Video Editing

Steps for any Video Project

Write and practice the script first.
Sound: The microphone works well if the room is small and quiet. Test a few shots in a busy room or hallway to make sure you can hear voices loud and clear.
Stability: Use a tripod or steady table for stability.
Background: Look for a colorful background instead of a white hallway. OR use the Green Screen app.
