Producing quality videos is getting easier and easier.
How can you inspire students to curate better work?
Step One: Slow down…Speed UP!
Slow/quick motion can add a flare of drama or comedy. But now you can add it not only to one clip, but you can modulate your speeds within each clip.
HOW TO: Hold the R key and pull the portion of the clip in the timeline you want to adjust, remember you can always continue making adjustments.
Level up and make sure the Smooth option is checked, this makes your footage even more seamless.
Step Two: Get Correct!
Having balanced/corrected colors is useful particularly for films edited by groups. If footage was collected on different devices, or from a variety of angles, adjusting the colors helps you produce a more professional final product.
