Poussin your tutorial is great!!
I did a a 20-second clip it’s actually a 4 minute clip because I added a song, I just put a couple of video clips at the start of the song. I did everything with the titles and all. It was really fun!
Thank you so much. I'm glad you find it helpful, and that you had that much fun. I'm enjoying too making videos.
I don't quite well understand the ‘cutting’ stuff.
Say I wanted to cut a certain scene in the middle of the vid and cut it long enough to what I needed. Is this where I need apps like FairUse? Because I tried it and I press the 'cut' icon like what you said in your tutorial. I cut in the middle and I wanted to just have some few seconds from the vid when I clicked play and it played from the middle (where I had cut it) then all the way to the end. Does my question make any sense?
Yes, your question made sense. I actually maybe went a little too quickly explaining the cuting stuff. I'll do a little new tutorial to extend a little the explanation about that.
But I can already explain to you why it played from the middle, where you cut it. When you cut a scene in two clips, you have two clips in the storyboard area where before you had only one. It's the second one that is selected by default. So, if you press play, it plays the second one. You have to erase the part of the clips you don't want from the storyboard line, once you cut it, and then, you play the entire timeline to see the results.
I'll put theses explanations in pictures later today or tomorrow, if I don't have time today, for you to understand better what I'm saying.
And one more thing. Lets say I wanted to put dialogues in the middle of my music video.
Like for example in the middle of the video I wanted the music cut and in where a scene say, Clark saying something to Lois. After this clip the music then continues. Or maybe right at the very start of the music video the dialogue comes in and the music plays after. Is this possible using WMM?
I'll explain that too in my upcoming tutorial.
Oh and another question, sorry! I have videos saved on my hard drive can I also make clips using either FairUse or WMM?
I'm not sure I understand what your question is but FairUse isn't to make video music. It's just to ripp the DVD to have the clips on your computer. If you already have the clips on your computer, you don't need FairUse. That's a free software. To have it, you just need to download it. It's available here:
