Designed for Beginners Filmora9 Tutorial

Hi there Jamie Keith here today a  teachers tech hope you're having a great  day today today I want to show you filmora 9 now this I must say is one of the  easiest video editors I've seen it's not  a free one you do have to pay $60 if you  want the non watermark on it but you can  download it for free and test everything  out on it to see if you like it if you  are looking for something free I'll put  links to other tutorials have on free  video editors but.

if you don't mind  paying a little bit this is a great one  to use extremely easy and can give you  great results for many things from doing  personal videos or uploading to YouTube so this tutorial will go through the  basics of using filmora 9 time stamp everything down below so you can jump  around to different parts so just take a  look at the description for those and  plus I'll add the link to flick filmora  down below too so you can go to the site  and check it out so let's get started on  this tutorial today with filmora 9  so I'm just gonna start right away  opening up Fillmore and nine and you can  see I'll be working out of this video  folder with video assets and media  assets that.

I have down below here when  Fillmore opens up it will prompt you to  create a new project or it will also  show you a list of different ones that  you have saved before so like for this  one I could open this up or you could  open other projects by looking I'm gonna  just hit new project for the example  today you can see alpha more at nine  just pops open right away before I go  wide I'm using Windows 10 today but if  you're on other operating systems such  as Mac Fillmore and nine will also work  I'm gonna import my my media right away  so just by clicking on this one it's  gonna open up to a folder that I can  find so I know in this case I'm gonna be  on my desktop and I should have a  filmora  folder right there.

I could bring one  media one video in at a time and hit  open and you can see how it goes in here  or I could bring multiple ones so if I  right-click it now and go to view I  could go to absolutely import and I  could bring more in so I could select  multiple ones and hit open and another  way I could do it it would be go to file  and you can see under the all the file  menus all the different things so do  check out all the different options you  have up there too but import media and  let's say I wanted to bring in the rest  of these so you can see all the  different ones I brought in to take a  quick look notice of the icon in the top  right hand corner this shows that it's  video this one shows that it's an image  and this one shows that it is audio I  can take a different look at this.

so I  didn't want these thumbnails large  thumbnails I can click here and go to a  different view let's say I wanted to  list view just with the names and the  size of everything or I could switch to  a different view with the thumbnail  slides for the tutorial today I'm gonna  be using the large thumbnail view now  that I've got everything in I also like  to save things right away as you start  like as I start from the very beginning  so just go up here file save project and  in this you can see I have an example  video here so I'm just gonna call  this tutorial here and go ahead and hit  save and then as I go along  and work on it I'll just be able to save  the project as I go through it so just  in case something crashes on you.

you can be backed up that way now I want to bring things quickly down to my timeline  Filmore and makes it very easy to do this if I just hover over I can hit the plus right away and it's gonna bring it down it's saying that this isn't matching the settings and I'm just gonna say match to media on this one and you can see it got brought down in this case where there's audio underneath it and if I drag this back I can hear it's gonna be a bit of the wave and I have  just a video on top if you don't want it  you could go ahead and hit delete and  it's gone the other thing is you can  view any of these videos just by double-clicking on them without bringing them  down to the timeline so I you can just  view it here if you want to see what  each one is go ahead and just double  click on it and you could listen to the  audio doing the same way now.

 I'm gonna bring this back down I hit the plus the first time you could just drag if you wanted to also so if you want to drag your videos down you can do this and the other thing is you can zoom up and zoom  out on it depending on how when you're working on it so if you want to say zoom  up on a specific part to get closer you  can see as I increase it this way or  bring it back to the other way I can  also just say fit to the screen so it's  going to go across the timeline in just  that simple click to it I can also just  drag in here so inside the timeline just  click and hold on your mouse and you can  see how I can adjust it in a hurry like  that so let's bring in some more video  so I get the one video down below here I  want to bring in a second one and notice that where.

I have the playhead over here  at the beginning if I hit the plus now  that's where the next video gets put  into it so it gets puts it in front of  it so if I I'm gonna zoom out so you can  see more and I'm gonna bring this over  to here and if I hit this next one you notice there's a gap between because  that's where I had it listed and that's  where it's going to go so you can set up  your playhead then hit the plus and then  it's gonna go to that spot if you wanted  to get rid of this gap all you have to  do is just simply drag over and it's  gonna snap snap to it like so I can  bring in multiple things too so if I  wanted to let's say bring these three  things in so this is audio and I have an  image and.

