1
00:00:00,450 --> 00:00:05,450
Let's say I want to add some text to my video.
2
2
00:00:05,970 --> 00:00:10,915
Now this type of video I'm editing right now
3
3
00:00:10,915 --> 00:00:15,490
doesn't really require any crazy text on the screen,
4
4
00:00:15,490 --> 00:00:19,010
but I could add some subtitles if I wanted to.
5
5
00:00:19,010 --> 00:00:21,500
So, I'm going to put some text
6
6
00:00:21,500 --> 00:00:24,230
and in your software you might find this
7
7
00:00:24,230 --> 00:00:25,710
in a different spot,
8
8
00:00:25,710 --> 00:00:28,010
but it should look like a T or something,
9
9
00:00:28,010 --> 00:00:30,293
it should say Text or Titles or whatever,
10
10
00:00:31,770 --> 00:00:34,720
and here are a lot
11
11
00:00:35,946 --> 00:00:39,733
of different texts that I can use.
12
12
00:00:41,090 --> 00:00:44,570
Some of them are kinda fancy they fade in, fade out.
13
13
00:00:44,570 --> 00:00:45,665
Woo!
14
14
00:00:45,665 --> 00:00:48,370
Lots of different options here.
15
15
00:00:48,370 --> 00:00:49,920
I don't want something like this!
16
16
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,003
(laughs)
17
17
00:00:53,340 --> 00:00:55,020
This is pretty cool, yeah?
18
18
00:00:55,020 --> 00:00:56,570
But not for my project.
19
19
00:00:56,570 --> 00:00:58,903
So I just want a basic title,
20
20
00:01:00,790 --> 00:01:02,730
this isn't my favorite probably.
21
21
00:01:02,730 --> 00:01:05,580
And I'm just going to click on it,
22
22
00:01:05,580 --> 00:01:09,370 line:15%
and drag it overtop of my footage.
23
23
00:01:09,370 --> 00:01:12,910 line:15%
If you drag it to its own spot on the timeline,
24
24
00:01:12,910 --> 00:01:16,590 line:15%
it'll end up being a big block with just the title
25
25
00:01:16,590 --> 00:01:18,150 line:15%
with a black background.
26
26
00:01:18,150 --> 00:01:20,410 line:15%
You can change the background too, if you wanted.
27
27
00:01:20,410 --> 00:01:24,570 line:15%
But what I wanna do is put it overtop of my video.
28
28
00:01:24,570 --> 00:01:27,187 line:15%
And what is my guy saying here?
29
29
00:01:27,187 --> 00:01:28,920 line:15%
(man speaks in foreign language)
30
30
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,957 line:15%
Okay he says "Ma, somebody's knocking on the door."
31
31
00:01:32,957 --> 00:01:35,133 line:15%
I can translate that into English.
32
32
00:01:36,410 --> 00:01:38,930 line:15%
Okay so then I'm gonna shorten it
33
33
00:01:42,170 --> 00:01:46,823 line:15%
and I'll just select this, okay?
34
34
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:48,960
(clicks mouse)
35
35
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,947
This is selected and,
36
36
00:01:51,947 --> 00:01:56,425
"Ma, someone's knocking..."
37
37
00:01:56,425 --> 00:01:57,258
(keys tapping)
38
38
00:01:57,258 --> 00:01:59,340
"at the door."
39
39
00:01:59,340 --> 00:02:02,870
When I click on this little ball and you see those arrows
40
40
00:02:02,870 --> 00:02:06,310
that means you can drag that down and I'm gonna move it
41
41
00:02:06,310 --> 00:02:08,810
to a place more appropriate for the subtitles,
42
42
00:02:08,810 --> 00:02:10,430
which is down here.
43
43
00:02:10,430 --> 00:02:12,400
And it's really hard to read,
44
44
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,400
because he's wearing a white shirt and this is also white.
45
45
00:02:17,750 --> 00:02:21,480
So when you have this all selected, you can change
46
46
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,304
a lot of stuff.
47
47
00:02:23,304 --> 00:02:28,304
You can change the size and make it bigger, or smaller.
48
48
00:02:29,245 --> 00:02:32,000
I'll keep it that size.
49
49
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,059
I can change the font if I wanted to,
50
50
00:02:35,059 --> 00:02:40,059
lots of different font options, whatever you like.
51
51
00:02:40,530 --> 00:02:43,883
I'm just going to keep it at Helvetica.
52
52
00:02:45,430 --> 00:02:48,170
I could make it bold if I wanted to,
53
53
00:02:48,170 --> 00:02:51,410
but I'll just keep it regular.
