Video Editing with DaVinci Resolve for Beginners

1. Introduction: Hi, my name is Adrian and I'm a professional video creator. I have been making videos for the past ten years. And in this class I will teach you how to edit a video from scratch using the vinci result. This last was made with beginners in mind. So if you have never edit to the beat it before, this is definitely a great place to start. If you already have experienced editing with a different programming, you wanted to transition to the mainstream resolve. I think this class will be very helpful for you as well. I will walk you through the entire interface and main features of the program. And I will show you how I ended EVDO from beginning to end, including importing files, editing clips, adjusting callers, audio editing, and exporting your final video. You'll be able to apply these concepts to create all sorts of videos. Maybe you want to make short films, YouTube videos, content for social media, or any kind of video that you want to make. So get your free copy of the vinci result and I'll see you in the first lesson. 2. Project Manager: The project manager is the first thing that you will see when you open the BGN she resolve. Here you can see all of the products that you've created. You can also create folders to keep everything organized or use. It's also in the corner to look at more information about your projects. To create a new project, click on New Project, give it a name, and click on Create. 3. Workspaces: The eventual resolve as divided into seven different pages which represent different stages of the post-production process. I'll LEA can switch between them whenever you want. The first one is called Media. Here is where you organize all the files that you will be using to make your video. The second one is cut. This is essentially a simplified version of the Edit Page. The cut page is designed for faster editing. It can be very useful when you need to put together something very quickly or when you are just making a rough cut. The edit page is probably where you're going to spend most of your time. Everything from cutting clips, moving them, adding music. Here is where you will do probably 80% of the things you need to do. Fusion is a node-based visual effects and motion graphics tool. If the edit page is like Adobe Premiere, fusion is like after-effects. But instead of having layers, you work with notes, the color page is probably the biggest highlight of the being sure. Resolve. This program is the industry standard for color grading and color correction. Fair liked is your sound editor. Here you can record, edit, and make Sam for your videos. And finally, the deliberate page is where you select the settings you want for rendering your video. 4. Importing Media: The media page is where your post-production process begins. To import files into your project. You simply go to your project folder and drag your files into re-solve. If you want the final video to have the same settings as if footage that you were importing click on change. Now your project is set to the same resolution and frame rate as the footage. If you want to delete something from your project, you simply select it and press backspace. Then click Remove. To import media. You can also right-click and then click on intermediate or user shortcut Control. I. Then sell like whatever you want to import and click on open. It's always a good idea to stay organized when you edit videos to create a new folder, right-click and then click on add bin. In this case, I'm gonna make one for my footage. I'm going to select all of my footage and I'm going to drag it into the folder. If you open a folder and you want to go back here are your navigation tools. You can make folders for images, sound effects, or anything you need for your video. The media page also has a player, so you can look at your footage while you're inside the program. 5. Edit Page Part 1: This is the Edit page. And like I said before, here is where you will spend most of your time. We will go back and talk about a cut page later, but you don't have to worry about that right now. The media pool is where you will find all the files that you've already imported in organized. Here you can also create bands import media, or simply drag files from your computer. This area right here is your timeline. Here is where you will assemble your video. One way to add a clip to your timeline is to drag it from the media pool. As you can see, this will create a new Timeline. I'm going to take my new timeline out up the footage folder. Now my timeline is inside the master section. Here it is. You can also rename your timeline by selecting it and then clicking on the name. Next to our project name, we get this message that says edited. This is reminding us that we haven't saved our project. So go ahead and press control S to save. Now the message is gone. Before you go any further, it's a good idea to go to File Project Settings and make sure you're working with the settings you want for your final video. In this case, I'll be using 1080 by 1920 square pixels and 24 frames per second. Or in this case 23.9, 76. Don't forget to click save if you do any changes. This red line right here tells you where in the timeline you are that controls the playback window. Right now we are at 0. Which means that if we press the spacebar, that playback will start from there. That's what your video looks like so far. To move it, you can drag it or a click anywhere along the timeline on this area of your screen. You can also click and