SC-S26W1/Video Editing, Getting Started

Hi friends, it's a pleasure to participate in this season's Steemit challenge. This is one of the interesting Steemit challenge this season although I had to learn to get the interpretation of the language used.

A few months ago, I had the interest of learning video editing because I wanted going into content creation. I have a friend who is really good at editing of videos, I asked she could help me and she agreed but she never had the chance to but I was so eager to learn. Because I was eager to learn, I had to download the capcut app and started learning by myself. At first , I made a lot of mistakes, it was exhausting but I was excited that I could import the video.

To be sincere, this is my first time of learning editing from anyone. Our teacher has done a very great job. To begin my editing, I had capcut app downloaded some months ago on my phone.

Task: Creation of a video from two clips.

Step 1: I opened my capcut since I had it downloaded in my phone. I clicked on "New Project." From there, it showed me different videos and I selected the first video.

The video is my son's school graduation party and, the first video was a time where parents were asked to dance with their children (graduands).

Step 2: After that, I clicked on the plus sign at the end of the video and it took me back to my gallery and I selected the second video which was the time the graduands came back for their song presentation.

Step 3: Setting the screen frame(Ratio)

I pressed "Aspect Ratio," from there, I selected the landscape size which is 16:9

Step 4: To edit the video to make it short

I clicked on edit and it showed me different options. I proceeded to click on split.

From there, I clicked on the splited part to highlight it and then clicked on delete to delete that part off the video. The part I highlighted and clicked delete is the part I don't need in the video.

I used the same method to remove capcut ending as well.

Step 5: Adding overlay

I clicked on the overlay on the screen and it took me to my gallery again.

There I selected the Steemit logo that was download already.

It appeared very large and so, I used my finger to adjust it to a smaller size where I shifted to the corner of the video. Since it was just at a spot, I also used my finger to drag the overlay logo to cover the whole video.

Step 5: When I had finished the editing videos, I exported it.
