I wish to thank you for the time it takes to research, conceptualize, create, edit and UL these. I just started using OpenShot and it is so difficult for me to adjust to the video not being in the slider bar area like in iMovie, it is exactly the same but the video is in a different location... small details never seemed to matter at all lol.

Any chance on shortening a timeline that was extended by dropping a long video into one of the tracks? Let's say you drop a ten minute video and then cut several minutes off, you still have at least a ten minute (or over) timeline bar. It then becomes difficult to zoom in and out of that overextended timeline until you export the video. Currently using the most recent version of OpenShot.

Very Nice Thank You - I work horses - done a couple videos adding sound titles text (even a logo within the video) all good. BUT making a SLIDESHOW video out of say 30-40 .JPG pics proves to be more problematic when trying to add/edit a in the middle or beginning of the timeline. I've gone back and organized the pics in the import folder then imported (adding fades in/out) which helps but working with so many individual clips is heavy, any ideas would be appreciated, Thank You

At 4:53 I'm following along and trying to do what you're doing. I've got Open Shot open on the other screen. But it's not working at all. My cursor doesn't change to a two arrows like you say. It's not a four arrow shape like you're showing, it's a hand. How do you change it so can do those things you're saying??? Later on at 7:41 you show a right click menu with 'slice' in it. But when I do it on my computer, there's no 'slice' option in the list. So frustrating. This is meant to be a beginners video but you don't show how to get to those functions you're talking about.

If you overlay the B roll in track 2 as you did, what does that look like in the finished video? Why did you not have to make space between the footages in track 1 to fit in the B roll footage of track 2 in between? Does it show both footages on top of each other and if so, why would you want that?

@PrimalVideo Жыл бұрын

I didn’t need to make space on the bottom layer as I was using it to overlay the footage on the bottom layer. This way you would still hear the audio from the bottom layer (what i;m saying) but be seeing the overlay footage