drag. If you want to go back to the beginning, you can press shift I to zoom in and out. You hold Alt and scroll your mouse wheel. However, if you do that on this area of your screen, you will scroll through the timeline instead. You can also use the slider here to zoom in and out. In your timeline view options. You can control how your clips look on your timeline. You can use these sliders to adjust the size of your tracks all at ones. If you want to see your audio waveforms, you need to click this button. Under audio view options, you can change the way the way from Luke's. 6. Edit Page Part 2: I'll show you another way to drag files into your timeline. If you go to your media pool and you click on the clip, you are now able to play it here before you drag it into the timeline. If you click on your timeline again, it changes back to showing your final video preview. If you want to look at both at the same time, click this button right here. If you want. You can also close your media pool to make things a little bit less cluttered. Now your timeline preview is on the right side and the clip from the media pool that is currently select that is on the left. But why is this helpful? Well, you can scroll through your clip to find where you want it to start and breast i to mark the start and then go to where you want it to end and press o. These shortcuts stand for in and out. And now, if you want to drag your clip to your timeline, you will only drag that portion up to video. If you don't want the audio, you can drag from this little film strip. And if you only want the sound, you can drag from this tiny way firm into the audio track. This can be really fast workflow for some projects. 7. Editing Clips Part 1: Okay, now we're going to have some fun for this example. I'm going to pretend that I'm making a 30-second video for social media to promote a song. I'm gonna go into my footage folder. And let's say that I wanted to start with this clip right here. I'm going to double-click. And now I'm going to look for a part of the video where I want the video to start. And I like seeing that shift in focus. So let's say that I wanted to start here before that movement. So let's press ie. And I'm going to press the spacebar foreplay and stop. And let's say that I wanted to hear maybe a little bit later. Maybe they're going to press o. And now this is going to be the exact part of the clip that I'm going to drag a just one video. I don't need the audio, so I'm gonna drag from this little film strip right here. And now it's in my timeline. Alt and scroll wheel to zoom in. And let's play. What do we have so far? Okay, perfect. So as you can see it, it has no audio, which is what I want. And I want to make it a little bit shorter. So there's two ways to go about this. You can go to the end of the clip until you see that little symbol. Click and then drag or chondrules C2, undo. You can also use this tool right here, the blade edit mode. You can click there. You can also press the shortcut b. And now you have the razor blade. Let's say I want to cut right here, just click and I have two clips. If I wanna go back to this tool right here, you can also click a. And now I can select this clip and deleted. Now I want to add the song. So I'm gonna go to my media pool and add the song. I'm going to zoom out. And same thing as before. We need to cut it because we only need like 30 seconds. I know that I wanted to start here. So I'm going to drag from the beginning. And you see how it snaps to the end of that clip and to that thing. That's because we have a magnetic timeline. Here you have a magnet. It's called snapping. You can click to disable that or just breast c0 n. If you disable it. Now it can move freely throughout the timeline. In this case, I do want snapping turned on. And now it snaps right where I want it to start. I'm going to drag it to the start. Una press Shift. I did go back to the beginning and press play to see what do we have so far? Okay, so I'm going to go back to the beginning of the video because I want to start to be a little bit smoother. So I'm gonna zoom in. And I'm going to drag this a little bit because I want it to fade in. I'm doing it for both the audio and the video. And now it looks like this. That makes it a little bit smoother. I'm going to zoom out. And now we're going to look for the ending of the video. Around here. It's the 30-second mark. So I'm going to be I'm going to cut it right there and I'm going to press a to go back to selection mode. I'm going to select this clip and I'm going to press Delete. I'm gonna zoom in. And we're going to add another fade out. That's going to be the ending up her video. And now we can start adding more clips. Let's say now I want a different clip. Maybe one of the rocks. Maybe wanted to start here. Maybe here. And it's going to and around here. So I'm going to drag it. And maybe I want this one for the end because it looks kinda like a sunset. So pretty much the entire clip is the same. So let's say around here. And I know it's going to be the ending of the video. And something to keep in mind is the difference between deleting something with the delete key or the backspace. So let's say that you want to get rid of this clip right here. You can select it and then press backspace, and now it's gone. But if you selected and then press delete, you are deleting this part of the timeline. So when you deleted the rest of the clips that come after are going to move closer to the beginning of the video. Let's say I want this one around here and here. And