Best Video Editor for YouTube-Beginners - Movavi Video Editor Plus

hi there Jamie Keith here today a teachers checkup having a great day today I'm taking a look at the Mojave video editor plus so if you're new to video editing maybe you're thinking about starting a YouTube channel or just wanted to edit some video at home of some travel videos this could be the perfect place to start for you Mojave video editor plus is a very intuitive yet powerful video editor that allows you to start off simple but will give you a lot of opportunities to grow as you learn more about video editing just so you know this is a sponsored video they did reach out to me to ask to create this video and I tested this program out and thought it would be a great one to show you the link is down below where you can access the download for this you can test it out for free but if you decide to purchase there's a 30% off discount code there too in the description so let's get started with this tutorial on Mojave video editor plus today so I'm in my movie video editor plus here and I want to start editing a video I'm gonna bring in my media right away so I'm gonna be working in this format mainly here today just like more of a typical video editing but I before I do

that I just want to show you another way they have to create some really quick video so if you want to make something really quick and you have your files ready look at create quick video up top here what it does is and I'm just gonna click on this grab a few videos here I'm gonna add I'll just have these three videos just for example I could add images too so I have these three different videos you can see it's about 46 seconds long all I have to do is go through next I can say no theme if I pick no theme then I get to pick all these things as I go through to the export or if I wanted to pick one of these it adds a theme in here with music and everything on it so I can go next and hit play and you can see with the video that I selected it's added the music through it and it's already creating a video really quickly so again I just would go through to export you put all the files in export it and you have your video at the end but you know this is a great way to make a quick video I want to focus more on this aspect of where you can get a little bit more detailed and I get exactly what you want in your video so

I'm gonna bring some video media in here some media so I'm going to click on the open media you can see I can grab a media here the same video that I grabbed before another way I could do this is I'm just gonna bring it right from a folder so if I had this dog here and I drag it over it drags right in if these are some audio files here I could drag it in and it goes right to the audio you can see I can drag this around to line it up to where I want any of these ones I can quickly adjust them so again I could bring in multiple ones at a time if I go back and if I do select I'll select these two and image and everything you can see as I open it adds it right to the timeline I kind of like bringing it in one at a time unless you had them all numbered in knowing how you want I like to bring it in one at a time so that's how quickly it is to bring in your MIDI media let's start doing some editing basic editing with this now I'm going to start bringing in some videos so I can

do some editing here so I'm just opening up my file and as I said I like to usually drag them in this way when using this one so I'm going to start with this earth and it's a rotation so if I go over here you can see as I play it is the earth turning here now what I can do very quickly if I didn't want it for the full length of it I can quickly drag from the ends to trim it so I could drag from this end or and I have a shorter clip so if I'm gonna bring this over you can see now that the clip is much shorter on this one so the next thing what I want to do is I'm going to bring in a another file here and I'm gonna bring in my intro that I use you can see it just placed it right next to it if you want to so I trimmed it that way now this is a very slow intro what happens if I want to

speed up this time the duration of this one what I can do is when I click on this one and I'm just going to go up to the clip properties here if I go up here you can see right away I have I can do volume but speed is what I'm after so I want this to run a lot faster so I'm gonna increase this by about three times so I'm gonna go about close to 400% and then as I go back and hit play now you'll see that it's much faster so I'm gonna keep on adding some more clips I'm gonna go back to this right here I'm gonna go add media and this time I'm gonna click this one I'm gonna drag it in actually I'm just going to select it and have it go in here so I have let's say I've showed you already how'd it go cut from both ends but you can actually take something out of the middle to it so what I can do is if I click on it and use the scissors and make a cut and then I move over and make another cut notice I have the chunk right in the middle here if I'll click off and click on again I have this I can take this chunk out I can change the order or I can even delete it so now there would actually be a chunk taken out of it so you can actually edit and take things out from either dragging the ends or using the scissors and to cut out something in between whenever you you're working on this you can always use your ctrl Z to go backwards with your past so if I go back you can see how it's undoing everything on this one another feature that I like if you ever want to zoom up on like on a certain part of it like a crop you can focus on it so it's just right here so I'm gonna click on crop and again all this all these things are so easy to use as soon as you click on it all you have to do is adjust what you want to crop so if I go I'm going to focus on the car here on the cab and hit apply now if I watch this video again you can see how everything is just zoomed right up on it so I'm just trying to point out ok when you click on these different icons here how quickly you can make the adjustments once you see it from the speed to cropping just go through this whole list right here and make the changes you need for editing I'm gonna bring in another one here so I'm going to go back and bring in another media file and this one is going to be right here and notice

