I'm also going to add a black shadow to my text this allows my text to stand out and allows the viewer to easily read it alright up next music music is important for videos because it creates a rhythm for Clips emphasizes the overall story and it can help craft a wide range of emotional responses from audience depending on the music for example if we take this clip here it looks like an innocent dancing cat [Music] however if you were to change the music to this now the cat looks hey Mark how did you just use would I lie to you by David Guetta without being copyright claimed all the songs I use in my videos keep getting copyrighted well my friend let me introduce you to a little secret of mine lit slicked allows creators to play popular mainstream music in their content and the best part is you can still monetize your video on top of their collection of mainstream music like also has a giant collection of stop music like there's over one million tracks that you can use for your content ranging from baby no money all the way to a personal favorite of mine astronaut in the ocean by mashed wolf what you know about rolling down all we have to do is search for the track that we wish to use in the video either by using the search bar or you can select what category of music you're after then add the song to your basket and go to checkout clicked also has a vast range of sound effects that you can use in your videos varying from stings to Comedy sounds and even Ambience music nice sign up to link to my link in the description for 14 days free stock music and 50 sent off your first mainstream chapter now once we have dragged in the music we wish to use we need to make sure that the audio level is at an appropriate range if the music is too loud or too quiet then we can either click on the track and decrease the level up an effect controls or we can right click on the audio navigate to Audio gain and either reduce or increase the gain depending on the volume you want the same goes to sound effects simply dragging the sound effect change the volume by pressing G on the sound to make sure the audio stays in the green range of the audio meter also make sure to click save like every five seconds you can thank me later nice now let's recap we inserted our clips and cut them down we added a nice text to our videos and we've added music and sound effects now let's add some zooms to our video zooms are great to use especially in gaming videos as it highlights important parts of the clip to the viewer what's the password to your Minecraft account now there are many ways you can add a zoom to your video but I'm going to show you how I usually do it which you've seen like 30 times already in this video 31 times first go to the clip in which you wish to zoom then under effect controls click the stopwatch for scale and position then go forward five frames by using the arrow keys on your keyboard and increase the scale and change the X and Y axis of the position so that the area you want to zoom in is in the middle of the screen then feel free to add your own whoosh sound effect to your video watch this nice I should also mention that if you're ever looking for sound effects or green screens to use in your video you should check out my Discord where we have dedicated channels for editing resources and sound effects you can also Network and collab with like-minded creators and also get a warm welcome from your boy Yours Truly up next transitions transitions are added at the beginning or the end of a clip or sound to create a smooth succulent looking video a Premiere Pro has loads of built-in Bulls now Premiere Pro has loads of built-in transitions that you can simply drag onto your clips now I do recommend experiment with the Transitions and see which ones work with your video just remember to not overdo it a simple cut to the next clip can be all you need the same goes with audio transitions if you have it one song that leads straight to another you can use an audio Crossfade to make a smooth transition you can also fade in a song or sound effect by going to effect controls again setting the audio to the lowest option skipping forward a couple frames and changing the level to zero decibels I use this in almost all my sound effects and music which helps create that smooth transition yeah you see what I mean doesn't that sound smooth up next exporting your video now that we have finished our video congrats by the way we can now export it to export simply click on the export at the top name your file select the location you want to export to make sure the format is in h.264 and change the frame size and frame rate to whatever you're looking for I do recommend full HD which is 1920x1080 and 60 frames a second however because I am an absolute unit I'm going to export this current video in 4k much better than the 480p I used to export just when I was a little wee boy make sure you select the areas you want to export using this mini timeline here open this drop down box here and select scale to fit then click on export do you remember that like most things the more time you put into editing the faster and more confident you will be if you want to show people your first edit reel feel free to promote it in my self-promote channel where other people can provide feedback now
