hi this is James and in this video we
would take a look at a shortcut and this
is a shortcut beginner tutorial to help
you get started so let's dive straight
into it so this is the screen that you
see in a shortcut you will have a
filters window on the left here and then
here is a key where you can set your
projects folder and your project
settings things like video mode and your
00:31
project name ok and recent projects now
if you are using a shortcut for the
first time this place here would be
practically empty now I've been using
shortcuts so I have all these recent
projects done there here is a hideo dop
meters and as well as the reason files
okay so if you don't see something like
this what you can do is go to your view
go to layout and maybe just restore the
default layout okay now one thing to
note is that sometimes the default layer
may change slightly depending on the
01:03
developer of a shortcut and he may feel
that adding certain screens so the
default may be better or he may have
some changes to that so this is based on
a shortcut version 19.0 8.16 okay so
let's continue so here is your project
folder you can give your project folder
and basically you are just selecting the
directory where you want to your
shortcut to save the files okay so let's
say for example I'm saving into this raw
01:35
folder here so you go to here in my F
Drive documents training shortcut wrong
ok you can also name your project here
as well so let's see why YouTube
tutorial number one okay and another
video mode is where you want to select
your resolution whether you want to go
for full HD half HD ultra high HD you
can also do some custom modes as well
okay for example if you're editing video
for Instagram you can change it to say
02:06
taller than white okay so if you don't
change it then of course the video mode
will be automatic and
when you import files into your shortcut
or into shortcut then you actually set
this from there
okay so these are recent projects if I
click on it you open up the recent
projects okay and then here is the other
recent files that I've actually opened
up in a shortcut so if you want to close
it any of this layer I can actually just
go to the end and close it and then the
window or that panel will be closed if I
02:38
want to open it up all I need to do is
click on the tab at the top here then
the recent files on the reason for the
files that I'm open you will come up
again
so I'm just gonna close it now one other
thing I want to show you is that if you
prefer using a white screen for example
a white background then you can actually
change the team to say a system team
okay so you have that bright background
on the light and background so some
people prefer to have the light
background and some people prefer to
have a dark background so you have that
03:09
option of choosing choosing the settings
over there okay so they will under the
system team there will be some changes
or slight changes to the icons the
shapes so there's something to take note
of but it basically is about the same
okay so I'm gonna start by importing
some media that we shortcut you don't
really important actually open file and
shortcut will just open up the file and
start playing it into the preview window
here okay so let me just post it and you
03:41
have all these controls here to fast
forward to play or go to the end okay
that you can use all right so this is
your window here so you don't really
need to use the timeline to edit right
so you can actually set the in and out
points using by dragging this okay now
like I mention a shortcut you don't need
to import media into shortcut but you
can actually place media into a playlist
so I'm just going to open up a playlist
04:11
here and then click Add and basically
this trimmed off clip is actually added
on to the playlist okay now if you want
to open several files into shortcut you
can also do that so let's say I'm just
gonna open these three files here
this one this one this one okay there's
three files click on open and all these
three files will actually be placed on
to the play list okay so you can also
adjust the panel size here all right and
04:45
that's with the layout of a shortcut now
down here it's actually the timeline and
you prefer or use to anything on a
timeline you can use that as well
but if not you can also just trim off
videos here and your sauce window okay
so let's play some video onto the
timeline and see how it goes from there
so let's put this down okay down I'm
just going to select this okay let's use
this and I can actually drop this onto
05:14
the timeline okay so here you can also
see that this video here has some
waveform it has some audio as well there
are several ways you can edit the video
on the timeline you can just go to the
back of the clip here and drag it and
that you are actually trimming that
video off okay so you will come to the
new trim point there's another way you
can edit which is actually to split the
video so by pressing this icon here you
have actually split the video into two
05:46
okay and then you can actually just drag
the video to the left or to the right
okay with your mouse okay okay so let's
drag another clip down here
okay now this clip here you can actually
do transitions by sliding over here and
then you have a transition between the
first clip and the second clip okay so
there are many other forms of transition
but this is more like a cross dissolve
06:20
or crossfade alright so I won't cover
too much of that here okay but this is
just a basic tutorial now one thing to
note is that there is this toggle
snapping okay so now at the moment
toggle snapping stand on so if I turn
toggle snapping off alright so you'll be
to sort of adjust this video alright now
with the toggle snapping turned on it
means that the clip would actually sort
of magnetize and go back stick to the
previous clip back to back okay so there
06:53
wouldn't be any gap okay
so let me turn off that toggle again not
even if you do not have that or maybe
you have left accidentally left some
space there you can use this to zoom in
and so right click and remove the gap
over there as well so if you have not
done this toggle snapping on this okay
you can actually do that as well with
shortcut you can do multitrack editing
so just right click and you can either
add an audio track or add a video track
so let's go ahead and add a video track
07:24
so now you have a video track that at
