How to edit your first video

Editing your first video is straightforward with a simple workflow.

A video walkthrough for this guide is coming soon.

1. Import your footage. Bring all clips into your editor and organise them.
2. Lay clips on the timeline. Put them in order to tell your story.
3. Trim and cut. Remove dead space and keep only the best takes.
4. Add transitions sparingly. A simple cut is usually better than a fancy transition.
5. Add music and titles. Set the mood and label key moments.
6. Colour-correct and export. Balance the look, then export at the right resolution.
