Video Editing Tips and Tricks

You should be able to access one of these pieces of software:

photo app if your device is microsoft

imovie if your device is apple.

Below are some tips and tricks for both to help you create your news bulletin.

If you do not have Windows 10, you may find that you can still access Movie Maker. This will work in a

very similar way to the ‘Photo’ app.

Photo App – Microsoft

Search and open the ‘Photos’ app on your laptop or computer.

When you open ‘Photos’ you should see all of your videos and photos saved on your computer.

Select the video clips you wish to use by clicking the small box in the right hand corner of the picture.

You can select more than one video clip at a time.

Once you have chosen your video clips, select ‘new video project’.

You will be asked to name your video. Please use your initials and ‘California Dreaming’. For example,

mine would say ‘EW California Dreaming’. This will make it easier for your teacher when you email them

to us.

If you realise you have put your videos in the wrong order, you can click, hold and drag them to the

correct position in your storyboard.

If you would like to add text to your screen, select the video clip you would l ike to enhance then click the

‘text’ button. This will then give you option to choose the placement and font of your text.

Have fun!

iMovie – Apple

When you first open iMovie you will be given the option to create a new project.

Then select ‘Movie’.

You will then select your photos before clicking ‘create movie’.

Once your video has been created, you can click the settings symbol in the bottom right hand corner to

modify your video. iMovie does not offer as many options to edit your video as with the ‘Photo’ app but

it will still blend your video clips together.
