or to do some cuttings, some joinings, as well as pool edit. So you can do pool edit as well. So I hope you enjoy this video. In the next class, we are going to look at how to add in reals and manage reals within open shot. Okay. So until next time, thanks for watching and I look forward to seeing you in the next class. Bye. 8. Adding B-Rolls: All right, so in the last class, we talked about how to do some very basic video editing within Openshot. And in this class, we are going to look at how to add in virals, okay, how to bring in footage in front or at the top of the footage that we have. Probably, maybe as you're watching this video, you will just see another video comes up. It happens when you want series of videos, maybe demonstrating something during tutorials. Can be explaining a concept and then another video come while you are explaining that particular concept. It could be a video or an audio, an image or anything. Okay? So to add, you can just go ahead and input that particular media that you want to add. In my own case, I can just go ahead right click and come to the videos, open shot, and I can come all the way down to videos, right? So I can see videos, and I want to import these three. Can just select all of them. Let's say this last three, okay, can select, hold down the Shift key and import all of them into the media just imported them. So if I want to import them into the timeline and add them as my bureau, I want them to be on this clip Track five. I can go ahead and select. Okay? Probably this one, I can drag and drop it into this timeline. Okay? So I can just define the exact point that I want to show. For example, I wanted to show here. Up to this point. So I can come to the edge again. I can drive to trim up to the playhead. Okay? So it just signifies the points that I want to show these tourists. So assuming I can show the view of the sea up to this point, and then we can see the video of the tourist coming up. Okay, you can see it's not it doesn't fill the entire screen, so I can extend it manually on my own by coming over here, dragging and extending. And you can see it is scaling it in X and Y direction. We on my own, I can do this. And I can come to the scaling of course, from here, can just extend. I can just scale it to fill up the entire canvas. So I can just go ahead. Let's have a preview again and you can see. So we have uh, this plane at the background, and then it goes back to the same C. Okay? So that's roll for you. You can add as many. Let's say I have another rol over here. I want to add this one, I can just drag and drop it here. And let's say I can extend, I can trim from the edge up to this point, right? So this means if I'm playing from here, from this girl, I can just navigate quickly to these cable car guys, okay. So usually what I do if you have some audio also in the bureau and in orer for you to avoid or to stop interruption with the main footage audio, you can just select that particular clip, and you come to the properties over here, you can come down and you can see volume, okay? This is at full level. You can bring it down to zero. Okay, you can just drag until it is zero. So you have now zero the volume in this, and it can do the same also on this one. You can select, and you can come down to volume and you can zero the volume. So in that case, you don't have any volume associated with these virals. Okay? So this is how to add videos as virals. You can add images also in the same way. So you can just drag and drop into the timeline. For example, I can drag and drop this one, and I can just define how far I want it to cover, so I can just move here. For example, I want it to play around here and you can see. So I just wanted to play here, can play. Alright, this one also you can select on your own manually and you can scale it. Yeah, so you can see we've scaled it. Okay. So up to this point, I think I like it like this. Alright, so you get the message. This is basically how to add in rolls into the timeline, and you can just play around with them and you can move them to whichever position you want to move them. Okay? So this concludes this class on how to add B rolls into the timeline and customize them accordingly. I hope you enjoy this video. Thanks for watching. In the next class, we are going to look at how to add and customize texts and titles. So until next time, thanks for watching and I look forward to seeing you in the next class. Bye. 9. Adding Text and Titles: All right, so in the last class, we talked about how to add in virals within open shot software. And in this class, we are going to learn how to add in text and titles. All you need is to come to the top here to titles over here, and you can see we have titles, which is the basic title. And if you want to have animated title, then you have to connect it with this software. So I think this is a bit of an advanced tutorial for this class. So you have to connect it with Blender. This is connected to Blender. Another software completely different. And I think this is a bit of an advanced tutorial. So we can go ahead and use the basic title. Okay? This is a simple title. We can click on this and we brought into this very platform. So over here, you have so many templates that you can just select and just go ahead and create your title for. Let's say we go with this basic one, which is p three, or you can go with camera border. But I think we can start with the basic one. This is the title. So you can name the file. Usually, by default, you have to give the file a name. So let's call this La third example. And then you come here and put in the level, what do you want it to carry? So let's say I put in my name. So this is doctor Rashid, for example, speaking. It could be below where I'm speaking or it could be something that could introduce me to the person or you can name it anything. For example, I can make it welcome to my child. Example, at the beginning. So over