 Okay, here we are again in Cayden live and Hopefully you've watched the previous videos in this series I'm gonna make my tracks bigger here and then I'm going to come up here And I'm going to import a bunch of video clips and an audio clip, which is some music So that I'll be added here I really need to change my default to match my camera, but I'll switch to fit the clips that I just imported now Scrolling down here. You can see all the video clips that's generating thumbnails right now and then the music clip and Music of course, you can use whatever you'd like, but if you want your video to be you know Legal and you're not creating the music yourself. You're gonna need to get music that you have the rights to use creative commons is a great option and Here are three sites that I use a lot that have not only creative commons But our creative commons for commercial use all you have to do is give attribution in the videos So first one here lots of options here, and it's actual, you know a lot of real Instruments, and I use this the music here a lot for my home videos, which is Joshwoodword.com There you can search through his videos Or sorry, well there are videos for each song, but search through his songs You can do by mood. You can do by tempo and by length if you would like Also, if you when you click on a song again, he usually has a YouTube video. He'll have his lyrics But he also has a download for the mp3 But most importantly he has a download for instrumental because lots of times when you're doing a video You just want instrumental in the background So there you can listen to the song when you choose it when you go to download it He asks for your your email account just so he has a you know a record of who's using his music You know he's very organized here giving you tags and tempo and measures and everything for the music and the key It's in so that is one website use another one and this one you have heard music by this guy before Kevin Mick McLeoid from incometech.com and His music is all over YouTube. It's used all the time again It's a creative commons for commercial use attribution So all you have to do is in the credits of the video say that you got this song from His website. I think he likes if you also list the name of the song because he's got so many so that way People can find it there and then one the selection isn't as big here, but this is a lot of good music Ben sound Ben sound I Describe a lot of this music not all of it But a lot of it is like presentation music if you're making like a commercial or doing like a presentation for somebody It's all like that kind of music, you know There's like elevator type music and they also have like some dubstep and here and stuff But we're actually gonna be using this cute So I'm giving him attribution right now to saying Ben sound calm In fact when you go to download one of his songs and you click download it says all you have to do is It gets a music by Ben sound calm and so you can put that in the credits of your video And then of course they have a pro license if you don't want to have to give credit You can also get a a way file if you want a higher quality clip. I'm just going for the free MP3 here Let's go back to our edit here. So let me go ahead and drag my music down So today we're just gonna actually edit a video now if you pull a video down With no video clips, you'll hear the audio But see no video in the project monitor in the clip video clip editor if I press play here You actually see the little wave forms, which is nice And of course you can see the waves here so it makes it easier to know where and when to cut now Let me give you some advice on video editing, especially when it comes to home videos. Look at all my clips here They're all three or four seconds. I'm gonna tell you right now for the most part and when it comes to this it's an art so it's all rule of thumb but Watch TV shows even TV shows like Law and Order or something where someone's in a room talking to somebody and Count the number of seconds before they cut to a new camera angle I in most cases and not all the time but in most cases They will cut to a new camera angle in under six seconds lots of times It's a lot you don't realize how much they change camera angles until you start counting and lots of times Especially in high-action stuff, but even just people talking it will be like one two Maybe three seconds before they cut to another camera angle So my goal usually when I'm recording and of course you also have to know your music if your music's up upbeat you probably want shorter clips if it's a slower song longer clips is a little bit better and In fact these clips I said most of them are three maybe four seconds long And that's actually a little slow for this music So in reality if I was to edit this I probably either pick a slower song or trim these clips down Which I actually have a script that will trim clips all clips in a directory to the length I tell it to but all my clips are like that and it's gonna save you a lot of editing that way You don't have to trim them most my videos my home videos are just like this I drag and drop and right now I'm 99% done so I Am going to zoom in here now Also audio audio is the hardest part of video editing, but with something like this. I am going to This is from like a year and a half ago. This is a clip of my my daughter and She's probably longer than a year and a half ago. This had to be two years ago My daughter and some of her friends at an event in town where they got to go look at big trucks Dump trucks garbage trucks fire trucks, and it's very noisy. So I'm really not going to use any of the audio except from one or two of the clips So what I normally do in clips like this I either mute the audio from the original video completely or If I do sometimes it seems a little weird not having the audio there what you can do I've showed you how to add effects individual clips some effects you can add to the full track So here I'm going to type in volume and I'm going to go key frameable, but instead of dragging it to a clip I'm going to grab it drag it to the track here and now it affects the whole track and I can actually lower this down and When I press play here, let's see if we get a clip where there's actually more audio Let's see Where's the clip with the kids playing? So I don't even know how well the microphones picking this up because all my audio is coming through a microphone for this recording here But yeah Sometimes especially with kids playing sometimes it's it's fun to hear the sound of the kids playing But what they're actually saying isn't important to the video So I'll do this like I just did where I'll lower the audio way down so you can still hear it and you get the feel you get the atmosphere of The of the of what the scene is But the audio isn't isn't a big deal But even then if one clip is louder than other you might have to go in and fade it in and out and that adds extra work And with something like this it's really not necessary. