Liz's adventures in video editing with ZERO BACKGROUND WHATSOEVER
Today's adventures in learning how to edit videos:
I imported some of my own phone camera videos into Lightworks and have been playing around with them, in addition to watching more tutorials.
Thus far, I have figured out how to make text crawl up over the screen, which apparently is called a roll rather than a crawl? Or at least Lightworks uses "crawl" for text that marches in a single line across the screen from right to left, whereas a roll goes across the screen from bottom to top.
That is useful for video titles!
The problem is that while I can fuck around with the font, the size, the spacing, the color, and various other text effects, I can't find a way to adjust the speed of the roll/crawl, and the default is P A I N F U L L Y S L O W. *headdesk*
I think I need to make Lawyer man put his title sequences onto a USB drive and hand that to me (and/or put them on the shared office drive) so I can just muck around with those instead of trying to create something from scratch. I should probably also get Miss California's into and outro sequences. We do want to create a unified "feel" for all our company virtual tour videos, after all.
I've also managed to do something with grouping and un-grouping audio tracks, but I can't tell what's on which track and I'm not sure I can adjust their volume independently? Maybe some of the other tutorial videos will explain that.
