Do you want to be the next Steven Spielberg or Stanley
Kubrick? YouTube offers everyone a platform to broadcast themselves and create
videos so I decided to play around with the Youtube video editor.
You don’t even need to upload any actual movies to give it a
go. There are a few creative commons clips and soundbites which anyone can use.
Below I have embedded my practice attempt. I decided to try and create a little narrative
by featuring night shots. I was particularly impressed with the depth of field shots available which changed the focus of the lens. In terms of editing it is quite quick and simple
to use. You can trim clips manually by using the razor tool and place text
on top of them to create a title.
The editor also allows you to place transitions into the
timeline in order to connect the clips together. There is a large selection of
wipes available allowing you to emulate George Lucas and his silly style of
editing.
While it was fun to use the editor ultimately it is very
basic and it is nothing compared to Adobe Premier Pro which is used by a lot of
Youtubers for editing their videos. However, it acts as nice introduction for beginners
and people new to the experience.