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to forget about that I'm going to remove that I'm going to mute that track and Now I said that most my clips are three to four seconds and again That's just a rule of thumb especially if something important's happening and you don't want to miss any of it, you know but When you're recording record three seconds move to another angle or just zoom in or zoom out or Something and start recording again two to three seconds So but I usually do my first and usually my last clip closer to five seconds because as I've mentioned I like to do Fades from black so I start my video off so and again I Actually, I feel like this video the clip should have been closer to two seconds long and Also, especially if it's a home movie people really don't want to watch your home movie It's more if it's more than two or three minutes long So we were at this event for an hour hour and a half and I got this is every clip that I recorded while I was there I got some still shots, too But these are all that the clips and you can see it's it's only two and a half minutes It doesn't need to be longer than that Just a rule of thumb because I'm just talking from experience back in the day I used to record hours and hours of video and then try to trim it down But still be like 15 minutes long for something like this. No one wants to watch that You know unless there's a plot that people are following something like this people like you just want to remember it You want to remember what your kids look like and remember what you did. So short little clips like this are great So again, 99% done a few things I want to change here. Just Scrubbing through all the video here. So it ends with my daughter spraying down some some Cones with the fire hose there with the fire truck, which is the fire department. I work for which is really cool that I have clips If we're doing this But earlier in in the clips right here, we have I have video of the fire truck pulling up So what I want to do is actually want to I'm gonna move this and this is more editing than I do in most of my Home videos because usually I'd be 99% done right now And I put them here So now we have all day with the truck and then right here the fire truck shows up Right and I'm even going to switch these clips because this is the truck pulling into the parking lot And you can see my daughter in the bottom right corner there Running up to the truck and then they kind of drive by and park what I'm actually gonna do I'm gonna swap those around because again, this is just perfect personal preference I think it looks better because they're going faster here and then they slow and stop You see my daughter running and the next clip. She's spraying the fire hose, right? And again, all the audio for those clips are is muted But this clip here for actually spraying the hose I might actually want to hear that little clip it might be fun So I'm gonna do is I'm gonna grab these last two clips and drag them up See this bottom track is muted, but this track isn't and then I don't want to harshly cut in so I'm gonna select This clip here. I'm gonna go fade in and now I Can press play And again, you can have the audio here if you'd like, but I don't think it's necessary, but then at this part So you look at daddy and smile Of course, then it just cuts out there. So I'm gonna do is like this last clip I'm gonna go fade to black and fade audio out and There we go now now the last part of this Would normally be I Would have it fade to black and then I would fade in a title screen Usually with the date and the name of the event, you know, oh, this was July 14th or whatever and I would also have a title clip Showing, you know saying Ben sound so actually let's let's go ahead I was actually gonna do another video on title clips But let's just go ahead and do it now and click here and the title clip editor I have everything came live tends to be the buggest thing So actually before we even go into it, I'm gonna click save and I'm gonna type in This file Caden live. I don't even know what video I'm on on video for a thing So now I'm gonna say I don't think it's gonna crash the program, but it's still it's kind of buggy So, you know, I'm trying to be honest with you where there's issues So here is your title clip editor I can click in here and I can choose different fonts from my system So let me just grab one like this one and I can say truck Event actually, that's a horrible font. Let's choose a different font. Let's do I was looking at this Not what it actually looks like over there. Let's see Just I just want a simple font simple font simple font Whatever that's good enough. So here's truck event. I'm just giving you an example here So I can click that now. I can also, you know, turn up the font size. So I'll put that to 100 You also have options for the color. Obviously you can make it different colors You can granulate it so that I said granulate you can have it fade whatever you said I don't know whatever you can adjust the colors here You know, if I wanted to be green and blue, I can have it be green and blue and where it actually changes the angle And there's other animation stuff. In fact, I am going to do a whole tutorial on the clip editor but for right now Create your text select the color these tools up here for aligning, you know left right Center top bottom center Usually I'll do center and center and then center my text inside that box There are other options here again We'll go over that in future videos as well as animating these in these clips. I'll click ok and I'll put it right there and by default it comes with this little layer effect Which will also get into layer effects in future videos, but I'm not layering it over another view So I'm just gonna delete that so it's not in the way and again I'm just gonna grab the corners here and drag them in which will be giving me the fade-in effect. So There we go. And then I also want my audio to fade out a certain point So I'll use x and then cut right there s on my keyboard Delete that and I will fade the audio out. So now we have our audio fade out and I Will put this clip at the end of this tour.
