    Thanks mate, this was just what I was looking for! I've been animating in Window Video Editor (pah!) but never get the effects I was after, so decided to see if OpenShot could do it and here it is, in very easy to follow steps, which is fantastic as I'm a total n00b! Have subscribed so I can check out more tutorials in the future!

    Hey Jonathan, not sure if you ever get to answering questions, but if you do, I'm curious if there is a way to make parts of a video clip transparent in OpenShot. The batman mask was an image with everything but the mask transparent. You mentioned you could use videos with transparent places as well.
    I'm wondering specifically because I want to experiment with using a green screen to take animations in the foreground and put them on top of animations in the back ground.

  • @warjovangalen7191

  • @eugeneb4213
    @eugeneb4213 Před 6 lety

    Thanks! I noticed that besides doing fade in/fade out, I can also click on any point in a clip and change the alpha setting, and it will then gradually change to that alpha setting from whatever it was before (much the same concept as your advanced batman mask animation). One of those little "green brackets" shows up when I do that. My question is, is there an easy way to work with those green brackets? For example, can I delete one of them, or make one of them shorter or longer, or easily change the value at the end of one of them? I tried zooming in and clicking on them, but it doesn't seem that they can be clicked on.

    • @prafullagiri8420
      @prafullagiri8420 Před 6 lety

      Those Green Brackets are keyframes. You can delete them from 'properties', but you'll have to be in the exact frame where a keyframe has been set. You can use the arrowed keys to navigate frame-by-frame. This video might be of some help too: czcams.com/video/mgi4esWA84M/video.html
      P.S: Feature requests have been made for clickable, deletable, dragable keyframes. But since Mr. Thomas is doing this solo for the most part, it seems it might be a while before the feature is implemented.

    I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I add markers and use the zoom feature on the markers but I just end up with a zoom at the start of the clip, instead of where the markers start and ends.
    Does anyone have any tips?

I drop the clips and then on the bottom as its playing i click on the video in the track and nothing. I right click and it says cut, copy, remove, lift, split at playhead, detach audio, update thumbnails, rebuild audio waveforms, properties.. that's all.

    Hi
    Jonathan Thomas! great tutorial all your tutorialas are great ! thanks a lot,,, I am comming from moviemaker (win) and this Your OpenShot is the best,,,,I use it to make videos from a collection of pictures with music as background,,,so easy,,, I can't find, however, how to make images duration same as music track WITHOUT cutting the music, just adjusting the total time automatically,,, Moviemaker had a button for that, so with a click you had an automatinc synch duration of compelte sequence of pictures with the entire music clip,, so nice,, so easy,, Is there a function for this in Openshot? I am not finding it,,, if not, would be a very nice feature to incorporate. Thank you again, ,I enjoy a lot your creation. Sorry for my English, cheers from Buenos Aires, Argentina

      @@charlesrockafellor4200 I am not geeky at all and i didn't watch tutorials before starting to make videos. I put 2 tracks and stacked videos and images and transitions and everything into one, then audio on another. So it was really messy and hard to edit. I was creating everything I needed in power point then screen recorded then put it on the open shot editor. I did everything wrong smh

  • @egonpauli1744
    @egonpauli1744 Před 4 lety +2

    1:17 : "this foreground object has transparency"... It's actually a more advanced action that is required in order to create a transparent background, by using chroma key to delete selected colors... I'm not sure why that part is skipped, because beginners probably can't follow from this point on without having a foreground image first.

    hello
    kindly
    let's say I want to take a PNG of a circular image
    then I take another JPG as background
    and with just these two images I want to generate a video animation of the circular image spinning in a fixed position on top of the background image also it would be nice to be able to set the speed.
    Is this possible in openshot?
    Also added bonus question :-) how do I export an high quality audio? I mean. I have used a really good MP£ audio file and exported it, but then in the video it doesn't sound as good as the original
    Thank you for any hint and TIP!
