hey this is Dave from retired time productions and this is a tutorial on
all the steps to make a complete movie for YouTube with MAGIX Movie Edit Pro
2018 plus. So this is a beginner tutorial and I'm going to go through all the details
you need to know to make a complete movie. So the first thing I want to talk
about is the version now MAGIX doesn't put the name or the year any more into
the splash screen when it comes up but if you want to know what version you
have you can just go to help about and then it'll say right up here so it says
version 17 so this was made in seventeen but it's actually the 2018 product so I
just wanted to make that clear if this was a 2017 product it would have a 16
there so that's how to check your version to make sure it's right so the
first step for making a video for YouTube is to pick out a title for the
video so let's do that first now we want a title that's specific to the video and
explains what the topic is about and we also want a title that is easily
searchable on YouTube so people can find it and ranks near the top in the videos
during the search so what we can do is type in a few words specific to the
video we're gonna do I'm gonna do an RC video since I've got an RC channel with
planes and multirotors and stuff like that and I'm gonna do an ESC (electronic speed control) calibration
video see I typed in twin and I got ESC (electronic speed control) throttle calibration. yeah that's about
what I'm gonna be doing but I noticed when I did the search that multi-engine
came up so it doesn't look like many people are searching for twin engines
and if I take off the first part... look at that twenty six thousand results so you
can see that something people are searching for and that's what we want
but we also want to make it unique geek about our video and narrow it down
so that's why I added these other features like this other text like an
brake setup for example I don't worry about the space okay so that narrowed it
down to like 2000 results and then if I put the multi engine in since this is
multi engine stuff that further narrows it down so we know we got a good
category oh that's pretty good so 4530 multi engine ESC (electronic speed control) throttle calibration
and brake setup I think I like that so the second step is I make a folder so
I've made a folder on my desktop with this title right here which I picked up
for a search optimization and then I put my material in here the video clips that
I've recorded and any audio I get I put into this folder third step is to launch
MAGIX Movie Edit Pro and give your movie project the same title so I'm gonna go
ahead and check create a new project right here and then I'm copied the title
from my folder that I just made and I'll paste it in there and click OK okay so
you can see at the top here I now have the title that I picked out and I'm
gonna be using and so now when I make my movie I'm gonna make sure that it
contains content that's relevant to this title keep in mind that lighting is very
important to making a video too so I have two key lights or fill lights. Key /
fill lights up front here shining back at the bench and at me then I also have
a backlight or hair light you would call it back / hair light it reflects off the
ceiling and that also shines down on my head and on the bench as well
for set lighting like if you have some interesting things in the back that you
want a highlight make it interesting for the viewer you might put a set light in
the rear so that's a general idea for the lighting and it's inexpensive these
are just LED lights the one in the lamp here is also an LED light audio is also
important so what I do is I usually use some sort of lapel mic like this one
right here and have it connected directly into the camera so you can see
the wire going in there or I'll use some sort of mic like this which has a
windscreen that can go on the camera or be placed on the bench or above on a
boom so there are some ideas for the audio but the audio is important you
don't want to make a video that has poor audio that no one can hear so the fourth
step is to drag in one of my video clips and start making the movie so I'm gonna
take this video clip and bring it in and I'm gonna adjust the movie to the video
clip you can see that it's a 1080p movie at basically 24 frames a second right
here so let's go ahead and bring it in and adjust the movie to it
and there it is right there I can scroll through and just see what we got and
there's me if you want to know what I look like
alright let's get started with the Edit so this area of the screen is called the
arranger right down here and this is where we make our movies where we do all
our editing this can be in for mode so you can put the arranger in storyboard
mode like that or you can put it in scene overview mode or you can put it in
timeline mode which is the one I use the most and there's also a multicam mode
for switching back and forth between different camera angles in real time and
I'm not going to get into that here I don't use that very much so I'm in
timeline mode and if I wanted to bring in one more clip for example I could
actually use this this button down here to shrink the
object down so I got room on the track and then I could go back to my folder
and just grab another clip like this and drag it down in there and drop it on the
timeline okay so now we got two clips here's one clip and there's another clip
most of my movie is in one clip so I'm gonna have to go and trim this and
that's where I go to the tools up here the trimmer tool is actually this one
here that splits the objects okay let's see if we can go ahead and split this
into some different sections so I'm gonna go ahead and magnify it a little
bit with this plus key and remember we still have this other clip here but I'm
just gonna be working with this one so I'm gonna magnify it quite a bit now I
can go ahead and move this along this is actually the marker and you can move the
marker along by just dragging it with your mouse hold down the left button of
