🎬 OpenShot Video Editor: Beginners Tutorial

[@debbieesposito7766]

Thanks! I downloaded this software for work ( I make educational videos). Your tutorial was very basic and contained just enough information to get me started. I'll definitely come back when I'm ready to go deeper.

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

Thank you! I am really glad to hear it was helpful for your work :)

[@aviationandbeyond]

Precise as I expected for the person like me. Thanks a lot.

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

Thank you!

[@STOffice2-r7o]

I am going to give this a go, at a beginner's level, I have tested the MS one, but it doesn't work offline. So, let's see how I get on with this one.

[@TheStanford01]

I struggled at first to get the same layout as is shown here. At the very top of the screen, along with FILE etc, is the VIEW option. From here you can select SIMPLE VIEW. It is hidden at the start of this tutorial but can be seen after 1 minute 40 secs. Apart from that it was most helpful.

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

Really? I remember using just the default view :(

[@davidmackie8552]

Thankyou. That was very useful!

[@froman1960]

As a beginner who's didn't even know about this software, your tutorial lost me. Lucky for me I did find another one that was more to the point and simpler.

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

Glad you found one that worked for you!

I used to be able to use Open Shot easily but can't recall now because I am rusty from not using it all the time. However, my pc was 8 Gig of ram. I therefore realized quickly the latest update would crash. I put in a older version from 2019. I upgraded it to 16 Gig. That was the minimum for the newer version. All that said. As of today did not upgraded to newest Open Shot version yet. And this video is around a year old per the timestamp. So let's see how this goes. I think what I did to install a older version was go to the programs website and hunt down a list of older versions. They were unable to be downloaded from the website. Therefore I searched them and found a site housing old versions and downloaded. I also am not able to upgrade this pc to Windows 11. We were all hosed on that to an extent. But everybody has a different situation. When I bought the computer in 2019 it was unknown the specs needed for Windows 11. It turned out my chipset is wrong model and not on the upgradable models and it needs some other tweaks to work.. Yes you can force it on but no I am not going to do it. I just got the PC serviced when it crashed in a power failure and they went ahead and moved it up to 16 gigs of Ram. Technology changed too fast so when I bought this Dell Optiflex computer the store said it was a good buy. But now it is lagging a little. Thus I bought a laptop that upgraded to Windows 11. I needed it because the older one was accidentially erased and formatted and now cannot turn on and decided not to mess with it. Long story short and to finish up. Let's see how this Openshot tutorial goes. While the laptop was upgraded to Windows 11. It also only had 8 GB of ram which I never noticed until I understood that it is no longer fast enough. But so be it. Plus the laptop is 1 TB which is decent. But destop is 2 TB. I will say that right now after spending a lot I am done with PCs. I have invested in some external drives and usb sticks to move files. The laptop itself crashed in 2021 but got free service from Dell. but it costs over 50 dollars to maintain warranty. Which expired on this desktop PC and was never serviceable by Dell due to it having been refurbished by the store. I now understand what gigs of memory do and what a refurbished computer does to getting the manufacturer to service it for free. I just need to splice three clips together and make a file.

[@filippoaltamura6209]

Quick question: How do I zoom or de-zoom only parts of the video and not all the video? Thanks

What video editor accommodates my need to ANNOTATE? My videos are short and intructional, and I like to insert ARROWS (various) and some bold text.

[@belgamrazenaless5535]

Thanks Edward that was very helpful , though I am noticing that this editor sometimes has a glitch , coz the video sound and image stops! I also have 2 questions : how long is the duration time on the timeline ? How can you make a short video to last for longer period of time ? Let's say 5 min video to last 30 min ? Thanks

[@Species710]

I realize this is an old video and my question may not be answer but; I want to put a dust and scratches video over the overall video (videos clips within the video). Is that possible with OpenShot?

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

yes, just drop it on another video track on top of the main video track

[@hopecarter4107]

Great video! I am new to this and the one thing I don't understand is what the green guides/resizing options are for on the right side, preview panel? I always import my videos and then edit them. Do they correspond to the video profiles? Thank you!!

[@vina4672]

Great video it was very helpfull, thanks a ton

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

Excellent, efficient tutorial.

[@rahulbharadwaj8754]

Can't find the crop tool in properties,wish i could send a screenshot

[@AhmadSabour]

How do I manage multiple long clips in OpenShop? When I continue to add clips, some of the shorter clips I used initially begin to shrink. If continue adding new clips I will start to lose my work from the left side. Obviously, I am doing something wrong. How do I avoid this problem?

[@MNM14ful]

First, let me say thank you for this very informative tutorial. I downloaded OpenShot, but when I open it, I can only see one track at a time at the bottom. I noticed that you opened multiple tracks at the same time. Do you have any idea why I can open only one? I am using Windows 10.

[@johngallagher912]

All I wanted to see was how to bring multiple files into openshop and then append each of them after each other without a blank in between and without loosing video in between.

[@MasculinePrimeYT]

Interesting, thanks for explaining. ✌🏾

[@wokthisway1991]

i cant work ouit how to trim the black ending (long black exess) anyone? ty!

[@joselynignacio1041]

Hi! I downloaded the software but when I edit video, I couldn't add videos or images. I can add one if I close the app first then relaunch it. What is the probable reason behind this?

[@RealUgochukwu_Obioha]

For this delete it and make sure you Download the lastest version which must be compatible with your computer's window version (7,8 or 10) or iOs 14 etc. this should work 💪

[@chandrapur1009]

Nice 👍

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

Thanks ✌

[@ghodsrar1]

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

I've got the default layout

helpful! video!

Glad you think so!

[@TechVibesWithMichael]

Why is my openshot playing in milisecond when i test my video

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

doesn't show seconds at all?

[@fredmunson8952]

Why is my video in the video viewer jerky motion.

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

Preview in most video editing software can look a little rough as it's hard to process all of that in real time. So sometimes they do 1/2 or 1/4 of quality and it might still lag

[@TechMindMingle]

Hindi me milega

[@gregoryeditor6500]

Way to complicated, Windows Movie Maker and Winnows 10 Video Editor are so much to do this. The only thing easy about overshot is picture in picture. Drag and drop sucks and so does the time lines or story board. 44 likes for your video now

[@MNM14ful]

I wholeheartedly agree with you, Windows Movie Make is the best thing since sliced bread! I absolutely love it. It's so much easier to learn and use. It's a shame Microsoft decided to stop supporting WMM. I still use my WMM, but haven't found a way to delete my recent projects list from it.. There used to be a way when Microsoft support it. The only thing I don't like about Video Editor is the fact that you can't insert transitions.

[@RealUgochukwu_Obioha]

Incredibly powerful tutorial and simple .... I'm making my own tutorial soonest.... But pls I'm upcoming KZbinr @eduard which camera and webcam do you recommend?

[@MNM14ful]

I downloaded the OpenShot software, but when I open it, I can only see one track at a time at the bottom. Do you have any idea why I can't open multiple tracks at tje same time as shown in the tutorial? I am using Windows 10.

[@RealUgochukwu_Obioha]

@@MNM14ful you simply open more tracks by importing more project in your dashboard files up 5 tracks. ..

[@MNM14ful]

@@RealUgochukwu_Obioha Thanks for replying. I'll give that a try.
