 Welcome back everyone to our last session before the closing remarks. We've got Edouard here and We are going to be listening to his talk on the basics of video and audio editing He's a fedora enthusiast, you know using Linux since 2005, so I'm sure he has a lot to share And I'm excited to hear all about it. So I'll let you take it away Thank you, Malin. Well Where are you going to see right now? It's just a very basic thing on how to do some of the most of it Two or three most common things that you do with video and audio in a computer It's not intended to technical people, but a lot of people do this in in their life because it's just fun and the first thing I'm going to do is to show you how to very quickly do a video with photos of pictures and This is Like I do and make sure a short video with your pictures with your memories to do to share in Social media or with your family via any way you want to do so the first thing I'm going to do is share my screen this very cute Awesome software is called OpenShot. It's a video editor. It's very similar The layout is very similar to KD in life that we saw Yesterday, I think or in the first day and not sure. I think what the first day we did We have a presentation of KD in life the difference in the layout is that we don't have two Preview paints we just have this one, but the project files are here and the tracks The thing the difference also is that the tracks are both media. It could be audio Video and pictures. It's not separated. There is no separated tracks for audio and video So what a track is is just a layer. It's a layer of the composition you're going to do so if you want to put a Several stuff for example an audio will be a layer over or under the video It doesn't matter because audio and video are not shown but if you put one video over all On top of the other in the in the layers. They are going to over post So the thing here is you need to be a little bit creative on how you manage and the thing is that this all this softwares including Katie and life including our city including open shot there Helped you to fix things One next to the other to go to don't overlay. So the free thing that I'm going to do in a video It will be to a to do a Slideshot with your pictures. So the free thing is importing the files It's just click in the project files or you can do just Import files. It's not open file or open project or open project is to save the Hold the window with all the tracks or everything that is related to your video project The things you are going to add Thinking Katie and I work out resource like here. They're here. Here are just files. So import files And then you go to your location. I just choose a lot of of beautiful beautiful beautiful bias so I think then then The manual way to do it should just to drag and drop your image here and Then drag the other and you see when you get close to the other it aligning by itself And then you can put the other one and then you can go one by one And when you can you do the preview This is way too slow. It just changed the image But that's not exactly Beautiful or compelling the other thing is this This software arm now Function very similar to how fine manager functions or a text editor functions You can just click sensing and click and do control X to code Or and control C and control V and you can paste it and move it just with Drag and drop. So now it's very very easy to use this type of software So if I want to select everything I just click I did a square and everything inside the square is selected and now I can delete so if you select all your Your resources and you drag them Here it doesn't happen anything Yes, it doesn't happen anything, but if you do Here in in any of the file here you do right-click and then you clean add to timeline Then you have a way to put all the images Sort the images and even put a transition and effect between the images And you can put how much time you want to each image to be shown on there on your screen So you can select the track. I normally use the track five that is the The upper one in the default you can up or delete tracks Then I use start time at zero the first one is in the zero seconds Fading and fade out is just like It's an effect, but if you're going to add a transition, I don't recommend to use fading But that's totally up to you. You can do I have a lot of effects like fade like I say fade is just the image go Lighter and until it's complete and then is up the opacity was down down down until it disappears Wipe out this just from bottom to top or why left to right or right to left or top to bottom For a square is that that effect that you have a lot of squares with the image and then move From the left from the right bar ripple. There is a lot of effect. I just want to do this random and The transition I want to length one second and the duration of each image to be I'm going to want to do three seconds So Finally you have a key that you finally here on estimation of Of the duration of the video you're going you're doing You click okay, and the magic is done Every you can see this because they are very small But what you can do is you click you hit the key enter and the control sorry and where your mouse will You can just go up and you will see a bigger representation each of one is a Representation of an image this this blue square is the representation of the effect of the transition effect So there is even a transition effect from the image incoming So you can see the preview and there is an effect three seconds the other one and the other one and you have a very Quick video with a lot of pictures in this case. I just grab a ton of the badges I have and put it there Also, you if you want to put some music song audio some audio file It's not hard just import a new file and the find you're going to import should be an audio file You can do WAF MP3 or anything And then I recommend to put the other tracks in