54
54
00:02:51,410 --> 00:02:53,640
Now what I really want to do is make it pop,
55
55
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:57,653
so I'm going to go here and see what my options are.
56
56
00:03:00,010 --> 00:03:05,000
The face is the actual color, white,
57
57
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,140
and I wanna keep the subtitles white,
58
58
00:03:07,140 --> 00:03:12,140
but I could make them yellow if I wanted to.
59
59
00:03:12,246 --> 00:03:17,246
When you expand to see more options, you know
60
60
00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:20,023
you can change the color, maybe I want them yellow.
61
61
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,540
It's up to you.
62
62
00:03:22,540 --> 00:03:26,380
I do need an outline though, I need an outline badly.
63
63
00:03:26,380 --> 00:03:28,650
I'm gonna click outline
64
64
00:03:28,650 --> 00:03:30,290
and you can see here and
65
65
00:03:30,290 --> 00:03:31,123
if I click this
66
66
00:03:31,123 --> 00:03:32,423 line:15%
it'll go into full screen.
67
67
00:03:33,540 --> 00:03:36,800 line:15%
You can see that outline is red.
68
68
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,400
I don't want a red outline
69
69
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,362
so show and change that color to black.
70
70
00:03:42,362 --> 00:03:46,100
And it's still not super clear,
71
71
00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:49,850
so let's increase the width.
72
72
00:03:49,850 --> 00:03:54,850
You can make this super fat, that makes it clear.
73
73
00:03:55,152 --> 00:03:58,130
But I don't want it super fat, I just want it
74
74
00:03:58,130 --> 00:03:59,463
more noticeable,
75
75
00:04:02,938 --> 00:04:04,410
so maybe five,
76
76
00:04:04,410 --> 00:04:07,923
and I can put a little blur on it to make it softer.
77
77
00:04:10,210 --> 00:04:11,973
Yeah, maybe that's what I like.
78
78
00:04:12,950 --> 00:04:17,950
So you play around and find the perfect mixture.
79
79
00:04:20,117 --> 00:04:22,850
You can put a drop shadow on it instead,
80
80
00:04:22,850 --> 00:04:26,240
if I didn't want an outline, I can click that to turn it off
81
81
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,600
click that again to turn it on,
82
82
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,963
drop shadow would work too.
83
83
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,960
It's still not super clear though,
84
84
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,980
so maybe I'd want to increase the opacity a little bit
85
85
00:04:40,269 --> 00:04:45,269
or increase the blur and the opacity,
86
86
00:04:45,987 --> 00:04:48,100
I don't know.
87
87
00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:50,670
You can play around with the distance,
88
88
00:04:50,670 --> 00:04:52,790
that's more confusing though.
89
89
00:04:52,790 --> 00:04:53,623
Yeah.
90
90
00:04:53,623 --> 00:04:58,260
So I think I liked what I did with the outline, yeah.
91
91
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,380
There we go.
92
92
00:05:01,380 --> 00:05:05,620
And that's how you put text on your video.
93
93
00:05:05,620 --> 00:05:07,244
Let's have a look.
94
94
00:05:07,244 --> 00:05:10,163
Oh let's watch it on the big screen.
95
95
00:05:11,254 --> 00:05:13,868 line:15%
(man speaks in foreign language)
96
96
00:05:13,868 --> 00:05:16,393 line:15%
(woman speaks in foreign language)
97
97
00:05:16,393 --> 00:05:17,761 line:15%
(suspenseful music)
98
98
00:05:17,761 --> 00:05:19,040 line:15%
Oh! I know, the suspense.
99
99
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,694 line:15%
Who's at the door?
100
100
00:05:20,694 --> 00:05:21,527 line:15%
(laughs)
101
101
00:05:21,527 --> 00:05:23,110
All right and yeah,
102
102
00:05:23,110 --> 00:05:26,792 line:15%
if you guys want to do more crazy stuff
103
103
00:05:26,792 --> 00:05:29,693 line:15%
then you can take some of the templates they have,
104
104
00:05:30,773 --> 00:05:33,510 line:15%
but I personally don't like to do that too much
105
105
00:05:33,510 --> 00:05:36,990
because the stuff that comes with your editing software
106
106
00:05:36,990 --> 00:05:41,880
is usually overused because everybody's using it,
107
107
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,540
but anyway it's fun to have it there to play around with.
108
108
00:05:45,540 --> 00:05:47,813
You've seen this before, I know you have.
109
109
00:05:47,813 --> 00:05:49,730
(laughs)
110
110
00:05:49,730 --> 00:05:51,930
All right anyway guys, have fun.
111
111
00:05:51,930 --> 00:05:55,803
And let's move on to something else.