I also have another video I'm  gonna bring these three things in at  once I'm gonna straggling down and you  see there's the image and then there's  the other video and the audio here so if  I play it like so so if you did want to  bring everything down at once it's very  easy to do just by selecting them now  that you've brought things down you can  move things around very quickly if I  wanted this to be in a different order  just select it and grab it and drag it  and you can move things around to get in  the exact order that you want you can  create new tracks very easy just drag  things up it actually already created  the one when I brought in the other  video but if I wanted another third  track you can see it creates them right  on the side here so if you do like  working in the multiple tracks and  keeping sort of your videos that's the  way I like to do it but you can just  drag them up and it will automatically  create or you can hit the plus here and  you'll see the option add video track at  audio track right through here so that's  how you can quickly bring in your your  audio your video your pictures into this  and just start sorting things out on  your timeline so let's start some basic  editing here.

I'm gonna go ahead and  bring one of the videos this one I'm  just gonna hit the plus and bring it  down to my video one track and I'm gonna  do some trimming on this one so  different ways I can do this this is  about 26 seconds long this one so let's  say there's something on the end that I  don't want what I can do is if I bring  my mouse to this I can drag in and trim  the end off of it so I can also do  this also from the other side I could  drag it in so I've cut from the from the  one end the end of it and also from the  beginning so if you want to trim that  it's very easy now another thing to  remember is the undo button right over  here if you've done some editing realize  you don't want it just go ahead and hit  the undo you also have your redo here  too the other way I like to do editing  is just with the clip tool right here so  the split tool and what you do is if you drag your playhead to a certain spot and  you just go ahead and hit clip it cuts  it right there so if you wanted  something out in the middle of this.

I  could go and maybe if I knew it was  there the other piece I could go ahead  and clip it now I have this piece here  you can see as I drag it up I could  delete this one so if there was some  editing that you filmed and you wanted  to cut something out in the middle and  then bring your two video clips together  like so and then it would just have that  part out of it so you can do some really  quick editing there now I'm just gonna  go ahead and delete these two.

so I've  selected both of them I'm gonna bring in  this teachers tech intro that I use here  I'm gonna match two media and when I hit  play you can see it's very slow and so I  need to adjust the time on this one and  there's also the speed right here so if  I go ahead and I could go slow  do I want to faster I'm gonna go to  custom speed here and I'm gonna just  drag it so if I want it to be you can  see if I want it to be faster I want  this to be about three seconds here so I  could increase this to get it to the  point where I wanted to so maybe I'm  just gonna put I'm just gonna click in  here and actually put a number in so I'm  going to put six in here if I don't like  that I could maybe I'm gonna go five so  now it's about two seconds long so I'm  gonna go four and you can see how I can  adjust it and start getting the way I  want it to so there's my three seconds  I'm gonna sit eight okay  and nothing clipped out of it but  it did was speeded up so if I go ahead  and play this again you can see it's  running out of Matt much faster pace so  those are some kind of the basic editing  that you can do in film or it.

you can  see how quick it is another thing that  I'm going to show you is the crop tool  so if I go ahead and let's say take this  video again that I was using and I want  to zoom up on a certain area so let's  say these two people walking on the  beach this crop tool here if I click on  it I can go ahead and pick an area so if  I just want to focus on them I'm gonna  zoom up even more in the aspect ratio  keep it the same so hit OK and then you  notice it zoomed up so now I can hit go  ahead and hit play and I'm zoomed right  up so that crop is a very easy tool to  use just like all of these between some  of the simple editing that you can do  and then just lining up everything the  way you want in the tracks that you have  set up so you can see how easy film or  a9 is to edit in so let's work with a  little audio down I'm first of all I'm  gonna drag or put this one down into my  timeline here and this one I showed.

you  before it actually you can see the audio  that's attached to this video and it's  just the waves so maybe you don't want  that audio to sound in to play during it  so what you can do if I right click on  any of these clips you're gonna see that  you have lots of different options that  you can do with this so I could mute  this but what I want to do is detach the  audio and what it does is it takes it  away from the video and puts it into the  audio 1 soundtrack so now what I can do  at that point is just go ahead if I  didn't want that at all let's say I'm  gonna put some music and I can just go  ahead and delete this so it's very easy.

 just to right click detach the audio and  then delete it do check out all the  features that you have on your right  screen on your right click on it many of  these features are going to be different  ones that I show you but it's just a  quick way to get them and then you can  look at all the shortcuts right beside  like I just on the right hand column now  if I was gonna put in I'm gonna put in a  few more videos here  to line things up I'm gonna put in some  more audio here I'll just snap that one  close together and move it over here the  one thing.

I wanted to note when do your  editing if you drag it over top it  actually Clips away the one video that  you drag it over top of so you can see I  brought it over top of it now it's gonna  be clipped on that one now I'm gonna  bring in audio you saw me and bring in  audio from before I have this wicked  surf one I can add it and it puts it  down here below actually I want this  lined up so I'm gonna drag it over again  and I'm just gonna bring it back to here  and play all right so that's really loud  what I can do at that point is go over  here to the audio mixer if I click on it  I'm gonna what I'm gonna do is bring  down you can see all the different ones  that.

