Can i edit a 20 min duration video here?? In VN.?

How to Blur Some Faces, Number Plates Like Gaussian Blur or Mosaic Blur...?

[@chisom7915]

This is one of the most detailed tutorials I've ever watched. Thanks a lot ❤️

[@MobileFilmmaking]

THANK YOU FOR ACTUALLY SHOWING HOW TO ADD LUTS. I contacted the makers of VN a multitude of times to no avail. Watched every video I could find on VN and just no one explained it correctly. That in itself made this video worth watching but I finally leaned the difference between exposure and brightness as well... so there's that. 👍

[@SiHorrocks]

Yeah it's a bit tricky. I actually didn't know the difference either until I made this video haha

Nice! I just downloaded the app last week to edit one of my KZbin videos.. And here comes a tutorial from one of my favourite Mobile Filmmakers.. Thank you!

[@SiHorrocks]

It's a nice little app ☺

[@DanielLimSantoso]

@@SiHorrocks Yes! Exactly! And it's free! You can render videos up to 4k and there's no watermark.. Which screams perfection..

[@edalbertson6152]

Excellent Simon! Thank you very much. I do have a question if you have a minute. Is there a list or video that shows all of the options that you can use keyframes on? I find that somethings I try to keyframe just changes the entire clip. Thanks again, Ed

[@darajovanovic2714]

The best tutorial!!! Thank you. I only can't save in my own gallery on the phone only in VN.

[@AnandaGarden]

Thanks. Nice that you can choose 21:9 aspect ratio, which is very close to 2.39:1 cinematic. (2.39 * 9 = 21.51)

Hi, Simon This video on how to use VN has really helped me; thanks! I still need help as I now have 7 "projects," which are really segments of the same video. How do I easily consolidate and put them together? THANKS! Tom

How did you edit this tutorial video? Id like to know how you added the green rectangle that occasionally shows to highlight content. Thanks

[@azimages2538]

Great video. As a newcomer this was exactly what I needed

[@zahirkhan7631]

Thanks for the information thanks

[@Oxygenoasishealth]

I was breaking up a larger video into multiple smaller videos. When I delete clips in the front, the later clips move forward… BUT the audio track stays in the same place, and if you delete enough clips, the audio drops off the end and disappears FOREVER. I can’t find a way to lock the audio to the associated video, or alternatively, save my in-VN recorded audio externally from the project so I can easily re-insert the audio. This leaves me stuck moving each little audio clip one-at-a-time, which is a very slow finger-swipe process trying to move something from the back of a 37 minute video to the front of the project. Is there something I’m missing here? It seems like a reasonable feature to be able to lock an audio clip to, say, a key frame location on a video clip.

[@tedr5921]

Same to me. Did anyone find a solution in the meantime? Thanks.

[@mobilefeen5641]

Hi, great video! I keep getting BLUR bars above and below my video project. It only appears when I add an intro video to the front of my project. If I delete the intro video, the blur bars disappear. Do you know why this happens?

[@HollywoodConnection-jast]

can you drop in a 5K (gopro) file into a 1080 timeline and then adjust the scale?

[@SiHorrocks]

yes

[@MrCScontents]

Thanks it was really helpful before i had installed it but didn't knew how to use it so uninstalled it and was and still using VLLO editing app but now i've learnt the different techniques thanks to you, its really a cool app, thumbs up :)

[@MartinHarvey]

Thanks for the "heart" - I meant to add it would be nice to be able to transfer VN projects between platforms - e.g. iPhone to iMac or iPad.

[@TechnoGenuine]

When you export the file does it cut out any audio or few frames from the video? I had this issue from Adobe Rush. Would really help if you could let me know! Using Galaxy S21 Ultra

[@SiHorrocks]

I haven't noticed that

Do you have a video explaining how to put a header & footer on your videos to make them look more professional? Thanks

i guess you should give it a shot to these editors such as Kinemaster, AlightMotion, Node, AndroVid, PowerDirector. These are some powerful editors you can try on mobile phone specially Node that thing is like after effects on mobile

[@rene0511]

Thank you so much for this VN tutorial video, I have learned another new editing app. 👍👌😍

[@Glenda4TravelValdezDbs]

Thank you for full details how to used this video editor most especially for the beginners. May I ask if the music of VN is non copyrighted ? Thanks for your help.