another in another track I See you're not going to hear it that when you can pull it you hit play again. You need to put the pointer of the video Zero is this one. I Said you can do this. Yes, you're was for that, but You can go to the beginning or to the end There you go, then you can click play Right now, I'm very sure that you cannot hear it, but they need to see if I can do this and of course every audio file has adoration in the term in time in terms of what is Working with a video or audio file is different because you cannot could an audio is going to just mute by a brutally but You can prepare your audio track in audacity that is the next things I'm going to do and other thing that Normally people do a lot. I'm impressed about how much people do this is to put what is called. I think a watermark and Correct me in the in the chat if this is not there the right Term the right word, but I think it's a watermark if you want to put a video with a watermark So I just want to clean the project. So what I do is control With the wheel of the mouse I just go down down down down to put this small and then you can just select everything and Be lit and there your project is gone so for a watermark what What you want to do is to put To do To overexpose to to expose one image in over the video now I want a watermark So how can I do it? Well in this case? Just move your your project to your files to the other track I want to put this at zero Then I want to use the Fedora logo here But that thing is going to to be all over them The image so you're not going to be able to see the thing you want to show so you can just Use your tool to this resizing tool and Delocation and then to be able to watermark it you want just to you clean click here Ah, it wasn't transfer. It was a property in the property You can just see the alpha channel and the alpha channel is they what I call opacity is called opacity and other softwares So the alpha channel is in the value of one is a total opacity or one hundred percent opacity You can see the complete image, but it get is going fading When you decrease the value and the minimum value is zero that is totally transparent So a watermark I recommend always like 30 40 it depends on the background or your video so in this case and I Want to put the watermark to be the complete side of the project because I want to be over the whole video so when you click play you're going to see the Fedora logo over there if you see this then these tools to resize and move the Image just click and select them when you select the image is going to show you the controls and when you unselect it do that so Normally at the end of the project what you want to do is to create a video not a project So what most people confuse here in these type of softwares is that what happened when you save it You save that is normally this icon Katie people know this icon very well a for other type of desktops or other software is like a diskette or I don't know the safe button you have or you can use safe project It's safe the project is a file that contains a description of what you add where you added how much time is usually is a text file or in XML format or whatever That allow the software to know what you add where and and in what position in what time so you can save here you can say if freedom submit And it's safe, but when you are going to check There is no video here what you create if submit freedom submit here It's an ODP file in open project file. So if you if I close here this here Then I open the file It's just going to load again open shot with the location the resources and everything in the position that I use in first place So this is an open shot project. It's not Video is not what you want to share and the thing and even it doesn't save this That's weird So what you want to do to have a video is to export or In this case it's a sport video Open shot makes things very easy for you when you click sport You are going to see a lot of profiles or or Format so what you want to do for example in case of device you have an Apple TV a phone or an Xbox I Usually Refers to use MP3 for The video profile if this is a little bit technical a lot of people get scared with this But it's just how the video is going to be Created and in terms in case you're going to use a phone There is a CD vertical or if just mobile here I usually just get MP4 and in the quality a bit high it quality means a Impact directly in the size of your file, but More quality is be a better good-looking video. So sport video. Oh I forgot to change the name. That's okay so Using this kind of software is not hard. I think it's It gets it's scary because you don't understand the interface is a lot of controls a lot of pains a lot of tools or Or things that you are unfamiliar something that you are familiar but those different stuff of what you think it will do But it's not hard. I mean it's just take a little bit of patience and a little bit of take advantage of what the tool could do And in this case I create a video you can see the little BLC icon here And here is our video with our watermark so That's two of the most common things. I always ask for people to do and is to create a slideshow with pictures and To create a good beautiful memory with their pictures under a thing is to put a watermark in a video to for a brand or Just to mark your view the video with your something that is that Make the video say it's my video And in terms of what is audio productions I hear pre-open one of the episode of the Fedora podcast and here is Practically the same you have seen different tracks the tracks are repeated because he's stereo. So one is The left audio the other one is the right audio and each track have their own controls to paying the audio and To put more or less volume into the audio. So I want to create a new project Just to show you a blank project So what the first thing you want to do is to import audio In this