here, you have the text font. You can click to change the font style. You have the different types. You can have the font family. You can have all fonts here, and you can check or Arial Black as you which I can go with anyone. Depending on your brand, if you have a specific, you can just go ahead. Can have this avenir medium, and then we can go with the size of about 124. And once you're done, you can see o to this and you have your text like this. Okay? So you can see the sizing. If it is okay, fine. If it is not okay, you can always come back and change the sizing accordingly. Now, you can change the text color from here. Yellow is good, but looking at the background or where we want to put it, it might not be the best for now. You can select any color of your choice, but then I want to go with pure white for this case, and you have the option. If you have the color code also, you can put if you have a custom color, you can pick a screen color. Depending on what you want to create. So you can go ahead and say, Okay to this and I have added this text color to be white. If you are interested, you can add background color. I want to make it transparent because there's a default. But if you have a specific color or specific brand, you can just go ahead and select it and see o to it, and it's going to add the background to it. At this moment, I don't want to have any background. Now we have other advanced editor, which requires you to use a software called Inkscape, even though this software is also free to use open source software Inkscape. If you're interested, you can go ahead and install it, and then you can use some of the advanced editing features that it has. But at this moment, for this tutorial, there's no need. You can use the basic ones, except if you want to have more, I can recommend you to use other platforms like PACIT. You can get quite a number of titles that you can just input and use in the platform as well. So for this one, for this tutorial, let's go with this basic and we can just go ahead and say Save to this. And it is going to add this to the media bill. Okay? This is it. So lower third. This is the lower third that we just created. So if you want to put it in a timeline or reflect it in the video, you can just drag and drop it. Easily. So you define how long you want it to stay in the timeline, so you can come to the edge and just select and kind of trim it to define the exact location or define the exact length that you want it to stay. So you can drag and drop this here. So you can see right now we have this. Welcome to my channel, and you can just let to have a preview of it. Could you welcome to my channel. Or if you want, you can select and move it. You can select it and you can move it probably to the center. Okay, I think this is okay to the center. I think it's good. All right, so welcome to my channel. So this is the most very basic one. If you want, you can as well edit this particular one that you have worked on. You can always come back to the lower third. You can click and you can say edit title. Okay? You can just go ahead and edit it. You can change the content, you can change the font and text color, and so on. You can change all of with just simple clicks. And if you want K, you can view the details. You can duplicate this particular title, and you can preview the file also if you are interested. Okay? Now, this is the most basic title that we've just added. If you want to add from the other presets, also a bit of a difficult or a bit of a complex preset, you can add. For example, you can add thank you for watching text at the end of this clip. So we can just still come back to title, go to title again, and we can use this one. For example, this, I want to use something like this as a thank you message. Or if you want to have something like this, you can also equally have it. But I think I prefer something like this, so I can select it. And what I want is this is just can put it as thank you message. So let's say thank you for watching. All right, so let's say thank you over here. Let's cut this, and then we put this for watching. All right. So you can see, thank you for watching. And you can play around with the text that text features also the fonts. Like you said, you can also play around with it. So let's say we go with something like this, change the color. I think the color is good, but if you want to make it more pop out, you can go with something like this. And I think this is okay. This is cool. So you can just go ahead and add in background if you want. But at this moment, I can just go ahead and say safe to this. And all it takes is for me to drag and drop it at the end of my clips. And I have this as my thank you message for all my viewers. Alright, so I think you get the message. We can just try to extend it so to trim it a bit so we don't have it too long, right? So this is very basic. If you want to add in the animated titles, then you can install inks cape and then play around with it. So I think this concludes this tutorial on how to add basic titles and texts within Openshot. I hope you enjoy this video. In the next class, we are going to look at how to add in transitions into our timeline so that our video can look much more professional when they are transiting between one clip to another. Okay, there should be a professional transition in between the clips. So I hope you enjoy this video until next time. Thanks for watching, and I look forward to seeing you in the next class. Bye. 10. Adding Effects and Transitions: All right, so in this class, we are going to learn about transitions and effects. How do we add transitions and effects to our video clips? The first thing we need to do is to start by coming to transition over here, and we can see series of transition from simple ones where we can see circle into out, fade, simple fades, white bottom to top, white left to right, and there you can see some complex ones down here. If