But a similar problem arises for most people in that it's not easy to view those video clips. Many would like to combine them to single playable videos, but don't know how.

ONLY FREE SOFTWARE are used in these tutorials. That way, the average person can get started and try what they've learned immediately.

Video Special Effects - Part 1



This tutorial shows how to incorporate a variety of special effects into your video project.  Free chroma-key special effects were all downloaded from YouTube using the Freemake Video Converter program.  VSDC Free Video Editor was used to combine those effects into the following video:




Note that VSDC downloader will suggest installing additional bundled software along with VSDC.  This is why VSDC is free. Carefully read those installation screens and make sure to uncheck or decline any software that doesn't interest you (probably all). 
(VSDC download link click here). 


 Before proceeding, it is first recommended that you view both of the following YouTube VSDC tutorials.  Please ensure that YouTube annotations are turned on (it's the first of those little buttons in the lower right-side of the YouTube screen).

Basic Video Editing with VSDC

Chroma Key Editing with VSDC


OK, now that you know the basics of VSDC, lets proceed.   The following illustration shows the timeline of the VSDC project file that was used to produce this video.  Click on the picture to expand it for better viewing.



As seen on the VSDC timeline, there are seven different video clips used in this project.  One is the baseline clip of night scenery (Video 1), five are various chroma-key overlay effects of UFOs, lightning, and aliens (Videos 2-6), and one is an overlay of the video static ending (Video 7).  Additionally, there are three sound effects (UFO fly-by swish, and two electrical discharge sound effects), and one title text object.

    Hi. :) I was just wondering if Windows Live Movie Maker is as good as the other video-editors you commonly suggest. I used to think it was just as good, if not better, but now I just don't know. If Windows Live Movie Maker isn't as good as the other editors, then which one would you suggest? Hopefully you're able answer my question, and I hope you have a nice day. :)

      Actually, Windows Live Movie Maker is very good for basic video editing. If you're using it, and are happy with it, stick with it. But it does not have chroma-key editing, or split screen ability like VSDC. But how many people really need to put dinosaur's or aliens in their videos :)

    Is it better to use black as a background?

      You can use any color that you want for the background, and use the "Get color from scene" button to select it. But you'll need to make sure that whatever color you select is also not included in the foreground effect. Otherwise you'll get weird invisible patches on the effect video. With black, you may also experience such an issue if your effect video also has dark shadows. The shadows may show up as invisible spots.

    Apple Clips is a video editing app that lets users create and share short videos complete with special effects, text, and graphics.
    One of the more interesting features of Clips is Live Titles, which let you create animated captions by talking as you record.
    On Facebook, users play up to 85 percent of videos without sound, making this one of the more valuable video social media tools for boosting engagement rates.

Please comment on your experience or needs for video editing. I use such input for future blog posts. Also use the comments to contact me, as I read each and every comment. If I don't reply, that means I don't know the answer to your particular question, and hopefully one of the other readers can answer it.
