Introduction<\/b><\/h2>\n

These days there are so many online communities developing image- and video-editing programs, creating sounds and music, and offering them to the world free of charge. These are great resources, and you can use them to make\u00a0your video even better.<\/p>\n

But before downloading anything from the internet, check the type of copyright licence that applies to it. Many materials can only be used for\u00a0non-commercial purposes, though\u00a0some are fine\u00a0for commercial use too.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, think about the things you can create\u00a0yourself. Ok, so you’re not very\u00a0good\u00a0at\u00a0developing computer programs \u2013\u00a0but you might be able to\u00a0find local musicians to play and record music for your film, or\u00a0<\/span>produce sound effects yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

  1. Always check the licence on\u00a0programs, sound effects or music before you download anything\u00a0from the internet.<\/li>\n
  2. Use\u00a0keywords that are relevant to what you’re searching for, so you can find it\u00a0quickly.<\/li>\n
  3. Decide if you really need\u00a0to download all those materials\u00a0from the internet, or if you can produce some of them yourself with the help of friends. This can be a lot of fun, and really helps to make the video your own.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/td>\n

Good editing,<\/span> music, sound effects and graphics are important if you want to\u00a0make an interesting film that looks\u00a0professional.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can source all of these online \u2013\u00a0from film-editing programs to atmospheric tunes – and often absolutely free. But it may take you a while to find exactly what you’re after. And at the same it can be really rewarding to create\u00a0things\u00a0like sound effects yourself.<\/p>\n

Editing programmes<\/b><\/h3>\n

There is a range of free editing programmes online \u2013\u00a0from simple packages\u00a0you can use for stop-motion animation and video collages, to more advanced\u00a0ones.<\/p>\n

Free applications\u00a0are usually more useful\u00a0for beginners. Even the professional ones\u00a0have limitations, for example not being able to export to FullHD format. If you’re planning a complex project, you may\u00a0want\u00a0to invest in\u00a0a professional editing program with a wide range of\u00a0tools and\u00a0functions.<\/p>\n

When you’re choosing\u00a0an\u00a0editing programme, decide\u00a0what’s more important to you: a variety of\u00a0easy-to-apply effects and transitions, or advanced features that\u00a0are more difficult to use\u00a0but\u00a0give you creative space and allow you to be\u00a0more precise; a simple interface\u00a0or a detailed\u00a0timeline for editing large amounts of material. Your choice\u00a0will depend on your priorities and the type of projects you are planning to work on.<\/p>\n

If you are a primary-school teacher or a youth worker and you want to work on\u00a0projects with young people, find a program suitable for their age. Also think about\u00a0your own availability.\u00a0If your time is limited,\u00a0start with simpler projects and programs.<\/p>\n

When you buy\u00a0a video camera, the manufacturer\u00a0usually offers their\u00a0own editing program as an additional product.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There are also film-editing applications for smartphones and tablets. These are usually easy to use, and they are free or very cheap.<\/p>\n
