Editing Order of Operations

1. Drag your clips in2. Trim your clips3. Add titles

– Add a Title at the beginning of the movie– Add a title at the end of the movie (credits)

4. Then, apply effects5. Finally, use transitions between clips

• Note: professional projects use VERY FEW transitions

6. Add sounds/music last– Do you need to record any narration?– Do you need to lay any sound clips or music?

7. Export when done to CD-ROM quality1. CD-ROM quality is good for uploading to YouTube or

TeacherTube
