I created a small 90 second clip, which rendered down very quickly and saved as a small MP4 file (other file formats available). For me, I export to my hard drive and then distribute it however I need later. There are several options when exporting, including the traditional save to hard drive, but also share direct to your YouTube or Vimeo account (log in required). Once you’re happy with your video, it’s time to export it. Also, audio editing in the form of volume adjustment, fade in/out, and noise removal. If you dig a little deeper, there are further options such as video clip speed and colour adjustment, though I wouldn’t class that as colour grading. There’s too much to write about, so here’s a run through for a video we made this week. There are also cursor effects for screen recording, voice narration, audio & visual effects, interactivities such as adding a quiz, and finally captions. Like transitions, there are behaviours & animations for your text, videos or objects. There are transitions for said annotations, including the traditional fade in, slide left to right etc, all of which are customisable. Moving on through the editing options, there are also several annotations you can insert, including text, arrows & shapes. How do you use these items?
