17 Feb G’day Mates! Video Editing Tips for the Rest of Us

So, you’ve got some awesome footage and you’re keen to whip up a killer video. But let’s be honest, fancy editing software can be a bit daunting. Don’t worry, you don’t need to be a Hollywood pro to create a decent video!

Here are a few Aussie-style tips to help you get started:

• Keep it Simple, Mate: Start with the basics. Learn how to trim clips, add simple transitions (like fades and cuts), and adjust the volume. You don’t need to go overboard with fancy effects.
• The Rule of Thirds: This is a classic for a reason. Imagine your screen divided into nine equal parts by two horizontal and two vertical lines. Placing key elements along these lines creates a more visually appealing composition.
• Music is Key: The right soundtrack can make or break your video. Choose upbeat music for energetic clips and something more mellow for slower scenes.
• Don’t Overdo It: Resist the urge to cram every effect you can find into your video. Less is often more. A clean, simple edit is usually the most effective.
• Get Feedback: Show your video to a mate and get their honest opinion. A fresh set of eyes can often spot things you might have missed.
