And then C uhm so you filmed your video and D? (Intense Music Plays) Sorry if I tensed you basically D is "I love Clifford" Jokes aside well the process before uploading your video to YouTube and after filming is what you call editing your video well editing might be tough, boring, and exhaustive. Well, what
beginner YouTubers do is go for a big editor like Davinci resolve or Adobe premiere pro and they end up getting confused and doing something wrong! So that's why this video is for beginners who have just started out their YouTube channel and want to edit their videos. In this video, I'm going to be showing you how to edit your videos from start to finish with a free and easy video editor that is buried inside your laptop so let's jump on the pc and I'll show you how to do that! So now I'm on my pc and what I gotta do straight over is search for the app photos and click on the best match. So once I search for the app photos I'll be landing on any other app which just looks like a photos app on your mobile phone. You have your collection of photos you've taken your pc and you have your albums and photos people and folders and you can search for people and things you can also create you can also select your photos or you can do many many other things you can import files and you can do all of those things but the most important thing that everyone almost forget is everyone almost don't even see this option what you call "Video editor". So this is going to be the video editor we're going to be using to edit our videos. You can simply click on this to access the video editor or click on this option which says new video and start a new video project. Once you land on this new video project you'll be landing
on this kind of a page the first thing you gotta do is basically name your video naming your video is the most important thing so that it does have a name, isn't it? So you have to keep you had to name your video. In this case, I'm gonna name it a new video and I will rename it at the end so the next step is basically adding a couple of photos to your project library before we get into that I'll just tell you a brief explanation about this editor well basically here's the project library where you attach your files and this is the storyboard where you drag your files into and play it up and then you have these couple of options we're going to be looking at further when we're going in this video and then you have all those options the top just those options and ethics we're going to be using in this video don't mind these are completely easy and simple options which I'm going to be teaching you how to use every single of these in this video. Back to the video! So you have three options to attach so i'm going to be using the first option which is from this pc basically this option is taking files from your pc if you're clicking on this option you're going to be taking files from this pc but in but in just in case you want to use any of those other two options I'll explain you this second option which says for my collection is the option which is from your collection if you click on that let's say you want this image with this photo this video then you can just click on that and just put insert but in this case i don't want that or you want any images from the web let's say you're going you're making a dark slideshow you can click on dog and just select a couple of the cute docs that you're going to be that you're going to be using but in this case I'm going to be going with from this pc so once I click on that I have saved my files in the documents in a folder called photos videos samples so what I gotta do is attach these files you can attach all of those files one by one or attach all those files by clicking on the shift key and clicking on the last last file from the first file so now i have all of my files attached into my project library the next thing is basically putting in the your files into the storyboard so there are two ways to do this way number one option number one is basically click on this and just drag it in or in let's say you're not comfortable with that you can select the file you want to put in the storyboard and you can put place on storyboard and then voila so this is how you attach all of your files accordingly so once you once once you're done with that all you got to do is attach all of your files in the order you want to so once i'm done attaching all of my files I'm set to go not yet so now I have all those files into the place but then I want a good intro to start of this video you want the video to start off with the scenery you want people to understand what the video is about so I'm going to be putting this i'm going to be clicking on this option which says add title card you should do the same so once you click on add title card option you'll be having the simple ad title card it says title and then yeah nothing else so to edit this you have to click on text and you can edit this title card firstly you have to take out the default title which says title again and you got to put in the title you want to put so i'm going to putting nature is everywhere so that's the theme of this video so i'm going to be putting nature is everywhere so once i'm done with that i also have different types of fonts let's say the simple font is just not good or actually not attractive it's going to be a little bit boring i want to make it a little bit better by adding some different fonts to make the scene better so I'm going to be going through a couple of fonts and what i personally love is this holiday pond as this fun is a new font to the photos video editor not only that this is a moving a font with a moving video that is making the video look more realistic and more better so that's that's what i gotta do i'm gonna be putting holiday font but you can go with the font