Adobe tutorials

We decided to use the official help page for adobe to teach us the basics for our editing. This website was really useful as it was simple, easy to understand and allowed us to develop some key skills.

The first video that we looked at was ‘importing footage’, this helped us gain our basic skills needed, because without this very basic technique we wouldn’t have anything to edit. Through importing we could bring onto the screen either a still image or a video clip. This will help us when it comes to editing as we will then be able to choose the exact bits of footage we need.

The second video was creating a sequence. After importing this will help us move the footage we have into different places. From here we can choose what goes where, and for how long. The timeline will then be set for us to edit any further if needed.

Adding the title was the next video. This showed us how to get text, change the font and the colour. This is good because then we will be able to adapt the font quite easily and adjust the place.

The audio to our film is very important, this is the next video; ‘add and adjust audio’ was key. The audio is what will help create suspense in our opening two minutes therefore watching the video was very important.

‘Exporting to Youtube’, this was the final video. Once we had all the basic skill and techniques. The last thing we needed to do was to upload it to Youtube so then we could put it on our blogs. This was quite simple to do but we had to save it first.

Overall, the easy video tutorials were very helpful as they informed us on the simple techniques we’d use. This website has advanced videos too that we could watch if we wanted to change our opening two minutes at all.