you move down, you can see quite a number of complex transitions that are in built within Openshot. For this tutorial and to keep it simple, which I always advise for any editor, try to keep things as simple as you can. We can use simple transitions like FD, okay? You can just drag and drop any transition directly. Let's start adding on something like this text. Let's add it on this text. And when you bring it in, you can see it's this long. So you can come over to the edge until your Coso turns into this horizontal sign. You can just click and drag, and now you can see we are excising it to something simple. Whenever you select a transition, you will be able to see its properties over here. Okay? And then you can see what kind of transition is it? This one is a fade and you can be able to adjust the brightness and contrast over here and the duration as well, how much of the transition you can control the length from here. For example, you can click to extend or reduce the length directly, just like so. So I think 1.5 is quite good. So you can select and drag it to the end of this. So when we try to play this, we'll see it's going to fad in just like that. And when you go out, you can have it at the end of it off. Welcome to my channel and then it can fad out. Is fed in, you can have fade out. Another thing that you can do, you can copy this. You can write click and say copy transition, and then you can we click over here and past. You can select and move it to this point. So you can see right now we have fade out. So when we come from here, it can easily fade out just like that. So it's very, very easy and nice. And that's how to transit in between text. Like you've seen, we just added it professionally in between the text. Whenever you select a transition, you can play around with the position also as well from here. Okay? You can click to move around accordingly within your track. Let's try to add another transition in between two clips. For example, we have between these two clips, this one, this one. Okay, as we move from this to this, let's try to see if we can add another simple transition. Let's go with this wife bottom to top, can just select drag and drop it again and we can come to the edge, can click and make it smaller. I'm proud to see how we can centralize accordingly. In which case, you can always come over to this slider and extend the length or to zoom in to have a clear view of what you are working on. So you can just extend this a little bit, and then we can just go ahead and put it. Yeah, I think that's perfect. In each case, if you may want to reverse the effect, for example, in this case, that you have fed out, you can reverse the effect. If you have it and fed in and you want it to have fade out, you can reverse the transition and just going to have in the fade out effect. Okay? So you can see we can add as many transitions as we can within our clips. We can add here as well. You can see where left to right. You can just select and past and you can just set the length also. Okay? And you can select and move it wherever you want to put it, and then you can play. Yeah. So something like that. So it's very easy to kind of add transitions, and you can walk around within the clips as you so wish. Let's try to extend this. And let me show you a bit of what I do when I'm trying to add transition in between clips or video clips of me tutoring or talking about something. Let me start by adding in a very simple clip that I know might be a bit useful. So let's go to videos here. Key videos here. I have this simple video clip that we used to demonstrate. I can drag and drop it here. For example, then I can position my clip. Let me see. So let me create a cut here because I just need a section of it back and right click and remove this clip. Alright, so what I need is just this section, and we can see that if I'm to put in a transition in between, for example, between this clip divide by two, let me just click and create another cut here and back to the selection. And what I do is when I want to transit between these two clips, and then I can come over here and I can just scale it up a little bit. So, for example, I can select and scale it up a bit. The only thing that you just have to make sure that position of your eyes is somewhere located near that of the previous click, so it becomes very easy. You can see it just looks like an intentional moving while it is just the same thing. It just looks like another angle of the camera that is giving you while it's a transition, sort of. Because within a particular clip I don't like to put in transition, I can only zoom in and zoom out when I'm going back to the next clip so I can just zoom out. So it just pops in and pops out. It kind of makes it look much more professional. So that's about transitions. We can equally work on effects. Effects, you can find them from this left side. Okay? You can see different kind of effects depending on what you are working on. You can find color saturation, captions if you want to add captions, blur effect. If, for example, you want to add in blur effect, you can just come to the area where you want to blow. And for instance, I want to blow the C, the whole of it. You can just select law nature and just drag and drop. And this is the effect now that you've added this blow, so you can just click on it, and it's just going to appear on the properties. And you have the option to play around with the properties. The horizontal radius, you can play around with it. You can the iterations is three, the sigma is three. The vertical radius, you can around with them and see what happens to your blurry in nature, you can see, it just changes. So you can play around with the properties over here. The hrations you can see can increase or decrease accordingly. So it all boils down to you how much of the blurry nature you want to add. You can see it's no blurred and you can remove or reduce accordingly. And