the mouse and drag it along and you can see I'm scrolling through the movie so
this is one scene right here and I'm talking about the plane now I move over
here I'm actually in a different scene so I'm gonna go ahead and splice it
there alright now I'm talking about something else in this section and now
I'm going around to a different place I'm in this scene right here so I'm
gonna go ahead and split that this is just rough sectioning here so that I can
get the different sections an idea of the different sections now I'm going to
talk about that for a while alright I'm just going through it
using this down the bottom here this little slider to move along see if
there's anything different there that looks like it's okay here's a different
section where I'm talking about the directions so I'll go ahead and split
that and now I'm back over here so I'll just go ahead and split that alright
okay and then I've got my one clip that I can insert later I haven't decided
this clip here is just me explaining about safety so I'll probably put that
in somewhere in the middle when I get done so that is the trimmer tool how to
use the trimmer tool okay now let's talk about these mouse modes right here so
the first mouse mode is just single object Mouse mode and that's one I'm in
now I can move an object around like this let me go ahead and you can use
this double arrow here to make it fit the timeline make all objects the
information fit the timeline that'll let me slide this over a little bit okay so
I'm in single object Mouse mode and you can see I can move just one object
around now right here is a single track mouse mode if I click that now you can
see all of the objects move together like that
okay I'm going to go back to single object and I'm gonna put one of these
objects down here on the second track now when I go to single track mode you
can see just the top track moves now this third option is for all tracks if I
click that all of the tracks will move and that's so you can just slide things
around as groups and then finally you have one here which is
stretch mode which is like if you want to time stretch a video you know change
the speed of it or maybe you're changing the audio to time stretching I'm not
gonna be using that right now but I do sometimes to align things alright so
another thing I want to talk about is
these two right here this is group and ungroup so I could actually ungroup a
single object like this actually has audio in it so I click ungroup I can get
the audio separately down here and there's actually no way to get back out
of that I can't just click group and put them
back together it won't work but I can hit the back arrow or the undo so I
could do undo undo group and that puts it back and then there's redo so that's
your two arrows right there so you have this one and this one that you can use
to move back and forth between what you've just done okay so that's a lot of
the things right here and then there's one more here which is the magnet tool
now the magnet tool actually makes things snap into place so if I drag
something over it'll snap right up against the other one kind of handy I
recommend leaving that on if you take it off then it won't snap you won't know if
you really have the movies butted up against each other or whether they're
overlapping and you can leave blank spaces by
accident so I recommend leaving that on just like that and then we have a few
other things here like this is for delete I also use the delete button on
the keyboard you can enter the text editor here and
then you have chapter markers that you can set and snap markers if you want to
snap to a certain place in the video good for a lining audio or something
like that to your video so that's the basic ideas right there so don't worry
I'll go over some of these controls as I edit the
movie so you can see how they're used and I'll talk about the transport
controls up here to later on now let's just go in and deal with the audio right
now there's no audio waveform showing you probably wouldn't even know what the
audio waveform was because it hasn't been displayed yet so let's go ahead and
display the audio waveform I'm gonna go ahead and just drag a marquee around all
the objects like that and then I'm gonna right click on the first one I believe
you could really right-click on any one once there mark he'd but go up to audio
functions here so what I did was I might have skipped a step so marquee
right-click on one go up to audio functions and click create waveform
display and when you do that you'll see a progress bar go across here and that's
calculating the graphics data and when it's done we'll have an audio waveform
okay now you can see the audio waveform on all the tracks you can magnify the
tracks a little bit over here on the side by hitting this plus key this plus
button so you can see it like that or you can use the minus button to shrink
it down you can also go over here and do the same thing I believe this by
dragging between the tracks these are your tracks down here 1 2 3 4 and I
think they go up to 64 tracks so there's plenty of room to edit things there's a
solo button here if you just want to see one of your multiple tracks play by
itself there's a mute button to shut down a track if you don't want to see
that one and then there's a lock all objects on the track and then the thing
to make it maximize or minimize so that's pretty much it for these little
buttons here now if you want this audio waveform to show up every time you
import an object you can do that in the settings go up here to file settings
program right here then go to video audio right here on
this tab and this automatically create waveform during import so that's all you
need to do there's other features in here too that you can select to your
liking so I've got it on NTSC right here in half waveform display and I don't
have the gridlines on and some other things you can see here so that's the
way I have it click OK alright so next time we bring an object
