Basics of Editing Videos
If you have never done video editing before, you should know that it’s pretty easy to get started. It is important to know that changing videos is mostly pretty simple and only takes a few simple steps that anyone can do. Some of these basics are trimming and adjusting clips, adding transitions, and adding text. That being said, let’s look more closely at each of these areas to learn how to make your videos look more good.
How to Start Editing Videos
Most of the time, you need to keep things simple when you are just starting.
Make a plan first: Before you change the subtopics, do the following to make sure you don’t end up with a movie that doesn’t live up to your hopes: In this case, knowing both the story you want to tell and the idea you want to show is important.
Know AboutYour Software: Figure out how to use your software. Whether you’re using Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, or something easier like iMovie, you should take some time to learn how the editor works. You can use the tutorials and guides that come with almost all apps to quickly learn how to use them.
Keep Your Edits Simple: Don’t add too many effects or changes to your clips to make your video look too flashy. Also, keep in mind that the easiest cuts and trims are better at making a strong statement than the most complicated ones.
For beginners who want to make movies that flow well and are interesting, it is important to understand the basics of editing.
How to Start Editing: The Basics
This is the most basic step in the process of video editing:
Cutting and Shrinking Your Clips: This means taking out parts of your movie that aren’t needed or that get in the way of your story. Like in real life, trying something new will help you win. Try out different cuts to see how they affect your flow.
With Transitions: You can add things that go between the clips and make the whole thing look better. The words fade in, fade out, dissolve, and wipe all mean “return.” You don’t need to use these very often; a simple cut is generally enough to connect scenes.
Text Overlays: You can help your video editing in another way by adding text to the screen to draw attention to it and give information. Make sure the writing is easy to read and doesn’t repeat too much of what you said in the video. Type words below or above the screen, and make sure the font is clean.
Simple Tips for Editing Videos
Once you know the basics, let’s look at some easy video editing tips that will make your movies look more professional:
Simple Effects: This is where you add simple things to your video to make it look better, like color correction or effects. But there is a limit to how far you can go with it. It is suggested that small changes be made that will improve the look of the site overall without drawing attention to the design.
Audio Changes: It’s important to remember that good sound is just as important as good video. Changes in audio gain that cause the volume to be different in different parts of the movie are something to avoid. You can also add background music or sound effects but don’t use too many of them so they drown out the main sound.
Export Settings: Once you’re done changing the video, choosing the right export settings is another important step to keep the quality of the video. Make sure that when you export your video, it is the right size and file for the site where it will be shared, like Instagram, YouTube, or another one.
Last Thoughts
If you have never done video editing before, it can be hard to know where to start. But if you follow the steps above, you should be able to make great videos. If you want to start over, work out often, and be artistic, you should tell yourself that. This is especially true for rewriting. The more you do it, the better you’ll get at it.
Great! What is your first video editing project you’re excited to start working on now that you know how to do these things?
