Tutorial - Movie Edit Pro - Basic Editing - Part 1

browj2 wrote on 4/3/2017, 11:52 AM

This tutorial gives the basics of editing on the timeline, including a review of the editing buttons, track buttons, importing and moving objects around. These features are covered in detail and would probably take a year of editing before discovering what these things do and how to use them. This is quite basic and follows on from my previous tutorial about Getting Started in Movie Edit Pro.

Hi,

See the next tutorial on Basic Editing - part 2, at about 1:20 in. Make sure that the preview window is wide enough for the jog wheel and slider to show up. If not, drag the right side of the window to the left to make it wider.

How do I export a 16X9 video for REELS?

Hi,

How do I export a 16X9 video for REELS?

16x9 is the normal default format for projects and for export.

REELS - which I had never heard of - is presumably for Instagram Stories and the format is 9x16, not 16x9.

The above tutorial is for an old version of Movie Edit Pro. The newer versions allow you to select the Movie Settings for Social Media, Vertical, Instragram Stories 9x16. Create your video. When you go to export, File, Export Movie, Video as MPEG-4, the same settings will be there by default.

The rest is up to you.