maybe I won my cuts to be right on the beat. So maybe, for example, maybe I wanted to cut right there in the beat. So there's two ways to do this. You can cut the first clip and then drag the other one. Or you can use the trim tool, which has the shortcut T to cut that clip and automatically drag everything else that comes after. And now our cut is on the beat. Let's make this one on the beat us, well, we burst T and we drag. Let's do the same thing for this clip. And if it's not perfect, when you zoom in, you can use your arrow keys to move between keyframes. In this case, I'm gonna use be, cut it and then a to select the second one and then delete to get rid of it. Now I just need to add a few more clips. Here. I can't let go of that clip exactly where I want to, which is here, where the beat happens. That's because of a snapping Ming enabled. So you can disable it with n. And now you can put it exactly where you want it to go. Or you can also zoom in and drag the beginning and the end of your clips to where you want them to cut. Let's see what our video looks like so far. 8. Editing Clips Part 2: Now, let's say that I wanted to add a photo at the end of this video. And I'm gonna grab the cover art of the song, and I'm gonna put it right here. I'm going to add a fading for this clip as well. And the way you work with photos is pretty much exactly the same as you do with video. And after image is too small or too big and you need to edit anything about it really. You need to select it and then go to your inspector. Here you can find pretty much anything that you might want to edit the about it. Here you can see the composer with mon, the opacity, which is the transparency of the video. And if you double-click on different sections, you can expand them to see what you can edit on their transform. You can edit this, zoom. The position x or y. The rotation, anchor point, pitch, yaw. And you can also flip. You can also crop your image if you want, crop left, right, top. And you can also make the crop a little softer. Dynamic zoom. Civilization, which is more for video non-real, for photos, real-time N scaling and lands correction, which is used to correct the storage and created by lenses. Instead of using the inspector, you can also use your quick adjustments. If you click here, you are able to click and drag to move your clip or to resize, which can be more intuitive than moving dials n numbers in the inspector. You can also rotate it right here, or it can move the anchor point. And you have a drop-down menu where you can edit more stuff like cropping. Now instead of resizing, we're cropping they image. And you have other tools like dynamic soon, open FX overlays and annotations. 9. Effects: Next to your media pool, you have Fx library. Inside FX library you have two main sections, audio effects and Toolbox. Inside toolbox you have your transitions for both video and audio. Inside the video transitions, you have different kinds of translations. Like for example, an iris in-between these two clips would look something like this. A little bit core neighborhood. If that's what you're going for. Go ahead. You have motion transitions like push or slide. You have different shapes and I encourage you to go through them and see which ones you like. Audio transitions are pretty much just different kinds of cross fades. Here you also have titles, let's say, for example, that I want to include titles on top of this video that say that this song is out. First, I'm gonna make a little bit of space. I'm going to go through zoom and I'm gonna make this a little bit smaller. And I'm gonna move it to the side. I'm going to grab the default text and I'm going to add it on top off my clip. I'm going to double-click on my texts to edit the message. And I can click anywhere to stop editing. And now I can drag it wherever I want. I can also select the clip, go to inspector. And here you can also edit the text itself or the size. And anything you need to edit the about the text. I'm going to add a fade out to this text as well. So it fades out along with the rest of the eclipse. We also have generators, like for examples, solid colors. I'm gonna drag this my timeline and I can edit the color. We have Grayscale. You have different gradients. And us always everything can be edited in the inspector. Inside the effects we have adjustment clip and this one is a very useful one. Let me show you. Let's say you want to add a video effect, your entire timeline, something like a color grade, for example, if you don't want to go into each individual clip and add whatever effect you want to do. You can simply add an adjustment clip and put it on top of everything. You can drag it and stretch it. So it covers everything that you want to adjust and add the effect or color grade or whatever you need to this clip. And that's going to affect everything that's underneath it. For example, if we select adjustment clip and we go to color, you can see that we're going to adjust the adjustment clip. And we're gonna do something very, very simply here we're just going to add a little bit of contrast to the video. And if we go back to the edit page, You can see that it has affected everything underneath. If you turn off the adjustment clip, you can see that it affects the way the other ones underneath. So it can be very handy if you want to adjust more than one thing at the same time. Inside Open FX, you will find all kinds of video folders that you might need. Feel free to go through them and see what they do to your video. And we'll go over the audio effects during the audio section of this class. 