1 00:00:00,630 --> 00:00:06,030 In this video, we're going to look at how to edit a movie in Lightworkers, if you've watched my previous 2 00:00:06,030 --> 00:00:06,510 videos online. 3 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:12,860 That's how much I know you'll notice that I was using a version, I think 11 or 12 now Lightworkers 4 00:00:12,860 --> 00:00:17,280 14, which is the version I'm using, is quite a bit different from the previous version. 5 00:00:17,570 --> 00:00:22,640 So if you were using the old version of Lightworkers, I would highly recommend that you update to the 6 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,920 new one, because I think the improvements are amazing. 7 00:00:25,580 --> 00:00:27,350 Let's start off with a new project. 8 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,290 I'm going to just call it first movie. 9 00:00:31,490 --> 00:00:38,360 In the frame rate, I'm going to choose auto and press create now I need to get my movies from my computer 10 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:39,290 into Lightworkers. 11 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:45,410 Now, before we go any further, you filmed on a camera or you filmed on your phone, get those movies 12 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:51,200 off the phone and off the camera and put them onto your computer in a folder all by themselves. 13 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:57,500 Do not dump those movies onto your desktop because the mess you're going to create is going to be really 14 00:00:57,500 --> 00:00:58,320 hard to tidy up. 15 00:00:58,610 --> 00:00:59,570 So that's advice No. 16 00:00:59,570 --> 00:00:59,840 One. 17 00:01:00,260 --> 00:01:02,090 Let's go and get the movies. 18 00:01:02,090 --> 00:01:05,240 I've already gone to the folder and I've got a few movies. 19 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,570 Now, I have to admit, I didn't actually film these movies. 20 00:01:08,570 --> 00:01:14,750 I, I got these movies from a great website, which I'll put at the end of this movie just so that you 21 00:01:14,750 --> 00:01:15,710 know where I got them from. 22 00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:22,820 Let's grab all the files simply by clicking on this top button here and clicking on the import button 23 00:01:22,820 --> 00:01:24,830 a few seconds later. 24 00:01:25,010 --> 00:01:26,110 All the movies are in. 25 00:01:26,450 --> 00:01:29,360 Now I'm on my laptop, so my screen is a lot smaller. 26 00:01:29,420 --> 00:01:34,430 So I'm going to click on this little button over here and that gives me a much smaller view, but it 27 00:01:34,430 --> 00:01:35,980 makes my life a lot easier. 28 00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:39,590 Now, before we go any further, I've got quite a few clips here. 29 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,970 Now, it could be that your movie only consists of one clip or three clips. 30 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:44,870 That's OK. 31 00:01:44,870 --> 00:01:50,720 But if, like me, you end up with a whole bunch of movie clips and you're trying to organize yourself, 32 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:57,860 what I would do, what I would recommend is you go into this column that's called the Real ID and just 33 00:01:57,860 --> 00:01:59,240 start renaming things. 34 00:01:59,390 --> 00:02:05,030 Now, what I like to do is just put a numbers next to the movie clips so that I can see which clip is 35 00:02:05,030 --> 00:02:07,460 number one and so on and so on. 36 00:02:07,460 --> 00:02:09,920 So what I'm going to do is I'm just going to rename a few of them. 37 00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:10,840 So that's number one. 38 00:02:11,060 --> 00:02:14,900 Number two, I'm going to go to number three here. 39 00:02:15,260 --> 00:02:16,970 I'm going to go to number four. 40 00:02:17,780 --> 00:02:22,910 Let's go to the traffic scene as number five. 41 00:02:24,100 --> 00:02:31,090 Number six now, of course, if you take just a little bit of time, I'm now just randomly assigning 42 00:02:31,090 --> 00:02:31,920 numbers over here. 43 00:02:32,710 --> 00:02:38,200 But if you do this, it makes your life incredibly easy. 44 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:44,610 Later, if I now click on the real ID, you can see that all my movie clips are now in order. 