whenever you want to remove an effect, you can just come click on the effect. You click on the effect and say, remove this effect, and it's just going to remove it from that it all boils down to you. Sometimes you may have compressor if you're dealing with sound. Sometimes you have noise removal or Echo or delay or and saturation. You even have stabilizer in cases when you have issues with the stabilizer in the camera and sometimes you have EQ, parametric equalizer. And sometimes you may need this noise removal. I kind of like it because it gives you the opportunity. So once you select and put in the effect, you can click on the ensign, and you can manage the level of the noise removal from here as well. So you can vary the intensity whether high or low increase or decrease it. So depending as you are reducing or increasing, you are now playing and hearing the preview of it. You can just go ahead, experiment, explore with any kind of effect. You have crop effect if you want to crop any section of the video and so on. I'll bows on to you. Please go ahead and experiment with the effects and transitions on your own video. This concludes this class about learning the basics of adding transitions as well as effects in your videos. I hope you enjoy this video. Thanks for watching and I look forward to seeing you in the next class. Bye. 11. Adding Background Music: Oh Hello, and welcome back. In the last class, we talked about adding transitions and effects within your videos in open shot. And in this class, we are going to learn about adding music and background music and controlling volume levels within the audio in your clips. So to add background music, as usual, you have to come to the media being over here. You can check in the audio section. If you don't have any, you can we click and say Import Media and you can navigate to wherever you have that audio in your system. For example, in my n case, I have it here. I have the three I can just select on them. Let's say I have this one. This particular one I like, and I can just click on it and you can see it's been imported. Now to insert background music in this, you can, as well, directly insert it if you have an empty truck over here. If you don't have, you can come to this small arrow and click on this and you can see add Track above or add Track below or rename a track or Track. You have these features that we've discussed at the beginning of this tutorial. Let's say I have this truck, so no need for me to add. So you can just go over to the top and just drag and drop this. So this is now my background music. And if you cannot see the webform, you can just right, click on it, come to display and say Show web form, and it's going to show you the webform of that particular audio that you've just added. Okay, so right now you can see it's very clear. Now, this is how to add in Audio background music. In your video. You have all of the control effects that you have to add and to do basic editingsO the video clips, you can equally do that on the audio clips. For example, you can create a cut at any given point. For example, at this point, may want to just create a cut. So you can just move to that point, and I can select the clip and come over here and select my scissors, and then I can come and create a cut here. And play another one here probably at any given point. So I can go back, select the section that we want to delete, right click and say remove clip, and you can see it just removes the click. Alternatively, oh, you can do the same on this as well, right click and remove the clip and you can see you remove this section of the clip. Now, alternatively, if you want to remove those sections without using the ruler, like we've discussed earlier, you can come to the end of it until your so turns into this horizontal sign. You can click and drag and you move to the end just like so, and you see you've trimmed this to. One of the advantages I like about this is trimming is very good because it is extendable. If you have any issue with that particular truck, you can extend it back to where it was before, okay? So let's select this. Assuming we trim to this point, if you later change your mind, you can always select and trim back to as many lengths as you prefer, okay? So it's extendable. So that's why I always prefer to trim, okay? So you can trim to the edge. That's how to add in. So another thing that we want to learn is about controlling the volume levels. Controlling volume levels could be something very simple that you can do. You can just select. Let's select in this initial pad or remove the clip, so we have only this section. Now, you can control the volume levels by selecting the particular clip, the audio clip, and then you can come to the properties of the clip over here, and you can see down here you have. Over here, the volume is 1.0, which means this is the highest volume as at the time when you import that media into the media. So this 100%, you can select and drag, and you can see right now you're going to producing only that unfortunately it is adding a key firm to this, which means at this point, it is 26%, which means if you google here, it is 100% or nearly 0.89 or 89%, and then it reduces down to this point when it is 0.6%. I don't want it to have this keyframe thing, so I can just click here and say remove keyframe, and now everything is back to normal. If I like, I can come over to the beginning of this. I can still select the clip and I come over here and make this probably to maybe 10% because for good background music, it has to be 20-30% in terms of the volume. I think this is okay. Now here, if you notice that I have this audio, if you want to add anything, for example, you may want to control the volume level of this. You may want to mute this, and then until you are done with this, then you can go back and continue. So you have an audio that is audible and a background music that doesn't interfere much