1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:06,240 This video, we're going to look at some of the more intermediate features, and for this one, I thought 2 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,150 we'd do a quick project, which is making a trailer or an advert. 3 00:00:10,170 --> 00:00:16,440 Now, this is useful if you're making an intro for your YouTube channel or if you're making an advert 4 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:16,980 itself. 5 00:00:17,310 --> 00:00:24,900 And the way that I like to work when making these shorter films that only last 10, 15, 20 seconds 6 00:00:25,230 --> 00:00:29,680 is I like editing to music rather than adding music to my edit. 7 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:30,960 Now, what do I mean by that? 8 00:00:31,380 --> 00:00:33,270 Well, I'll show you by an example. 9 00:00:33,540 --> 00:00:36,360 I've got a piece of music from the Free Music Archive. 10 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,570 I'll put a name in the description and a link. 11 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,790 It's a brilliant piece of music and I'll just play it for you. 12 00:00:52,630 --> 00:00:54,960 They say that's a pretty good piece of music. 13 00:00:55,010 --> 00:00:57,680 They're really nice, it will go really well with a trailer. 14 00:00:57,970 --> 00:01:03,760 Now, what I've already done is I've dropped the song at around 20 seconds and added in a fade. 15 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,370 If you don't know how to do that, go and watch the video on Lightworkers, an audio of how to get audio 16 00:01:09,370 --> 00:01:10,800 in there and how to adjust levels. 17 00:01:11,530 --> 00:01:15,190 I've only got two tracks in my movie or in my edit. 18 00:01:15,190 --> 00:01:21,280 I've got one video track and one audio track and you can see a into again, this is a stereo track. 19 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:26,620 So I'm seeing the left and the right of my music track for this one. 20 00:01:26,620 --> 00:01:32,230 I'm going to be doing a lot of switching, often on tracks, because again, as you remember, if I 21 00:01:32,230 --> 00:01:35,740 pick up a clip and put it down, it will just overwrite my audio. 22 00:01:35,980 --> 00:01:37,300 And I don't want to do that today. 23 00:01:37,570 --> 00:01:44,140 Now, because I've got such a short amount of time to make this clip, I need to edit to music now. 24 00:01:44,140 --> 00:01:45,040 What do I mean by that? 25 00:01:45,050 --> 00:01:45,940 I said that before. 26 00:01:46,300 --> 00:01:51,700 What I mean by that is if we now zoom in, we can see that the music has a beat. 27 00:01:52,030 --> 00:01:53,020 Now, where is that beat? 28 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,740 Now, if we were to play this music again, I'll just rewind it to the start. 29 00:01:57,190 --> 00:01:58,990 You'll actually be able to see the beats. 30 00:02:07,250 --> 00:02:12,140 Now, if you're listening very carefully, you can see that every time these peaks go up and down, 31 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,090 you can actually hear the music getting louder and quieter. 32 00:02:15,350 --> 00:02:19,490 So let me play that one more time and then you can actually see where the music is. 33 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,160 And I'll use my fingers to kind of click the beat. 34 00:02:22,460 --> 00:02:28,100 And if you time what I'm doing with what you're saying, you'll see where the drums and the peaks and 35 00:02:28,100 --> 00:02:30,020 the loud bits of music are. 36 00:02:38,290 --> 00:02:43,120 So you can see that with my clicking, you can kind of see that I'm clicking to a beat now some music 37 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,840 is really easy because you'll hear the beat because there'll be quite a loud drum in there. 38 00:02:47,170 --> 00:02:52,680 This music, which is a bit more orchestral, bit more with the violins, an orchestra instrument, 39 00:02:52,780 --> 00:02:54,810 it doesn't really have a drumbeat as such. 40 00:02:54,820 --> 00:02:57,320 It just has a drum that plays every so often. 41 00:02:57,640 --> 00:03:03,940 So what I'm going to do is I'm just very quickly going to edit a movie or a trailer and think of this 42 00:03:03,940 --> 00:03:08,050 as a really quick trailer, maybe for a pair of shoes or something like this. 43 00:03:08,060 --> 00:03:15,310 I've gone very sporty here, so I'm going to choose my first clip, which is going to be this guy jogging. 44 00:03:15,550 --> 00:03:17,410 No, I don't really need long clips. 45 00:03:17,410 --> 00:03:21,370 I really just want to fill up 15 to 20 seconds of movie. 46 00:03:21,610 --> 00:03:24,510 And what we'll do is let's just have a quick look at this clip. 47 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:25,800 Yeah, that's pretty good. 48 00:03:25,820 --> 00:03:27,160 So he's just running forward. 