    Welcome to the course! You want to turn your photos and videos into an easy-to-share and eye-catching video that all your friends and family will love.

    I've made over 200 videos using my phone and over 150 of those have been with CyberLink PowerDirector and I will teach you so that you too can make memorable videos. I started with Samsung Galaxy S7 and now I use a Huawei Mate 20X for the larger screen.

    I used the auto-video apps but they always left out key points or didn't emphasize what I wanted. So I wanted a bit more control but I didn't know how to use Final Cut or Adobe After effects, or other pro level software to make videos. Plus, as mobile photography improved, I began shooting all my photos and videos on my phone. I tried several other software including: iMovie, Kinemaster, Samsung editor, and Filmora Go, but the best price/value/utility has come from PowerDirector.


    Power director lets you:

    -multi-track editing

    -cut and edit video

    -stabilize video

    -crop video to zoom in on the action

    -add filters

    -add text with cool animations

    -add transitions

    -add stickers

    -add video and photo overlay, up to 9 tracks, including PiP and chroma key (green screen)

    -speed up and slow down video

    -reverse video

    -pan and zoom photos

    -create cool slideshows

    -edit audio tracks, including music and voice overs

    -export in multiple formats, including 4k

    -export and share directly to social media

    ***some features only available in paid version


    I will show you how to take those amazing snapshots and the special videos you captured and turn them into an easy to share video that everyone will love.

    We will cover all the basics needed to edit properly and go over some advanced editing techniques that will take your videos to the next level. You are really only limited by your creativity. And as your skill increases, you'll want to do more, so I will also briefly cover a few other apps I use to compliment power director. You can use this course and learn what you need to, and then as your editing needs grows and evolve, you can return to the course and check out the advanced techniques and tips.

    I've also included a handy quick reference manual that outlines the all the features and where to find them. But many of the skills you'll learn in this course apply to most linear/timeline video editors. So these skills are transferable if you one day want to work with professional video editing like Final Cut or Avid

    The first video you create might take awhile, but once you finish and start getting compliments and people asking for more videos, you'll want to make more videos. And, the more videos you make, the better you'll get at it and the faster you'll be able to make them. So, let's get started!

Description

They say the best camera is the one you have with you. We record so many videos and take so many photos, but when we want to share them with others, it can be boring and time consuming trying to scroll through and share each one individually. I'll show you how to make one cool video that summarizes that awesome vacation or highlights the best parts of your performance.

Sure, there are apps that do all the editing for you, but those apps don't know how to judge which video or photo is the most important to us. I will show you how to take more control over your edited videos and make visually impressive videos that all your friends will be talking about. Who knows, you might make the next viral video.

This course WILL show you:

  • How to take the cool videos and photos you've taken and turn them into an eye-catching montage.

  • Simple tricks to correct audio and video problems in post-production.

  • Spice up your photos and videos so that they are even more visually pleasing.


This course WON'T show you how to record video or take photos. It is focused solely on video editing.


Who this course is for:

  • You want to take your vacation videos and turn them into an awesome production.
  • You want to create a stunning montage of your children's extra-curricular activities.
  • You want to share your awesome photos and videos on social media.
  • You want your vlog to look good and professional, without investing a fortune in equipment and software.
  • You don't have the time or desire to learn complicated editing software, but you want more control than those auto-editing apps offer.