with the audio. So in most cases, what I do when I have a video that has an audio in the background, I think this is okay. But then whenever I want to the volume level of a particular video that I'm connected, I do sometimes right click and come to separate audio from video, and I can do that in single clip or can do multiple clips. Well, I do that on single clip. So with your selection of single clip, you will notice that my audio has been separated from the video. Well in this case, this audio now overlapped with this one. So I can undo this Okay. So if I want to separate the audio and the video, I have to add another track. So I can select this, add another track below. So see I have another track and come over here, right click and say separate audio. And now you can see we have this audio separate with its waveform. So you can select on this and still play around with the volume level as well from here. Okay, so you add other effects like compressor, you can drag and drop or you can add distortion or you can deal with echo. C just drag and drop in case if you have an eco in your audio, you can select on this eSign. You have the properties over here and you can play around with the features at the same time, if you want to remove, you can always remove. This is what to do when you are trying to add in background music and maybe control volume levels within your audio in your video clips. This concludes this class about adding background music and controlling volume levels. I hope you enjoy this video. Thanks for watching and I look forward to seeing you in the next one. Bye. 12. Adding Colouration: Right. So in this class, we are going to learn about adding coloration or doing color grading and color correction within our video clip in open shot. And to add colors, this is a video property, so you can come over here to the effect. And you can see this is all the effect. If you want to see video specific effect, you can just click on video, and you can be able to see different kind of effect that you can add as regards your video. So you can see a hue here. You can see brightness and saturation and brightness and contrast. You see hue here, you can see color saturation over here. So in whichever case, you can just drag and drop the effect. For example, let's start with this brightness. You can drag and drop the brightness over here. Let's try to extend this slider so we'll be able to see what we are doing clearly. Right? So you can see right now, we can click on this to enable the properties of the effect that we've just added, like we shown earlier on. Now over here, you can adjust the brightness and the contrast also from here. So you can click on drag, and you can see right now you're reducing the effect. If you keep going down, the brightness keep going down. If you go up a little bit, you can see it can be too much. You can just go anywhere in between 0.9 to one. Okay. So 0.09 20.11 over here. So I think this is okay, or you can see as far as 0.04, or you can put in the number is ilo directly. And then the contrast is something that you don't want to mess around with. 3.0 is okay. If you keep going down, you see the effect on video click. So you can kind of extend this. Let's take it. The tire eight squared much. So don't make it too much. So I think 2.8 is good. Okay, on our video. So you can be able to see the before and after. Probably this is before, and this is the after the little touch that we've just given. Okay? So if you want to add the same effect to the remaining section of this clip, you can just come over here. Click on the small arrow. Okay. So you can come over here to copy and you can see copy effect if you want to copy this effect. But another thing that we can add to this is we can add this Huo you can just drag and drop this and you can click on the hedge to have access to the hue properties. You can increase that a little bit so to make it pop a little bit. So you have that unique color added to our video. You can see a little bit of a difference added and some vibrance added to the video. Now much better. Now another effect also that I always like to add is the color saturation. So you can just click and drag, test it. You can hear on the letter a as well, and you can play around with the coloration from here. You can increase the saturation, saturation, blue, green, red. You can play around with the blue, green, red colors individually, or you can do them as a whole directly using this. So let's say we use this and you can just increase the saturation a little bit. So we have some vibrance in the coloration of the video. Okay, so I think this is okay. Now we've added a number of effects on this. And if you want to add the same effect to the rest of the clip that you have, you can come all the way to this and you can see this small arrow. You can click on it. You can go to Copy. You can see copy effect. And then you can select the number of clips that you have no matter how many of them and just we click. And then you can see past. You can past the effect. You can just past. And all of those effects that you've added in this film clip will be also equally transferred to the next or the rest of the clips. Okay? So you can see, you can click and you'll be able to see the image also had been adjusted to take in the effect of the other clips. You can just go ahead and check around and check the other coloration effect or other video color effects like the act that we've talked about, or the Chroma kin in cases if you have used the green screen, you want to remove the background, you can use this, and then you can add in different kind of things that you think can be very, very useful to your video. But in open shot, color correction and color grading is one area that they are fully good at. But I think they have had enough features of the effects to enable you to do very basic colour grading and color corrections. I think this concludes this class about color