this time if this one has audio underneath this one so there's a whole plate it's just at the beach here so I'll hit play and it just has the sound so maybe I want to adjust that sound so there's different ways if I right-click on any of these clips you get more options you can see how I can mute the clip and go through I could detach the audio so if I wanted to get rid of the audio I could go through and detach it and then it takes it away from the video track and puts it into here so I could always just select it and hit delete and now I have no audio on it so I'm going to go back just ctrl Z put it the other thing I can do with this one you see these lines here if I go ahead

and if I right-click down here you'll be able to see that I can do other things too I can add a volume point so if I now I can adjust these points here if I go over top of these you can see I can make it so at this point the audio would be dropping down on it to this point where it's almost gone and then it goes up again so it gets quieter and then it's gonna drag it go back up on it so you can quickly add more volume points to adjust the audio however you want you can see if you click on I'm gonna bring in a song now so if I bring this one in and we'll go with this one right here goes right into the audio track if I click on it same thing volume point I can do the same thing with music to adjust it so at the more points I have at volume point I have all these adjustments that I can go so if I hit play on this now it's gonna get quieter and then it's going to start to increase again so you can make some very quick adjustments to your audio and videos through just either right-clicking on these ones or just going through these icons to see all the different things everything is very self-explanatory I just wanted to mention to reset your volume points that you put on any of these you can right click on again and reset all volume points and it goes back to there whenever you click on any of these Clips just check out again all the different things that you can do by is you'll see them highlighted once you're clicked on a certain clip so let's move into two more things with transitions and titles in here so transitions are between different whether it be an image or a video in fact I'm just going to be at one more media file here and this time this is just an image so this is a picture right here of the Eiffel Tower the nice thing with pictures you can stretch them out for as long as you want so if you want to put together a different amount of pictures you can make get them to play as long as you want just by stretching them out from either end of them alright so going back to transitions now so if we have transitions with these I'm going to go

to this one here and you can see we have all these different transitions it's just listed under the features I can go featured I can go to the all of them and all you have to do is go through and if I wanted to will do barndoors drag it down you can see now if I back up and hit play the transition is added to it so just like that very quickly on it so if I double click on the transition I can make some child as some different style changes right through here if I wanted the transition to be longer or I could apply to all the transitions like this one or I can go back I could go freeze frame I'm just going to hit OK and just the show you can go pick different ones and then drag them between so this is a video to a picture and it still works so if you were pretty putting together kind of a more of a slide show on it makes it an easy way with a bunch of different pictures add your transitions with music down below now for titles this again is

extremely easy I am under the featured you can go to all to see the big list that they have in here so you can go through and what you can do is just drag them down into the title track here and once you drag it down you can see so if I want it at the beginning I'll move this I can move this anywhere I want but if I want this to start I'll go to it I'll hit play and you'll see the title and this is why you use layers a lot of times it's just being a little a different layer but then in this case they have a different title track for this so if I click on it you can see double click on it I can go through and edit my titles here so I'm gonna be I'll just write text here and I can go through and make the adjustments to any of this you can see how I can change my fonts different I can change the size I can bold it I can adjust it differently and I can even move this around too so if I want these in different locations you can see how you can just drag it if you don't want to use where the template wanted to be but once you're done you can move this anywhere you'd want so adding these titles you're just gonna pick which ones you want and then drag it down on to the title tracks now that we're talking about different tracks you can see we can when it when he opened up you have your one audio your video and your title but if you hit the plus right here you can add multiple many more of these ones so if you wanted another video track you can see right now I have one there so I could go through and add another media I'll just go grab this skateboarder here I'm gonna drag it over top but just so you know if you put something over top if I play it the only one that you're gonna see is the top one now when I show you some chroma key or green screen in a few moments you'll see why we need to have layers on this one but you can go through and make adjustments to these so that you can see the top one or both at the same time so for example if

I go to this top one and double click on it notice that I have the selection tools around this well what I can do is I can go and create this smaller so I'm almost like creating a picture-in-picture and I can adjust this so I could do this with multiple videos I could put another video layer on top and almost have a little split frame of all the videos playing so if I go and play this you'll see I have two different videos playing at once and remember you can adjust the properties even if it's going to making sure you go to the clip properties and changing the opacity of it and if I go down you can see now how it's almost see-through on this one so make sure you always go back to the clip properties we have a lot of shortcuts through here but to see all the things that you can quickly due to any of these and make sure you have the clip selected on this one the other thing I wanted to mention so we were talking about adding tracks to the video we can also do the same thing with the audio so if I go down here and add another audio track I can go back and I'll grab a different audio here so add more of this and I'll take this one now you wouldn't necessarily oops just insert it if I put it on top both would be playing at the same time so it went sound very good like so you'd want to make sure if you're laying your tracks over each other you know what you're doing and also with any of the audio if you go back to these ones double click

on any of these look at the audio so a lot of times are over on the video here but look at all the different things that you can do the audio with we have an equaliser here that you can adjust to we have our noise removal that you can go through so if there was something that you wanted to try to take out background noise and you can go through and have some audio effects right you can see right through here so go and check this out make sure you don't forget about the audio feature if you're adding a lot of audio to your different

