How to Edit Videos with Filmora 11 - Beginners Class

- Hi there, Jamie here today, at Teachers Tech. Hope you're having a great day today. Today, I'm here to show you how to edit videos in Filmora 11. Now Filmora, I think, is one of the easiest video editors is to learn for beginners, which has a ton of different features in it. Things like motion tracking, or split screen, or green screen. So many different things that you can do to make your videos look very professional with minimal amount of knowing how to do it. In this video today, this begi

nner's video tutorial on Filmora 11, I'm gonna go over the basics so you can start creating those videos. Now, Filmora 11 is available on your Mac or Windows. You can download it for free to test it out, put the link down below, but it is gonna be watermarked. You do need to purchase it if you do wanna be using all the different features without a watermark. Let's get started with how to use Filmora 11 today, on Teachers Tech. I just wanted to point out, the folder that I'm gonna be using for me

dia here today are files that I downloaded from Pixabay. So, I downloaded some video clips, some audio clips, and some pictures, that I placed in this folder for demo purposes. But, Filmora 11 actually has Pixabay built right into it as one of the features, and I'll be explaining that a little later, how you can access those files as well. Take a look at the timestamps down below and you'll be able to see different parts of the video when I talk about different sections, and you can just jump to

that part by clicking on the time. Let's get started here, with Filmora 11. When you open up your Filmora 11, you're gonna be greeted with this screen right here, and you get some different options on how you want to create your video. Now, for today's purpose, I am gonna be creating it just from New Project here. I do wanna point out, with Instant Mode, you can select one of these and it's using a template and you can make videos very quickly that way. In Create Project, like we're gonna do, i

t'll allow you just to understand how everything is made a bit more. You do have some features underneath Create Projects with Auto Reframe, so this will motion track and crop an object at the same time. We have Auto Beat Sync, this way will just sync your video or images with a song. We have our PC Screen, so you can record your PC screen here if you wanted to capture something like your teaching, and then you can edit it after. And we have AI Portrait, which can do things almost like a green s

creen, remove yourself without having a green screen or using Chroma Key, and then you can add other effects in it too. But for today's purpose, what I'm gonna be doing is just picking an aspect ratio. So, I'm gonna be using 16:9 here, but take a look, if you wanted to do something like Instagram or maybe TikTok, you would choose this one. You can pick different ones. And once you pick your aspect ratio, go ahead and hit New Project, like so, and then, now we're all ready to start bringing in ou

r media. So, let's go ahead and import some of our media. So, when I say media, I'm talking about video, or pictures, or songs, that I'm bringing in. And I can go head and just click right here, 'cause this is where I wanna bring them to. I could click on it and go to my folder. So, I knew that was on my desktop, here's my Filmora 11, which is the same one as this one, and I could go pick any of these, and I'll just pick one, and bring it in. A different way you could do it is you could just dra

g it right over. So, I could go and drag things right from in here to there, I could actually drag it onto the timeline, and this is where I'm gonna be working from in a moment when I'm editing my video. Notice when I drag it here, it put it up in here too. The other thing that you can do, if you have your folder, you can drag the whole folder in and then it just put everything in here. Even if I go ahead and delete something out of the timeline here, so if I go ahead and select this and hit del

ete, I'll get more into this in a moment, it doesn't delete it from here. Now, a couple things I just wanna show you is that how you might choose to see your different videos and media that you have. Here you have View, you can change your thumbnail size, so you can see how it slightly changes here. You can also Group. Now, you might want to Group by Type, so if I go by Type, it puts all your videos together and then it puts your photos and music, so it's just maybe quicker to find for you. But

maybe it's by Date, if you would like. So, you could go through and choose what you wanted, how you wanted things to be sorted or to be viewed on it. So, just some things before we get started, because the next step will be just dragging our media down here where we're gonna be creating our video. Once you bring in your media, I would suggest saving your project. So, you can go up to File up here and Save Project or Save Project As. You can see the shortcuts with the Ctrl + S or Ctrl + Shift + S

. We can also hit the Save button as we're working on things, right through here. So, go ahead and do that if you haven't done that yet. Now, I have my different media in here, to view any of this media, I can just simply click on it. So, I click on it and I can see the video right here of the bear on it. I can click on the pictures and it will show me the pictures of any of this. I can click on the music and I can listen to the music. So, I have all these different video clips and pictures in h

ere that I'll be creating a video from. Now, I do wanna point out other things that you can change if we look at the player over here. We can control this right here by stopping and playing our video from this point, or audio. Now, if we go over here, this is the playback, so right now, I had it at half, you can change it to full playback, depending on how it looks on your computer and everything too. It will sometimes run slower. If it's running slower, you could change the playback speed here.