45 00:02:44,770 --> 00:02:50,020 And this really helps me because I now I don't have to go searching for where my clips are. 46 00:02:50,230 --> 00:02:55,960 If you're using emoji movie or Windows movie maker, you're going to be quite used to just picking up 47 00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:02,210 clips, dropping them into your movie and kind of cutting and deleting stuff as you go along. 48 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:03,160 The light works. 49 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,410 You can do that, but it's quite painful. 50 00:03:05,710 --> 00:03:10,570 So what Light Works will ask you to do is double click on a clip like. 51 00:03:10,570 --> 00:03:13,480 So what I'm going to do is I'm just going to press play. 52 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,390 It's not a great, interesting one and I'm going to stop it there. 53 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,580 This is where I would like to start my movie, so. 54 00:03:18,580 --> 00:03:19,180 Oh, my keyboard. 55 00:03:19,180 --> 00:03:20,440 I'm going to press the button. 56 00:03:20,470 --> 00:03:22,240 I am going to press play. 57 00:03:23,020 --> 00:03:24,760 Just let it play for about five seconds. 58 00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:26,230 Stop the movie and press. 59 00:03:26,230 --> 00:03:30,040 Oh, that is my in and that is my out. 60 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,390 Now, if you make a mistake, you can of course move your ins and outs wherever you want to. 61 00:03:34,930 --> 00:03:41,140 But what I'm telling Lightworkers is, although my clip is 30 seconds long, I just only need that little 62 00:03:41,140 --> 00:03:42,760 bit of a movie clip there. 63 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,380 I'm going to go to number two. 64 00:03:44,950 --> 00:03:46,420 I'm going to mark the ins and outs. 65 00:03:46,420 --> 00:03:48,580 They're like, so. 66 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:51,710 And that should be enough there. 67 00:03:51,730 --> 00:03:58,510 I'm going to go to clip number three like so now you don't have to stop the movie to marketing it out. 68 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,340 You can actually press this spacebar, just press eye on your keyboard. 69 00:04:01,850 --> 00:04:04,170 And when you think you're ready, press on your keyboard. 70 00:04:04,190 --> 00:04:04,970 Mark it out. 71 00:04:05,540 --> 00:04:08,150 Let's go to clip number four, double click that. 72 00:04:08,780 --> 00:04:10,850 I'm going to just press an eye over here. 73 00:04:10,850 --> 00:04:13,550 I'm going to press on, oh, roughly there. 74 00:04:14,030 --> 00:04:15,890 And let's go to that last one. 75 00:04:18,750 --> 00:04:19,460 And I. 76 00:04:21,370 --> 00:04:27,940 And Presson, Dega, so I've got only five clips, I'm not going to do all 13 of them and I've marked 77 00:04:27,940 --> 00:04:32,290 the ins and outs and the ins and outs, although it seems kind of boring when you're doing it, it saves 78 00:04:32,290 --> 00:04:33,980 you hours of time later. 79 00:04:34,510 --> 00:04:35,980 So let's go to our edit button. 80 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,090 And what you can see is I've got a huge timeline. 81 00:04:39,130 --> 00:04:40,420 I don't need it that big. 82 00:04:40,420 --> 00:04:44,020 So I'm just going to make it smaller like so I've got all my clips. 83 00:04:44,020 --> 00:04:46,420 But again, I can't see them because I'm on a laptop. 84 00:04:46,420 --> 00:04:52,000 So I'm going to press on that button there just to get a list for you to any time I lose the order of 85 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,840 my movie, I can just click on the real ID button and my movies are back in order. 86 00:04:56,290 --> 00:04:57,670 A couple of things I want to do. 87 00:04:57,850 --> 00:05:01,060 Let's resize that window so I can actually see my movie. 88 00:05:01,420 --> 00:05:02,950 So I like to see it nice and big. 89 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,920 And I noticed that my movie is called Sequence One. 90 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,310 I'm going to rename that by clicking on the button everything. 91 00:05:09,790 --> 00:05:13,120 And you can see that there's an empty movie called Sequence One. 92 00:05:13,420 --> 00:05:16,960 I would like to call this film one, so it just sounds better. 93 00:05:17,290 --> 00:05:21,970 I'm going to go and click back on clips and let's start with the city scene. 