Edit Menu

---

Main button for editing, so while using this button, you can edit your videos using different options that will be open for you.

The scissor icon represents edit bottom and this is what we use to editing videos. So once clicked on edit, split comes first so we want to use that option, split.

Zoom function in the timeline is also used on a short clip to zoom in the clip then on it the timeline it will expand the number of ratio.

Adjust duration / Cut

It is easy to be done and adjuste the process if not needed.

Before adjusting	after adjusting

Adjusting is very easy, but it has to be done wisely not adjusting every video clip and special effects the meaning or the end result the reality of the video.

It is done by first of all highlighting the clip we want to adjust, then a rectangular form with edges will pop up on the timeline side so we can drag the end of the clip to adjust it and if that adjustment is not needed any longer we can also drag it back to expand.

To divide

This option can be achieved by using spirit and cut options. Using this picture below let me explain it.

1	2	3

1. it shows a long cusor line which indicates exact place on the video to work on, so it means that point we will split the video and that is the beginning part.

2. It shows the last part of the video that need to be splited and cut out.

3. The full splited video clip which is form is shown here. So at this point, you can choose to either split it cut it to another location or delete the clip if not needed.

In this video I deleted some clip out, and I made sure it wasn't a butt that is interesting in the video. I deleted some parts that I was washing the soybean because watching it over and over again can be so boring . So I selected this part and deleted it off making sure that the remaining ones will join together without being noticed as unnecessary transition.

Sort clips and Video speed

---

So while sorting the clip, I needed to use the final part of my soy milk production to be the first parts of the video then I continued with the process on how I made it. To achieve this I already shows how I splits it and cut then I dragging it to the beginning of the video which is the place I wanted to attached the clip.

So I attached the clip at the beginning of my video which shows the final results of my soy milk production followed by the process on how I made it.

So after I finish editing it I now speed the video to 1 minute and 30 seconds. Not all clips were the same ratio because there are some clips that needed to be seen and there are some that I needed to add more speed. For example the washing of the soybean part, it can be boring watching the same process over and over again so I speed it up faster than other steps.

I finally achieved a 1 mins and 30sec video.