This isn't gonna be what we finish our editing in. Let's say we want to change our project settings, a quick way to do this would be to preview quality display settings right here. We can change the project aspect ratio. So, if I go ahead and do this, if I didn't want to use 16:9 anymore, I could change it right through here and it'll adapt my project. I could change by resolution. If I wanted to go to 4K maybe, I could adjust it to those, or even my frame rate. I'm just gonna leave it the same

for this one. You can go up to File up top here and then you can go to your Project Settings, it will get you to the same place, and open up that. So, just a couple different places. This right here is a snapshot, it allows you to take a snapshot, so let's say if we're watching this video and maybe at this point, I stop it, I can just click a snapshot and it took a picture. You can see now, I have a picture that you can see, look by the icon here, and this is the video. So, it really makes a qu

ick way that you can pull a picture out of a video. This will just adjust the volume level of any audio that we're listening to. All right, so you've had your project saved, you've taken a look at the different media that you brought in, it's time to bring this down below into our different tracks. And this is where we're gonna be bringing it to do our editing. If you take a look down below, you can see the music notes here, this is gonna be for audio, and this is gonna be for our video tracks.

We can create more tracks, and I'm gonna show you how to do that in a bit, but let's just start off very basically and just drag one video down. So, if I go to the video here, I can drag a video and place it in the timeline here so I could preview it again, but at this point, I've actually started creating my video. And I'll show you how we can edit it in a moment, but we can bring pictures in as well. So, if I bring a picture in of this tiger, so now I could go ahead and hit play and you can se

e it. It would go from one of these, and then when it gets to the next one, it would play the tiger, just like that, and then I could go put another video. So, we're really just going along and putting the different images or videos in it in the order that we want. Now, I do wanna point out this right up here, so this allows me to zoom in and zoom out. It doesn't change the actual length, it just zooms in. So, if I bring it all the way over now, this red thing is the play head and I can drag thi

s around. Now, I'm not seeing any changes because I'm on a picture right now, but if I drag this as I navigate the bottom, if I go to where the bird is, if I drag the play head, now you can see the bird start to move almost frame-by-frame, because the more I zoom in when I drag my play head, it allows me to see that. Now, this will really help in editing when we start cutting our clips, because then you could bring it to a very specific spot to make the cut that you need. A lot of times when I'm

working, I'm zooming in and zooming out all the time 'cause I might wanna see my big picture of my video of everything, and then I might zoom up to an individual clip when I edit. With any of these, you can just click and hold and you can move it. If you drag it up, I wanna point out, it automatically creates a new video layer, just like it did there. It doesn't change how it's gonna be played. You can see, it changes if there's no gap in between the two of them, you can work on different layer

s and that's fine. If you overlap them though, you are only gonna see the top one. So, what I mean by, if I drag this back a bit and I hit play, and you can see the play head's over both of them, as it goes over, all I'm seeing is the peacock even though the tiger is there. That's because, if you're using the different layers, you're only gonna see the top one. So, just click and hold and drag along. You can select multiple ones, so if I draw my selection tool from my mouse over, I connect all o

f them, so I have several selected now, and you can see, I'm moving many of them right through there. If I zoom out, it gives you a better idea what might be happening with the different ones. So, that's some basic movement and creating extra tracks just by dragging and moving around the different clips. Let's talk about how we would be doing some editing of these clips. So, I'm gonna bring down a couple of video clips here, and I brought in a new one here, so I'm gonna just drag it down into th

is track right here, and I'm gonna drag the bird down here. I wanna point out the difference right away between each of these here, this one has audio on it and you can see, by all these wavelengths, this one doesn't have any audio. If I hit play, you can hear the audio right through here. You can quickly adjust this audio up and down by grabbing this volume, if I wanted it brought down, it's very quiet. So, it makes it very easy to adjust any volume. I could bring it all the way down if I didn'

