Bonus Chapter: Movavi Editing Software

I have recently used Movavi Movie editing software for my videos and photos
and chapters in the timeline. I feel as if this current editing software for my

videos will bring a amazing outcome for me and other people who may use a

different movie software editing edition. I downloaded the program and it's

fun to use and you can import cell phone videos and regular videos into the

program. I find that this current software maybe the best choice for me. I

would suggest doing some fun editing and creating videos for friend's and

family. As I create my videos I am going to eventually share them and get a

positive outcome from the videos I am creating.

Bonus Chapter: DVD Authoring for everyone!

As you read this book a lot of info will contain the ascepts of DVD authoring
and how you use it for other things. I find that DVD authoring will teach you

new and exciting things about whatever program you use to it's advantage. I

find that there are a list of DVD authoring programs I can remember and list

into this booklet. You have to explore your creativity and mind. I find that

DVD's are easier to burn and copy. You can also insert chapters into the

timeline into the DVD authoring program of your choice. Your chapter could be

about flooding. You can also insert photos into your timeline and arrange them

in any order. Your movie clips as well into the timeline. Everyone should have

some knowledge of using DVD authoring software for their videos; movies or

photos. As for me I taught myself how to play around with the movie editing

software. I am self taught. Teaching myself how to insert or drag and drop

movie clips into the timeline is worth waiting for at the end because the

outcome will be fantastic and amazing for my friends and family to see my

talent. I would recommond using a current software like nero just to get you

going. Also please read books about DVD authoring and become educated.

Bonus Chapter: Putting your movie ideas to work

Have you ever wanted to become a video editor or videographer for a company

or your own business? Sometimes practice makes perfect. Very videographer

has an idea for their video and a positive outlook of it. Sometimes YouTube

will have educational videos and tutorials on how to do simple things with your

movie software. Simply as burning a DVD. I find that educated videos will help

you in the long run because they are full of info. I have discovered that they

are very helpful explaining things like how to play with the timeline and

preview the movie. Putting your movie onto a disc will be the exciting part.

The tough part is to rearranged the videos clips and work on them from day

one until your finished the project. Creating a movie takes time and you might

enjoy doing this and continue doing this until you start a videography company.

Trust me it's simple as 123. I have always wanted to become a videographer

myself because my dad would create little projects on his computer with his

video software. Then I got into it very quickly and fast. Creating the title

was one of my favorites when it came to a video or DVD project that I had in

mind. Creating an DVD was the fun part of the process and my creative side
is at it again. Everyone should look into having an video idea and just have fun

with it. You can also upload your videos online. Some of the DVD authoring

programs come with a menu to edit and finalize. DVD menus are fun to edit

and come up with a fun title to your own video.

 Bonus Chapter: Video Editing and Timeline

In this booklet you will find some very helpful stuff. Video editing is just one

of my favorites. I feel as though I can explain video techquies to you and you

will learn a lot from this booklet. I find that working with videos are a good

thing and you will explore the fun out of the program. When you edit a video

or clip you will see that you can go back and fix the clip in the timeline.
 Digital Media

If you google digital media you will find a ton of stuff like video editing and

DVD authoring and software. YouTube videos will be a guide on how to explain

how to play around with the software and you'll get a kick out of it from

beginning to end. All digital media is either VHS or DVD. Sometimes you can

create a backup copy of the video you shot and copy it to a DVD-R which

would be the correct DVD to burn instead of a CD-R. CD-R is for music files

such as WAV or Mp3 files. But if your creating a video larger then what you

did then you can insert the clips into the program of your authoring choice.

You can educate others about DVD authoring programs and editing software.

Pass this on to family and friends.
