[@DougHewsonYT]

Dropping a big THANKS! (and testing the Super Thanks feature!)

[@PrimalVideo]

You're welcome - congratulations! Thanks so much for the Super Thanks!

[@SahilThakur-bt2xc]

Hey Justin, I am very grateful of the work you are doing. But as you have mentioned kdenlive video editing Software in your Videos, i am really impressed with this one. So can you please make a full tutorial covering everything of it as soon as possible. Thanks for everything you are providing here.

[@spyderthread]

I'm just getting started with Openshot. This is exactly what I needed, thank you!

[@PrimalVideo]

Cool - good luck with your edits! 👍

[@JimNichols]

I wish to thank you for the time it takes to research, conceptualize, create, edit and UL these. I just started using OpenShot and it is so difficult for me to adjust to the video not being in the slider bar area like in iMovie, it is exactly the same but the video is in a different location... small details never seemed to matter at all lol.

[@user-Calrulk55]

As someone who is trying to make some just for fun this was great tutorial and helped alot.

[@PrimalVideo]

Awesome, so glad it helped 😊 - Hazel, PV Team

*this guy literally makes the most useful video*

[@PrimalVideo]

Thanks - glad you find it useful 😊

[@halcyonmelancholy2711]

Wow, major nostalgia! I used to edit my videos on OpenShot back when I was using Windows. It served me extremely well, and I actually do miss using it lol-but VN Video Editor (my current video editor on my iPad laptop hybrid) is also excellent!

[@PrimalVideo]

Nice!

[@RandomFandomOfficial]

I love Lumafusion.

[@walkerandcolten8317]

I also use VN video editor on my iPad too

Wow, this is great. I'm ready to start my KZbin channel, now that I know how to edit videos. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@PrimalVideo]

You're welcome - good luck with your edits! 😊

[@middleearthians5661]

thanks for the awesome tutorial, I just started using this program today, my one question I have is, can you do the fade effect from one track at the bottom that fades out then fades into another track above it? hope that question makes sense

[@froman1960]

Great Job. To the point on what I needed to clip a small section of a video. Bravo.

[@PrimalVideo]

Thanks, glad you liked it 👍 - Hazel, PV Team

[@blossomtv4020]

Thank you a lot for this video!!! I have an issue with my preview. It plays the video very slow unlike yours which plays normally. What do you recommend that I do?

[@cooltrainergorgie5805]

if you haven't fixed the issue as yet, try temporarily adjusting your profile settings for preview to a lower resolution

[@Jarjar-X]

Thanks for the video, man. I haven’t tried anything yet since I’m writing this currently in night time, but has anything aged? If not, thank you very much for the video, forever grateful to you.

[@byjelform]

Hi! I'm a total beginner and just about to start my youtube channel. I love your step by step instructions, it's really easy to follow, thanks! But I've got a problem; I can insert the video (from my Samsung s23) but I cannot bring the sound. The video with sounds works on my phone, and I can see the waves of it in the program, but I can't hear it. Do I have to do something special with the film before I can bring it into the program? I've got a PC by the way. Thanks/ Jeanette

[@MerlinZener]

At 4:53 I'm following along and trying to do what you're doing. I've got Open Shot open on the other screen. But it's not working at all. My cursor doesn't change to a two arrows like you say. It's not a four arrow shape like you're showing, it's a hand. How do you change it so can do those things you're saying??? Later on at 7:41 you show a right click menu with 'slice' in it. But when I do it on my computer, there's no 'slice' option in the list. So frustrating. This is meant to be a beginners video but you don't show how to get to those functions you're talking about.

[@desiphool]

Excellent, thank you for this. Easy to follow up and enough info to edit videos

[@PrimalVideo]

Much appreciated - good luck with your edits! 👍

Is there a way to drop a clip in the middle of timeline without erasing what's already there? In other words, adding something to the timeline so that everything after the new video just moves over to the right. Is that clear?