t want to hear it. I'm just gonna go back with Ctrl + Z a couple of times to undo my last two. You could also use the arrows here for undo or redo. Now, on this one, I just wanna point out, you can quickly change the order of any video clips or pictures. I could drag them one in front of the other and I can just move them all the time, in whatever order I need to have them in. I'm gonna go ahead and delete this bird one here, I'm just gonna go and hit the garbage can. And now I'm gonna do some e

diting on this clip. So, to point out what I want right here, I want to be able to edit this part out right here, at the beginning here. And a quick way that we can edit is to just drag from either the begin or the end, and it's gonna trim the video clip that I'm working on. I do wanna point out, when we trim a clip down here, it doesn't change the original clip up here. It's just making a new video down here that, when we export it at the end, it will be the main one. So, it doesn't matter, we

haven't changed any of the original files when we're doing things down here. I'm gonna zoom up slightly so you can see a little bit better here. You can see, as I drag my play head, I drag it to a spot here. Now, I could do this in a few different ways to cut, at this point. Like I said, with the trim, what I can do, if I go and just hover over, and I'm gonna bring it away from the edge a little bit so you can see, if I hover over here, click and hold, I can start to just drag over right here an

d then just trim to that point. So, now let's see my beginning video. I'm gonna drag my play head back here and just hit start. And now, I don't have that part out. I can trim from the other end too. Let's say, I don't want this end part right here, so I could go ahead and go, let's say, right to here, I could just trim back, just like this. And now I've trimmed from the beginning and the end of a video clip. Now, the other thing you might want to do is to be able to go from the middle. And what

you can do is, if I go and use the scissors that you can see right here, I can go ahead and clip, so now I've made two chunks outta this. If I move this, I could clip again, and now I have this chunk up, I better click it, I'll click one more time, now I have a chunk that I can either change the order where I want, I could delete it, and then push these two together, just like that. I do wanna point out, when you trim from the ends or anything, take a look at this. I can grab the end again, I'm

gonna move my play head outta the way here, I can drag back what I trimmed off. So, if I go from either way, I can drag it back. Remember what I said, I haven't changed the original file on it, it's all there. So, if you trim a little bit too much, don't worry, you can just bring it back again by just simply dragging. So, you can trim from the beginning of a clip, you can trim from the end of the clip, or you can use the scissors to split it. You could either split it once, or you could split i

t multiple times. You can just clip it again, again, and again, and to make all these different cuts in it where you have these chunks that you can pull out, change the order, or even delete on it. So, those are just some things with some basic editing. So, I wanna point out the difference between a picture and a video clip when you're editing inside a video editor. So, if I take this tiger right here, and it's just a picture, I'm gonna drag it into this editor, this track right here, and I'm go

nna go and grab this video right here, I'm gonna put it on above this track. So, we have a video and a picture. Now, I've showed you how we can trim with a video, which is by dragging the ends back and forth. We can do that with a picture too, so if you want it to play longer, you can go ahead and drag it. But the one thing is, with the video, we're not making it any longer, we're just trimming either in or back to the original point. When you have a picture, you can make it play as long as you

want just by dragging the ends because it's static, it's not gonna change. But you can't go to a video clip and drag it any more, any longer than it already is. So, when you're placing your pictures, you can just make them fit very easily because you can keep dragging and dragging as long as you want with it. Now, I wanna talk about audio really quickly. So, just like video, it works very similar. If I go grab this audio of this music, I could draw drag it down into the audio track here. So, you

can see how loud it is by the increasing waves here and everything. I can drag, just like I did in the picture, I can adjust the gain very quickly on it if I needed to bring it up or down. So, if hit my space bar, is a quick way to stop or start when you're video editing. I prefer to do that, is hit the space bar to stop, start, really quickly. You can hear your video, you can see with the video up top. So, I can do the same things with the video. I could trim. So, if I grab it from the very be

ginning, hover over it, get the handles, I could drag in, and I could drag out again. So just like it, I could go to a spot if I wanted, I could clip out. So, maybe there's some clip in the middle that I liked, I could take two clips out, just like this. I could even change the order, I could bring it into another audio track if I want, so I could hit delete and then the gap is gone from there. So, just like working with the video, audio is very similar. You're gonna be lining up your audio on w

