Liz's adventures in video editing with ZERO BACKGROUND WHATSOEVER
Today's adventures in learning how to edit videos:
I imported some of my own phone camera videos into Lightworks and have been playing around with them, in addition to watching more tutorials.
Thus far, I have figured out how to make text crawl up over the screen, which apparently is called a roll rather than a crawl? Or at least Lightworks uses "crawl" for text that marches in a single line across the screen from right to left, whereas a roll goes across the screen from bottom to top.
That is useful for video titles!
The problem is that while I can fuck around with the font, the size, the spacing, the color, and various other text effects, I can't find a way to adjust the speed of the roll/crawl, and the default is P A I N F U L L Y S L O W. *headdesk*
I think I need to make Lawyer man put his title sequences onto a USB drive and hand that to me (and/or put them on the shared office drive) so I can just muck around with those instead of trying to create something from scratch. I should probably also get Miss California's into and outro sequences. We do want to create a unified "feel" for all our company virtual tour videos, after all.
I've also managed to do something with grouping and un-grouping audio tracks, but I can't tell what's on which track and I'm not sure I can adjust their volume independently? Maybe some of the other tutorial videos will explain that. If you want to comment on this post, you can do so over here on Dreamwidth, where there are currently (