10. Keyframes: Keyframes are essentially frames of the video that are assigned different values for certain parameters. In other words, it means that we can animate stuff. So let me show you. So for example, let's say that we want to animate this size of this logo. For that we're going to animate with keyframes, the zoom of the photo. So if you press this button right here, you create a keyframe. That means that the software knows that this parameter, the zoom, it's going to be this value or it's going to have that value at this moment in time. And then if we go to the end of the clip and we change the value, since we already created another key frame, it's going to automatically create another key frame on this part of the timeline. We know that it has created a second key frame, because a keyframe button turn red. It means that the program knows that exactly here. Second five, and knows that the value of the zoom is going to be this. What the program does is it creates a smooth transition between two values. And in this case we have this value right here, and we have this one right here. Notice how the value of the zoom changes smoothly between 1.651. That's essentially how animation in video software works. If you want to see those key frames in the timeline, you click here, and now you can see the first key frame and the second key frame, if we were to, for example, have a keyframe here. Now it's going to take this value and then create a transition between that value and this one, and then between this one and this one. So now it looks like this. And then it goes back. And you pretty much can animate every single value that has that button here. You can animate the position. You can animate that rotation, pretty much anything that has that button, you can animate it however you want. Debenture result also lets you edit the speed of your animations using curves. Click here to look at the curves. And if you can't see anything here, you just need to click on one of these keyframes. And now you're going to be able to see this line right here. You can see that it's going from one to 1.65. And maybe you want it to go a little faster in the middle and then slow down towards the end. You can click here to have a little curve. Now we can control the velocity. It's going to start a little slower than get a little faster and again slower towards the end. Now it looks like this. You can also select both of them and create something like an S-curve. Now after using curves, the animation looks a little bit more natural. It starts a little slower, it speeds up and then it gets a little bit slower towards the n. We're going to close the curve editor and the keyframe these play. And I'm gonna make my trek a little bigger just to be able to make a fade in and fade out. I'm going to make the timeline a little bit smaller, so that the player is a little bigger. And this is what it looks like now. 11. Color: The color page inside the beam itself has pretty much everything you could ever need for anything callers, that's way it is the industry standard. I'll show you the basics when you practical example. Ok, so let's edit the colors are a little video. I usually start with the main shot or whatever it is, the most important or prettiest shot. So I'm going to start with this one. And you want to select the clip that you want to edit first and go to color. So here is where we are going to edit the colors. The main taps are clips, and here you have all of the clips that make up your video. We're currently working on this one. Then notes, this is c. You can see your notes. Each note is basically a new step in the process of the processing off your image. Here you have your lots and lot stands for look-up table. Lots are pretty much just color grading breach sets. They already have a grade or a color style applied to them. And I'm going to show you how to use them in a second. Here you also have your media pool if you needed your timeline gallery. Open FX, and like books. And the actual tools for editing the callers are down here. You don't need all of them if you don't have the proper expensive cinema camera. But I'm going to show you how to use the basic ones. So we're going to start working on the first already made lot. And the way this works is the green thing in the left is basically your video or the input that you are giving, the color editor. And then you have in the middle, all of the notes or anything stages that you're going to use to process your image. And then that goes to your export on your output. So it's basically like a input, anything, an output. So it already has a node, insert it sort of when to start working with this one. So the first thing we're gonna do is applied the proper contrast to the image. The contrast is that the difference between the whites and the blacks. Since I filmed this footage, you sing a flat color profile. That means that the highlights are being pulled down and the blacks and the shadows are being pulled up. So you can't have everything in the middle. Nothing is too brag, nothing is too dark. So it looks kinda dull. It lacks a lot of contrast. And you can see it right here with the scopes. You can change here what you're seeing have parade. This is the same thing as scopes, but it divides the red, green, and blue channels. You have waveform. And this is what I mainly use. Up here is your pure white, and down here is your pure black. And from left to right, you're seeing your image. I'm going to use the different Clip