here you want it to play with the track. So, that's just some basic working with images or audio. So, now I'm gonna put in a few clips to see what we can put together. So, what I'm gonna do now is drag down a few different clips and pictures and make them all about 3-5 seconds and put them in order. So, I'll go start with this bear, and I'm gonna do this quite quickly. So, all I'm gonna do is go up to about a certain mark, hit my scissors here, and I'm gonna select this, and I can hit delete on

my keyboard or I could hit here, so I have this at four seconds. I'm gonna grab a picture now and drag it in, and I can choose if I want it to be on the same track, I can choose how long, maybe I'll put this, notice when I bring it over it says, duration time is now three seconds. I'll leave it. I could drag this up if I wanted maybe my pictures to be in this one. That's up to you, how you wanna do it. For this example, I'm gonna keep them the same. I'll bring in the owl here, and I'm gonna make

a quick cut here and delete this. And we'll bring in just a couple more things, we'll bring in the tiger, shorten this up, and we'll bring in this lizard here, and I'm just gonna go jump to this point. I'm gonna click in the timeline, you can see how the timeline jumps, and I'm gonna go and put this in here and just hit delete, and I'm gonna hit delete. Now, I'm gonna add some music. So, so far, I have some pictures and I have some videos, I could add this music here that I'm gonna use and drag

it right below. And I'm gonna drag my play head back to the beginning and I'm gonna hit my space bar. (gentle music) - So, I have this little video happening here. I could go to the end of this and I could trim my audio off, just like this. Now, another thing I could do is adjust do I want this to fade out on my audio? Anytime I click, if I double click on my clips here, you can see that I get some information that pops open right here. So if I wanted to fade out, I could put at what point do I

want it to fade out. So notice, as I drag back and forth, I could put a certain time. Right now, it's fading out. So, I could drag this back by hand if I wanted to, if I wanted it to start getting quieter, maybe I want this a little bit shorter. And now if I play it, I'll hit okay and hit my space bar. (gentle music) - It starts to fade out. So, by double clicking on this clip, you're gonna get this option open. And notice that there's a fade in and a fade out on these, we also do have denoise.

But I'm just keeping this to a basic tutorial and I wanted to show you that with some audio. Now, just like I showed you with the audio clip, any of these, we can double click on, we're gonna get more options, and I'm not gonna go through all these different options today, I'll have different videos. I do wanna point out though, if you double click on any of the clips, you're gonna get the different options for that clip of what it can do. So, you can see things like Chroma key, stabilization,

motion tracking, are all under there. All right, so now that we've had this little video going, the next thing I wanna show you is how to add transitions to this. So, now I wanna show you how easily you can add transitions in Filmora 11. So, looking at this little video project that we have here going, I want to add transitions between videos and images and images to video. If I go up to the very top, you can see that we have transitions right here. So, with transitions, if I click on them, righ

t away, it gives me this recommended and it shows me a bunch of them. You can go to Basic, Ripple Dissolve and see what they have. If I go to Basic- I'll just start with Dissolve, if I hover over it, it shows what it does in a little preview. Now, I do have to download these before I can use them, so I can just click on the little down arrow, it just takes a second. I can drag these in between two different, whether it be a video or a image, just like these two, and I'm gonna just hit play, I'm

gonna hit my space bar. (gentle music) - And you can see that transition between them. If I double click on the transition, I can do some more things here where I could change it to a prefix here where it moves it to the front or to the postfix, to the end, on it, I'm gonna leave it as is. And the duration is right now, two seconds, if you want it a longer or shorter duration of the transition, you can adjust it very quickly. If I hit okay and go back, I can go back and adjust it by just grabbin

g the length of it, just like that, and bring it in. So, if you wanted it a little quicker, you can see, I've adjusted it very quick, like that. With any of these other ones, if I look at any of these, and you can go through, I'm not gonna show a lot of them, but if I go and take this one, I could drag it down and very quickly, I'm gonna have that new transition between them. So, with your project that you're having, you can quickly drag between different ones. You notice, I don't even have to h

