Shotcut is a modern and flexible tool that can help both teachers and students to produce videos. During my lifetime I have witnessed the move from reel-to-reel films, to VCRs, and then DVD players which were followed by the on-line streaming formats we use on a daily basis today, whether for professional purposes or “binging” on a new TV series. Video formats have evolved quite a bit over the last few decades. Produce a promotional video for a student-run business.Provide video feedback to students on assignments.Produce a narrated virtual tour of information on the Internet.This new information can then be applied in practical exercises in the classroom. Students are often assigned readings and can watch videos prior to class. Teachers are experimenting with blended learning approaches where face-to-face class time is reserved for project-based learning or other active pedagogies which promote deep learning. They can enhance traditional lectures and be used as a means to help students understand key concepts. Videos are used extensively by teachers since they often succinctly resume topics with visual and auditory data and cues. At the top of this list is the color grading tool, usually only seen in high-end video editing programs.The default interface in Shotcut that appears prior to importing media Using Video in Class and On-line The best part is that these built-in effects mean you don’t have to install plugins. Shotcut includes a range of effects for a video that lift it from the range of beginner freeware to a useful intermediate editing tool. To add a video or audio track, click the three horizontal stripes at the top of the timeline panel, then select Track Operations and your preferred option. If you make a mistake, either hit the undo button or start over by dragging the original clip into the timeline again.ĭragging a new clip to the timeline will place it at the end of your video sequence rather than placing it on a new track. Repeat this for where you want your clip to end, then delete the unwanted portions.Įditing the clip in the timeline doesn’t affect your source video. When the playhead is at the point you want to insert a cut, hit the Split button or S key. To trim your clip to only the portion you want to use in the video, either move the playhead (the thin vertical white bar topped by a triangle) or click within the black bar at the top of the clip. These are helpful options when working with multiple layers in the timeline, especially when trying to isolate the source of an unwanted sound. On the far left are options to lock, mute, or hide the clip.
The source file will appear in the timeline and in the preview window above the timeline. Once you have all of your video and image files in the playlist, drag one down to the timeline panel in the lower portion of the screen to start editing.