in the waveform will be created automatically okay so let's get into
more detail about how to use all the controls by editing this first video
object here so let's go ahead and use the plus key down here to just increase
the magnification and then we'll find out where we want to make our first cut
let's start and play it so now we're going to use the transport controls I'm
going to hit this to arrow here to play it
it's gonna be somewhere this is Dave from retired time productions all right
head right there hello this is Dave from retired time
productions I've been using these buttons up here so I hit the stop button
just to stop it now this another way you can do this instead of using these
transport controls which I like because up on these transport controls there's
actually no button to stop at the current location so I can play it like
this but when I stop it it goes back to the beginning where I started so that's
acting the same as the spacebar for example if I press the spacebar it'll
play and if I press the spacebar is it'll go back to the beginning what I
like to do is stop it at the current location so I use the K key on on the
keyboard and you can actually use J K and L as the transport controls on your
keyboard so if I press J you'll see the marker move backward I press K it'll
stop and if I press L it will move forward until I get where I want
hello this is Dave so when I said hello this is Dave that's where I stopped
right there and then I can get more fine
so that's perfect right there where it says hello this is Dave so I'm gonna go
ahead and make my cut there now to delete an object I can either go to the
trash can here and click delete or I can just press Delete on the keyboard which
is what I usually do so you can do it either way so let's just use the trash
can so you can see what I'm doing I press the trashcan button and I
deleted it okay now let's put this in this mouse mode for a singletrack I'll
go back to the double arrow so I can see everything now let's just move this clip
to the beginning because I've got it trimmed and now we'll just listen to
I'll listen to the clip all the way through and see if there's anything I
want to edit for example I may want to edit off the end where the camera stops
or where I made the cut so let's see what I say break and turn the break off
so stay tuned
so I said stay tuned
so that's good right there I'll go ahead and make the other cut there and this
down here just me moving around preparing for the next scene so I'll
delete that I mean I hit the minus key here just to show you so I'm gonna
delete this little end piece now I'll go ahead and use the trashcan again
remember you could use the Delete key on the keyboard
alright and then we'd move on to our next clip but where I said stay tuned
that would be a good place to put the intro in for your channel so let's go
ahead and put one of the predefined intros that come with MAGIX if you have
the plus version you'll get a lot of the templates and under templates you'll
find intros and outros right here so you can click on that and you can see a
bunch of different ones in here right here intros and outros alright now we
can go down through here and pick one out I'm gonna choose this one and you
can test these by just clicking the arrow and see what it looks like
well that's pretty cool so let's use that one so all we have to do is left
click it and drag it down to the timeline and put it on one of the video
clips so I'll put it on this next one okay now we've got multiple tracks here
because we have the intro which is made up of several objects like a movie some
audio and an objects and some text so we need to go to this all tracks mouse mode
here now let's just drag the whole business up against the first clip now
we have a little intro so we come along we'll say I'm saying stay tuned and then
I'll put my channel info in there okay so now we need to edit the text on the
intro so we'll come down here and find out where that is I think it's this one
yeah that's it right there so just double click that
okay I'll double click it alright there we go now we can change it right here
let's make it retired
time productions like that and I don't think we need to intro anymore don't
need it name intro and we might want to change the size a little bit so let's
just go ahead and check it first to approve it click this check box
there we go actually I think we can change the size right here which might
be a little better oh no it's right here actually here we
go here's the size so that should be smaller right there no I'm off it there
we go now we got it smaller let's see how that
looks
so that's looking better we can make it maybe a little bigger
we could even go ahead and break this up here maybe put the production's
underneath and yeah we'll have them centered right here and we can go back
up a little bit bigger now all right see what we got yeah like that
so there we go retired time productions so that's
my intro and then I can do the same thing for an outro later back over here
in effects or templates rather you can go back in and do the same thing go back
into intros and outros and just pick the same format the same scheme the outro
right here and put that at the end of the movie but we can get into that later
okay now we've got our intro in place let's go ahead and trim off this second
clip I'm gonna magnify with the plus button again let's see what I say I'm
really not doing much there I'm finishing up okay so what do we do to
fix it okay so that was the end of that clip okay so what do we do to fix it
I'll just leave a little bit left over there cuz I'm gonna show you how to do a
fade all right let's split that and take this section out and now in the next
section and I'm I'm still in the multitrack Mouse mode here all tracks
sliding everything along let's look at the next clip see here again I'm just
preparing to get ready for the next scene and this is actually going to be a
change in context a change in view so we probably want to put in to some sort of