it the download, I can just drag first and then it does the download, but I'm just showing you how fast it will work. So, if I go back now, and you could adjust the length of each of those duration, I can go through and I have this little video with audio playing at this time, very quickly, just like that, with some nice transitions to it. Now, the other thing I just want to point out are some changes that I'd want to make to this, some editing. Notice, in this picture right here, I have the bla

ck bars because it's in a different aspect ratio. Let's say I don't want those ones, what I can do is, if I double click on this, and I talked about this before, and I'll just click this up, if you go to transform right here, so if I drop down, and we have some different things, we could rotate this. So you can see, I could rotate if I wanted it like this. Anytime I change anything, I can just hit the reset, I could flip it either way, so I could hit it again, so if you wanted to flip or do it u

p and down too. But what I wanna point out is the scale, so if I increase the size of this, so now I have no black bars, I could even change where I want this positioned, and I've made it large enough to cover the aspect here and I could hit okay. So now, I know on this tiger one, the same thing, I could double click on it and I could just go and scale it up, just like this, and I've gotten rid of the black bars on it so I can hit play, and things are a little bit smoother between the two. Now,

I could do this on videos too, so if I go over to this bear right here, I could go and decide, well, I want to zoom up on this. So, if I double click on this clip and I go to transform, I could scale this up too, so I'm making the video actually larger that way to fit into the aspect that I'm working with. So, that's just a few things with changing it. Now, I did wanna show you again, how Filmora 11 makes it so easy to add titles. Now, just like I showed you with the transitions, Titles, up top

here, are gonna be drag and drop again. So, with any titles, take a look at all the different options you have, go through, and it's gonna be the download, it will need to download the once when you drag it over, and take a look at all the different ones Filmora 11 has. So, for a quick example here, if I was dragging one like this right here, or yeah, let's stay with this one, the first one. I could drag it down over top because it's transparent, so anywhere that it's see through around, it's go

nna be transparent. So, if I hit my space bar, I have my title here, and I can quickly change what I want it to say in here. So, if I double click on it, notice I get some more options, so I can click which one I want to change, if this is the title, I'll just type animals here, like so, I better spell it correctly. And then down below, I'm just gonna say that, I'll put Filmora 11, so very easy to change. And you can see, I can change my font, I can change bold where it's gonna be aligned all th

e way through here. If I go down, I have even text color in the settings, text space, the alignment. So, take a look at all the different options that you have where you want this to be positioned, because I can actually even go and move this around here by just clicking and grabbing. And when it does that, it changes the position on it. So if I hit okay, let's see what we have for my title now. I just can go back, and I have this title that was simply added by dragging and dropping over top of

it. Now, you can take a look at the different ones from lower thirds to subtitles, I won't go through them all, but they all work very similar. Just drag it onto whether you want it on the same track or on top, it's gonna be transparent, making sure if it's transparent, it won't be white, you'll just see the picture behind it in the example here. Now, earlier on in the video, I did talk about stock media, about Pixabay, and I wanna point out at this point here, and I'm not gonna dive a lot into

it, but now Filmora 11 offers stock media in here, and you can see Pixabay right here. I was downloading to show the purpose of importing, but you can actually get a lot of the same videos I did. So, if I type animals here, you can see some of the videos that we were using. And at this point, I could just go to a certain video that I wanted and drag it right down into- It downloads and then I can tell it to match the settings if I want. So, if I go, keep it to this one, and now I have this new c

lip that I can go ahead and put in added to it. So if my music's not long enough, remember, I can just stretch out my music to add it to the clips after. But take a look at the different stock media that they have between Unsplash here, if you wanted some images, the GIPHYs right through here, so I do wanna point out that. And we do have audio here if you wanted any of the sound effects, or different ones, or different audio, you can drag these down into the audio tracks as well. So, I want to p

oint out a couple other things here when we put a certain video in, so I'm gonna take the peacock here, drag it down into my track, and I'm gonna just trim it down. So, remember the different ways we could trim, but since I have it like this, I'll just drag it. So, I have this peacock just like this. Maybe I'll make my music a little longer just to adjust the end here. Now, let's say I wanted to zoom up on this peacock, I already showed you the one way that you could do it, but now with the clip

already in the right aspect here, I can use the crop. So, if I select this right here, look at the crop tool. So, if I select this now, I'll get another window that opens up. I can adjust what I want it to focus on. So, if I go to this point right here, I could hit play to see the preview now. I could go ahead and change the aspect ratio at this part. I'm gonna hit okay, and now I just drag back my play head a little bit and I'll just hit play, and now you can see how it zoomed up. If you had a