[@SiHorrocks]

It's probably OK but the problem is there's nothing to stop people claiming it as their song. All you can do is try using it and see what KZbin says. You then try counter claiming but it takes time

[@ProSpeedflying]

Thanks for the tutorial! I had a problem editing my gh-5 videos 1080 10bit 100mbit 25fps in the VN editor on my redmi note 7. After colour correction and rendering the video quality becomes really bad with a lot of artifacts. Rendering settings are at max. I tried the same rendering settings in Davinci and the result was much better. Is it normal for the VN or I am doing something wrong? Thanks!

[@barrysimpson9645]

Hi Simon. Great instructional, I learned a lot. Can I ask what might be the cause of a difficulty I’m experiencing? When I’m editing montage to the beat of a music soundtrack, both the video and the music track become quite juddery. It’s impossible to que transitions to the right timing. I suspect lack of processor power. But that didn’t aught to be the case in a brand new galaxy s22 Ultra surely? The longer the video montage, the worse it gets. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, this is incredibly frustrating. Thanks

PLEASE HELP! I am trying to use VN editor. My video is only around 30 mins long in general. Each time I click on "export" I just get a warning saying, the current running available memory is less than 500mb clean up other applications in background or reduce the export resolution before exporting. I am using a Samsung tab A, I close all applications in the background. I only want to use the tablet for the purpose of making my videos. I have no photos stored, I have uninstalled every app possible (except the VN app of course) and I don't keep any of my previous videos, only the video I am making at present. Can you PLEASE tell me why the video doesn't just export, or what I can do to resolve this really frustrating, annoying problem? Many thanks, Richard

[@tupac.s]

I’m using VN Editor since three months. It is a quite good editor for free! It’s a pity that there’s no manual for this app. So your Tutorial is great even if I know the basics of VN. How about a tutorial for intermediate explaining advanced techniques ?

[@AmberSkies.]

Is there a way to export individual clips? I’ve tried to upload to Instagram and their music doesn’t start when the actual audio starts, which throws off my entire project. I thought maybe if there is a way to save each clip, I could upload and time it better there in sync with instagrams music.

[@GilBrown333]

My speed button is non functioning. It has never been illuminated. Can you explain this? I'd also like to use scrolling text. Is there a tutorial for this? Ok...I think that I just figured something out: the speed function only works on videos, and it doesn't work on photos. Attempted several times to zoom in using key frame and curve functions; to no avail. Seems like this editor works when it wants to.

How would you lock in an external voice recording to video footage? I have the footage and audio synced, but as I'm trying to cut out bits of footage, it doesn't also cut the audio and I can't figure it out. :(

[@SiHorrocks]

can't you cut the video, then select the audio and cut the audio?

[@El-nd4it]

@@SiHorrocks yeah, but then I need to realign the audio with the video so it's in sync again, and there are quite a few cuts. Usually with other editing softwares there's an option to link and unlink audio from video, but this is the software I have access to, so I'm trying to figure it out. I also can't seem to rearrange video clips, like it won't let me take the first clip and drag it to the last.

[@aaronfuksa2047]

If you get the error message while exporting....(The format of the %1$dth video is abnormal)... Here is your best method to fix it, no info i could find on net. Game recording 1hr. 20 with 40+ clips, For me it meant there was a bad video file. I deleted sections until I found the bad video & it processed. It was caused by not having correct game speed settings & was a glitchy black "flickering" when a cutseeen video occurred. Re-recording the bad video will not fix it. Either find a app to fix the whole bad video file codec, or try splicing off the cut scenes & add new one with brand new re-recorded cut scene in the game movie section hopefully.