94 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,470 What you'll notice, I've got a red marker in an empty time line. 95 00:05:26,470 --> 00:05:28,660 This is a movie which I haven't made yet. 96 00:05:28,990 --> 00:05:31,270 If I move the red line, I'm actually moving. 97 00:05:32,670 --> 00:05:37,920 In and out of my movie, but I haven't got a movie to start with, so let's rewind back to the beginning, 98 00:05:38,670 --> 00:05:42,240 pick it up and throw it into the timeline there. 99 00:05:42,570 --> 00:05:48,630 But because I marked an in and out, it only picked up that part of the movie that I marked over here. 100 00:05:48,630 --> 00:05:49,590 That's really useful. 101 00:05:50,010 --> 00:05:53,570 Let's go to the busy intersection and we'll throw that down there. 102 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:55,950 And number three. 103 00:05:57,110 --> 00:06:06,380 I was there number four over here and number five over here, like so now you can see if we watch our 104 00:06:06,380 --> 00:06:08,570 movie, it will work quite well. 105 00:06:10,220 --> 00:06:12,740 We go from the first to the second movie. 106 00:06:13,850 --> 00:06:17,850 And so on and so on, so it's kind of doing its job right now like that. 107 00:06:18,170 --> 00:06:22,910 Now you'll notice as you're making a movie that you marked in an in and out. 108 00:06:23,570 --> 00:06:27,380 But when you look at it in the movie, you kind of think, well, that is really lasting too long. 109 00:06:27,390 --> 00:06:32,400 I didn't want to be staring at that movie for five or six seconds. 110 00:06:32,630 --> 00:06:33,820 So how do we shorten a clip? 111 00:06:33,830 --> 00:06:35,680 Let's just zoom in a little bit. 112 00:06:36,050 --> 00:06:39,380 What I'm going to do is you have to look very carefully here as I move my mouse. 113 00:06:40,650 --> 00:06:45,840 You'll notice that the movie clip that I'm on starts to tell you where your mouth is. 114 00:06:45,850 --> 00:06:54,450 So if I go over here and I simply click my mouse and I drag my mouse back, I really only wanted about 115 00:06:54,540 --> 00:06:55,490 three seconds. 116 00:06:55,530 --> 00:06:57,330 Let's move it to about three seconds. 117 00:06:57,930 --> 00:07:00,450 Let's just watch that movie again to what happened. 118 00:07:02,010 --> 00:07:03,240 Indeed, that's way better. 119 00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:09,810 There's my intersection and there's my thing there, and there's the cross and red. 120 00:07:09,850 --> 00:07:13,970 OK, so we're doing well over there, so we've got our small sections there. 121 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,680 Let's just have a quick look as we go along. 122 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:21,170 Yep, that's good. 123 00:07:22,870 --> 00:07:28,810 Let's make that a little bit shorter, simply because it would look better to have a look like so. 124 00:07:30,570 --> 00:07:33,210 Let's make that a little bit longer. 125 00:07:33,230 --> 00:07:34,650 So how do we make something longer? 126 00:07:34,670 --> 00:07:36,380 We go again to its end. 127 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:44,050 And instead of moving it backwards, we move it forwards and we can actually drag it out like so and 128 00:07:44,050 --> 00:07:44,950 we go like this. 129 00:07:47,250 --> 00:07:48,730 Yeah, that's a little bit better. 130 00:07:48,750 --> 00:07:54,330 That's what I wanted to do, so that is a really fast way of getting your ins and outs sorted out, 131 00:07:54,330 --> 00:07:58,920 dropping them into your movie, and then, of course, adjusting. 132 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,320 And really, you're fine tuning. 133 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:06,780 You're really editing the movie when you Makhanya International, it's let's deal with a clip we haven't 134 00:08:06,780 --> 00:08:06,930 done. 135 00:08:06,930 --> 00:08:08,880 Let's go to Times Square. 136 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,510 I'm going to double click that and you'll notice that it opens up a little window here. 137 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,510 That's simply so that I can mark my N. 138 00:08:17,010 --> 00:08:21,840 And my out now, I've marked my in and out, and I would really like to put that there, which is a 139 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:22,950 little bit harder now. 140 00:08:23,130 --> 00:08:31,950 So what I want to do is I really want to be able to move my red line to those beginning and end of all 141 00:08:31,950 --> 00:08:32,670 my MovieClips. 