poor quality video and you zoomed up or cropped it, it could become a little bit pixelated if it wasn't a high enough quality. So, that's using the crop tool here. Very quick to use in Filmora 11. Now, the other tool I wanted to show you was, how do you speed up or slow down a clip. If I go take this bird one right here and drag it down. If I wanted it to speed up or slow down, I select the clip, and look at this, I have speed right here, so if I select this, I could make it go slow. If I wante

d to make it go slow, I would just choose one of these, or if I wanted it to go fast, you can see how it goes in the multiples. I have Freeze Frame and Normal also. But let's slow this down to here, and the clip just got a lot longer, you can see, because now it's in slow motion. Drag back my play head and I'll hit play, and here comes the bird and it's gonna be in slow motion here, as it goes through. So, if you wanted to add that effect to it, just make sure you got the clip selected and then

go to speed, and then you can adjust it. Then you can still go through and edit and add this to your video if you wanted to, and do all the same things and trim it down. And we'll add our music here, and I'll just drag it a little bit past here, and then I can go, and you'll see that the slow motion is still gonna be there as the bird flies in. So, I cut it off a little bit too much, I can just make it a little bit longer by dragging. So, those are two more important features I wanted to show yo

u how to do in Filmora. So, I have a few more things what I wanna show you in Filmora 11, and the first thing's gonna be to use picture-in-picture. So, what I mean by this is I'm gonna just go to my stock media from the Pixabay one and I'm gonna grab something to show you. So, let's grab these chickens right here, and I'm just gonna drag this down and place it in my track. So, I have these chickens now, and at this point, what I wanna do is drag another, it could be a picture, it could be anothe

r video, and I'm gonna grab another video, we'll grab this one. and place it right on top. So, remember what I said earlier on, if you put one on top of the other, all you're gonna see is the top one. Now, based on what I showed you before with transform, if I double click on this top one and scale this here, and I can move it to where I want to, and I could grab it and place it where I want to, and I can go ahead now, play it. I have two videos playing at once. I could add more tracks, and more

tracks, and more tracks, doing more than just one. So, if you wanted to add more, go over here and you can see, if I hit Manage Tracks, I could add more video tracks and I could add another video here. If they're not being used, you can just right click and delete the empty tracks too. So, that was picture in a picture, very easy to use. The other thing I wanted to point out, maybe you wanted it to be transparent. So, if I take a clip like this and I'll go back to the properties of it, under Ba

sic, I'm gonna scale this up a little bit larger and move it back to the middle. I'm gonna go down here now and make sure that this is open, and you can see the opacity is right here. So now, if I bring this down, I can make it as- If I bring it all the way down you won't be able to see it, but if I bring it up like this, you can see now, it's kinda transparent through it. So, just a couple things I just wanted you just to know how to do with Filmora 11, with picture-in-picture or the transparen

cy. I'm gonna go ahead and just delete these 'cause that was just for a demo. Now, let's move on to some of the effects and the elements up here, and this will work very similar to what I showed you before with the transitions or titles. Everything's gonna be drag and drop. So, with any of these, if you take a look at the effects, if I go to Willow here, I'll go to move my play head over here, so we're at this point. If I go and I drag this onto the clip that I want to deploy it to, just like th

at, and then the effects are added. So, I could go through, find the different ones. So, you can see there's even image masking, and I'm gonna show you a different way right after. If I take this and drag and drop, I have a mask on this. With any of these, if I go and double click the clip here, I'm gonna zoom up a little bit and I'm gonna double click on it, you can see, I still have my transform and scale that I can change on it, like I was showing you before. And what I was gonna show is the

effect that I added is right there. So, I have this circle selected, but if I wanted a different one, you can see, I can just select. So, maybe now it's a teardrop, or going back like that. So, you can mask and then change. Look under the effects that you've added and you can still change for it. So I'm gonna hit okay. I do wanna point out, and I'm gonna go to a different video to show you, so in this case, if I double click, look, we have mask right here, so you can go ahead and add a mask this

