Video editing software has been around for many years and for many years only people who were in the movie business or had a large budget could afford to use such software. Even when your average home videographer was able to afford their own video camera, they still had no reasonable way to edit their movies. Now that everyone has a smartphone and considers themselves a professional movie maker, the need to edit their own footage has dramatically increased. Thankfully, Microsoft has a free app built into Windows that allows anyone with a camera and a computer to make some great looking movies. And if you arent running Windows, you can still use Clipchamp from their website to edit your videos.
If you have some basic computer skills and a little creativity, it's not too difficult to create your own movies that will make your viewers think you are a video editing pro. You can even use the footage from your smartphone to create custom videos and add all kinds of fun effects, text and music to your movies.
The goal of this book is to get you up and running with the Clipchamp Video Editor and cover all the things you need to know to get you started on making great looking videos without confusing you at the same time. It sticks with the basics yet covers a wide variety of topics to help you achieve some great looking results without needing to be a movie editing expert.
The chapters in the book cover the following topics:
Chapter 1 - Getting Started
Chapter 2 - Importing Videos Into a New Project
Chapter 3 - Editing Your Videos