you love so when that's done you have another thing to to look at let's say the green color that you put for this font is not good enough so i'm gonna be changing the background of this well this is pretty easy i can click on white if i want white but let's say white is just not good i could probably get click orange and voila it's so attractive you can click on the color you want to use in this case i'm clicking the on the color which is pale bust which is so good for me so i am good to go so the next thing i'm going to be doing is changing durations how to change durations you can change durations only for images that not videos in this case i've attached a couple of images and a couple of videos so for this image uh for this image i let's say i only want a small duration i don't want the image to go all the way for three seconds so then i could just click on this and i can put two which is going to be giving my image it's going to be putting in my image so am i putting in my image to two seconds i want to do the same for this then i could just click on the timestamp and pick two and then accordingly i could do that for everything else so once i'm done with that the next thing you want to the next thing you want to consider is those black bars let's say you take an image in a different ratio which is showing those black bars for example you take your image in portrait then you have black spaces near it and you want them to fill up so what you got to do is click on this option which says remove or show black parts so you have two options and here's where the option says remove black bars so if you click on that option it basically zooms in the image and takes up those black boards to make it look more up to up to out of the point and distractions off so i can do that for the files that's that that have black bars and i could just adjust them accordingly so that my video looks good the next document we're going to be looking at is 3d effects basically 3d effects is adding in some visual effects to make the video look more realistic in this case i'm not going to be adding any effect but i'm going to be showing you how to add them let's say you want a glow let's say you want let's say you're making a breaking news let's say you're gonna be talking about how the coronavirus started then you can put this and put on breaking news and just put it in and the music comes accordingly like in the news you see so you can attach whatever effort you want in the effects library also you can also you can search for different effects in the 3d library you can search for animals and insects words and symbols action and adventure costumes blah blah blah so you can search for the effects you want and just insert them you know the you know the storyboard so that's how you add 3d effects and then the next thing we're going to be looking at is what you call filters folders is basically changing the changing the color the saturation the contrast of the image to make it sound different so let's say you want classic you can see that you see a small difference in the image it turns out to be more lighter an adventure you see a deep decline in the saturation in energy you have a boost in saturation and then enjoy it's just joy and in pixel it's pixelated in this case i'm okay with original so i'm going to be going with original and then the next thing is trimming your video trimming your video can be one of the most important things in editing your video so while editing your video you want to trim some parts which are not needed in order to trim it you can directly click on this you can click directly click on the timestamp on the video you want to trim or you can click on this option which says stream after selecting the video you want to trim so now i'm going to be clicking on trim and here you go so let's say i want to trim everything else than this so i want to make the video let's say 10 seconds because i don't want this video to play all the time so i'm going to make it 10 9.9 seconds and
voila now the video is 9.9 seconds which is quite good the next thing is quality cold play this option is basically used when you're switching between two scenes let's say you're suddenly talking about um let's say you're talk you're making a video on which dogs you like in in my case i love cliff ward so you're recording a video so you you're recording a single video and you first go for clifford and then another dog you don't want the clifford and the other dock to play continuously so you can click on this you can click on the split option to split up the split up the timestamp accordingly so in this case i'm going to be splitting up this image this video only up to 10 seconds and then i'm gonna be playing it as another part so once that's done i just gotta click spill split and just give done see if that's done i would be splitting my file which is 34 seconds to 10 and 24 seconds in this case i don't want this file so i'm going to be clicking on this and i'm going to be clicking delete so now my file is 10 seconds which is completely fine which is going to be making my video lens smaller as well and then the next option is called speed let's say or let's say you're doing something let's say you're making a cooking video so you're doing some cooking and then you're taking some objects and putting it in let's say you're putting in some pies you're taking the spice and putting it in to the to or to the pan or whatever it is which is going to take a lot of time so you can simply what you can do is just put you could simply fast forward that place where you're going to be doing that so in this case i don't want the 10 second quick let's say i want to make it 1.25 seconds so my clips length get reduces so that's done and now my clips length has reduced the next thing you can do is rotate your file let's say when you