case I have a Lot of data that is for the project, but I wanted to use like It's three files They get imported and you have three files So in terms of audio normally you want to or you can or do several things one is mix The audios and the other one is just to put the audio one next to the other like we do it in open shot So this is just grab Move and it if you see this is a beautiful yellow line that told you there are next to the other one in this case you have a lot of I Think this is like white noise, but it's just no audio. So I Select the one that's the part that I don't want to be There and use control X Now it is in is in them the clipboard you can repace and create a new Audio part So you can just move and that thing applies even inside an audio file for example, this is my The audio that I used to create with a text to speech software That is say this is the Fedora project podcast and blah blah blah, but in case I don't I just want to Delete a part you can just put put your cursor here. You can play it So what you saw is a very fast because I was some very assuming very very Me but is it's just that moving So what I what I want to do is if I want to just I Don't want to see one Sorry, I just want to delete one part of the audio, but I don't want to have all the audio deleted. You can also just Select and delete and and that part is gone The other thing that you want to do is just I want to mute it. So in that case you can See silence audio selection is this tool is with control L So you can see now the the spectrum of the audio is gone So there's a lot of things that you can use Try it yourself when you are creating an audio you can mix in this case For example, if I put me so if I put my cursor here and You start playing he's playing this and this audio at the same time So there is that that's the way when how to put audio over your voice There there are other ways to do some stuff like for example you can use Good apart here or copy apart here put it inside here And it's going to be music the audio and then music again It's it's it works very similar to how do you edit? Text file you can just cut apart put it on the other and when you read it you read it in a linear form So that's the most of the stuff I did. I want to show you this is how In this case I have an interview in two different audio tracks so Then interviewer was in one audio track I think it's this one because it start with the interviewer and then these are the answer of the Interviewee so you can see there are a lot of mute So that's why I use this because in the when you do a video call There is a lot of audio there is noise and is the other part doesn't mute the audio So there is going to be a noise and in the background when you are listening to the other people So what I use usually was to select the part when I wasn't talking on the other part wasn't talking and just the audio flat with the silent audio selection so this is how The audio production file looks like I think it tends to look a little scary but It's not hard to work with I Think I'm over the time. So if there is there are questions or Or things I Don't know. Yeah, there are a couple questions Madeleine, did you want to jump on? Yes, and actually I would love to start with my own question Which I hope I didn't miss in any of your presentation. It's just like a total inundation of Information, but how long have you been working with this program? With audacity I have four years now because I started when I started Fedora podcast But at my but my first audio project in audacity was having zero experience use a lot of Researching and reading on how the how audacity works and the audio files from the interview My first interview was with Mati Miller with our Fedora project leader. So I didn't want to do but Job with the audio project and with the video tool. I think I'm doing this in different tools like I'm a college because being when you are a System guy an informatic or a people that just like computers Your family tends to think that you can do or you know how to do everything from fixing your microwave to Hack your famous account. So everything that is related with to a computer Thanks to go to me So the first time said you can do a video with our photos because I want to have a beautiful memory You know when we travel and say I have no idea how to do that, but You are you need to be the size for this or just or the challenge. So yeah Okay, cool There's another question that says open shot looks similar to Kaden live. Are there recommendations you would give about when to use? Which program? No You use the tool that you get used to I use open shot because it was the first one that get into my Google said how to Do a video in Linux But but what I see different yesterday is that there are a specific track dedicated to audio and video In Kaden life, maybe I'm wrong but what I detected in the tracks is that B1 V2 a1 a2 to Naming the tracks, but I don't know if it's just naming or displaying. I'm not sure I use Katie in life to do the Watermark thing that I did This time because I got I had a computer that was in Katie E without open shot installed so I just did it try to do it fast and Maybe the location of the tools is a little bit different, but this them the flow of the job is of the works mostly the same I just recommend use the tool that is that fits your in your needs Nice, I would lean into that too And then I think our last question is you mentioned the Fedora podcast Are there plans to create more sessions of the podcast where can we listen to the published episodes? Yes, there are plans to do the third season. We decided to make each season 10 episodes long So now there are 20 episodes Published and like one or two spots, but yes, there are plans to do a third Season this year. So hopefully soon I dropped a link in the chat. Cool. Well, that It's the last Info session. Thank you so much, Edward. Thank you for having me
