Importing and Organising Clips

Go to videos to look for video files on computer

Select the clips you want to use Then press

Select storyboard view

Select as many clips as you want and drag them into your storyboard

Arrange in any order you want by clicking and dragging to a new place on your storyboard

Cropping and TrimmingClips

Go to timeline view. This view shows the clips length

Select the clip you would like to trim Drag sides to take away the end or beginning

Or if you want to split a clip in half Move green line to where you want it split Press split Original clip becomes split into 2 clips

Adding titles and credits

I prefer to use storyboard view

Decided where you want your title

Type in what you want the title to be

When finished

It has now been added to your storyboard

Now with credits it's almost exactly the same.

Do the same thing you did for the title

Now you have credits added

Adding transitions

Choose the transition you want to use and then drag and drop into box between clips

Transition now added Now repeat with the rest of them

Adding special effects

Choose the effects you want to place with each clip

Drag and drop onto the star

You can have up to 2 effects for each clip Now repeat with Drag and drop onto the star Now repeat with the rest of them You can have up to 2 effects for each clip

Adding audio and narration

Choose the music files you want for the movie

It will now show up in your imported media

Drag this audio file down into the audio/music layer

Now added in audio/music layer Drag clip to put it where you want the track to start

Pull handles toward the centre to shorten or trim your clip

Then overlapped the 2 tracks so you couldn't really tell My clip wasn't long enough so I added another one so that I could get right to the end.

My movie is now finished and ready for exporting