transition let's see where I start talking
okay getting started now uh okay so what we do to fix it is okay so what we do so
right there I'm talking about fixing it let's cut that piece out now I use the
Delete key on my keyboard that time that's why you didn't seem to go for the
trashcan but we want to do a fade right here since this is a change in context
of the movie and it'd be good to do some sort of transitions so the simplest one
is just to overlap the two videos and you can see I can just drag one over the
top of the other okay so and you can see okay sort of fade there let me make it a
little larger so it's more prominent okay so what we do so you could see that
fade now what we could do if we want if we just don't want a simple fade like
that you can press the N key as in Nancy on the keyboard press N and it'll bring
up this tool right here the trimmer editor and in the middle there's a box
that you can click and pick a fade so let's put the Flying fade in since we
got a plane here so put the Flies okay so the flying fade should be in there
and we can test it by just pressing here okay so okay and then we'll just accept
it if we like it click OK now we can move this along and we can see the image
fly in there okay so what we do now if we want that to be a little longer we
could make it a little longer by just moving this over okay so that's pretty
good right there fix it okay so what we do to fix it is first of all all right
so that's how to do a fade nice simple way and anytime you want to change that
fade you can just go back put the cursor right there press
the N key and pick a different one say I wanted gliding now I'll click OK fix it
okay so what we do to fix it is first what do we do to fix it okay so I like
that we do to fix it okay so what we do to fix it I like that I like that
gliding fade so let's keep that one okay so I'm gonna go in and check the end of
this one right here see what's going on and if you want to know let me get my
sheet here here so I'm just getting ready to show these go trim that and
then I get into showing the sheet let's see they're mostly East most es es have
a manual like most es es have a manual like this that you can and I'll trim
that and then you can kind of see the progress I'm making here so I'm talking
about the manual listed and that happens to be the mixer am I believe did I hit
em yes that brings up the mixer you can also get to the mixer right here by
clicking this icon and that brings up the mixer and while I'm in there I'll
just tell you you can change the audio on each track with these individual
track sliders okay and then the overall master mix you can change with this one
but I'll get into that in more detail at another time you also have effects that
you can add to a track by bringing this up you can use the compressor the tin
band equalizer this is the ten band equalizer here we can adjust the volume
at each frequency each band and then there's reverb and there's echo
so you can add all those effects to a track which is kind of handy okay let's
continue on and I'll just finish this editing on the beginning and end of each
of these clips and then we'll move into finishing up the video so towards the
end of the video here where I'm wrapping it up I went ahead and put in one more
fade and this is just a simple say it goes from the instruction part to the
wrap up of the video now speaking of the wrap up it's a good idea on YouTube if
you want more subscribers to actually ask your audience to subscribe so I
usually do that at the end and just put it in like right here one of those
things that you just have to learn so if you want to hear about more RC Tips just
stay tuned to my channel and subscribe if you're not and we'll see you later so
you see there I actually asked my viewers to subscribe because sometimes
if you don't they they won't I mean you you need to ask people to help your
channel out and to support your channel and they usually will if you honestly
ask them so that's why I recommend you put that at the end of your videos if
you want more subscribers or at least do it in the text or at the end in your
outro you might have please subscribe another thing I often do at the end is
all throw in an end screen and you can make an end screen also with magics that
would probably be an entirely another video but I'll just show you what one
looks like I got one more clip there that's the safety clip I have to insert
but I'll show you what an end screen looks like so here's the end screen
object which I previously made in another session with magics and it's
just 30 seconds of video that basically has my logo a pulsating arrow and
subscribe here and when you finally publish your video when you're on
YouTube you can pop in like some thumbnails here that you can grab from
channel of other videos recommended videos for people to watch on your
channel but you do that when you publish it all you need right now is just the
end screen and as a placeholder for those things but that would be another
video like I said and I'll get into it but here's what the end screen looks
like so it just plays some music it has a background here and that background
came from magics that's included in some of the templates this moving background
and then the arrow also came that was another object that came from magics
from their collection so I just used magics and my logo which I made okay so
to insert a movie object into your timeline you want to be in single track
Mouse mode to start with right here take the object you want to insert and bring
it over where you've made a cut I've made a cut right here to split the
object I want to insert this right in here so I used the scissors to make this
cut now I'm gonna go back to multitrack move all this out of the way
give me a space to sit you know to insert it all right now back to single
track or a single object rather single object Mouse mode move the object in
there go back to multitrack and then slide that in so now it's inserted right
