what's up guys I'm going to show you how you can take your video from this and
improve it to this so let's get started
ah dude it's just water
so one of the first steps you can do is to give your footage a distinct looking
style this is called color grading I want this video to have a more dramatic
and dark look to it I feel like the original footage straight out of the
camera just doesn't give me that look so what I can do is select the clip I want
to change now I have the option of opening up the advanced color tuning
tool which can be found here once that is open you can see that I
have a bunch of options to alter the clip changing things like the white
balance exposure contrast and saturation will allow me to have custom control
over the look of the footage or you can simply add a 3d lut to your video which
will automatically apply a distinct look to your clip which is exactly what I'm
going to do so I'm going to select the 3d lut tab and choose one of the
available left's each lot has a different look so you can play around
and choose different ones to see which one you like but I'm just going to go
ahead and stick with Mission Impossible now I'm going to hit OK and the LUT will
be applied to my clip in the timeline so if you want the rest of your clips to
have the same let applied to them then you will need to open up the advanced
color tuning tool for each individual clip and apply the light that way so to
really dial up that intensity from the gun shootout I'm going to use an effect
from the blockbuster set you can purchase your own copy of the
blockbuster effect set at Tamura wondershare comm slash effect store
there's a link in the description box below so if I go ahead and click on
elements then click on blockbuster on the left side of the screen I can open
up all the elements in the blockbuster set in order to make the gunshots more
believable I'm going to use the elements called bullets 22 and 23 these are
called muzzle flashes and I'm going to overlay them on the video every time
someone fires a gun I have 19 muzzle flashes laid out on my timeline in this
video so for the sake of time I'm only going to show you two examples one that
uses the camera angle looking directly at the gun and one from the side you can
follow these steps and repeat them for any other gun shots you have in your own
videos so in this clip the cameras looking at the gun
the front as it is being fired so I'm going to drag and drop bullets 23 onto a
picture-in-picture track on my timeline the muzzle flash only shows up for one
frame so I want to place it at a point when it looks like the trigger is being
pulled now once I have it in the correct spot on the timeline I need to resize
and reposition it I can do that by making sure the muzzle flash element is
selected and then grabbing one of the corners of the yellow bounding box and
dragging it inwards once I have it down to the size that I want I can reposition
it by clicking somewhere inside the yellow bounding box and dragging it
I'm going to place it somewhere over the middle of the barrel of the gun if I
play it back you can see that I have a muzzle flash that makes the gunshot look
more dramatic now I'm going to show you how to apply a muzzle flash when your
camera footage looks at the gun from the side so in this clip I'm going to drag
and drop bullets 22 on one of my picture and picture track layers the first
problem you can see is that the muzzle flash is facing the wrong way this can
be corrected by selecting the muzzle flash clip and clicking on the
green-screen tool if you look on the left side down near the bottom you will
see a tab that says clip click on that and you will see the option to rotate or
flip your clip I'm going to click on flip horizontal so that the muzzle flash
faces the correct way then hit OK and it will update in the timeline now I can do
the same thing I did with the last muzzle flash I will resize it by
grabbing the edge of the yellow bounding box and then I will click and drag
inside the yellow bounding box to reposition it just in front of the gun
now you would just have to repeat these steps every time someone pulls the
trigger on the gun and you will have a sequence full of dramatic gun shots one
last thing you can do is add overlays one popular technique is adding a
letterbox this is when you see those black bars on the top and bottom of a
video this is meant to create an aspect ratio that resembles the type of cameras
that are used to film big-budget Hollywood movies once you have imported
the letterbox into filmora you can simply drag and drop it onto a
picture-in-picture track layer and stretch it out to cover the entire video
make sure to keep it on the lowest picture and picture track that way it
will sit over top of all the other layers that you place in your timeline
also check out the Moors filters and overlay section you might find some
graphics that can be handy in your action film at the beginning of this
video I use the heads-up display from the sci-fi set thanks so much for
watching don't forget to hit that subscribe button and have fun making
your own action films