49 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,180 So let's just do a quick in and quick out. 50 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:32,350 Let's have a look now. 51 00:03:32,350 --> 00:03:34,390 Of course, we're going to do a really quick edit here. 52 00:03:34,390 --> 00:03:39,700 So we're going to have to throw things in and then kind of move them around and make them shorter. 53 00:03:39,700 --> 00:03:41,620 So we're going to go quite quick in this video. 54 00:03:41,620 --> 00:03:45,940 And if you're finding yourself a little bit behind or you don't know what I'm doing, go back and watch 55 00:03:45,940 --> 00:03:50,590 the rest of those videos in this playlist of the Lightworkers basics, one and all the other videos 56 00:03:50,590 --> 00:03:52,000 are made and you'll soon catch up. 57 00:03:52,390 --> 00:03:57,010 So let's switch off the audio for a second, pick up and put him down there. 58 00:03:57,010 --> 00:04:02,080 I think I might actually start the clip when the music starts and you can see where that music starts 59 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,730 is right there, Sasseville. 60 00:04:03,730 --> 00:04:05,230 OK, so it's going to start off black. 61 00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:06,610 Just get rid of this one. 62 00:04:07,060 --> 00:04:09,430 Let's see how much of this movie I didn't grab. 63 00:04:09,430 --> 00:04:10,270 So let's have a look. 64 00:04:12,630 --> 00:04:14,630 So what I'm going to do is I'm going to. 65 00:04:16,100 --> 00:04:20,260 I'm going to actually finish that clip just where my mouth is there to that beat there. 66 00:04:20,570 --> 00:04:22,370 So what I'm going to do is disable that. 67 00:04:22,850 --> 00:04:26,360 I'm just going to move it down to about there. 68 00:04:26,370 --> 00:04:27,910 I'm going to be quite exact. 69 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,140 So where the red line is is where that next drumbeat starts. 70 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,450 Let's just listen to her again. 71 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,200 And you can see it just goes off right there. 72 00:04:37,970 --> 00:04:43,850 So when that drum beats, I want a new clip to come in, what I'm going to do is. 73 00:04:45,820 --> 00:04:49,580 Might just grab this one over here, so let's just double click that. 74 00:04:51,460 --> 00:04:53,560 It's a really simple clip of Tom. 75 00:04:54,890 --> 00:04:56,930 Tying their shoes, let's just do that in. 76 00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:03,770 And a quick out, let's pick it up and put it down, so let's just have a quick look at that. 77 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,080 With the audio, of course. 78 00:05:08,670 --> 00:05:13,800 Let's do a really quick edit on that one there, so I'm going to go to the next drumbeat. 79 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:14,550 So it's going to go. 80 00:05:15,820 --> 00:05:17,080 With the sound, of course. 81 00:05:19,270 --> 00:05:25,330 So I'm going to do a really quick cut from those shoes kind of there, and I'm going to just throw in 82 00:05:25,330 --> 00:05:31,240 my next one, which is going to be I'm just doing this random, so I haven't planned this in advance. 83 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,720 I'm really just grabbing some clips and going for it. 84 00:05:34,210 --> 00:05:34,850 Let's have a look. 85 00:05:34,910 --> 00:05:37,450 And it's quite a nice clip of people kayaking. 86 00:05:37,450 --> 00:05:40,660 So let's just do an in and out now. 87 00:05:40,660 --> 00:05:42,430 You can hear there's a lot of sound with that clip. 88 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,910 So I've disabled my audio, of course, and I've put that in. 89 00:05:46,450 --> 00:05:48,490 So let's just see where this is going to go. 90 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,500 I'm now just going to work visually. 91 00:05:50,500 --> 00:05:56,350 So every time I see one of these loud peeks over here, just going to kind of edit to that peak there. 92 00:05:56,500 --> 00:05:59,830 And if it's not right, I'll just edit it out and move some stuff around. 93 00:05:59,830 --> 00:06:02,290 Let's put the audio back in and see what's happening here. 94 00:06:05,580 --> 00:06:06,870 That's quite a quick cut there. 95 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,430 And that's quite a long clip there, so let's just keep putting our clips in. 96 00:06:15,140 --> 00:06:16,240 I'll see what I've got. 97 00:06:16,260 --> 00:06:20,910 I've got a flag over here, I've got a basketball or I've got a snowboard, I've got a skateboarder, 98 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,500 so I've got quite a few clips. 99 00:06:22,740 --> 00:06:29,010 So what I'm going to do is rather than me going through every single cut I do, what I'll do right now 100 00:06:29,010 --> 00:06:30,690 is I'm just going to pause the video. 