First, software selection

With the foundation of cutting pictures, this video mainly focuses on collecting materials, selecting materials and matching materials. Unlike pictures, pictures can be seen at a glance, but videos are composed of seconds, and all the clips are fleeting, so it takes a lot of time to study the material clips.

the Final cut Pro that xiaobian is using now is relatively smooth and can be regarded as an upgraded version of iMovie. There are some details that can be studied in depth. To sum up, in terms of software, you don't have to listen to anyone who says which is good or not. You have to try everything yourself.

Second, tutorial learning

As a novice, I suggest you learn tutorials. Maybe you have to ask, there are so many online tutorials, which one should you learn? There is no fixed answer. Just click on one in bilibili, and the sound is OK and the picture is OK, as long as you are comfortable. It's very important to do practical exercises while listening and watching. After watching more videos, you will find that the tutorials all start from the basic interface, but often the foundation is the key, such as the use of shortcut keys, which will be much more efficient than the mouse when you start. In short, you have to read at least two tutorials, plus practical exercises, and the basic functions will naturally be familiar to you.

Third, the choice of music

Of course, you should choose the music that you like and feel first. Believe me, in the process of editing and debugging, you need to listen to every piece of music at least 3 times, every sentence! ! ! Therefore, it is very important to like music by yourself. Beginners are advised to watch what music those great gods are using on bilibili. If they like it, look at comments, explanations or the name of BGM, and collect it in Netease Cloud for later use.

Fourth, material selection

1. Movie trailer (very friendly for beginners)

Trailers are usually only 3 minutes at most, and they may all be highlights, so you don't have to spend hours watching the movie again, which can save a lot of time.

2. Movie video clips

On bilibili, you can find many movie clips, many of which are recognized classics. But it still takes a little effort to get a high-definition video. There is no other way but to open it one by one.

The above is the sharing about how novices make a mixed film. I hope it will help my friends. If you want to know more about film and television production, you are welcome to check it on this platform in time!