grading and color correction, adding some coloration to your clips within Openshot. I hope you enjoy this video. Thanks for watching, and I look forward to seeing you in my next class 13. Sample video Editing from Scratch: Okay, so in this class, we are going to learn how to start editing from scratch, create a project, and import media and do some very basic editing and even ddt some effects, transition and so on. What we've learned through the course. We're just going to do some very basic practice and create a very short clip that we can export just to serve as a practical guide within this course. So to start, let's start by creating a fresh project by coming to file over here and it's a new project and we can save this. It's okay to save this in existence. We can set trial free. For example, this is a new project that we've just created, and right now we can save the project. This new project, we can save project us, go to the location, give the project a name. So let's say sample editing. You come over here and click on Save. Right now, we have a project saved. Now to start importing media like ushlTaa can click over here or we can come over to this plus sign, can navigate wherever we have our media, for example, in case we house here. So let's kind of select on this and we can import. If you have multiple, you can hit on this shift key to select multiple and we can import our media directly. So if you go to the video, you'll be able to see the media that we just imported. These are the videos that we imported. If you want to add images as well, you can still right click over here and come over to this file, right? All right, so let's say we have our images here, and we can just select on any that we want to import, and just select port and we have our images imported. Okay? So if you want to confirm that, you can come to image as well. And let's say we have the audio that we want to import, alternatively, we can come over here, go to the images that we want to import. So audio this time around and click on audio, and then we can drag and drop into the media bin just like that. So we can see the audio here that we import. Next thing is we can try to bring in our media. We can go to all. We can try to bring them one by one. So we can just do that by just dragging and dropping, something like this. So this is video, we have this video as well. We can just drag and drop it here. And then we have this image, we can drag and drop it here. Can have it on a different timeline. And then we have the background music. But then let's do some very basic editing. For example, in this clip, we don't want it to be this long, so we can select over here, come to the edge and drag to trim up to this point. For example, and this one also, we may not want it to be this long, so we can come over here, select on the scissor sign, create a card here. We can get back to the cisar sign. We can select on this right click and say remove clip. And you can move this where she want, and we can extend this to however we want it in terms of the length. But then when you notice the image, it does not filled up the screen completely. So if you like, you can go ahead and extend it. By selecting the image, you can come over to the edges and just drag until it fills up the screen directly. And I think this is okay in terms of what I want. Now, this is basic editing because you've just done some very basic editing. We can input other media as well. For example, I have that small video that I want to add. You can just select come over this, come to videos, and I can check this book that changed my life. I can see if just added, can just drag and drop it here as well. All right. So let's come over to this point, cred a card from here. So you can select cred a card. All right. Then we can go back, right click over here or remove this section of the clip. All right. Okay, so we've added everything. So the next is, let's try to add in some background music. So we can do that by drag and dropping our background music from here, or drag and drop it. Again, we can use a slider to be able to see everything. Okay? So we can drag and trim the background music also to the beginning. Okay, on your own, you can come back manually to extend so you can be able to see everything. Okay, so this image, we can decide to add it in. We have our background music. We may decide to show the webfm but just write click in and come to display and show webfom. You can see we've seen our webfm. And again, in this case, we have to reduce the volume to maybe 20%. So let's draw up this selecting the clip and come down to let's say 20%. Okay, so this is 20%, and it's good. So we have this problem of the keyframe so right click and remove key frame Okay, so right now we got it to 20 percen. Let's select this and take it up a little bit. Okay, so the next in, let's try to add in some text. So you can come over to the titles over here on the title, and we can select a given text. So we'll go something simple, and let's write something like a pigments I'm going to come down here and write glaring your ideas. Can change the text font, the color and the background, I saw and other advanced editing features that we've just discussed in the previous class. We can just go ahead and save this. So the next thing is, let's try to select everything, all of the clips in our timeline, and we can move this a little bit, and we can drag and drop this text. Okay? Can adjust it to fit in the place we want it to fit. I think this is okay for an intro. Okay, I think this is okay. So the next end is we want to add in some transition. So how do we add transition? We can come to transitions over here and we can select basic transitions. Let's do it and drag and drop. Let's start with the text, come to the edge, drag, and just drag and drop into the beginning. We can copy and paste, copy the transition and past it, and we can put it to the end, correct click and save the