were recording you were recording in the wrong sign let's say you were recording your video upside down in this case you can just do this and uh turn your file and to make sure that it's in the right right right place but in this case for me again it's right so i don't know how to do anything so that's that's that's basically the options you have here and you can do trim split text 3d effects folders and speed and another option that you can use to record to record different angle of videos is basically use this motion option let's say you suddenly want to zoom into your video then you can put in the zoom in center which will basically zoom in the video and then accordingly you have all those options you can put in the right pin the left you can put tools up you can tilt it down zoom out left and blah blah blah in this case i'm completely fine with my no not an option so that's how you that's how you do that and then once you're done with all those options the important thing to to youtube videos is basically youtube videos or any other videos background music you want your video to keep on running source like running without even a like a music which is going to be just so quiet if i play my video it's going to be so quiet but this case i want some music to make to set up this theme in this case i'm going to be coming uh given this music which is blossoming you can click on the music whatever you want in this built-in music library you have a couple of musics here you can choose which one you want but let's say you don't want this music and you want to attach your own music let's let's say you're an island walker fan and you want to attach the faded music in your in your pc then you can click on custom audio and then add the audio files from your pc but in this case no need i'm okay with the blasting you can click on the background music you want and all you got to do is just click on click on ok so in this case i'm going to click on blossoming and i'm going to reduce the music all the way to 60 so that the volume isn't too much high or too much low in any case so once i play this let's let me play a sample clip you can see that my music is playing but let's say the music is not right it's not matching then i could probably put this one which i which is magical season or the music i want i love happy bit personally but you can use whatever music you want so that's the music i'm going to be using for this video and that set so that's it so once that's done i'm done with music trimming splitting editing speed rotating changing ratio etc etc and then here's a couple of options that you can use as well well this is where you have a couple of options let's say you want to duplicate the project and do a different version of this you can click on duplicate and make another version let's say you want to backup the project to your file let's say you're switching to another pc you can possibly backup your project your drive or google drive or anything else and this is where another interesting option comes well this option is called themes and you can set a theme by clicking on that what this option does is it categorizes a couple of themes and if you click on these themes it it basically uh optimizes the right music the right style the right text the right folder so let's say i'll play adventure so if you look at this video it basically brings bringing that adventurer theme let's say we want to chill with you so that music that vibe everything is basically chilling in this case i'm completely okay with my video done so then i have a couple of other options too this is where you change the ratio of your video let's say you're not okay with a 16x3 16x9 ratio you can make it 4x3 but in this case i'm using 16x9 or you want to upload a youtube short you can pick the make portrait option and you can use the 9x16 or 3x4 ratio in the shorts video and then but in this case i'm using a landscape mode so i'm going to be using 16x9 landscape ratio so the final option final option is basically sending feedback and settings in the settings you don't have anything much it's basically the file where you want to save it and those things etc etcetera so in this case i'm done with editing my video and i have to add my final clip which says the outro video so i'm gonna be putting that in place and i'm gonna be uploading my video in order to upload it first i gotta in order to export it first i gotta click on finish video the option on the top right corner once i click on that i would get this drop down menu in this drop down menu i have three options which is 1080p 720p and 540p how much lower the quality the lower the final size let's say you you don't want a high quality video then you could put on 540 or 720 but i and this photos editor itself recommends 1080p unfortunately this editor does not have a 1080 uh 4k video but then 1080p is just crisp in any case so now i'm done with my video and i want to save it in my folder so i'm going to be putting in the folder i'm going to be saving it in so what i'm going to be doing is nature everywhere because that's the topic isn't it basically nature everywhere once i once i do that i could basically just click on export and wait for the file to be exporting so now it's almost done exporting and once it's exported a file will open up the preview of this video so now a video has opened and this is how the video looks thank you for watching this video if you enjoyed the if you enjoyed watching it i would appreciate you giving it a thumbs up and um now i'll hand it over to you which of these editing tips or which of which which part of editing do you like the most adding sound effects with music to your videos to make it sound more interesting or to put in some great effects to make it look more cool just like this yay love it all right i'll catch you in the next one
