Starting on YouTube: Windows Video Editing Programs

2010-07-26
okay so I'm going to first show you guys the free option which is Windows Live Movie Maker now this is not a very very in-depth editor so you won't find a lot of the more you know hardcore effects such as you know picture and picture and anything really in-depth but for a lot of people if you're just you know just just doing a couple of copy and paste just to put a couple clips together you need just you maybe like a music in like some slideshow or something movie maker will be just fine for you and of course it is free and if you're interested in going ahead and getting it I will have the link in the description so guys it works very simply let's go ahead just add the pictures or video so let's go ahead and jump over here and I already have the intro to the video so let's go ahead and just drop this in give it just a second as you guys can see it's a pretty decent interface it's nothing amazing the one thing I will mention though is that while Live Movie Maker it's if you're a beginner it's really pretty simple to get actually if you've ever used you know any more in-depth editors actually it's kind of a little bit confusing so go ahead and try to explain it to you so basically this is the clip if we wanted to go ahead and add music we can do a lot of different things such as title credits etc we're going to go ahead and just cut this down so what we can do and just scrub through here and just pick out whatever time I want so let's say that's it I'm not going to really do it all that in-depth it's going here to video tools we hit split let's go ahead just get rid of this first part so this is where the video starts and let's just say for example this is whether the un's of course guys you know I'm just just giving you a really brief example so here's our video we can go ahead and scrub through it I feel like I said if we want to go ahead and add some animations between different things so you know could fly slide in etc etc we also do visual effects so we can go ahead and may make it a little bit different but yeah it's not a big deal so guys that's really Windows Live Movie Maker and in that show you can do some pretty decent things I'm not really going to go into everything there are a couple of decent things that you can go ahead and actually just click this button and actually have it render and put it up on YouTube without even having to deal with it so that's a kind of nice feature you can go ahead of course and just render it in high-definition or really whatever you feel like but guys that's live movie maker if you know if you need something really basic bare-bones nothing really all that fancy everything then this is definitely something about one check out okay guys so now for the more advanced user this is court'll VideoStudio Pro x3 on so this is my video edited I've used this for quite a while I really really do like it basically a lot of you guys will probably know the program Sony Vegas well this is very similar to Sony Vegas Pro 9 only that it does about 90% of what Vegas does for about $500 less so I think that's a good compromise I'm generally quarrel of course it does cost general you can get it on Amazon I'll have the link in the description if you're interested I'm for about $70 or so for a video editing suite is not that bad at all look why just give you guys a brief tour now look I said video studio is quite a bit more advanced I'm going to try to you know explain everything but I'll just show you how to edit a very simple clip so basically we have our full video thing here so we can go ahead and just scroll through videos so Glen just look for one so again let's grab that same clip as before and just drag down to the timeline now this actually does support quite a few different advanced features so for example picture and picture just go ahead just grab this d3 gaming intro drag it in here so that if we want just anchor it at the top left so then if we want we can go ahead and play it and you'll see that we have two different videos running at the same time so there you go guys if I want to I can go ahead and render that of course it's not what I want to do but just as a really brief description showing you guys how it works so again we can go ahead just scrub through wherever we want so again let's just drop a cut right here and delete this first part so that looks good let's scroll down and let's say that's 12 seconds to the video we want and that's that now there are several other things we can go ahead and do photos so let's go ahead and take my watermark you just drag down here again using the picture-in-picture so let's just put it on the bottom right that looks good let's see what else does what do we want to do let's go ahead and just add a random title so let's just drag and drop this down to the title tab again guys I don't really want to get too in-depth I'm just going to show you a brief you know a brief thing showing you how to do this so actually that's good so let's go ahead and just take a look at our video so I'm go ahead and just take a look at the project and there we go so of course guys nothing that exciting but there is quite a few things video studio will let you do you can go ahead there are quite a few different effects like for example auto sketch is actually something a lot of people like so just go give you a quick tour it actually pretty cool so as you see actually will sketch out the video which is a really really cool feature I love about that it's not of course you know the most useful thing in world but yeah and obviously you can go ahead and do music you can do transitions there's lots and lots of transitions so guys choral VideoStudio Pro x3 is a fantastic program now of course you still might need something more in-depth you might need Sony Vegas for example but again that runs you well over $500 whether this is about $70 so you know you can just weigh it out but personally between just the interface is pretty decent it's not really hard to understand it's really very simple you can drag and drop most things I really do like choral VideoStudio Pro okay so let's go ahead and do a really quick recap so we just took a look at Windows Live Movie Maker which is a decent free tool it's not amazing it won't do a lot of the more in-depth video editing but if you just need to cut a couple of Clips you know edit it really quickly then it's definitely a really good choice and obviously it is free on the other hand if you need something more in-depth I do recommend coral VideoStudio Pro x3 on so it's something I use I've edited my videos on it for quite a while and before I got it I used its predecessor so I really do like it and I definitely like that while it is does cost about $70 or so that's not too bad considering that other more in-depth editors that won't do a whole lot more do cost quite a bit more so guys if you want to go ahead and just check out one of these two programs of course you might need something more in-depth so you might need Vegas or you might need some other program but for most of you one of these two programs will probably work at anyway guys I do want to thank tech tip Man TV for helping me out with the Mac side so guys definitely go ahead and check his channel out he's a great guy and I really appreciate helping me out anyway
