Video Editing Basics

Hello all 

in this article i will giving a few tips on improving your production value .

1. set your aspect ration . if you shoot your video in 4:3 then process it as so if its filmed in 16:9 then process it as such . if you process 16:9 video at 4:3 and then upload it to YouTube you will end up with a small section in the middle of the screen and it looks bad .here is a screen shot of how to change it .

2. Length a long video can be tedious to watch so don't make a 10min video that only has 3.5min of good footage . it is understandable if you are doing a tutorial but just flying around you don't need so much useless footage (i used to do the same thing in the beginning.

3. Music, when possible try sync the music to footage . it makes the video so much better.

4. Title and Credits its always nice to see a title or intro , it helps identify the production before it starts and also allows people to see the name of the video if its embedded on another site.credits are nice t as they allow you to mention all the people involved in the production .  

If i have forgotten any thing please feel free to comment and will add it in.

Here is my new video that employs all 4 aspects

If you want to make the video more interesting, you can also try to add some special effects, such as filters, transitions, text, and so on. Both can arouse the interest of the viewer. Each program has different special effects. You can try different software to compare the special effects. According to the software I currently use , TunesKit AceMovi has the most online content and is classified. Very convenient for users.
