Wondershare Filmora Quick Start Guide - Adding Images and Video
5/30/2024
This Wondershare Filmora Quick Start Guide will help you with Adding Titles to Your Project. This channel was just launched to help people get started with creating their videos. I found the Wondershare tutorials a bit lacking, and though I love their software, the tutorials they have were a bit too flashy and not really helpful in showing the details for how to do different things.
Step-by-Step Guide to Adding Images and Videos in Wondershare Filmora
Open Wondershare Filmora
Launch Filmora on your computer. Start a new project or open an existing one to begin.
Import Media Files
To import your images and videos, click on the "Import" button in the media library. You can select files from your computer or drag and drop them directly into the media library. Filmora supports a wide range of file formats, making it easy to use almost any media file.
Organize Your Media
Once your files are imported, you can organize them into folders within the media library. This helps keep your project tidy and makes it easier to find specific files as you work.
Add Media to the Timeline
Drag and drop your videos and images from the media library onto the timeline. Arrange them in the order you want them to appear in your video. You can place them on different tracks to overlay images on videos or to create picture-in-picture effects.
Trim and Edit Clips
To trim a video or image clip, select it in the timeline and drag the edges to the desired length. You can also split a clip into multiple parts by positioning the playhead and clicking the scissors icon. This allows you to remove unwanted sections and focus on the most important parts of your media.
Adjust Properties
Double-click on a video or image clip in the timeline to open the editing panel. Here, you can adjust properties such as brightness, contrast, saturation, and more. For videos, you can also modify the playback speed, add stabilization, and apply audio adjustments.
Apply Transitions
Smooth transitions between clips can enhance the flow of your video. Filmora offers a variety of transition effects that you can drag and drop between clips on the timeline. Adjust the duration and style of the transitions to suit your video’s pacing.
Add Effects and Overlays
To add visual interest, explore Filmora’s library of effects and overlays. These can be applied to your clips to create unique looks and styles. Simply drag and drop the desired effect onto a clip in the timeline and adjust its settings as needed.
Preview Your Project
Regularly preview your project by playing it back in the preview window. This helps you see how all the elements come together and identify any areas that need adjustments.
Save and Export Your Video
Once you’re happy with your project, save it. When you’re ready to share your video, click on the "Export" button to save your final video in the desired format. Filmora offers various export options, including direct uploads to social media platforms.
Tips for Effective Media Integration

Maintain High Quality

Be Consistent
Keep a consistent style throughout your video. This includes using similar filters, transitions, and effects.

Add visual cues like arrows or highlights to draw attention to important parts of your images or videos.
