Editing is kind of a solitary job. - Joe Dante

How do you use OpenShot?

Basic editing or creation of video using this software can be done in five simple steps.

1) Importing the contents: Before you start making a video, you must import files into the 'Project Files' library section, just drag and drop all the files from your desktop that are necessary for you to make an edit.

2) Arranging the contents: Maintain the content on your 'Timeline' by simply dragging a certain content and organizing it into a sequence you planned. The editor automatically creates a smooth change between each media file.

3) Add Music: To make the project even more exciting, you can add music. Remember that the timeline for music and video files are separated from one another—the upper part is for videos while the lower part is for music.

4) Preview: Afterward, you can proceed to preview what your video looks and sounds like, just click the 'Play' button under the preview window.

5) Export Video: Once you are satisfied with the preview result of your output, you can immediately export it by pressing the 'Export Video' button to start the exporting process.