I have I have that on audio one so  it's this one so I can adjust each track  differently depending on how I want the  audio to sound but this is much too loud  here so I'm gonna hit play from here you  can hear now it's a lot quieter here so  maybe I want to bring it down maybe I  just want it so subtle you can also do  the over the master one here which would  bring everything so I'm just gonna hit  okay now if I hit play again it's much  quieter here so that's how you can  adjust some audio other things I want to  note with the audio here would be just  going up here so I brought my own audio  in here but you can see that there's a  lot of different ones here too so if I  go ahead and bring in I'm just gonna  bring in this one I'm not sure what it  sounds like  again I dragged drug it down I could  have just hit the plus on it so it's  downloading the content because a lot of  with filmora it connects and then  downloads it I'm gonna delete this one  right here and hit play  and.

I have this audio in here so there's  lots of different options with the audio  here you can bring into your own or use  what Tamura has for you to that you can  bring in they have lots of good Tunes  that will help you with your video  editing now so that just shows a little  bit about the audio very simple to use  just like all the other Filmore aspects  so let's go ahead and add some titles  now I've already showed you audio that  are here if I move across titles are  right here and they have this big list  of different titles that you can look at  I'm just gonna pick a simple one for  this one this right here this preset so  if I go ahead and hit plus it's gonna  add it to where my playhead is your so  if I hit Plus you can see it drums in  right there to see what this looks like  if I just rewind a bit hit play and you  can see the title comes in now I don't  want to say directed by Jane.

Doe so what  I'm gonna do is just double click on  this so when I double click on this I  have the options to start editing so  right away I'm wanted to say something  else and I'll just say hello and I'll go  to the second line here and I'll just  say everyone I can change the text on  this quickly so if I go through you can  see the long list I'll just change it to  there I'll make sure you can see this as  I change it and I can change the size  the font and you can see the other  options that I have so if I go ahead and  hit play now you can see it kind of grow  through there I can also change the  animation to this one so if I want it to  you can kind of see the list if I find  something.

I like I can go ahead and go  to it if I want this one just double  click on it and it's applying that  animation to it you can also go over  here to the preset and you have the list  of colors I could change the color text  spacing and everything down here let's  quickly I could this and I'll hit just  OK now and you can see I have this new  text that will come up probably not the  best one to use because it's so because  it matches the colors and doesn't show  up so if I wanted to go to edit here and  change it to the yellow I can  make that change hit okay so now it's  gonna stand up stand out a lot better to  it so very quickly you can add those  titles you can move these titles all  around too so if I didn't want us there  I can drag it to a different spot to it  I could move it to a different layer if  you're looking even for more different  ones you can go it up here to the  effects store click on that and you can  connect and there's ones for free and  once you can purchase I am gonna do a little bit of a different video.

I'm  gonna open this up just on the advanced  features here where you can go through  and add a few more features to get it  more exact but I'll save that for a  different time so that's how you can add  some text to your video very quickly and  easily inside filmora looking beside the  titles you're gonna find transition so  right through here where you're gonna  use transitions are between different  video clips or images that you have now  to do so I'm gonna select the clip that  I want and I'm just gonna have this one  in the middle right here and I'm gonna  select it you can see that there's the  green line around it and I'll just use  maybe I'll just do this split one right  here.

so I'm gonna hit the plus and you  can see what it did it added the  transition to each end and I'm gonna  show you how to modify these too so what  does it look like I'll just go actually  in between these two right here and I'll  hit play and just like that now you can  go through and change these if I wanted  a stretch if I want a longer transition  I can stretch this out like so and if I  hit play now it's gonna be slower longer  transition I can double click on this so  if I double click on this I get some  options so maybe I wanted to be between  the two clips so if I go ahead like this  and hit overlap but you can see now it  moved in between the two clips I can  change my my timing right up here.

so if  I wanted it shorter and I can also click  apply to all I'm just gonna leave it  like this one right now hit okay now if  I hit my play you can see it right  through here I can go back and make my  adjusted adjustments through here if I  wanted it shorter also and you can also  delete but maybe I don't want this front  trend  in Lake right here and I go ahead and  hit delete and.

