When creating a movie, video, PSA, or any visual project using a non-linear editor like WeVideo you need to keep a few standard rules in mind:
- Start with 2 seconds of black
- End with 2 seconds of black
- Images should be between 4-6 seconds, no longer
- Titles – you need to be able to read it out-loud 2x before it disappears to ensure your audience will have time to read it
- Video is measured in frames-per-second
- 24 frames = 1 second
- Keep your media on the proper tracks
- Images and videos on track Video 1
- Video 1 need to be fully filled in, no gaps
- If you want titles over black (or any solid color) the color needs to go on Video 1 with the title on Video 2
- Titles on track Video 2
- Images and videos on track Video 1
When working with WeVideo
- Go to wevideo.com
- Log in with Google
- Go to Projects
- When starting something new always create a new Project first
- think of it like a folder in Drive, it helps keep your work organized
- Once you make an empty project, create a blank Edit
For a practice project
- Pick a topic and search the Stock Media
- Only use the free, stock images and videos from within WeVideo
- Must be exactly 30 seconds and include
- at least 2 images
- at least 2 video clips
- at least 2 titles