Thank you brother

Can somebody help me i downloaded open shot recently but when i open a vid or photo or anything it just shows a link so i can't add it to the timeline

[@mdsajad6006]

Would you recommed watermark free video editing

[@ReallifeBambiDeerattheFarm1]

I'm new to this program, but I've noticed that when I import several videos direct to the timeline it all clumps together instead of filling out in the desired order making it difficult to edit the video. Is there a way to fix this?

[@ellielim1111]

Ooh thank you so nice tutorial Good job

[@PrimalVideo]

You're welcome - see you in the next video tutorial 👍

[@timcolton4680]

Very Nice Thank You - I work horses - done a couple videos adding sound titles text (even a logo within the video) all good. BUT making a SLIDESHOW video out of say 30-40 .JPG pics proves to be more problematic when trying to add/edit a in the middle or beginning of the timeline. I've gone back and organized the pics in the import folder then imported (adding fades in/out) which helps but working with so many individual clips is heavy, any ideas would be appreciated, Thank You

Justin, do you have a tutorial teaching how to create a spot shadow effect with OpenShot? How do you highlight a person or object in a video to make them stand out? Thank you.

No sorry, we don’t have a tutorial like that

[@98invis]

@@PrimalVideo Hi Justin. Do you know if i can produce a 20-30 minute youtube video using openshot? What is the maximum video length that can be produce with this software?

[@leastidyworld4365]

How do you know how many frames per second etc. your iPhone 12 Pro Max films at?

[@PrimalVideo]

You can choose in your phones settings

[@leastidyworld4365]

@@PrimalVideo 😳🤯 I didn’t know that, thanks. Which one is best to film at, do I just select the higher quality? Does higher quality take up more space?

[@jack5590]

Any chance on shortening a timeline that was extended by dropping a long video into one of the tracks? Let's say you drop a ten minute video and then cut several minutes off, you still have at least a ten minute (or over) timeline bar. It then becomes difficult to zoom in and out of that overextended timeline until you export the video. Currently using the most recent version of OpenShot.

[@mba2ceo]

How to do PIP reduce the size + position of track ?

[@leastidyworld4365]

If you overlay the B roll in track 2 as you did, what does that look like in the finished video? Why did you not have to make space between the footages in track 1 to fit in the B roll footage of track 2 in between? Does it show both footages on top of each other and if so, why would you want that?

[@PrimalVideo]

I didn’t need to make space on the bottom layer as I was using it to overlay the footage on the bottom layer. This way you would still hear the audio from the bottom layer (what i;m saying) but be seeing the overlay footage

[@leastidyworld4365]

@@PrimalVideo Thanks for replying, that sounds good as I don’t think I can do that in iMovie. So does it always default to making audible the audio from the lower track (didn’t you start with track one?)?

I'm having a problem with the timeline when using photos to make a vídeo, it is like in "slow motion" ... 1 second real time takes 5 seconds....where do I change this issue???

[@teddydominguez4935]

What would be helpful, play the video each time you add to project. So we can get a visual of what you are adding. And to play final before exporting. Thank you

[@VitalityMassage]

I just uploaded Open Shot onto my Windows 7 64 bit computer. The playback is slow and no audio. Not sure what the problem is. I have a Samsung ss hard drive and 8 ram.

[@cesarsotogr]

Hello did you ever figure it out I’m in the same boat :(

[@ifell3]

I've tried openshot before and it's better for less powerful specs but always found it clunky compared to resolve. But it's starting to look better!

[@PrimalVideo]

You can give it a try again 😉

[@ahmedjamal2803]

I am learning Openshot video editing by following your tutorial. I completed my first video, and everything was right, the video was completed correctly. The only problem is after I exported, the file got saved not as a video only but with the Openshot editing platform. I expect only the video to be saved. So when I click the file the video with the Openshot platform appears ready for editing again. Please tell, me what mistake I might have made. Your reply will be appreciated with deep gratitude.

Would depend on what videos I’m making.. Ones similar to our youtube videos then I’d go OpenShot for more flexibility and control
