In this video, I'm going to demonstrate how to use a new feature
of WeVideo's interface that will make editing still images or
video clips a little bit easier for you.
So, I'm going to, I've got a timeline view open, and
I'm going to come down here to this picture of a map of the United States.
And I'm going to drag it into the timeline.
And then, I'm going to come over to my folder with music, and
I'm going to also pull in, in the audio track, a piece of music.
Now, first thing, I know that for this task, this music is way too long.
So, I'm going to just come over to the end of it, and I'm going to drag it over
this way and have it appear to about there.
So, that's about 25 seconds.
And you can see that as you pull on the right corner or
side, you can see the amount of time that this clip will last.
And my still image is pretty small.
I can just mouse over it and see that, by default, images that you bring in are for
five seconds.
But if I want to see this a little better, I can come over here to the bottom right
and click on the little zoom timeline tool.
And that will give me a little easier time with being able to see what I want.
So, what I want to do is I wan to pull the playhead over here.
And what I want to do is I want to have some effect show up with this
map of the United States.
So, in order to do that, I'm going to select it, and then use my keyboard and
do control-c on a PC.
And then click paste to copy that.
But it says that I can't, I have to move the playhead to an empty area.
So, what I have to do is come over here where I want to paste it, and
then paste it in like that.
And I also will want to move it over a little bit, so
I'll get it close to the other clip.
Now, here's the new feature that has been added in WeVideo.
When I click on this image,
then there's a little tab that shows me some new features.
So, I'm going to click on FX, which stands for special effects.
And when I click on it, it opens up the effects window.
And I'm going to pick black and white.
I was thinking of doing sepia, but
I'll go ahead and click on apply to this clip only.
And even though,it still looks color over here, it's black and white over there.
And if I decided I really wanted to use sepia instead,
I could click like that and you could see that.
So, either way, sepia or black and white.
I kind of like sepia, so I'm going to go with that.
So now, when I move the play head over,
I can see that it goes from sepia to color.
But the new feature that I really like is that
this little bar has been added that lets me fade in and
out these clips very easily without using the rubber band tool.
It automatically shows you the opacity line, and
these little markers have been inserted.
But if I click on video it will automatically fade in that image, and
fade it out.
And then, what I can do is come over to this second one and I can repeat that.