in there now let's magnify with the plus key here so we can in see the so that we
can see the inserted object and let's see how it plays out I'll turn off the
radio just a safety note it's a good idea to remove just a safety note it's a
good idea to just a safety note it's a good idea to just a safety note it's a
good idea to okay I played it over and over till like you get the marker right
where the voice began I might want to magnify that a little bit more and put
it right there let's see just a safety so that's perfect right there I'll go
ahead and trim it delete the object hey I'll just use the trash can this time
all right so now it'll do that now let's go to the
of the insert which is right here but I can't move
all right now I could cut there and then remove that little piece this time I'll
press the Delete key so trashcan or the Delete key
I'm glad wait so that it can't move and this is the throttle calibrate alright
so that was a little bit of wasted time there so I'll just go ahead and trim
that piece out eight so that I can't move and this is the throttle
calibration for the es es okay so now we got the whole movie done just about a
few little things we can do one thing I skipped over was if you didn't want to
use the end screen you could have put an outro there and being in templates and
then coming down to intros and outros let's see if I can find that again right
here and we want to grab that one that was the same as our intro this one here
let's drag that down place it on here and so that would be our outro if we
wanted it like that and we could type in what we wanted for the title like thanks
for watching there okay but I'm not gonna use the outro I'm I have the end
screen okay so I'm just gonna go to change effect and remove that so just
use the undo to remove that outro because I'm not gonna be using it I've
got my end screen instead this one right here okay so that's all done now we
might want to put some titles in like at the beginning of the video yeah I'm
doing some talking I'm doing some explaining about the video what it's
about but it'd be nice to have a title there so let's go ahead back to full and
then let's stretch that out with a plus key all right let's put a title in so
we're gonna go to the title screen back two effects go to
title editing right here highlight the object you must highlight the object to
activate the title edit screen all right so now we can do something we can either
just start typing a title in here or you could pick a title from templates I
think what I'm gonna do is I have some saved templates here so I'm gonna load a
template and I'll just use one that I've saved so you can actually save titles
that you like so I've got one saved here I'm gonna have to go back to single
track or single object rather a single object mouse mode bring that title up
there and now I can edit it and we'll say we could just basically use the same
title that's gonna be our movie title up here or on the thumbnail it could be
just about anything so let's talk about thumbnails while we're doing this too so
this might be my thumbnail I don't know but I want my title to be similar to my
thumbnail all right just do that doesn't have to be the same as the movie
title yeah that looks pretty good right there
now I can just click on it and move it around where I want it kind of like that
okay so I don't want to cover my face so I'll just put it right here
throttle and brake settings you can do that and there's even some predefined
titles in the templates tab too that have predefined text rather that's in
that you can get in the templates but this is good enough for now
okay now we can use a couple other features that I want to just wrap up
with and one is you might want to save one frame as a thumbnail so I kind of
like this black above here where I could put in my title for my channel or for my
boot for my movie I want to get a place where I'm looking excited
maybe where I pointing at the plane right there that's pretty good if you
can catch yourself smiling that would be good maybe should smile it's always good
to get your face in the movie somewhere so people can identify with you and talk
to them in a conversational manner so that they can basically get to know you
and appreciate you for who you are it helps the channel I think so let's just
use that frame right there now here's the trick I'm gonna go ahead and mute
the text because I will probably put my own text in using Adobe Photoshop or
something like that but yeah I'm just gonna go ahead and mute that text with a
mute button right there so that mutes that track now I'll go ahead and export
that so going down to export movie and then I'm gonna go down to single frame
as JPEG so I just want a JPEG but I don't want 1080
YouTube will only accept a thumbnail as big as 720 at least that's the way
they've been in the past so I'm gonna go with 720 and was just so I can
distinguish it from other things that I save let's just put thumb at the end
like that all right now let's look and see where it's going
going in kind of a weird place so let's open this up and I'm gonna go to desktop
and find my movies shortcut and I think I'll just put it in there so I'm gonna
save it okay now I got a thumbnail that I can fix up later to put up on my
channel and if you're a partner and anyone can be a partner nowadays you can
upload a custom thumbnail so that's what we want to do so let's click OK we know
where it's going we know what the name of it is click OK and it's exported now
we can just go ahead and turn this back on for our movie got our throttle and
brake settings ok did I spell it right I hope so
now that pretty much completes the movie
another thing you can do is under effects right here I like to new tiles
that 2018 has the other versions didn't have these tiles that gave you a little
picture which I really like these pictures to tell you what the function
does so this is under video effects under the effects tab so if it looks a
little dark you can always go to like brightness contrast right here highlight
