This helps bring some more customization to the film! I recommend you have ONE folder on your computer (or hard drive) where you keep all of your overlays so they’re easy to find and consistent. Once I’ve gone through and edited all of the things I’ve said (or not!), I want to add music, overlays, and pop ups to my video. That’s a SUPER quick way to knock that out. Or, you can hit “R” and hold it down, dragging your mouse over what you want to delete. You can then split it again where it ends, then delete that little section. So I want to remove those right away! You can drag your mouse over where you want to delete and hit “command B” and that will split the clip. When there’s the “squiggly” line, that means I’m talking. You can easily see below your video clip the audio file. The next thing I like to do right away is to remove any spot where I’m not talking. Honestly, I like to do this before I edit any clips out otherwise you’ll have to copy and paste these settings on each clip (which isn’t difficult, but annoying to do!). I always bump mine up a little bit because DSLRs will often remove some of the coloring. On the right hand side, I like to bring up exposure and shadows up a little bit! Then, the saturation is the other one I used. If you hit “color balance”, you can adjust the exposure and white balance for your video. The main ones I use are color balance and cropping. You can adjust the crop, exposure, and so on here. If you want to edit the white balance or color grade on your video, do that first! Click on a clip – it should be highlighted in yellow. You can hit “command +” or “command -” to zoom in and out, just a little trick for you! Adjusting white balance When you drag and drop them, you’ll see they appear at the bottom of your screen. So it’s super easy to open up the folder and drag everything I want to use onto the timeline. My favorite way to do this is to drag and drop! I keep a folder with each of my clips for a video on my computer. When you create a new library, import your video footage first.
At that point, you can add it to the same library that any media and video footage is for that specific film. Then select “create new” to make a new movie. In the top center of your screen, and select “projects”, you’ll make a new movie. Next, in order to actually make a new video, you’ll have to create a new project. Go to “File” and select “open library” then “new”. In the tutorial, I’m using my Macbook Pro, but iMovie is available on any Apple computer! I always create a new library where I can add all of my media (slides, photos, and video content) for a specific YouTube video. To start, open iMovie on your Apple computer.
