Firstly i learned how to clip a piece of film, this is important as it not only helps eliminate any mistakes or unneeded footage but the tool also helps make the slides flow together better so there is no unnecessary pauses. You just have to select the place the red bar where you want the film to be cut and left click.
By clicking right whilst your clipping your footage a list of options comes up, this allows you to decide whether you want to keep the film for further use or dispose of it.
The next tool i discovered was the move tool, this allows footage to be moved around so it can be featured at any point of the film.
This tool allows the footage to be elongated in time or shortened by simply just dragging the bar. I found this especially useful when creating my credits because it slowed it down allowing each name to be read properly.
Once you have selected your sound file i learned that you can drop it in the space below your footage and move it around to coincide with your movie. As you can see you are able to manipulate it in order to only use the parts in which you need
At the top of the screen there are numerous task bars you can explore. I chose to use 'edit' once clicking on the one you need another tab appears so then you can begin to alter your movie.
This tab allowed be to make minor altercations to specific clips of my footage. It was mainly useful when shots had been filmed using different lighting so therefore i would use this to balance out the tones. However you can make more drastic changes for instance changing the color of clips.
When creating my credits, this allowed be to make adjustments to my text in order to personalized the style, this makes the text look a lot more visually pleasing.
At the bottom of the page there are numerous tabs which enable you to change aspects of your clip. This also helped me make my credits look more efficient as i was able to change the format of the page. You simply have to select it and it automatically inserts itself into your movie
This icon lets you use a variety of transitions to connect clips together, you just have to drag it and drop it into the space before or after the specific clip you intend to use it with.