the object that you want to effect you can hit auto exposure if I do that it'll
kind of sharpen things up a little bit another way I'm going to turn that off
for now another way you can do it is actually you can adjust the brightness
and contrast right here or you could turn up the gamma see how the gamma
really brightens it up see it was kind of dark before and now the gamma kind of
brightens it up you don't want to overdo it but you might want to just turn it up
a little maybe turn this will bring up the background and highlights which
probably isn't a good idea for this one because I want to keep the background
dark but just little changes like that can make a big difference if you want
more contrast you could add that in like that just to sharpen it up a little bit
like I say you don't want to add too much to make it too artificial looking
but you can do that right there and the color looks pretty good because I used
very good lighting on my set so I got pretty good lighting but if the collar
was wrong you can either go in here to this wheel and say you had too much
yellow you could take it out and go blue like that or green so you can adjust if
you have a bad tint you can correct it and say that the color temp was wrong
and you just wanted to go back to normal you can click this double arrow and that
just brings it back to normal so that you don't have to worry about trying to
get back you were or you could hit undo okay and
the other thing you can do is color correction let's bring that up this is
very similar except it's got these sliders here you can still move this
Center button around to adjust things and you can see the sliders or you can
just move one of them like level angle saturation okay again don't like it just
hit the double arrow and under this back on this color one by the way it had
saturation too it's up at the top so if you want to saturate your colors really
bright or you thought they you didn't want color you just want a black and
white you can do that you can make it a black and white movie again I can just
hit that to go back to zero on that and so I just thought I'd show you those
things there's also chroma key here which a lot
of people know about that but I'll just mention it that's if you have a green
screen like you're standing in front of a green screen and you want to put a
fake background behind there then you choose this green for the chroma key and
that would just basically cut you out of the picture so that you could substitute
a different background behind yourself so that's where you get the green screen
effect so the screen can actually be black it could be blue it could be white
and then you've got water effect and alpha effect too so there's quite a bit
you can do there but that's probably a whole other video in fact I do have a
video already on doing green screening and then you have some other ones like
sharpness here which can sharpen up the video quite a bit if you want to do that
and this one is one people ask me about quite often and that speed this will
actually speed up the video or slow down the video just by moving this slider and
also in here which is a question often asked what if I want to reverse the
video there's a reverse checkbox right there you just check that and that'll
reverse the video amazing huh I really like that feature
so that's all under video effects now also under animation you have a lot of
stuff like size and position of the video like if you wanted to have one
video be a little box up in the corner you could size and position it with this
just by doing that and then you move this marquee around to get different
sizes there's camera zoom if you want to zoom in on part of the video and just
show a certain section you can do that there's also one called section which
you can just first pick a section you want and then you zoom there's rotation
say your videos upside down or flipped you can unlock their so there's just so
much to this program it's amazing and I like these new tile views that can
easily be used ok let's talk about the audio sometimes we have audio it's
different volumes like I'm coming along here and I actually go from this clip to
one that was recorded with a different microphone that was directly from the
camera so we want to make sure those levels are the same because if you have
different levels it may take away from your presentation people may wonder
what's going on so let's try to keep the levels even so let's listen to this
level and then I'll turn off the radio just a safety note it's a good idea to
remove the props from so those levels are maybe a little bit off not too bad
so we can even look at it with the mixer here let's just do it again and then
I'll turn off the radio watch it right here's the safety note it's a good idea
to remove them and then I'll turn off the radio just a safety note it's a good
well they're pretty close together I think if they weren't we could go down
here now this this slider here I got to say
this affects the entire track we only want to affect a
single object so what we could do is go down here and there's a slider right
here that it's on zero right now zero dB we could make that track louder by
bringing it up or softer by going into the minus section right here so if was
really loud like this say your radio so that's really too loud then you could
just bring it down until it matches the other one like that and then I'll turn
off the radio for doing this procedure so I wanted to mention that so the you
can either use this single object volume control right here or you can affect the
whole track by clicking the mixer and moving the slider for that track alright
so now that we got the movie done let's go ahead and export it generally I think
people on YouTube watch movies for an average of three minutes that's the
average watch time like three minutes they'll watch a movie so I try to keep
my movie short where possible however this is an exception because it's a
