Quick Start FilmoraPro

filmora basic edit in FilmoraPro We'll create a new project, import media, do a basic edit, and export this project. The first thing we can see when opening FilmoraPro is the home screen.

In the upper-left side, we can switch between the home screen and the tutorials screen where we can access several series of video tutorialsfor FilmoraPro.
Back on the home screen, we can click here to open a project that we've been working on before, but in this case, we'll click on this other icon to create a new project.

FilmoraPro Quick Start: Video Watch Now

We'll be directed to the Edit screen. This screen has various panels that we'll use for our editing process, but for today we'll just be looking at a few of them. First, we'll choose which files we're going to use for the edit.
These files can be audio files, like voiceover, sound effects, and music, image files like photos and graphics, and of course video files. Then we'll link these files to our edit by importing them into the project.
We'll click on the "import" button on the media panel and select all the files we might use. In this case, I'll choose these videos and this song for the background. All the files we've imported will be visible in the media panel.
By default, you can find it on the lower-left corner of the screen. We can click on any of these files to see a preview of it in the Trimmer panel which we can find by default in the upper half of the screen, right in the middle.
By clicking on the play button we can preview the media file and we'll have a small played for the trimmer at the bottom of the panel. We can click and drag clips from the media panel to the right, and drop them into the editor panel.

The first time we do this, a window might pop up and suggest to automatically match the sequence with the project settings. In this case, we'll click on "yes". In the editor panel, we'll see this video clip represented by this blue rectangle on the upper side, and a video with audio will be two rectangles linked to each other. This panel is the Timeline.

The white line is the project's play head and we'll see a preview of this timeline in the viewer panel on the top right showing the project at the frame location of the play head. We can trim the clip by clicking and dragging from its sides to choose where we want it to start and where to finish.

Once we've done this with our first clip, we can add other clips, background music, sound effects, and arrange and trim the clips the way we want. When we are happy enough with our edit we can export our project to turn it into a video file to be easily played or uploaded. To do this we'll click on the arrow next to the export icon in the Editor panel and then we'll go to "add to queue" > "contents" This will open the export panel. Here in the queue, we'll see our project name.

In the present column, we'll choose the preset that suits our needs best. In my case, I want to upload it to Vimeo so I'll choose this preset. On the output column, we'll click to choose the name of our video, and where to save it. To finish, we'll click on the "start exporting" button.

After some processing, we'll have our final video ready to use. So that was a quick look at using FilmoraPro. To get a more in-depth look at every step we took here today, make sure to check out our next videos in the series, and remember, there is no limit to what you can make.
