How to create your own video: easy tutorials for beginners

Good day!

For some reason, many people believe that in order to create your video - you need to have some kind of special knowledge (almost at the programming level), learn this for a long time, etc. 👀

In fact, any video editing consists of simple actions: cutting a video, rotating one part relative to another, inserting a transition, adding a picture, music, lightening / darkening, etc. (I do not take professional video processing now, after all, most people do not plan to make films on their own ...).

In this post, I will give a series of articles (a kind of tutorials for novice users), in which, in an accessible and simple language, I will tell you how to perform such simple actions.

Having mastered these simple lessons on working with video, you can easily create your own real video on your own.

But experience comes with practice. After a while (you yourself will not notice how), you will start using more professional tools and will be able to make videos of even higher quality.

But, probably, you will no longer need anyone's lessons ... 👌