the top so let's move this up okay so
let's say you want to have this clip on
top so now you have a clip here which is
the deals and then of course here you
have this go riding on that elephant
okay so that's bit multitrack editing
but you can also mix changes to it for
example create some phase Chris on
transitions between this half the first
try and the second try okay so let's do
07:54
that so to do a transition you can just
go to filters and say add okay select
that tray add a fade for example okay so
once we do that let's play this okay so
you can see the fit of all day together
audio track just right click and add an
audio track so you have the audio track
at the bottom here so you can add other
08:27
audio for example if you want to add the
salt and voiceover you can do that okay
you can also detach the audio from the
video for example this audio and videos
on the same track so let's do that and
all you need to do is just detach the
audio and you have an automatically new
audio track and you can also turn off
the audio here okay from each track
so gives you a final control when it
comes to anything with a shortcut
the next thing let's take a look at
08:59
adding text to your video so let's add
select this clip over here okay I'm just
gonna add a text into this a video here
so all you need to do is actually to
click on filters make sure the clip is
selected click on add and go to text so
there are a few texts that you can
choose from texts simple text HTML text
3d you're gonna use the text as simple
so straight off over here you will
notice that there is a automatic
09:30
timecode this I created okay so you can
change the text here by saying there's
two listen to it two years all right
and of course over at the bottom here
you can change it to say your font font
size so when you want to change the
fonts you have to make sure that your
text is selected and then go to whatever
font you want to use let's say let's use
09:59
x one okay so now the font have changed
and you can also adjust the size of the
text by just dragging the window and
then placing it this window wherever you
want to that text to go maybe somewhere
here okay of course there other things
will be whether you want to Center the
text within that window or you want it
to be at the bottom and you can also
change the colors for example the font
colors okay let's change it to say
10:32
pinkish purple alright okay does it look
so good let's go to for orange can maybe
we can see that better alright so this
is the text over here and let's change
it back to white okay so you have two
years and the text is there okay now the
next thing that I wanted to show you is
using keyframes okay for filters or
effects I have three frames you have
this something like a clock so if you
click on that then this this texture
11:04
would now have
Efram created and basically keyframes
allows you to create motion okay so
instead of let's let's go back to the
timeline so instead of the text just
showing up for a certain clip right for
it for example so now you have a clip
with that text just comes up okay so
what keyframes does is allows you to
create motion for example you want to
move this you want the text to move on
screen for example okay so let's say at
11:36
the end here you want this text I'll
move over to this side okay so let's
play this now let's go back to the
timeline okay okay so that's how you
create keyframes and there are certain
types of keyframes so here is actually
the keyframe is actually a linear type
you can have smooth or you can have
12:08
discrete as well okay and if you change
it to smooth then the button here will
turn into a circle if you change it to
say discrete then it will be a square
all right so let's go back to smooth so
that it was smooth the change will be
smooth okay so now all filters are not
all effects will have keyframes what you
need to do is to just click on the
filter and see whether these things is
available so if that is available means
12:39
that the keyframe is available within
that effect okay so that's about using
keyframes so let's go back to finally
exporting your file so in order to
export your file all you need to do is
to click on the export tab view and you
have a bunch of options that you can
choose from okay on the presets okay so
you have your stock you can have YouTube
okay so when you click on YouTube then
13:11
you will have this option over here now
basically the option is to export from
your timeline you can export from the
yes you can also export from playlists
as well so it doesn't mean that you just
have to export from your timeline now
this just means that in certain cases
you can just put files into your
playlist let's say you put in say 20
images you can actually create a video
from the 20 me just in within your
playlist we don't have in to arrange it
on your timeline ok so anyway we're
13:43
going to export from your timeline and
when you click on advanced you'll notice
that there are things you can choose ok
of course here is from your timeline
from your source or from your playlist
and then you have your format whether
you want and B 4 and B 3 are the types
of formats across card for example here
you get to choose your video resolution
of course the aspect ratio as well the
frames per second so you have all these
options for you to choose from
ok the codec whether you want to use lip
14:13
x264 lip x265 so you have various types
of options as well as the quality that
you want to export to ok and of course
the audio as well now once you are done
you can actually just click on export
and a shortcut ask you ok what file to
export to so I'm just see let's put it
as Final Cut and test mp4 click on start
click on save and then shortcut will ask
you whether you want to export ease so
14:45
if you click on yes then the jobs panel
will open up here under under on the
right and then you will have the
percentage as a shortcut exports that
file ok so basically that's about so let
me just pause this so basically this is
a quick tutorial for using a shortcut
there are other options as well there
are lots of other tricks that make
things easier work better so you can
also just check out the cause I have a
15:15
cost for the full shortcut and the link
is below this video so if you have
questions please leave them in the
comments below and I hope that this
video helped you to get started using
shortcut
