 editors often work in different ways on their videos. Many plan out their movie in what's called a storyboard ahead of putting their video together. Then they capture footage for the movie clips in their storyboard and edit it as planned, either for themselves or with or for a client. Almost all editors eliminate their bad footage and only import their really good footage because, as I've said, video takes up a lot of storage space on your computer, so it's smart to limit your imports. In this class, we're learning to edit by recreating or copying a video that's been done before, but you can give it your own touch too as you're learning and confidence grow. Also, imitation is the best form of flattery, so with video editing, it's helpful to try to reproduce another's work and effects. That's how you learn. Remember, be curious, explore, play around with the software, and look for editing tips on movies on television and at the theater. So to begin our movie story, our video will first show a happy and thriving town. Next, it will show it being hit and somewhat devastated by a tornado. After that, it will show the use of drones to survey the damage with video of the devastation so a mission can be planned and enacted as soon as possible to help the town and its inhabitants. And texts will tell the viewers what's happening or what they are to do throughout the video. We started in the last video with our Disasterville text at 6.5 seconds in length, thanks to adding a freeze frame image to make our clip longer than the clip's four second length. Next, we added the gazebo clip. We're going to change the gazebo clip later, but for now it's fine to leave it where it is. The remainder of our clip's order includes about 23 clips, which are fairly easy to find in your browser. You should have a copy of these clips for the movie and their order and names in front of you, but you'll notice that the browser doesn't list clip's names. So how will you find them? There is a way to see each clip's names. Above the viewer right here, you see this little eye enclosed in a circle. Go ahead and click on that. Well, you'll notice that nothing comes up because I don't have anything selected. So let me select any clip, click on the eye, and you'll see that this clip here is called Injury. All right, and you can click on any clip to find out its name and be sure to click on the eye enclosed in the circle. In addition to the Information tab here, you can also just easily search for a clip in the search box. So Injury I think is one clip's name. Let's type that in and see. Yeah, it'll pop right up. So you can use this window as well. All right, so what I want you to do is to pull in order each of these clips to your timeline. And you don't need to edit them at all. It does say seconds at the end of each clip's length or name. And I want you to ignore the time associated with these clips for the time being. After those first two clips that we added earlier, we're going to pull each of these 23 clips in to make a movie. We want our total clip time to be about three minutes and eight seconds. Well, why you may ask? Well, if we're going to add the same music that the original video has, it will be necessary to have the same length. Know that we could change the music though and give the video entirely our own spin. So once again, add these clips as they appear in your browser. So for example, the next one I want is Town View right here. Then I want Town All. Is this Town All? Town All. I'm going to click the plus button. Then I want text regarding before the disaster struck. That's right there. I'll press E and so on. So once again, add these clips as they appear in your browser. We'll edit our clips to the way we want them to appear after they've all been added to our timeline. And one thing you should know, you can control how much you can see within your timeline by sliding this timeline settings slider here. All right. Slide it to the left. If you want your timeline to be small and to fit in on your screen. And if you want to make changes to a clip, you'll want to drag it all the way to the right so you can really see things in detail. Lastly, some of the clips have audio. You can see the ones that do by selecting this wheel here. Click on it. And I already have this audio dialog box check that says show waveforms. You can uncheck it and you'll see that the waveforms disappear. Waveforms are colored blue and they appear underneath the clip and they signify that a clip has audio with it. So that's how you can see it. And I advise leaving that checked for now. But if you want to hear it, you have to do something else because as I slide over this, I don't hear it at all. You can go up to your menu, click on view audio skimming. And what you'll notice is that there's a check mark by audio skimming now, which shows that it's activated. Now when I skim over a clip or play it, the audio is there and can be heard. The only clip we want to have audio, though, is the tornado clip. To turn off the audio on other clips that have been dragged into our timeline, what you want to do is look at this line here, alright, that signifies the volume level for audio on a clip. What we want to do is drag it all the way down to zero so that the audio can't be heard. We could also have imported these clips by stating that we don't want the audio, all we want is the video, but we didn't do this, so this is the next best method. So good luck adding the movie clips to the timeline and once again just raise your hand and the coaches and I are here to help you as needed.