to explain how this works. So let's say something like this image right here. So as you can see in the left, you have a lot of mid tones. And as you can see, everything's here kind of in the middle. And then as you go to the middle of the image, you have these overexposed whites. And here you can see that as well. There's a lot of information here. And the whites, the waveform is telling you that this area of the image in the middle is overexposed. If we look at a different image like this one, for example, you can see that everything is kinda in the middle. You have a lot of blacks in this area. And you can see here, you have a lot of black information. And then as you go to the right that are somewhat more bright areas and you can kinda see it going up. So you go from left to right. That's basically how scopes work. So let's go back to our main clip and here we have lift, gamma and gain. This basically means shadows, may towns, and highlights. The color wheel controls the hue. So basically we're moving the color of the shadows. Now we're moving the callers of the middle tones. And here is the color of the highlights. And the wheel underneath the colors is the exposure. So the first thing I'm gonna do is I want to pull down the shadows until the blacks are touching the blacks. Here you can see that the lowest exposure is around here and it's very far away from black, so we don't have pure black. So we're gonna pull this down around there. It's touching the pure black. And as you can see, we have a lot more contrast. And I wanted my highlights to be a little bit brighter because I think that sky was a little brighter when we were shooting. So I'm gonna pull this up a little bit around there. And I'm gonna take my middle tones a little bit because I want more detail. That is also pulling the blacks a little bit up. So I'm gonna compensate, gonna pull those down. And we're gonna use this button right here to turn on and off the color grading. So it looks much better already. You can also use the contrast control here, but that only pulls everything up and down. It's like it's just stretching it into y-axis. But I recommend using individual controls for shadows and highlights so you have better control over what is happening with contrast up your image. The flat color profile that I use also takes out a lot of saturation. So we're going to add a little bit more saturation to the image. And here on the second page, we can change the temperature. We can make the image warmer or colder. I actually want to make it a little bit warmer. And tint is pretty much how green or magenta it looks. The positive makes a magenta, and if you go down to the negative, it looks more green, more like The Matrix. So somewhere around here, I tend to make my images a little bit more green ish, but that's up to you. That's purely personal taste. And now I'm going to use a lot to make it look a little bit more vintage. So I'm going to right-click on the node, half-note cereal. And now we have a second node. We need to click on the second one to make sure we're working on this one. And I'm actually going to lock this now to make sure I'm not making any adjustments on it accidentally. So Locke node. Now we're going to add a lot on the second node. And the pinch resolved comes with a lot of different lots. You have film looks, for example, and if you move your cursor over the lot, you can see what it looks like on your footage. It gives you a very helpful preview of what it's gonna look like. Some guy used this one and you just drag it and let go over the node that you want to apply it on. So lots are usually way too strong for your footage. But that's good because we can control how much it affects your video. So you want to click here and change the heat output game. This is basically the opacity of the node. And this case the opacity of the lot. I usually use lots at around 30%, which in this case is 0.3, something around that, maybe a little bit more in this case. And we're going to click on the number of the node to turn it on and off. And as you can see, it's adding a little more texture to the image, a little bit more contrast. And it looks over a little bit more of vintage. Something that I like doing most of the time is making the shadows more cold and highlights a little warmer. So I'm going to add a third node. At node serial. It's starting to get a little bit messy. And I'm going to look at this one as well. And we're going to work on the third one. So we're gonna go back to our color wheels. And I'm gonna drag this shadow stores the blue and the highlight stores the orange. We can see what it's saying to the image. And I'm also going to make the opacity of that node a little bit lower because I think that the effect is a little bit too strong. And lastly, I don't like how the pure black looks like, dark blue. So we're going to use a fourth and final node, now, serial. And for this one, we're going to use curves and we're going to look for loom set. You can see the names here. So we have here luminous versus saturation. The x axis is our exposure going from black to white. And the y-axis controls the saturation. So I'm gonna take the blacks and dark shadows and I'm going to lower the saturation to make sure that the black is not saturated and we don't have any hue on the blacks. This way there's no saturation in the dark shadows. And our black callers are actually black and dark blue. It's a very subtle effect, but it makes the overall image look a little bit cleaner. I think it looks pretty good. And a trick to make