1 00:00:00,390 --> 00:00:04,290 We're going to take a look at now is Windows 11 video editor. 2 00:00:04,890 --> 00:00:10,950 Now it's not the most complex of video editing software, but for quick videos it is perfect. 3 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:18,030 So let's just go ahead and open up the video editor, succumb to the search magnifying glass here and 4 00:00:18,030 --> 00:00:19,410 just type in video editor. 5 00:00:23,540 --> 00:00:26,240 And here it is, and we'll open this. 6 00:00:26,540 --> 00:00:31,190 Now there's a few projects here I've already worked on, but I'm not going to open any of these. 7 00:00:31,490 --> 00:00:35,060 What I need you to do is open up a new video project. 8 00:00:35,780 --> 00:00:37,970 And at this point, you can name your project. 9 00:00:38,510 --> 00:00:39,830 So think of any name you want. 10 00:00:39,830 --> 00:00:44,330 But I'm going to call it the ocean, and I'm going to have to call it the ocean number three, because 11 00:00:44,330 --> 00:00:48,630 I think I already have another two projects called the ocean or something like that. 12 00:00:49,130 --> 00:00:52,430 But you can call it whatever you like and then click, OK. 13 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,140 I don't actually like this dark theme, so what I'm going to do is I'm just going to minimize this and 14 00:00:58,140 --> 00:01:01,200 I'm going to go to right click personalize. 15 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,280 I just have the brighter theme, so let's just go for this one hit. 16 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:08,610 I think that's much better. 17 00:01:11,730 --> 00:01:17,610 OK, so back in the video, Ed, now before this tutorial, there was an article that allowed you to 18 00:01:17,610 --> 00:01:18,840 download a video. 19 00:01:19,110 --> 00:01:24,900 And what I want to do with that video is really shorten it down to a video less than 30 seconds long, 20 00:01:25,260 --> 00:01:28,170 and I've got a quick preview of what we're going to create. 21 00:01:28,530 --> 00:01:31,590 Now, it's quite a simple video in its nature. 22 00:01:31,860 --> 00:01:33,330 There's nothing complex about it. 23 00:01:33,630 --> 00:01:38,790 But by the end of this tutorial, you should have a good understanding of how to use this editor. 24 00:01:39,180 --> 00:01:41,190 So let's just quickly take a look at this video. 25 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,570 OK, so the first thing to do is to put the video in this area here. 26 00:02:15,690 --> 00:02:19,050 The project library, so I'll go to add. 27 00:02:20,330 --> 00:02:26,060 And we'll go to from this PC, and we'll you'll have to do what you have to go locate that video that 28 00:02:26,060 --> 00:02:30,740 you downloaded, it might be in your downloads folder, which will be here. 29 00:02:31,490 --> 00:02:34,340 But as for me, the video itself is. 30 00:02:35,990 --> 00:02:36,680 Right here. 31 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,690 So I'll select it and I'll click open. 32 00:02:39,230 --> 00:02:40,220 And now we get to go. 33 00:02:40,730 --> 00:02:43,430 So with regard to this area here, there's only a few tools. 34 00:02:43,670 --> 00:02:48,800 You have the general layout of what you want your files to look at, and there's only two options to 35 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:49,370 choose from. 36 00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:53,030 There's the smaller icons and then the larger ones. 37 00:02:53,390 --> 00:02:56,930 In fact, I don't think they're called icons, maybe thumbnails or something like that. 38 00:02:57,830 --> 00:02:59,120 I prefer the smaller ones. 39 00:02:59,510 --> 00:03:02,360 And then there's delete, and then there is placed in storyboard. 40 00:03:02,780 --> 00:03:09,140 But what I can do is just click, hold and drag down onto the first square here, which is exactly the 41 00:03:09,140 --> 00:03:11,450 same as placing it in the storyboard. 42 00:03:12,020 --> 00:03:13,850 All right, so we have the video fully loaded now. 43 00:03:14,210 --> 00:03:18,560 Now one tool I'm going to show you, but we're not actually going to use it to build the video itself 44 00:03:18,830 --> 00:03:21,020 is going to be the split tool. 45 00:03:21,290 --> 00:03:23,750 So I'll quickly introduce you to this tool and how it works. 46 00:03:23,900 --> 00:03:25,010 It is pretty straightforward. 47 00:03:25,490 --> 00:03:28,250 So with our video in our timeline here. 48 00:03:28,370 --> 00:03:34,250 Also known as the storyboard, I can select it and I'll go to split. 49 00:03:35,750 --> 00:03:41,930 And what are we going to be doing here is splitting the video into, so I'm going to split the video 50 00:03:42,890 --> 00:03:46,970 at about the 22nd mark, so roughly around here. 51 00:03:47,420 --> 00:03:48,650 And it tells me, OK. 52 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:53,690 Clip one will be over 20 seconds or around 20 seconds, and Clip two will be three minutes long. 53 00:03:54,260 --> 00:03:55,130 So I'll click done. 54 00:03:56,730 --> 00:03:59,340 Now we've ended up with two clips in our storyboard. 55 00:03:59,370 --> 00:04:04,080 We have the 20 second clip and the the clip that is just over three minutes. 