BigT's Video Editing Ideas & Tips

First thing you need is a good camera.
My new phone has a damn good camera 
and shoots front and back.

Use the screen as a monitor using the back
camera lens and do a practice pose to make
sure you are in frame.

Secondly, Give yourself cues in your video.
Point at the camera and using your fingers
count 3-2-1 Action.....Then pause for the count 
of 3 then do your video.

You need to give yourself time for your video
editor...it makes it easier to do exact slicing
of the video.

If your doing a long shot,give yourself cues in 
video for things like stepping away from the cam
then cue yourself back in and always wait 3 
seconds before starting.

Those tips will help you in editing.

Always come up with your own material and
be as original as possible.

Use your cam very often,doing individual shots
and sequenced shots....Crack an egg on the edge
of your mixer bowl....great shot.

It's all up to you really and being creative 
with shots are keys to a great video.

With open shot you can overlap a track
for a simple transition.

The scissors icon once pressed will cut your
clip then press again to put it away.

Intros and outros are great ways to start 
and end a video.
