Corel Video Studio Pro


 * Video Editing Software Program **

In the past, the only video equipment I was familiar with was an enormous, over the shoulder camcorder. I wished I would have learned how to use all the editing bells and whistles included with the camcorder. Then, my home videos would have grabbed my audience attention immediately if all the editing features were included in it. Once the events were recorded, that was the final piece for my videos. Whenever I would try to using the editing tools, it was much too complicated. Therefore, I have many unedited videos of my family and friends on VHS tapes sitting on a box!

I have learned how to use editing tools from different free video editing software sites. I am very excited about learning and applying the new knowledge to my videos. The new information has taught me how to organize and create a digital story better than home movies. I will be able to make presentations for work to share with the faculty. I will be able to share projects and documentaries with my students. At the end of the school year, I share a yearbook on DVD with my students, now the video will include effects and different features. I can also use video editing to create a class play or movie to share with parents and the school.

In the future, I will continue to share “free” products with my family, friends and students. When using videos with my students, it will be extremely beneficial to consider the friendliest software with minimal editing features for my students to use.

After reviewing some editing software, I selected Corel Video Studio Pro because was easy to edit and make a video. Corel Video Studio Pro makes it very easy to create stunning movies. It is easy to use because all the tools are at your fingertips. The menu bar is divided into sections for previewing, navigation, setting your timeline and the toolbar. It includes free up-to-the-minute updates with your software as well as a complete set of tutorial videos, and editing tools to create professional looking videos. The software allows the user to manage the media, trim clips, and include an opening sequence, titles, credits, effects, music and polish to the video extremely easily. It was easy to select features from the edit drop down to include video, audio, color, title, transition, decoration or an image. It has some unique effects and features that allow the users to share, burn to DVD, upload to a social media, iPod, and other media sources. It also allows faces to be blurred out if the user would like to include students in the videos.