way to any of the images. So, if you're doing picture in a picture, if I go back to my other example, if you were placing one over top of the other, you can see now that the mask in the background is showing there because this part is transparent. So, that's just a little bit about using the effects and masking on it. And then, when you have elements with any of these here, it works the same way. You can drag something down on top and it adds it to it. So, you can see now, I have this arrow tha

t will be here, and I can go ahead and as soon as I double click on this, notice, I get the handles and I can start changing the size of this and rotating it if I wanted it to point at a certain spot on it. So, all these things are really easy to manage. And if you don't want any of these, you can hit delete and take them off. Remember, you can undo any of your other steps that you've done before, with the undo too. And remember to keep saving so you make sure you don't lose anything. All right,

so before we export our finished project here, I wanna show you one more thing and that is the split screen. One feature I really, really like about in Filmora is the split screen option, and they make it super easy to use and one of the best looking ones, I think, of all the different video editors. So, if we look up top here at Split Screen, so I'm just gonna select this. We have some different options that we can choose for the layout. Same thing, you need to download them first. I'm gonna c

hoose this split screen here and just drag it to this point. And at this time, I just have to drag the video in. I'm gonna hit okay here. I'm gonna go to my stock media and I'm just gonna use these as an example, I'll drag some of these in. So, if I drag this bird over and just drop it, you can see it's placed in. It's not in the right spot, but I can move it around. And if it starts to show the edge like this, I can increase the size of it, just like I've showed you with the scaling before. So,

I'm gonna hit okay and I'm just gonna go through and just place some of these images in here, and then just making sure, I think that should do the trick here. I'm gonna hit okay and I'm just gonna choose a couple more here, and I'll choose the parrot at this point here. And I'm gonna just move the bird down a little bit more, and we need one more for an example here, we'll choose the bug here. So, I'm gonna download it and just drag it over in here, place it where I want and hit okay. Remember

, a lot of times there's advanced features on these. I haven't gone into the advanced, I'll do different videos about those, but I just wanted to point out that you can go further into the editing on it. So, I'm gonna go just back, let's see what we have here. (gentle music) - So just like that I was able to add all those split screens in. If you go back, double click on it, you're gonna get the different options where you can go through if you needed to modify any of these two. So, super easy t

o use. I'm gonna shorten up my music here a bit. And now, there's certain things that I showed you, this was a beginner's tutorial and I just wanted to make sure that you understood the basics of video editing and what Filmora 11 could do. There's still a lot more that it can do and I'll make different videos on this. But let's say, we're done now and I have this video where I've put transitions, I have titles, I've added effects, I've added split screen, I've cropped different videos, and I've

adjusted my music with fade in, fade out, I can hit the export here. So, if I hit the export, I'm gonna get the options. So, I've called this Animals, and that's fine with me, that will work, and I'm at 1920x1080 P, so I'll keep that. Everything is what I want it to be. Now, I wanna point out, you can choose different exports on here, so I'm gonna keep this as MP4, but we could choose a device where this is gonna be, is it an iPad or Apple TV? Do you want to connect to YouTube? So if you did thi

s, you could log into YouTube and then it would export directly, put your video there. Or you can see, we have Vimeo or DVD. So in my example here, I'm gonna do a local one here and I'm saving it back. Where do I want it to save? Well, let's just put this back in my desktop. I'm gonna put it in the same folder that I put all my other stuff in, for Filmora 11. And I'm gonna go ahead, I'm not gonna upload this to the Cloud, I am gonna hit export on this. And so, at this point, it's exporting this

video. It's not gonna take very long when it goes through 'cause this wasn't a super long video, it was only about 30 seconds. So, when this is all done, you are gonna see a video inside this Filmora 11 media file here, and I'm gonna go ahead and open this up, 'cause it's gonna be done. I can hit open folder here and it's gonna be right here. So, at this point, I can double click, open up, here is my finished video that I have, that I've put together with all the different things, the transition

s on it. You could take that video also, from here, you could email it to somebody if you wanted to, or you could upload that to YouTube. So, I hoped you like this tutorial on Filmora 11. It's a great beginner's video editor to use, everything works very, very similar, a lot of drag and drop. Like I said, it can still do more. Thanks for watching this week on Teachers Tech. Let me know what you wanna find out with other tech. I'll see you next time with more tech tips and tutorials.