101 00:06:31,060 --> 00:06:33,880 When I come back, you'll see that I've got all my edits in. 102 00:06:33,900 --> 00:06:36,240 So I'm not going to do anything that you haven't done already. 103 00:06:36,540 --> 00:06:39,630 But I just don't want to waste your time showing you all the stuff I'm doing. 104 00:06:39,630 --> 00:06:41,880 So I'll be back in just one second. 105 00:06:42,330 --> 00:06:43,060 Welcome back. 106 00:06:43,110 --> 00:06:49,200 I've been at this for about 20 minutes now, and I must say I've had a lot of fun doing this now without 107 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,400 even showing you the film. 108 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,640 You might see a pattern in front of you. 109 00:06:53,670 --> 00:06:56,370 Now, listen to this music and the way it works. 110 00:06:56,490 --> 00:07:00,810 What I figured out would be cool is to play two short clips and then a long clip. 111 00:07:01,170 --> 00:07:03,630 Too short, long, too short, long. 112 00:07:03,900 --> 00:07:06,120 And you see, I've kind of repeated that pattern now. 113 00:07:06,540 --> 00:07:11,520 By the time I did that three or four times, I realized the pattern got quite boring. 114 00:07:11,530 --> 00:07:18,240 So what I ended up doing was making some of the clips longer, trying at all times to keep in time roughly 115 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:18,920 with the music. 116 00:07:19,290 --> 00:07:27,240 Now one now a trap that you don't want to fall into is trying to cut your clips precisely the same length 117 00:07:27,570 --> 00:07:28,170 to the beat. 118 00:07:28,180 --> 00:07:34,620 So if you've got a beat, which is doing that and you cut your clips exactly on the beat every single 119 00:07:34,620 --> 00:07:40,530 time by the sixth or seventh cut, most people watching will kind of switch off their brains because 120 00:07:40,530 --> 00:07:42,030 they already know what's going to happen. 121 00:07:42,390 --> 00:07:47,130 So if you vary the length of your clips, sometimes you can do it on the beat, sometimes you can do 122 00:07:47,130 --> 00:07:47,760 it off to be. 123 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,420 I've done it kind of roughly here and here where they're on the beat, but not quite. 124 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,000 So I'll play this clip as it is. 125 00:07:54,210 --> 00:08:00,180 And note, it's 15 seconds long and what we're going to do is throw in a title at the end just to kind 126 00:08:00,180 --> 00:08:01,770 of make it more adverted. 127 00:08:01,950 --> 00:08:04,560 So here's the advert as I've made it so far. 128 00:08:22,940 --> 00:08:28,280 And you can see him kind of ending with the slow motion basketball dunk, and you can also see that 129 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:29,720 I've reused some clips. 130 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,910 Now, of course, I could have just gone and filmed or downloaded a whole bunch of other clips, but 131 00:08:34,910 --> 00:08:40,700 I thought it was quite cool to go back and see the same things at slightly different times to make this 132 00:08:40,700 --> 00:08:42,660 advert a little bit more professional looking. 133 00:08:42,680 --> 00:08:48,640 We need a title, a slogan or something to end the trailer so it can't just be a bunch of pictures. 134 00:08:48,890 --> 00:08:56,120 So what we'll do is go to the VFX button and we're going to click on the plus and grab a text VFX. 135 00:08:56,420 --> 00:09:01,850 And if you want to keep something really simple, if you just want some text on the screen, then grab 136 00:09:01,850 --> 00:09:05,680 the one that's called titles and throw it on wherever you want it to go. 137 00:09:06,020 --> 00:09:11,360 And obviously we've got a huge problem already because as soon as the dunk starts, we've just got this 138 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:17,730 word sample text across the whole of that clip, which is really not the way we wanted it. 139 00:09:17,750 --> 00:09:26,570 First of all, let's invent our slogan, which is going to be take it to the max exclamation marks like 140 00:09:26,570 --> 00:09:26,920 so. 141 00:09:27,350 --> 00:09:28,850 So that's going to be our slogan. 142 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:36,700 Let's unfold this VFX out of the movie so that we can now treat it like a separate clip. 143 00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:37,670 Let's go back to edit. 144 00:09:38,270 --> 00:09:43,760 And what I really want is this title to be at the end of that dunk kind of around there. 145 00:09:44,150 --> 00:09:49,670 So I'm going to take it there, disable all the other tracks and just press see, I'm going to pick 146 00:09:49,670 --> 00:09:53,360 this up and kind of throw it away, enable all of that. 147 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,410 And you can now see. 148 00:09:55,770 --> 00:09:57,600 But it will come in and there you go. 149 00:09:57,630 --> 00:09:59,300 So really, I want it there now. 150 00:09:59,310 --> 00:10:00,330 Of course I can. 151 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,560 Make it a little bit longer so that it kind of stays there. 