vast transition. So have a feed in and fed out. Okay, so we can have some like a fading. Okay, so we can try to see the transitions that we've just added on the text. Okay. Okay, so we can try to add in transitions on the other connecting clips. So for example, you can add this wipe left or let's add this fit in, or this, and we can equally adjust and then we can position it wherever we want. Okay? So we can copy this and paste somewhere. You can paste again, so we can just easily wolf them in between. All right. So the next thing is we can try to see how we can add some colorations to these clips. If you want to add a new color, you can do move in. For example, let's say we add some color to this my clip. Again, and select and you can come to the effect over here, can stay at the visual effect. The one that I usually use is brightness, like I said earlier on, select and you can click. Come to the brightness. You can shift it a little bit here. Okay, bit is okay and the contrast also. This is okay. So you can add some hue to this. Click. And you can flare out this a little bit. All right. And then sometimes you can have some color actuations as well. So you can clip from the letter S. You can do combined color saturation. So let's add a little bit of color to give you some vibrance. Okay, so this is about color saturation, and you can see right now we've just added some very basic things to the eclipse. Now, once you're done, you started with your intro and you have an outro. Okay, so let's say we can add an outro to this, something like thanks for watching. You can come to the title bar, click and let's put in something simple. Let's put so let's put something like thanks for watching. And over here, we can touch something like remember to subscribe. Okay? I think this is okay, you can click on save then we can drag and drop it into the timeline. Thanks for watching. Remember to subscribe so we can add in only need the effect. Comp transition and we passed in here, we can add in here. Some press another one. And then it just fills out. We're done with everything. This basically concludes this class about how to play with some of these features to start a project to import media, to do some very basic editings and adding one or two things from scratch to see how we can create a complete video that we can export for our own consumption. In the next class, we're going to look at how to export this video in different formats and we can publish it in different platforms that you're interested in. Until next time, thanks for watching and I look forward to seeing you in the next class. But 14. Exporting Videos: Alright, so in this class, we are going to learn how to export the video video that we just created in the previous class. So we're just going to learn the basics of exporting it into a computer. Now to export a video within Openshot, all you need is just to come to this red button and just click on this. This is Export Video. You just click on it. And then you have the option to give the video a name, which is what we have given at the beginning of this tutorial that we've created a project. We call this sample editing. So this is the name it has kept. Now we can define the folder path where you want to save this video. So by default, it is going to save between desktop and this folder again that we've defined. I have all of these simple features. Simple could do for you, but if you have other formats that you want to check, can check out the other formats as well. But I think I select all format and MP four, which is h.264 is best quality that we can have at the moment. So you can just go ahead. If you have other qualities that you are targeting, you can just click on this and just select accordingly. I should have specific qualities that you are targeting, but simple will do quite a number of things for you. Now, the resolution of the video, you can change it at the moment. It is HD 720 P 30 frams per second, 1920 by 720. But if you like, you can change it to 1920 by 1080, like we mostly do, okay? So you can just go ahead and select. Okay? Can select accordingly. From anyone. But I think I'm okay with this. The only thing that you can change at the moment, sometimes, which are advised to change is the quality. You can go from low, medium, and high if you're interested to change accordingly, but keep everything at default. If you want to have further setup or settings as well, you can come to Advance and you have the option to export video and audio or if you want to export audio or video only, you can specify accordingly from here. Start from this frame and then in the last frame or you have other setins or other features, you can go ahead and explore and change accordingly, like the formats of the codec, the video formats, the bit rate, you can change all of these from here and audio settings, you have a bunch of controls if you want to try the advanced features. But for me, I always keep it simple and I always stay at the simple settin. So you can just go ahead. Once you are setting with everything, you can just go ahead and click on Export, and your video is going to start rendering and exporting very, very easy and nice. Just give you some seconds to finish exporting and we can try to play what we have at the end of it all. Okay, so like you can see right now it has finished, you can just go ahead and sit down, and our video is exported directly. So you can go back to the folder where we specified, and we're able to see our export over here, sample editing. Okay, so you can see the fed in the fade out into the main fade out into the main video. Cob Hi bills. What is the one book that stating all. I think this concludes this class about how to export our video in different formats within open shot. I hope you enjoyed this video. Thanks for watching and I look forward to seeing you in the next class, which is the conclusion and project class. Thank you and see you around. 15.
