Today we are in the comfort of our home thanks to the quarantine we are going through. And one of the ways to be able to tolerate boredom and time, apart from carrying out your responsibility priorities at home, is to watch series, music or videos.
There are many platforms by which these three aforementioned hobbies are found. But people don’t get to know what’s behind a simple video of 5 minutes or more.
It takes a lot of patience, effort, planning and guidance to make those 5 minutes or more look good, and one of those is video editing.
As some people say “the magic of editing” and they are right, since this area is where the sound effects, images, transitions, color, etc. appear. That make that magic is embodied in a very beautiful and striking way, these videos can be of any subject; as long as they show adequate information, be it educational, support material on a specific topic or simply serve as distraction or entertainment such as movie videos, novels, comics, series, among others. Here it also motivates you to learn languages, since most of the programs are published in English. If you want your video to be immediately boosted in the industry of this kind of technology and you don’t want to spend cumbersome moments,
How to be a video editor?
To be one is easy, you will only need a computer or computer and a video editor. You can get a wide variety of editing programs. Whether it’s for people who are starting out on the path of being an editor and even professionals who want to make movies of different genres.
As there are many editing programs, the one that I can recommend if you are new or if you are looking for a comfortable one, is Wondershare Fil mora. Which is particularly for me the most complete video editor, easy to understand and use. Although you will have to pay (money). In their respective page to be able to have the full version and to be able to access the free effects packages. That the store offers you so that you are not looking for effects on unreliable pages or places.
Anyone can be a video editor. The important thing is to be constant since nothing is difficult to do if you persevere in your learning action and keep practicing. Since the video has to be well edited so that a large audience joins it and they can understand what is edited in it.
The recommendation that I give you is that the audio does not have to be heard either very loud or low, if you are going to place images as edited, try not to cover the entire screen (this requirement is necessary), the sound effects must appear at the right moment and all these elements have to be well synchronized with the video.
It may be somewhat difficult for you at first. But you will only get the good reward if you get to the end of the video making, persevere until you achieve your goal.
How to improve your learning techniques?
At first you will feel that you are not advancing in the edition or that you do not know how to progress, and you will wonder how to improve. It is simple:
- The best option that I can give you is that you have as a “role model”. There are many people on the internet who are experts in video editing. You just need to see their content (and if possible, receive their courses) so you can be prepared. Keep in mind that the person or editor you will hire is using the same editing program that you are going to use.
- Another option I give you is to get serious about learning and focus on practicing. You can watch a video in which it has many elements or tools that will help you edit. Assimilate what you have learned and start editing one in which you can reach the goal or even if you set your mind to it, you can surpass the original video that served as an example.
- You can have all the sound effects, images, transitions, filters, etc. But how are you going to use them in the best way? You will achieve that by editing your own video.
- Nor should you exaggerate and overload the entire video with so many elements because it will look very saturated. The image will not be appreciated and you will lose focus on the information you want to express.
- The idea is that the video is entertaining so that people feel attracted and passionate by giving it a “like”. Remember that the videos are to guide and not to create confusion or stress.
