For example, if, in one video, I have to change the volume as well as the color correction and I crop it in, that’s a lot of edits, so with Paste Adjustments, you can go Paste Adjustments, All and you can instantly apply all of these changes to another clip. This allows you to take any of the edits that you’ve made and apply them instantly to another clip. The next one I want to show is Paste All Adjustments. As of now, it is fading on, but, exactly the same as our graphics, we can choose to remove that simply by taking this blue circle here and dragging it back. From here, again, you’re going to change it from Cutaway to Picture in Picture, then drag the corners to adjust the sizing, and place it wherever you would like it onscreen, and that’s it. I’m going to the point in the video that I want it to start. Then you can first crop in the part of the video that you want to show simply by dragging the edges. Same thing – you’re just going to grab your video file and drag it on top of your video.
I do use Canva Pro so that I can download all my graphics as PNG files with a transparent background, and then that way I can get this cut-out look. I create all of my graphics like this in Canva. Without a fade, it just comes on automatically like this, or with the fade on, it looks like this. So, this is a long fade on, or this is removing it entirely - it’s up to you which you’d prefer.
If you want it to fade on, you’ll see these two little blue circles here. Then hit the checkmark and that problem will go away.Īs of now, we have it fading on. If you find that it has cropped in weird, just click on it, and then click on this little crop symbol here, and change it from Ken Burns to Fit. Once you’re done that, you’re going to click this checkmark right here. All you need to do is drag the corners and then I can go ahead and place it wherever I would like onscreen.
As you can see, right now, it says Cutaway, so you’re going to change this to Picture in Picture, and then you’re going to be able to adjust the size. Then, you just need to make a few adjustments. As you can see, it has added the graphic there. All I need to do is take it and drag it on top of my video file. I’m just going to open up my finder window and, as you can see, I have an example graphic and movie. This is what allows me to add graphics to my screen like this, or videos to my screen, like this.
