Need to edit a video but don't know how? Here are the steps you need to know.
Video editing may seem arduous at first for the novice. However, it can be done very easily with the help of specialized tools or software, such as Movavi Video Suite 2024, which is very interesting if you want to have access to more features.
Here are the steps to follow under Windows.
Steps in video editing
1 - Rerouting
First, you need to view your video and select the passages you want to keep.
2 - Import
Next, import or capture the selected sequences into your video editing software.
You have two options:
- import each sequence into the software or editing tool by connecting the camcorder or smartphone to your computer,
- import files from the hard disk of your camcorder or smartphone by connecting it to your PC.
3 - Final editing
Now assemble the imported sequences in the software. You can then animate your montage by adding titles, effects or transitions.
4 - Exporting the final cut
This is the last step. To export the final cut, choose a format such as .avi, .mov, .mp4...
Video editing on Windows
If your computer is running Windows 11 or 10, you can use the video editor included with the operating system.
1 - Start by opening the application and clicking on "New video project". Give your video project a name and confirm.
2 - Select "Add" to choose the location from which you want to add videos or photos.
3 - Drag photos or videos into the Storyboard or Storyboard section below the Project Library. Once you've organized your Storyboard, you can change the appearance of each image or video clip.
