Make a talking-head video from several takes
It took three tries before it sounded right, and now there is an evening of picking takes ahead. Plus does that part.
This guide is for you if
- Tips, explainers, reviews and updates spoken to camera
- Anyone who records a line more than once
Step by step.
- 1. Record freely
Keep the camera rolling and say each line until you are happy. Do not worry about the gaps or the false starts.
- 2. Start a Plus edit with the recording
Add the talking-head recording (and any other clips or images you want to show). Plus listens to the whole thing and catalogues the takes.
- 3. Review the words, then the cut
Plus keeps the strongest take of each line. Prefer another? Swap it in. Then watch the cut and check the extras: names, lines and key points on screen, and the pictures you added.
- 4. Approve
Nothing is final until you say so. Approve, then download the finished video.
Good to know.
Is Simple included with Plus?
Yes. The Starter Plus plan has both studios.
Can I add pictures of what I am talking about?
Yes. Image overlays bring in photos and pictures where they help the story.
Your story, finally edited.
