![]() Any faster and we can’t follow it as well, and any slower and it starts to feel slow and less real.Ģ4 FPS is also a great number because it divides easily by 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12. Why 24 FPS? Because that’s the speed that feels like real time to our brains.

Well it’s usually video footage, taken with a video camera of some sort.īut what we have is a few individual pictures, right? Right! And they’re actually the same.Ī term you need to know right now is FPS. Let’s get one! This is called Importing.įirst we need a clip.

We can see the Timeline, labeled in yellow, which is where we’ll be able to line up our clips to make our video. The content we use to make our videos, including pictures, video clips, and even sound files, will be in there. We can see the words ‘No clips in media pool.’ underlined in red. There are a huge amount of options and features, and it’s okay to ignore almost all of them right now. We’re going to do almost everything in the ‘Edit’ page. The ones we want to focus on are ‘Media,’ ‘Edit,’ and ‘Deliver.’ Those are all you need for now. The one here is the ‘Cut’ page which is what defaults when we open things up. There are seven icons, each of which is a separate page of the program. No matter what, look down to the bottom of the screen. It’s been so long since that first boot-up of the program that we’re not exactly sure which page pops up first. Where do we even start? To make things worse, you might even be looking at a completely different setup. The program will then open up into a complicated daunting window filled with stuff.

If you love the program or you want those features, feel free to give back. It’s likely we’ll do it just because of how well the program has done for us. There is an option to pay more for more features, but we haven’t done that as we haven’t needed to. ![]() Just for the record, none of us are affiliated with DaVinci/Black Magic in any way, work for them, or any of that.