56 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:11,010 So Dan, if you could see what happened there, we actually subtracted 20 seconds from the original 57 00:04:11,010 --> 00:04:15,930 clip because as you can see with the original clip, it's actually three minutes and 21 seconds long. 58 00:04:16,410 --> 00:04:17,930 So let's just do that one more time. 59 00:04:17,940 --> 00:04:18,900 So you understand it. 60 00:04:19,110 --> 00:04:19,920 I'll select it. 61 00:04:20,130 --> 00:04:21,540 I'll come to split. 62 00:04:22,290 --> 00:04:28,980 And this time I'm going to split the video at the one minute mark, and that should leave us with one 63 00:04:28,980 --> 00:04:31,410 clip of which is one minute long. 64 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,020 And then the second clip is two minutes. 65 00:04:36,820 --> 00:04:41,980 So now I'll clip our main video, which is this video here has been split in three places. 66 00:04:42,370 --> 00:04:48,760 Now, if I really wants to, I could click hold and drag this onto our storyboard and carry on cutting 67 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:49,840 it as I wish. 68 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,060 I should rather say splitting it. 69 00:04:52,540 --> 00:04:55,840 But I'm not going to do that because I don't have push by my computer too far. 70 00:04:56,050 --> 00:04:57,760 I think it's already struggling a little bit. 71 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,450 OK, so that's how the split tool works. 72 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,740 But like I said, we're going to focus mostly on the trim tool to make this video. 73 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,830 So let's get rid of these video clips. 74 00:05:08,830 --> 00:05:09,640 You can select them. 75 00:05:11,340 --> 00:05:13,260 And then just go to delete. 76 00:05:14,580 --> 00:05:18,300 And once again, I'm going to click, hold and drag the video into the storyboard. 77 00:05:19,990 --> 00:05:24,140 And before we go any further with regard to editing this video clip here. 78 00:05:24,850 --> 00:05:27,060 I'm going to add a title card now. 79 00:05:27,070 --> 00:05:30,370 I could see it's actually struggling a little bit here to load the video like at the beginning. 80 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,810 So what I'm going to do is I'm just going to delete it and drag it back in. 81 00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:36,310 And this sometimes works. 82 00:05:37,690 --> 00:05:38,200 There you go. 83 00:05:38,230 --> 00:05:39,040 So it worked. 84 00:05:39,370 --> 00:05:40,900 So I forget my train of thoughts now. 85 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:43,470 OK, so what are we going to do? 86 00:05:43,470 --> 00:05:49,290 Is we going to add a title card before we actually move on to trimming this video itself and making 87 00:05:49,290 --> 00:05:49,740 the video? 88 00:05:50,370 --> 00:05:53,160 So I'm going to click on Add Title Card. 89 00:05:54,420 --> 00:05:56,270 And we end up with this sort of pink slide. 90 00:05:56,630 --> 00:06:00,650 Now you notice when I click on the video itself, we have all of these options show up. 91 00:06:01,100 --> 00:06:06,890 But when I click on the pink slide itself, we only have a few options now with regards to the title 92 00:06:06,890 --> 00:06:07,210 card. 93 00:06:07,220 --> 00:06:10,280 It's more about text than anything else. 94 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,280 And you can choose the duration of your title card. 95 00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:19,100 So if I click on this, I can have these time settings here, or I can choose my own time setting. 96 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,290 I can add another title card. 97 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,880 You can also add a background so you have these different color themes. 98 00:06:28,740 --> 00:06:30,660 And you have a color picker here as well. 99 00:06:30,900 --> 00:06:33,630 So let's go for maybe this color here. 100 00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:36,330 I'll click OK, and I'll click done. 101 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:43,500 Now, when it comes to text, and I've just got to make sure that this is actually selected, I'll come 102 00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:46,470 to text and know what I'm going to do is I'm just going to type in. 103 00:06:48,650 --> 00:06:54,500 The word today, and I'm going to choose the animated style itself and the one I used in the original 104 00:06:54,500 --> 00:06:56,270 video is this one here? 105 00:06:56,990 --> 00:07:01,670 And once you've done that, you can choose the layout, so how it's actually going to be laid out in 106 00:07:01,670 --> 00:07:03,830 the clip itself. 107 00:07:04,250 --> 00:07:10,700 So there's a few options, but the one I chose in the video is this one here now with this slider down 108 00:07:10,700 --> 00:07:11,240 at the bottom? 