Technical tutorials 1

To make sure I know exactly how I will film and edit my video, I have looked up a few YouTube tutorials to refresh myself. Here are some of the things that I refamiliarised myself with using this video:

  • Create different bins to store your footage within the software.
  • Label your footage so you can colour-code your work.
  • Apply colour-grading to the original clip in your footage library, that way you don't have to 'paste attributes' to each individual clip.
  • Edit the colours of specific clips using the 'Master' tab in the 'Effect controls' of your video.
  • Apply effects to an adjustment layer within your timeline so you don't have to edit each clip.
  • Press the 'A' button on your keyboard, two arrows will pop up, select a clip - everything that comes after the clip in the timeline will be selected. This is a good way of selecting all of your clips without having to drag your mouse over every file.
  • Hold 'Command' when dragging a clip into your timeline to move everything already in the timeline to the right. Basically a way of putting a clip into your timeline without dragging everything out and then putting your clip in. 
  • You can 'lock' the layers in your timeline to keep them from being edited.