videos so I already showed you how easy it is that transitions and titles just to quickly touch on the filters here again super easy to use just drag over top so for instance if I have a my video open here and I drag it down over top of it you can see the effect that is at it and that's just by dragging it on top of it so very easy to use you can see all the different effects that you can drag

onto it the other thing I wanted to mention you can go to the effects store right here and you can purchase more I just have a window open that I'll show you it just opens up to this one and then you can see how you can purchase these ones I actually have this one right here lifestyle blogger pack so I downloaded it and put it in so you'll see when if I go even back over to some of these other ones like this bubblegum one was part of it here of a transition or if I go over to titles you'll see one like this one was part of it all the ones that are kind of identified there with the new ones are part of that package and the different filters also so again all those three features very easy to use just love when you know you have your kind of your videos lined up just start adding dragging it over on

top of the clip that you want to add it to I just want to mention some of the other features that's built into this very easy to use before we get to some green screen and then so we I'll show you how to export it at the end right to your YouTube channel or to your computer but you can see as we move down here we have stickers now these stickers if you go to all you can go through and you're just gonna drag them down so if I drag it on top it goes into the title track and you can see we have that on top so if we go back to it if I double click on it I can adjust this where I want I can make this larger and so yeah you can do to speak those adjustments and even put the multiple ones on the other thing is we have our call-outs so this is good if you ever want to bring something to point something out in a video so if I just delete this one here and let's say if I wanted to point I'll just use the this one right here so if I drag it in I can grab the points and I can point it at something that I want so if I wanted to draw the attention maybe to the car for some reason I could point on it and then to make sure my that's where I wanted my audience to look at but again play with all these features our great to use another thing a lot of times in videos you might wouldn't want to be able to blur out somebody so in this video let's say if you wanted to blur out these people right here if I go to here and then I'm gonna go over to

conceal here so I'm gonna pick those what it allows me to do is if I click on this one oh I better click on the right one here click on the actual video you can see now that I have an option so if I'm going to drag it through here so I could go through and I could make this smaller I could move it too so if I know they're walking out that way I could conceal the people in it so again just all these features that are easy to use make sure you just double clicking on the clip and you're going to see all the different things as I mentioned from here but you'll see everything from here too so one more thing that I just wanted to show you actually two more things we have chroma key so if I go back and grab

so chroma key with green-screen I'm gonna grab I'll grab this footage again so I'm gonna bring this one in here the New York one I'm gonna bring in also my chickens that I have and when you work with green-screen you need to put the green-screen one on top this will be my background right here so what I'm gonna do is I'm going to click on this one and over here I'm going to go to chroma key so when I click on chroma key I want the green to disappear so I only see the background but notice if I click the green and just click on the green and apply and the chickens are there just like so I can go back to these again and you can see I can make the adjustments to the chicken so I can make it just like I showed you before with it I could create them move them around put them on will put them on the road over here and now I have these chickens on the road so again chroma key super easy to use in this take a look at all the different ones through here we also have animation so what animation does if I pick a clip then I go over to my animation here so

I'm gonna click on this one animation and I can make things move around so if I drag this on top you can see I can adjust this too I can set how long I want it to happen by but if I go ahead and hit play you can see how the video comes in now I can adjust the keyframes here I could make it shorter so that it would adjust quicker but everything is just dragged over it so I find the animation versus a lot of other ones this is super easy to use you just again drag them on top and you can go remember ctrl Z goes back if you need to delete anything once to get it back to normal so now we're almost done I've showed you a lot of the fantastic features in here how intuitive this program is let's say we wanted to export and we had this

finished movie like this what you're gonna do we have export in the bottom right hand corner here if you look up top you could also make sure you save your project here so you could save your project so you can go back to it at any time but I'm just going to go ahead and hit export so when I hit export a lot of times for me when I'm making movies I'll connect right to my YouTube channel because it's something I'm uploading and you can do that down here through this share and then you would just sign in to your YouTube channel and then it's going to make sure that's on the right settings you can see if I wanted it to be a video and it's mp4 if I go to advanced you can see these are actually the YouTube settings with the h. 264 and the 1920 by 1080 P for your settings and then you were just but you could make sure you have everything exactly the way you want and then if I go ahead and hit start this is where it's going to be saved so if I wanted to give it a different name so I'll just call this test I could browse it to a different one so maybe I wanted this on my desktop and I could go ahead and hit start now it's processing that movie that I just created so this has been I've thrown a lot of information about Mojave video editor plus here but the main thing I want to get across is that this is just a very intuitive video editor but it can do a lot so it's a great place to start and even grow from so let me know what you think if you do test it out I download the free one test it out and see what you would like about it or don't like if you want any other videos about this product please let me know in the comments down below thanks for watching this week and I'll see you next time on teachers tech