152 00:10:08,010 --> 00:10:08,950 That's kind of cool. 153 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,440 Now, let's go and fix the way that that takes looks, because it really doesn't look good. 154 00:10:13,740 --> 00:10:19,320 So I'm going to choose a phone call Futura, which is quite nice for this. 155 00:10:20,290 --> 00:10:22,000 And I'm going to make it. 156 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,810 Quite big there now I can see that it's got a drop shadow. 157 00:10:25,830 --> 00:10:27,060 I actually don't need that. 158 00:10:27,060 --> 00:10:30,600 So I'm going to go to the shadows, click on the color and just. 159 00:10:31,570 --> 00:10:37,990 Move the alpha to zero, which removes it completely, and the color of the font is not doing me any 160 00:10:37,990 --> 00:10:44,620 favors, so I'm going to do is kind of take it to the pinkish reddish mark their. 161 00:10:46,570 --> 00:10:52,810 And what we can now see is that as the sequence plays, the guy comes in for the dunk, we've got to 162 00:10:52,810 --> 00:10:57,320 take it to the max there, and then he kind of stays in the black. 163 00:10:57,340 --> 00:10:59,750 I think we can actually make that a little bit longer. 164 00:10:59,750 --> 00:11:04,810 So let's go to the edit one to just to be a little bit longer, like. 165 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,570 Maybe they're so let's have a look now, it's going to come in. 166 00:11:09,970 --> 00:11:15,550 Yeah, that's kind of what I wanted, so let's tidy this up a little bit, because although it's looking 167 00:11:15,550 --> 00:11:18,520 good, we need to just add a few finishing touches. 168 00:11:18,850 --> 00:11:20,200 Let's go back to the VFX. 169 00:11:20,710 --> 00:11:27,010 What I'm going to do is now click on the plus and I'm going to go back to my mixes and I'm going to 170 00:11:27,010 --> 00:11:31,610 throw in a dissolve or I'm going to do is put that at the end of the dunk. 171 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:39,220 Now, the effect of that is that as they go Dunk's, it's going to fade that picture out, leaving the 172 00:11:39,220 --> 00:11:41,470 text really quite strong. 173 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,880 And finally, what I want to do is rather than have the text just appear on the screen like that, I 174 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,020 want to use a key frame. 175 00:11:49,170 --> 00:11:50,280 So what is a key frame? 176 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,600 Well, a key frame in video editing means that you can animate something on the screen. 177 00:11:54,750 --> 00:11:56,820 In this case, I want to animate the text. 178 00:11:57,210 --> 00:12:02,100 But in reality, in Lightworkers, you can animate almost anything, but we'll get into that later. 179 00:12:02,130 --> 00:12:08,160 So in this case, what I'm going to do is use my Iraqis to go to the very first frame. 180 00:12:09,870 --> 00:12:11,600 That we have to take it to the max. 181 00:12:13,810 --> 00:12:15,280 Which would be roughly. 182 00:12:21,310 --> 00:12:28,600 Fine tune that so it's going to be roughly about there and what I'm going to do is where it says sighs 183 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,090 I'm going to click on that stopwatch sign. 184 00:12:31,510 --> 00:12:36,940 As soon as I do that, you can see that there's a little diamond down below and I'm going to just move 185 00:12:36,940 --> 00:12:38,170 my slider until. 186 00:12:40,380 --> 00:12:44,040 The text is at its smallest point and what that should do. 187 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,920 Is animate the text to its maximum. 188 00:12:49,940 --> 00:12:52,740 Now, remember, I already set the size as the maximum. 189 00:12:53,030 --> 00:12:57,530 Now, what I could do is click on the thing again and set the size again. 190 00:12:57,530 --> 00:13:01,590 And you'll notice that a diamond appears over here as soon as I change a setting. 191 00:13:01,940 --> 00:13:07,390 So in this case, I can fine tune it and take it all the way to the edges of the screen. 192 00:13:07,430 --> 00:13:15,710 And now when we run this animation, he dunks as it fades out, the text comes in and takes the whole 193 00:13:15,710 --> 00:13:18,650 screen their likes, which is quite cool. 194 00:13:18,860 --> 00:13:22,070 So that video that shows you No. 195 00:13:22,070 --> 00:13:28,520 One, how to edit to music, how to get all your clips in and then also do a little bit of animation 196 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,210 on the text that we've got. 197 00:13:30,410 --> 00:13:35,090 So if we were to watch the video now, it should look something like this. 198 00:13:54,370 --> 00:13:58,810 I think you agree it's not perfect, but not bad for 25 minutes of work.