109 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:16,250 You can choose when you want this animated text to actually come in. 110 00:07:16,610 --> 00:07:18,950 So we have a three second clip, as you can see here. 111 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:25,910 If I move the slider to about half way, it means that this animation will show at about the 1.5 second 112 00:07:25,910 --> 00:07:26,450 mark. 113 00:07:26,780 --> 00:07:30,060 But what I want to do is have the animation show straight away. 114 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,130 The text animation. 115 00:07:31,490 --> 00:07:33,320 So I'll click done a sorry. 116 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:38,060 I want the text animation to show right the way through the whole clip, so click done at this point. 117 00:07:39,530 --> 00:07:44,330 I just remember again, you can come to duration, and if you really want to, you can change this to 118 00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:46,250 maybe five seconds or something like that. 119 00:07:46,910 --> 00:07:52,850 And if I come back to text now, you can see we have this extra two seconds, so I'd have to edit this 120 00:07:53,390 --> 00:07:56,330 and drag it out so that the whole thing covers five seconds. 121 00:07:57,140 --> 00:08:02,150 But what I want to do is just keep it at around this, the three second mark, and it was going to keep 122 00:08:02,150 --> 00:08:03,020 this at three seconds. 123 00:08:03,020 --> 00:08:04,450 I don't want any more than that. 124 00:08:05,990 --> 00:08:08,360 I'll just double check to make sure that this is all the way. 125 00:08:09,890 --> 00:08:11,070 OK, that's fine. 126 00:08:11,090 --> 00:08:12,200 Actually, what did I do there? 127 00:08:14,010 --> 00:08:14,820 OK, that's better. 128 00:08:16,610 --> 00:08:18,650 Now, if I were to click play. 129 00:08:20,090 --> 00:08:21,590 So I'll click on the first clip here. 130 00:08:22,750 --> 00:08:27,280 You see, we have the animation for three seconds and then we move into the larger video. 131 00:08:28,090 --> 00:08:30,220 OK, so let's take care of the larger video. 132 00:08:30,700 --> 00:08:34,390 So like I said before, we're not going to be using Split. 133 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,460 We're going to be using mostly trim. 134 00:08:36,820 --> 00:08:38,890 So with this clip selected, I'll come to trim. 135 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:47,050 And what I'm going to do is I'm just going to have this first clip here where it's the boat, whatever 136 00:08:47,050 --> 00:08:51,190 it is, is moving along the water along the ocean's edge there. 137 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:57,280 And all I want is to have the the sorry, the first five seconds of this clip. 138 00:08:58,090 --> 00:08:59,500 So roughly around five seconds. 139 00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:05,170 And you can see as I move around, we do have a timer here telling us how long the duration is. 140 00:09:05,890 --> 00:09:06,700 So click done. 141 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:14,830 And now we have a five second clip of this boat moving along the water and filming the cliff side here. 142 00:09:15,990 --> 00:09:16,710 So there you go. 143 00:09:16,790 --> 00:09:18,330 This clips about five seconds. 144 00:09:20,420 --> 00:09:24,290 OK, that's perfect now what I'm going to do is because I need more material to trim. 145 00:09:24,680 --> 00:09:26,550 I'm going to go get the clip once again. 146 00:09:26,570 --> 00:09:32,210 The larger clip and drag it into my storyboard, I'll select it and come to trim. 147 00:09:32,930 --> 00:09:38,000 And with these drag handles here, I'm looking for my second view, which I know is the sort of sort 148 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,610 of bird's eye view right here. 149 00:09:41,670 --> 00:09:44,580 And all I want is just to have this for about seven seconds. 150 00:09:44,820 --> 00:09:47,400 So looking at that timer in between my drag handles here. 151 00:09:50,380 --> 00:09:51,490 I think that's perfect. 152 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:58,060 So now I can click done, and I have this clip here and once again, without even looking at it and 153 00:09:58,060 --> 00:10:02,320 where to click and sorry, click hold and drag the clip back into my storyboard. 154 00:10:03,610 --> 00:10:06,130 I'll select it and I'll come to trim. 155 00:10:08,220 --> 00:10:15,300 And I think it was this rock on the ocean side right here that I want, and I only want this for about 156 00:10:15,300 --> 00:10:16,200 five seconds. 157 00:10:17,220 --> 00:10:18,960 So again, looking at those figures? 158 00:10:20,910 --> 00:10:22,530 I won it for about five seconds. 159 00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:25,770 They go, I'll click done that, Clippers done. 160 00:10:26,070 --> 00:10:29,100 And then finally, the last one is going to be. 161 00:10:31,690 --> 00:10:38,920 I think it was this sort of this camera moving up, looking down on this big rock or something like 162 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:39,280 that. 163 00:10:39,700 --> 00:10:41,130 So anyway, I'll select the clip. 164 00:10:41,140 --> 00:10:45,640 I'll come to trim and I'm going to just look for that clip. 165 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:48,330 But here it is right here.