142 00:08:32,820 --> 00:08:37,350 Now, you can do that simply by doing the forward and rewind over here. 143 00:08:37,710 --> 00:08:40,330 If you click, it will go backwards and forwards. 144 00:08:40,680 --> 00:08:48,050 I find the keyboard shortcuts of a to go backwards and s to go forwards really useful. 145 00:08:48,060 --> 00:08:50,070 It stops me having to use the mouse all the time. 146 00:08:50,340 --> 00:08:56,490 I'm going to press one more time, go to the end and I'm going to now click on this button which drops 147 00:08:56,490 --> 00:08:59,880 that movie into their perfect. 148 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:03,330 I'm going to close this little clip down because I would like a much bigger window. 149 00:09:03,870 --> 00:09:05,280 Let's have a look what that looks like. 150 00:09:08,250 --> 00:09:11,080 That's quite what I want to make this a little bit longer. 151 00:09:11,130 --> 00:09:12,000 Yeah, like that. 152 00:09:14,180 --> 00:09:19,760 Now, what I've noticed is I don't want this to just cut from the traffic. 153 00:09:21,550 --> 00:09:27,370 To that scene there, so really what I want to do is I want to put a fade or a dissolve in there, and 154 00:09:27,370 --> 00:09:30,760 the way we can do that is by clicking on our VFX button. 155 00:09:31,370 --> 00:09:33,330 You'll notice it looks quite complicated. 156 00:09:33,580 --> 00:09:37,260 Don't get scared by that because we don't really need to worry about those colors there. 157 00:09:37,570 --> 00:09:39,580 I'm just going to make the timeline a bit bigger. 158 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:40,140 Yeah. 159 00:09:40,630 --> 00:09:45,160 And what I want to do is add a new effect, the effect I want to add. 160 00:09:46,180 --> 00:09:49,370 And you'll notice that when you click on it, it should just say favorite. 161 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:54,010 So what we want to do is we want to put it on a mix and it's a dissolve we want. 162 00:09:54,250 --> 00:09:55,270 So I'm going to pick it up. 163 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:01,140 And I don't want to go over there and I don't want to over there, I actually want it half and half. 164 00:10:01,410 --> 00:10:06,120 So I want half of the old movie and half of the new movie to dissolve into one another. 165 00:10:06,450 --> 00:10:07,830 And you'll see that when I press play. 166 00:10:09,500 --> 00:10:14,060 It's the effect we see in so many movies and so many programs, and it looks amazing. 167 00:10:15,020 --> 00:10:18,920 Let's go back to our edit button and you can see what the effect of that was. 168 00:10:20,090 --> 00:10:24,640 And there you go, you can see let me just zoom out a little bit, and there's my whole movie so far. 169 00:10:24,650 --> 00:10:31,100 So we jump from one movie to another movie, and then when we get to this last car over here, we actually 170 00:10:31,100 --> 00:10:33,870 use a dissolve just to make it look really nice. 171 00:10:34,310 --> 00:10:40,010 So what we've done in this video so far is we've grabbed our movies from our phone. 172 00:10:40,010 --> 00:10:43,490 We've put them on our computer, and then we've put them into Lightworkers. 173 00:10:43,670 --> 00:10:47,810 We have ordered our movies if we've got a lot of them just to help us out. 174 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,770 And most importantly, we mark some ins and some outs. 175 00:10:52,580 --> 00:10:54,800 We then put that movie clips into our timeline. 176 00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:59,030 And we've also used a dissolve to kind of give us a nice special effect. 177 00:10:59,210 --> 00:11:05,600 And for the fine tuning, we've just taken our mouse and move the ends of clips around just to make 178 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,660 sure that everything on that screen is exactly how we want it to look. 179 00:11:10,070 --> 00:11:14,670 So in the following videos, we're going to be dealing with titles because they're really important. 180 00:11:14,990 --> 00:11:20,450 And of course, audio, which we have not touched in this video, because that's quite an important 181 00:11:20,450 --> 00:11:26,210 thing that we need a separate video for, to open up like works and have a go at editing your own movies.