tutorial it's a complete tutorial of all the steps so it is going to be long but
you don't want to watch the whole thing if you just want to see one step so I'll
put a jump table underneath the video in the description so that you can jump to
different points but for now I'm gonna keep this video that I'm making down as
small as I can make it and I've got it's about five or six minutes and I think
that's plenty long for YouTube so let's go ahead and export it we'll go ahead
and do export movie mpeg-4 which is my favorite format I use that all the time
it's compressed a little bit but it makes a movie that's not too large for
upload okay so now I'm gonna go ahead and display all here I'll just show you
the selections here for mpeg-4 are quite extensive I usually just use the full HD
1080 in a case like this which is all right here so there's one right
there that's real close so I could select that one and it's you know
basically the right format I don't see thing wrong with it we can go to
advanced and see what's in here yeah the settings look good so that's
what I'm using right there and it's got the right frame rate we can look to see
where the movies going it's going into movies which is good I've got export
selected range checked here because I just want to capture what's between
these end markers right down here beginning and end markers and if those
aren't at the beginning and end you can always set it with this double arrow
click that and it'll put the end markets where they are and if you want to move
the end markers in to capture just a section of the video this feature here
is pretty handy because it'll only export the range between those beginning
and end markers but anyway that makes sure I've got what I want if I wanted
some blank space at the end of the movie I could put this marker out beyond the
movie to record some blank space not gonna do that but you could okay let's
go ahead and click OK and I'll overwrite my previous attempts now it's
complaining about these being a little different on the frame rates but they're
close enough in fact it looks like the same number to me so I don't know what
the difference is but I'll just hit continue and then it's talking about
jumping to an empty section and that's usually caused by these intros right
here where I put an intro in there's a little bit of black space right in there
I'm just going to ignore that and go ahead and export
okay so let's let it go and then we'll talk about uploading it to YouTube
ok so another question I get sometimes is how do you add music to the video
well what I do is I download some royalty-free music and I usually give a
pitch to the company I got it from in my video to let them know that I'm using
their music and YouTube's ok with that so what I do is I'll take an mp3 file
that I've downloaded and then I'll just drag it over to into the movie so just
drag it over onto the timeline like this and drop it okay now we've got our our
music in here I don't let me get back out of that mode and go into single
object mode so say I wanted to put the music in say right here or I'm starting
to do the brake calibration okay so the way we fix it is we go ahead and turn
the radio on first so you see what I did there you can adjust the volume with
this slider right here you don't want to override your voice you can adjust it
now also there are some handles here where you can fade the music in and out
now let me bring this volume back up here might be easier to see so put it
back up at the normal volume somewhere around zero okay so now these handles
here that at the edges that'll bring the music in fade it in and you can also
fade the music out at the end so that's the way you handle the audio you can
also use the mixer but that affects the whole track remember the mixer I showed
you that affects the whole track and we just want to pick this one object so
that's how you do it this is the overall volume for the object right here and
then you have your handles at the ends that you can fade in fade out the audio
and by the way you can do the same thing with audio on a movie track as well like
one of these they also have the ability to change the audio right here this
handles at the ends of the movie and the video as I showed you you can fade the
video and there's handles at the end of the video objects to fade them in and
out if you want to so that's just a brief explanation of how to handle audio
how to get it in how to control the fades on it
and it's pretty self-explanatory once you try it so do you remember that
thumbnail that I saved from Magic's I saved a frame out of the video while I'm
working on that now I just put some text in using Adobe Photoshop and then I have
some tabs that I've made earlier they're disc gif files and sometimes I'll bring
them in and just go ahead and put them into the video and without giving a
whole tutorial on Adobe Photoshop I'm just going to show you I take the gif
file move it in put my tab in and you can use any editor you want but I'm
gonna transform the scale on this just so I can make it a little smaller and
just do that just move it in there so this is a how-to video and it's a good
idea to have something like this on all your thumbnails so all your thumbnails
look consistent when people look on your channel they can see that your
thumbnails look similar and on YouTube when the people do a search if people
like your videos if you have a specific look it'll make it easier for them to
find your video so I usually put these tabs on just so you all can find them
just like that so that's pretty obvious that that's one of my videos I'm gonna
keep the thumbnails simple I don't want to make it too over complicated because
the I will just get confused and it'll be hard to read any more text than this
just keep it simple keep the text large keep the objects high contrast and your
thumbnails will be pretty good ok I'm going to go ahead and save that and
apply that transformation save it and now I'm also going to save it as a JPEG
I'll probably just overwrite the original thumbnail JPEG which is right
