Introduction to Editing
Editing your videos can create an entirely new look for your content. It’s important to think about the different techniques and processes that editing can offer. You have a lot of decision-making to do when you’re starting off, but with these best practices, you’ll be able to get out of the gate quickly and start building some amazing videos!.
Background Color
There are many reasons to start your video with an intentional shot, but let’s focus on the importance of a solid background color.
Choosing a neutral background color is essential for giving your video a professional appearance. Without one, your video will come across as cluttered and unevenly edited. The most important thing when choosing your background color is making sure it doesn’t make your subject stand out too much or detract from its presence.
The best place to start is with a color scheme of gray: gray backgrounds work well with any other color scheme you choose to use in your video. If you’re not sure what colors might work well together, check out some successful videos on YouTube and check out their backgrounds.
Intentional Shot
The first thing you should do is pick a background color. This is the defining color of your video and will be used throughout the editing process to help organize your shots. Pick a color that contrasts with your subject so that it will stand out more against the background. For example, if you are shooting a video about surfing, use bright colors like yellow or green as the background.
Next, start by taking an intentional shot. This means that you want to pick a shot that tells a story or conveys a feeling. The shot should be something that establishes what it is you want to say in the video, rather than just showing something cool happening or an interesting person being interviewed.
If you’re struggling with how to start your video, try using an establishing shot like this one from Zara:

Filters for Visual Interest
Filters are an easy way to add visual interest to your video without having to spend hours on Photoshop. While most of the filters in KineMaster can be adjusted with slider bars, there are a few that you need to put your creative eye on.
For example, the Motion Blur filter lets you give your video some intentional movement and make it feel more active. The Depth of Field filter lets you control the focus for certain shots and keep them from looking boring. You can also use the vignette filter to lighten or darken certain parts of your video.
Even though you don’t have a lot of control over these filters, they’re still so much easier than editing in Photoshop!

Motion Blur with KineMaster
Editing
Motion blur is one of the most powerful tools for giving your shots depth and interest. It can help your footage look more professional and dynamic, even if it’s both static and two-dimensional.
In this post, we’ll show you how to use KineMaster Motion Blur to add a unique, cinematic style to your video. You’ll learn how to use it with different cameras, in different environments, and on different scenes. You’ll also see how it adds professional polish with just a few simple steps!
Motion Blur with Adobe After Effects
Motion blur adds a cinematic touch to shots with movement and can be used for many different purposes.
If you’re looking for an easy way to add motion blur to your work, try using the motion blur filters in Adobe After Effects. Simply select a filter from the effects menu and then adjust its parameters based on what you’re trying to achieve. For example, if you want a more subtle effect, set the radius at 1px or less and set the angle of the blurring at 30 degrees.
Alternatively, if you want a stronger effect, use a larger radius (i.e., 10px) and an angle of 100 degrees. You can also animate this filter by adjusting its Opacity parameter to make it more or less visible in your video during certain moments without changing its other settings.
Motion Blur with Final Cut Pro X.
Motion blur with Final Cut Pro X is a great way to add another level of depth and interest to your video. This can help create the desired effect that viewers are seeing something else than what they are actually watching.
You can use this effect on shots with movement, where you’re trying to show action or tension. It also helps emphasize transitions across scenes, like when an interviewee meets someone new or when people enter a building. In these cases, the viewer will notice more detail because there’s less focus on the foreground of the shot.
This effect is a lot easier to achieve in Final Cut Pro X than other software like Adobe Premiere Pro CC, as it’s easy to adjust. Motion blur is easy to turn on and off, so you can quickly decide whether you want to use it for a specific scene or not. It also has several different options for adjusting how it will work with your video: motion blur levels and motion blur direction among others.