I go through so if I  wanted to bring down more media so if I  was bringing down another one here I can  go ahead and select my my transitions  that I want just by going up and then  bringing them down I can drag them down  also just like what I showed you with  the other ones or hit the plus and go  through and modify it the way you like  let's dive into the effects now  now after transitions you can see a  little star up here I'm gonna select it  you can see all these custom effects are  already created you just have to add it  to it now you can preview any of these  ones so if this BMW noise here if I  double click it you can see it gives me  an example of what it looks like here .

but you probably want to see what it  looks like on your own so what you can  do is so if I click on a clip so maybe  this one here and then I go ahead and  double click on this now just wait a  second and then what you're gonna get is  the actual clip with that effect added  on it hasn't added to it yet it's just  giving you a preview so if you like what  you see at that point you can hit the  plus to it and now remember it went down  here because because that's where I had  my that's where I had my playhead so if  I drag this I want that wanted it on  this one I can bring it back over so  just in case you brought it to the wrong  spot so if I go ahead and hit play now  you can see that it will stop when that  ends so I can grab the ends of this and  stretch this out here to be longer \.

if I  want it to be the whole clip or  different parts they clip I can stretch  it out that way you can also double  click on it and then you can also adjust  if you didn't want it maybe because the  elf is so powerful you can hit it ok and  then it will just have that slight look  to it again you can delete any of these  if you would like to or you can add  remember to have the clip open if you  want to preview it to go ahead and  double click if you like it and then add  it after that now down below you also  have your overlays so overlays will work  on another layer on top so if I wanted  to for  example to add a frame to this you can  see all the different ones here I could  go through the list and try to find  exactly what I want but I'm just gonna  add let's say this blue one right here.

so I'm gonna want it on this one I can  preview it again on it so I'm gonna  double click on this one and actually  we're gonna watch them so you can see  it's loading up and then it's going to  preview what this might look like if I  like what I want I'm gonna move my  playhead over and then add it here and  I've added now I'll hit play and I've  added this frame to it you can see it's  a video frame too with the edges moving  and again I can stretch this out so it's  longer so you can see that these effects  are very easy to add you can go through  and again like any of the other ones  that I've showed you you can go to the  effects store and even get more from  there but go ahead and just start  playing with these basic ones to add a  lot of customization to your videos  before we get to our exporting of our  video I just want to show you the  elements features too so this kind of  works like if facts here it's the last  part right here you have with these  number of different things that you can  bring over in a different layer you can  see that you go through the list and  check them out through here I just have  it listed as all and I'll just go  through and show you let's say I want to  put this one here.

so I want to bring my  playhead over here and I'm just gonna  hit the new one plus it's gonna download  it and then I have this badge over top  of it that you can see if I hit play  that's added to it so you can go ahead  and add these elements to it if you want  more elements or if you want more of the  all the different effects go up to the  top right hand corner and you can look  at this right up here the download and  when you do purchase or when you are  using it you get you can log into your  account and you can have all these  popular effects if I scroll down a  little bit you can see they have free  ones too so if I wanted the emoji one I  could down  load it and it's gonna add it to my to  my effects here so if I close out of  this you can see all these are sorry in  my elements all these emojis were just  added to it that quickly and then I can  go ahead and add it to it so go through  and some are free and some where you  have to purchase but it gives you a lot  of options to add even more to it so  that kind of sums up kind of the intro  part to filmora.

that i want to show you  i'm gonna have other videos on things  like using your green screen with it and  recording using the sound recording and  screen capture on it so it can do a lot  more than just your basic editing  filmora so make sure you.

you check out  later but let's get to our export  function now - how do we get this to  save this to our desktop as a video or  upload it to youtube so let's say you've  finished up your video and you want to  export it as a finished video we've  saved our project as we went along but  that's a little bit different we want to  be able to upload this YouTube or save  it as a video on our computer you can  see that the export is right here or you  have export right here and they'll bring  you to the same thing so I'm just gonna  hit export and you can see it kind of  defaulted to the YouTube setting if I  wanted to save it just on my computer .

what I would do is go through and pick  the formats that I wanted so let's say  maybe I want it as an mp4 I would give  it a name right here I would find the  location where do I want to save this  you'd go and find your path and then you  can go ahead and your settings you can  see there now this is a high def at 1920  by 1080 you do have your settings that  you can adjust through this one but for  me a lot of the videos that I make I'd  want to go directly to YouTube and what  it does for me through this part is that  you can sign in to youtube so I could  give it my title.

so I'm just gonna say  test and the quality is what I wanted at  a 1920 by 1080 and I could give it a  description a lot of times when I upload  to YouTube what I do is I keep it  private  at first and then I change it to make  sure I'll write my description and  everything but then.

what I do is the  export here and then it's going to say  please sign in to your YouTube channels  so then at that point you just put in  your sign in credentials on YouTube  and it's gonna upload it right to  YouTube so that gives an easy path but  the other way you can see we have  options of DVD Vimeo and the different  devices here but I know for a lot of you  it's either going to be saving it to  local or to youtube so Fillmore can  still do other things too so I'll have  some more videos coming out on some of  the other features it's a very easy  product to use check out the links down  below for other options or other video  editors - thanks for watching this time  and I'll see you next week on teachers  tech
