Imovie Tips And Tricks 2020
Tips and ticks abound on the internet on how to best edit your videos on iMovie by adding in background music, transitions, text, and more. Below are some tips on how to use iMovie's editing abilities to make your videos look professional and polished.
Special effects aren't always the answer. Special effects, such as excessive transitions, can be distracting. If you are creating a video, you most likely want viewers to pay attention to what you are saying, not focusing on add-ons. Keep the special effects to a minimum to keep your movie looking polished.
Avoid the distracting titles. Much like special effects, title text can also be distracting. If you add in text such as subtitles, additional information, or information about who is speaking, keep the text to the lower third of the screen. Titles and lower third text are there to supplement what you are saying. Design and lay it out like a professionally edited television newscast program.
Turn the background music down - way down. When adding in background music, go a little quieter that you think it should be. Err on the side of too little rather than too much.
Deal with the background noise. No matter how careful you are when recording a video, background noise will always find a way to disrupt part of the audio. Use the 'reduce background noise' function to make the audio quality much better. You can choose how strong you want the reduction to be based on a percentage, allowing you to edit like a pro.
Stay away from the elaborate transitions. Transition effects are fun to play with, but a lot of the time they make your final product look less than professional and polished. Keep it simple and keep moving forward.
Zoom in by using the cropping tool. Ken Burns perfected the pan-and-zoom technique, and while tempting to add into a video, this technique works best with still photographs. To create a video zoom in, click on the clip where you want to zoom in and then click the crop button. From there you can select 'crop to fill' and click and drag the crop square. Keep in mind that the higher your video's resolution the better the zoom with look.
Reduce your video's shakiness by using the 'analyze video' feature. Select 'stabilization and people' to make it seem like you used stabilizing equipment to shoot your video.