your color grading a little faster is looking at all your clips, selecting the one that you already made. And then you're gonna press alt one. And what that does is we just saved a color preset basically. So if we want to apply it, we can go to this image, for example, and press control one. And we basically pasted the same color grading on this image. It doesn't work 100% yet, but I'm gonna do some changes to it. So for example, I know that this is way too much saturation. So I'm gonna unlock the node so I can edit it. And I'm going to live the shadows so that they are not as crushed. And I'm gonna bring the highlights down a little bit. And now it looks a little bit more natural. So I'm gonna do that to the rest of my clips. And now I'm going to make sure the exposure is correct. This one looks fine. Maybe the blacks should be a little darker and highlights a little less bright. And now if we go back to our edit page, all of her color grading is already in place. And we can also turn on and off to color great here to see what it looks like. And that's basically how you edit colors in the vinci result. 12. Sound: Let me show you how I edit voiceover for video. Here we have a small clip and it sounds like this. Hello and welcome to my video editing class. And first of all, let's look at the waveform. We're going to assume in the most important part about processing, audio is compressing it properly. And compressing means leveling the audio, making the loud parts a little quieter and racing the quiet parts. That way everything is even and you didn't have as much variation in volume. So here we immediately see that the beginning of the clip is very loud and the ending is very quiet. It sounds like this. Hello and welcome to my video editing class. So how do we do that? We use a compressor and furthest we're gonna select the clip and we're gonna go to fair light. So insight fair, like we have our timeline but we only see the video tracks. We have our mixer right here. And here you will see all of your audio channels. Here we just have one and our main out. All of our channels will be routed to this one output. To compress the signal, we're going to go to dynamics and double-click right here. And now we're going to listen to the audio and see the levels. Hello and welcome to my video editing class. So it ranges all the way from almost negative ten to negative 30. We're going to turn on our compressor. And I'm gonna set my threshold to about negative 25. I'm going to keep everything in this area right here. So negative twin, the FBI DB, something around here. And the ratio, I'm going to send it at four. And it sounds like this. Hello and welcome to my video editing class. The levels are so it kind of all over the place. That's because the compressors a little bit too slow, so I'm gonna make it a little faster. The velocity of the attack, or how fast the compressor starts to work is measured in milliseconds by turning it down where making it faster. Hello and welcome to my video editing class. I'm making the release a little bit faster as well. Hello and welcome to my video editing class. Again, it turned out the threshold a little bit more. Well, hello and welcome to my video editing class. And now I'm going to compensate with makeup. Hello, and welcome to my video editing class. You wonder master output to be at around negative six, anywhere between negative 12 and negative six, it's going to be good. Hello and welcome to my video editing class. That's pretty good. Hello and welcome to my video editing class. That's without and now with the compressor, Hello and welcome to my video editing class. That's basically how you level audio. Another thing is adding music. Here we have the song that we were working with earlier. So I'm going to cut it. And we have two ways of lowering the volume of the clip. One is to actually lower the volume of the actual clip. Just need to look for this line right here. Click and drag down. Or you just click the clip, go to your inspector and lowered the volume. And another way to do it is to lower the volume of the entire channel. Keep in mind that if you have other clips here, that's going to affect the entire channel. The way you do that is by going to your mixer, which you can access right here, or go to fair length. And here's your mixture as well. And since this is our second channel, you just lower the volume around negative 24 is skewed for music. When you have Voice in the foreground. Hello and welcome to my video editing class. Sometimes a little bit less if the music is a little too loud. Hello and welcome to my video editing class. And I usually add a limiter, the master channel. So we go to dynamics, fair light limiter. And I use a preset break wall that is going to make sure that no audio is going to get a bob minus1 after audio goes above 0 decibels, that's gonna make the audio clip, or in other words, it's going to sound distorted. Hello and welcome to my video editing class. And you have lots of audio effects that you can experiment with to get a little bit more creative. But this is basically how you handle the volume of your audio for your video. You can also automate the volume of Eclipse. For example. Maybe you want the music to be louder at first and then come down before the voice starts talking. In this case, we can use keyframes as well. So at first we're going to start at this volume. It's going to remain at that volume until here. And then here. Going to come down. I'm gonna take two up a little bit because I know it's a little bit more quiet because