Video Editing for Beginners

Description

Editing video starts with knowing your software and your footage, and the ten PDF lessons begin there: setting up an editing program, then importing and organizing clips. From that base they cover basic cutting and trimming, transitions between clips, working with audio and background music, and color correction.

Later lessons deal with text, titles and lower thirds, captions and subtitles, and exporting finished projects. The last lesson brings the steps together in a first complete video. Most lessons include exercises to practice on your own footage. After reading, you should be able to take raw clips through cutting, sound, color and titles to an exported video.

Who it is for: beginners who want to edit family, social media or small project videos.
