VIDEO - Easily Edit Video on Your Mobile Device

 Intermediate

Most of us use our smartphones to take pictures and videos, right? But when you take a series of video clips and want to edit/join the clips together... or add music or text overlay, does this mean you need to transfer the video to a desktop computer and use fancy software?

[https://files.constantcontact.com/ee1208b4001/81a2ecbc-b311-45f1-84d2-476c29cc831a.png]

Not at all! There are actually hundreds of video editing apps (free and paid) that you can use right on your phone.

That's great, but how do you know which one to pick? Don't worry, we've done some research and have narrowed it down for you.

Based on: 1) ease of use, 2) availability on both Android and iOS devices, 3) features, 4) output with no watermarks and 5) no cost ... the app that we're going to show you in this article is called InShot.

Actually, we found an additional mobile video editing app that have more features that we'd love to tell you about also in an upcoming webinar!

Join us on Wednesday, October 26th for a webinar where we will do a live demonstration on three apps: InShot AND CapCut.

Edit Videos with the InShot App

[https://files.constantcontact.com/ee1208b4001/d64d6ca6-cede-40da-b698-a25bc32fe520.png]

NOTE: These instructions should be pretty much the same no matter if you're using an iOS (Apple) or an Android device.

First, visit the App Store on an Apple device, or Google Play for an Android, and search for "InShot" to download the app to your phone.

The steps below take you through editing videos, but you can also create photo or collage projects as well with InShot.

STEP 1: Start a Video Project

·     On the app's home screen under Create New, tap Video.

[https://files.constantcontact.com/ee1208b4001/010ba1db-5b48-4ccf-b8e1-d7710e1a2ac6.png]
·     Select an existing project or New to start fresh.

[https://files.constantcontact.com/ee1208b4001/f08e9f9e-7715-4f7d-9bbc-77ce1a5710bc.png]

·     Select the video(s) that you want to add to your project by clicking on them.

·     Then press the checkmark icon in the lower right.

NOTE: If you have not given permission to this app to access your media folder, you will be prompted to do so first.

[https://files.constantcontact.com/ee1208b4001/cc489586-9941-4e4e-a5c4-0a0c1a888aa4.png]

Your video(s) will now open in the main Edit screen displaying:

1.  The Preview window at the top.
2.  The editing Toolbar with icons for each option (music, stickers, text). TIP: Tap on the elements bar and scroll left or right to see more options.
3.  The Timeline track. This contains the individual clips of the video. You can scrub (scroll) through the video by using your finger to advance through the timeline.

TIP: You can click the red plus (+) button in the bottom left at any time to add more media to your project.

STEP 2: Select the Canvas Size

The Canvas is the proportions (size) of the video. Based on where you are going to post it, the size is varied. For example, the default dimensions for YouTube is a horizontal 16:9 ratio, while Instagram videos are typically square (1:1 ratio). And the best size for TikTok, is vertical (9:16).

[video sizes]

[ratio]

·     To choose the correct ratio for your video, in the toolbar on the far left click the Canvas icon.

·     As in the image to the left, next select the Ratio that you want.

·     The preview window will show how your video looks in that size.

TIP: In this example, the video was taken in the vertical format, but the YouTube ratio is selected. This is a good time to mention that, depending on what platform you are posting your video on, think ahead and shoot your video in the correct ratio.

For example, if you're posting to TicTok or Facebook, hold your phone in the vertical position, or for YouTube, turn it on its side horizontally.

Optional: If your video was shot in a size that leaves a blank area on the right/left or above/below,(as in the image above) you can choose to fill that space with a background color or texture.

·     Click the Background option in the toolbar before leaving the Canvas editing area and pick a color, gradient, pattern or texture to accent, but do not choose something that will deter from your video.

·     In the example below, from left to right, you see a blurred background, a solid color and a gradient effect.

[background]

·     When you're satisfied with the change, click the checkmark button.

TIP: If you have only one clip in your timeline, there will be one arrow on the right to save changes. If you have multiple clips, there will also be a double arrow on the left. To apply the change to both (or all) clips, click the double arrow.

There's More...

See the additional steps to...
·     Trim and Edit the video
·     Move Frames in the timeline
·     Apply Filters
·     Add Features like Stickers, Text overlay and background Music
·     And remove the Watermark

Communications: Power Words

Should you say "wanted to..."

Yes, this article is about "power words", but the term we're talking about this time takes away from your power. We suggest you minimize its use!

So, let's call it a powerless word!

We're talking about starting a sentence with "I wanted to..."

Very often you introduce a statement, a suggestion, or a comment with something like:

"I wanted to let you know ... (what a great job Jacquie did)."

"I wanted to tell you that ... (the next meeting has been changed)"

"I wanted to suggest we... (not rush into the project)"

Seems OK, right? Actually, if you want to use power speak (showing confidence), then you need to own up to your statement and not diminish it by tossing in the "wanted" word. Just tell them what you want them to know!

"Jacquie did a great job with the webinar."

"The meeting has been changed to next week."

"Let's not rush into the project."

Example:

I was writing a complimentary note to a library director about the excellent presentation one of her staff members did for our Tech-Talk members. As a female who doesn't want to seem too aggressive, I started it with, "I just wanted to tell you that Jacquie..."

And then I stopped myself.  No, since I have the conviction of what I'm saying, just say it!

So, I switched and said, "Jacquie did an excellent job of presenting!"  You can see how much more powerful that statement has been made without tacking on justification to the front of it.

There are other sneaky words you can use that take away the authority of your statements as well (I believe, in my opinion, I just think). Examine your intent before using them. If they are taking away from the power of your idea, then don't use them!

Leadership: Agenda Timing

Do you put timeframes on each item of an agenda?

Probably not, right?  I bet you're thinking it's time-consuming and the group often ignores the limit anyway.

I agree!  But, at the same time, setting timeframes for meeting topics is a best practice. Why?  Because it makes for more productive use of time.

With a little extra preparation in determining how many minutes you want to devote to an item and the minor training of the group to be disciplined in following the schedule, you can experience a big payoff once you're in the groove.

Be sure to also identify the agenda item as IS (information sharing) or IP (information processing) to help adhere to the time limit.

TIP:  Yes, if you need more time, the group can recognize that fact and assign additional minutes (either taking away from another topic or agreeing to go longer).
