Steps:
Select the “Video Transitions” option from the “Tools”
tab.
For the first two clips in the timeline, find a suitable
transition by scrolling down the list of transitions and
reading each description.
Select a transition, then drag it into the timeline
between the first two clips or photos. In the video
editing timeline, the transition will be seen as it overlaps
the first two clips.
Repeat the above steps for the next set of clips.
1.4 MOVIE CLIP SPLITTING, JOINING, AND TRIMMING
The primary step in creating a movie is editing, which may be started once the files have been loaded into
Windows Movie Maker. Windows Movie Maker allows flexible clip editing. A large clip can be divided into two
shorter ones, two clips can be combined into one or a clip’s beginning or end can be edited, and new clips
can even be made.
Split and Combine Clips
The video and audio clips can be split into smaller clips to make your clips easier to manage. Contiguous
video clips can be combined on the storyboard or in the Contents pane (before adding the clip or clips to the
storyboard/timeline).
How to Split a Clip:
1. Click the video or audio clip in the Contents window or on the storyboard/timeline.
2. Select the Play button next to the preview monitor.
3. Click Pause when the video reaches a point close to where you want to split it. (The exact location where
you wish to split the clip can also be found by dragging the playback indicator along the seek bar.)
4. Using the playback controls, locate the desired position under the preview monitor.
5. Select the Split button from the preview monitor.
Combining Clips
1. While holding down the CTRL key, click the consecutive clips that need to be combined in the Contents
window or on the storyboard.
2. Select Combine after selecting Clip.
For the new clip, the name and property data from the group’s first clip are used, and the time is modified
accordingly. If the clips are sequential, we can mix more than two at once. Click the first clip, hold down the
SHIFT key while pressing the key, and then click the last clip to pick multiple clips.
Trim (Hide) Specific Sections of a Video
A new start and/or finish trim point is established while trimming a clip. In our project and finished video, the
start trim point and end trim point specify when the clip will start and stop playing, respectively. When we
trim a clip, the trimmed portion is not truly deleted from the source file; rather, it is simply concealed so that
it won’t show up in our project or finalised movie.
