Pasting Attributes

Pasting attributes means that if you like an edit that you've done on one piece of footage, you can copy and past them onto a different piece of footage so you get the exact same effects. For example , if you change the colour of one piece of footage and want all you footage to be that same colouring, then you can copy and paste its attributes to another piece of footage.

You need the pieces of footage on your timeline.

Right click on the edited piece of footage on your timeline, this menu will come up.

Select 'Copy' and this will copy the effects from this clip (in this example its the colouring).

Then click on your other piece of footage, of which you want the effects, and select 'Paste Attributes' and the effects will paste onto the other clip, as seen below.

Changing The Colouring Of Your Footage

Using the three way colour correcter you can change what colouring you footage is to suite the mood, time or to change the atmospheric feel of your video.

Firstly, drag a piece of footage onto your timeline that you would like to use and edit.

Then, on the right hand side, above the box, click the title 'Effects'.

And then select the heading 'Video Effects' and a list of various video effects will appear.

From that list, select the heading 'Colour Correction' and another list of different colour collection effects will appear.

Scroll down to where you see 'Three-Way Colour Correcter' and select it.

You then need to go up to the top of the screen and select the heading 'Effect Controls' and this screen should come up. (you need to make sure you've got the piece of footage that you want to edit selected).

You can then drag the small, white circles, in the middle of the colour circles, and change the colouring of footage as you can see above and below.

Using A Transition

This shows you how to using a transition from one piece of footage to another.

 Firstly, you need to have one piece of selected footage already in place on your right hand side of the screen, you then need to choose what piece of film you would like the already chosen piece of film to transition to.

 When you've chosen the piece of footage, select it and drag it over the right hand side, next to the originally chosen piece of footage. 

 On the left hand side of the screen, on top of the project box, there are different headings you can choose, click on 'Effects'. This box will then show different choices of effects instead of your filming.

 You then need to choose the title 'video transitions' (click on the triangle next to the heading).

 Then choose whatever sort of transition you would like to use. For this example I have chosen 'dissolve'. So you would then click on the triangle next to the heading dissolve so that you then open a list of different dissolve transitions. 

 You can then choose which sort of dissolve transition you would like to use. For this example I'm using film dissolve.

 Click on the film dissolve and then drag it over to the other side, in between the two pieces of footage.  

You can then play the footage and decide if you like the transition. 

Selecting A Certain Bit Of Footage

                               How to select a certain part of footage from a bit of filming to use in your   music video.                  

 Firstly you choose which bit of footage you want to edit from the project box.

 You then play the piece of footage up and find where you want the edited bit of footage to start, you then pause it on the starting point and select the button ' { '.  

 Then play the clip again up until you want the edited clip to end, you then pause the clip and then select the ' } ' button. 

 You should then have the selected piece of footage that you would to use in your video. You can play the selected piece of footage to check that it's correct.

 After that, all you need to do is place your cursor over the left hand side, on the piece of film you'd like to use, and then just drag the piece of footage over onto the right hand side and place where needed.