we already use that channel volume to bring it down. So now it sounds like this. Hello and welcome to my video editing class. Aim here we can add another key frame and then bring it back up. 13. Render: Okay, so the last thing we need to do is rendering our video. So we're gonna go to the deliberate page. And here we have all of the different formats that we can use. The insurer is salt comes with YouTube presets. If you want to upload your video to YouTube, it has a pretty set that's optimized for Vimeo. You can change the resolution as well. I usually use an H.264 master, which is basically an MP4 video. And you also have the ability to export your project so you can open it with different video editing suites, or you can also just rendered the audio. In this case, we're going to render a master MP4 file. So we're gonna click on H.264 and we're going to give it a name. We're gonna click on Browse to look for the folder. In this case, I'm going to select Render. It's going to be single clip video file. And the format is going to be MPEG-4, H.264. Make sure you're using the resolution you want. In this case, 1080 by 192024 frames per second. I'm going forward the best render resolution possible. Encoding profile. I just live it in automatic. And that's pretty much all you need to change. And if you need to change, anything else, you can go to advanced settings. But I rarely touched that. Actually, I've never done that. Here you have the preview of what you are rendering. And now under here you have the option to select the entire timeline. Or you can also select in and out and just export and in and out range. In this case, we want to export the entire thing so we select the entire timeline. Now you need to click on add to render queue. And that means that all of the settings that we just went over are saved here. This is going to render when we click on start render, we can also change the settings and click on Add to render queue, export different versions at the same time. Rag now we just want to render the master version. So we're gonna click on the start render. And here you can see the progress of your export. Here it says it's gonna take about three minutes. And the rendered time depends on how long your video is, how many clips you have. The resolution of the clips, animations call our granting. The more you add, the longer it's going to take to your render. And it also depends on how fast your computer is, how good ear processor is, how much RAM you have, and how much video memory you have. Now that it's done rendering, it's gonna give you this message that says completed. And it's going to tell you how long it took to render. And now we can go to the folder that we'd selected earlier. And we can watch our video. 14. Low Resolution Previews: Sometimes when you first get started, you don't have the best computer in the world. So when you're editing, sometimes it playback is not as smooth as you would like it to be. And sometimes it's definitely not as smooth as you need it to be. Sometimes your playback will be so slow that you can't even make sure that the cuts are exactly where you want them. So for example, if we're watching the video into playback, like there, for example, I wasn't able to see exactly where it cut because a playback is not refreshing as fast as I need it to be. So what can I do? I'm going to render this part of the video and see if the edit that I made these working. So we're gonna go to deliver, I'm gonna zoom in. I'm going to select in and out range. And it automatically changes do in and out of range. And I'm going to select H.264 test. I'm going to select the same folder. I'm gonna change it to aim before H.264. And I'm going to lower the resolution. I don't need more than 720. And we can go for low quality. And that's gonna make it render Wave faster. We start render and it's taking, it has like 105, I can't even keep up. It's so fast. And there it is. Now we can actually see what we're doing. There it is. The video, it looks very bad, but now you can actually see what you're doing. So now I know that the cut is exactly where I want it to be. And this is simply a workaround so that you can actually preview the video you're making at when the previous, not as fast as you need it to be. 15. Class Project: For your class project, I encourage you all to share your videos with us. You can post a link for an unlisted YouTube videos so that we can all see what you've created. You can also share screen captures of your timelines. 16. Ending: Congratulations for reaching the end of this class. Editing videos is a skill that you need to practice to get good at. The more you do it, the faster you'll get at it, and the more comfortable you get your tools, in this case your editing software, the more they get out of your way when you're trying to create something, don't get discouraged guys, be patient with yourselves. I notice a lot of information, but I know that everyone can do it as long as you put in the time. Editing videos can be very technical, but it can also be buried creatively fulfilling process. Because you are free to create whatever you want. For me, it is a lot and it makes me very happy to share my experience with you. I hope you guys will have fun making your videos. And if you have any questions, you can post them here and I'll be more than happy to answer them. You can find me on Instagram at Adrian dot Rusk andante. And I also have a YouTube channel, youtube.com slash Adrian rescaling. Thank you very much for taking this class. I'll see you in the next one.
