A quick question, for those who have uploaded videos: What do you use to edit/crop videos?? Trying to upload on now, but it's gonna take YouTube another 2H 45M to upload! Want to reduce it to about a 30 second clip.l Have a video of a driver, as I was coming home from railroad club meeting tonight. A perfect example of how NOT to drive!! Anyway, editing/cropping help/ideas must appreciated. Thanks.
I recommend ShotCut as I have been using it for month's if not more than a year. Cross platform, and the biggest FREE! And it get's updated often. I have one video on it, but I am going to do a series of videos on how to use certain parts at some point. There are a bunch on YT already. I just want to make on own on how to use some parts of it. I only use the Really Simple parts though at this point. https://shotcut.org/ Of course I have gotten used to the basic layout of it over the month's! Give it a minute to learn the basics and you'll like it! Or you should. We all know it takes a bit of time to get used to a new layout of any program. Whether it is a track planning program or a video editor. You have to start somewhere! This is the ONLY tutorial video I have made of how to use it. More to come at some point! Might make a very Basic tutorial this weekend. It's actually simple for just the basics! Now if you want to be a movie editor, you can do I, but I have no clue how to do it Just saying! My fade in and out video, and trim one, using ShotCut. It's really simple! Sorry about the audio! I just use some headphones with a Mic in them.
Here is a quick basic tutorial of using Shotcut. I should have edited the video recording software starting, my bad! But you get the point?
I use Movie Studio platinum, It is not expensive ( well not in the U.K anyway) and all my youtube videos are edited on it and then rendered as MP4s. One of the advantages I find with it is will import almost anything into the timeline. old VHS, VHS-c, 8mm camcorder footage right through to my ad-hoc footage done on my Samsung phone Kev