here so I'll just go ahead and overwrite that
and so there it is I'm done so I'm on my video manager on YouTube right here I'm
going to go ahead and do an upload so let's click this upload arrow and that
brings up the upload screen now we can just drag our video on to that and
started uploading now at the same time we can also add the thumbnail which
we've created so let's do custom thumbnail and I need to find that so
it's on my desktop under the movie folder there it is and the thumbnail is
the one that says JPEG right here so I'll open that just let that download or
upload pardon me and there it is it's filled in now so there's my thumbnail
alright and just let that upload and while we're doing that we can work on
our customizing our description let's move this over so we got multi-engine
ESC (electronic speed control) throttle calibration and brake setup that's what we decided on so I'm just
gonna leave that the way it is so the first thing I did was repeat the title
of the movie in the description right here and then I took this link over here
which is to this movie and put that in there just so when the search engines
read this information there'll be a link for your movie in there and that'll be
propagated throughout the internet so that helps then I put in a brief
description of what the whole movie is about and I try to use words that might
be good for tags and for search terms I got ESC (electronic speed control) throttle calibration in there
I got brake setup in there again brushless motor things like that that
will help people to find it ok now let's do some tags down here we know ESC (electronic speed control)
throttle calibration was one of the term terms that really got a lot of hits when
we did our tag investigation so let's do this at the beginning of the video I
went through and found out what title got the most response from searches so
this was one and then I'm putting the multi engine on there was also good so
I'll stick that in there and I'm also going to put in twin engine just because
some that's what I would search for but seems like a lot of people weren't but
I'll just go ahead and put it in twin engine throttle calibration and then
some people might not even know they need throttle calibration so I might put
let's put in let's put brushless motors brushless motors wrong speed just a case
they're searching something like that and I'll put twin-engine motor problem
I'm just throwing in some things that I think people might search for and we'll
see how they rank later on so twin-engine motor problem okay so we got
a few tags in here and the idea with these is they should be related to the
title to the description and be a tag that people would search for a phrase
that people would be likely to enter in when they're looking for this problem
now let's go to the playlist I'm gonna go ahead and scroll down through here
and see if I can find one this is actually related to my
Bush Mule bill that I was doing my RC bush mule bill so maybe I'd want to put
it under that there it is right there I'll just put it under that one oh yeah
when once it uploads I'll show you how to fill in the end screen because that's
kind of interesting so I'll just let that upload and then we'll do the en
screen alright the movies all uploaded and processed and ready to go except we
don't have the end screen setup yet so let's do that end screen now I can't do
it from here that I know of I haven't found a link to go to the end screen so
what you do is you go back to your video manager once you're back at your video
manager then you hit the edit button for the video you just uploaded I know this
doesn't make sense but somehow it seems to work now you can see it pops up
within screen and any notations right here so we can go in there and what it's
going to do is grab that 30 seconds at the end of my video and you can see it
starts right in that area where the end screen is so that last 30 seconds and
then you can add an element so the first thing I want to do is add the SUBSCRIBE
element so I'm gonna hit create right here and when I do that it puts my
subscribed element in there and then I'll just place it over that logo that I
had there that logo is really just a placeholder to tell me where to put this
so all right let's add another element the next one I'd like to add is a video
or playlist so let's let's start with best for viewer so YouTube will pick the
one or try to match a video to what the viewer likes and it always pops it up
here in the upper left hand corner you have to drag it down where you want it
so that's where I put that type of video right down in this corner now let's add
another element go to the same place video or playlist and I'm gonna choose
one this time and I think I'll choose how to install magic smoothie edit Pro
that's related so let's choose that create element alright it's up in the
corner again so I'll put that here now you can put is you can put up to
four I think so I'm gonna put one more - alright so now let's save it alright now
we've done that no I don't want to do the template okay now let's go back to
info and settings so we have everything lined up here the next thing we want to
do is publish it so let's go ahead and publish the video make it public and
I'll put a link to this video underneath the this MAGIX tutorial so
you'll see the video you'll see the output this video here will also be
available for you to watch okay so let's publish it alright that
should have done it so I showed how to use magics Movie Edit Pro and most of
the details of the beginner could use to make a movie and I've also showed you
how to get it up on YouTube and how to make it more search friendly I hope that
all hell's for you to enhance your channels and get more views so don't
forget to subscribe to my channel I'd like to have you back and hit that
notified Bell to make sure you get notified when
I put up a new video and any questions of course you can leave them under this
video thanks for watching
