Cut Footage use the razor blade tool or trim off the ends with other tools.
Make Titles and add motion and colorizing effects to make them stand out.
Make Lower Thirds and use the simple title to change the graphics by selecting different font choices to give you very cool graphics quickly.
Audio Techniques from voiceovers to interview footage to a/b roll and unlinking audio from video. Adjust the levels of volume and learn the audio meters and waveforms.
Cropping Effects are used to take out the edges of titles or graphics. Keyframes are added to make these cropping lines move to animate their way to and from the edge of a graphic to its center.
Scaling is used to make things smaller or larger.
Motion can be found under the Effect controls Tab. Use the X and Y coordinates to position the subject. Add the Keyframes to program where it will stop and start.
Opacity determines how much a video or graphic layer will be seen or not seen. Take it down from 100% to 50% and you'll be able to see through it to whatever is on the next video track.
Effect Filters are an easy way to make something happen right away, but how are they used and what can they do are the questions we will answer in this course.
