Overview

The creator provides a detailed tutorial on her video editing process for creating a stop-motion animation effect. She begins by showing how she films a journal being flipped through, then demonstrates taking screenshots of individual frames. Next, she explains how to use Canva to remove the background from each image and export them as transparent PNGs, before finally showing how she layers these images in CapCut to create the floating animation over her main video.

    how I edit my videos

Transcript

I've been getting a lot of questions about how to edit my videos like this, so I will show you. The first thing I do is just take a video on my phone, just flipping through my journal. I yes, like, this random toy from my kids. It's just like a metal stick to flip the pages, but you could use anything, any sort of stick. Just kinda wanna keep your hand out of the frame as much as possible because you're going to edit that out better, take it out of the background. So I have my video on my iPhone, then what I'll do is I'll go through best screenshot frames. You just wanna show the progression of motion. Then all I do, push those screenshot images into Canva and remove the background on each image. Then I just export those with a transparent background. Then in CapCut, I highly recommend the desktop version. It's much, much, much easier to edit on. Just saying. So then I just I just pull those vector images, add them as a layer on my video, splice them up into different frames. And I don't no. I play with, like, the length of the frame and the position of the frame no you can make it however you want. Hopefully, this has been helpful to someone. Okay. Bye.
