Before we start on making a mashup I want to tell you the importance of a mashup. Mashup is created so we can combine multiple video into one. The key of making a mashup is editing. What is editing you wonder? Editing is define as“prepare (written material) for publication by correcting, condensing, or otherwise modifying it.”In other words taking a writing or in this chase a video and to fix it or correct it to your liking and then publish it. When we use editing for a video we can combine the content we need and edit out the unwanted content. We can show the main point of multiple video in less time. There is a lot of different devices you can make mashup with but I’m going to show how to make a mashup on a macbook. Make sure your macbook have (iMovie). If your macbook don’t have (iMovie) don’t worry we can download it from your app store. Open app store and go to the search engine and look up (iMovie) and it should pop right up. Then click on the app (iMovie) and enter your app store password and your good to go.
- You first need to find the videos you want for the mashup. You can go on youtube and look up the videos that you want.
- You go to the share part of the video. It’s right next to the thumbs up and down button. You click the share button and it should popup bunch of places to share. Then you click copy link on the bottom.
- You go to youtube downloader to able to download the video. You can search it up ( youtube video downloader) on google and should popup this link(https://sconverter.com/). There’s a lot of different ways of downloading youtube video but this link is fast and simple. Click on that link and paste the video that you copy on youtube. Then it should popup the quality you want to download the video with. Pick the 720p as it already good enough quality.
- After your done downloading you drag the downloaded video into your laptop screen. You open the app (iMovie) on your macbook and we can start editing the video.
- When you open iMovie click the option making a movie and drag the video you downloaded into the movie section.
- You drag the video down to the editing section. The long box on the bottom.
- You watch the video and look for the parts you want. When you find it you click the trackpad with two fingers. The side tab should popup and click on split video. You keep splitting video till you get the parts you want.
- You can edit out the sounds and put in your own music. You go to the audio option and there is iTunes, sounds effect, and garageband. You can pick the audio or music you like and edit it into the video. When you use sound effect you pick out all kind of different effects. When using iTunes and garageband you can find the authors you prefer and use it for the video.
- You can put in titles for your video to express what you want to say. The title option is right to the audio option. There are so many variety of title option. You choose the ones you like and you add it in by going down to the video and click into the section you want for the video.
- If you want to add your own voice into the video there is a mic option where you can say what you want.
- You can save the video when you click the upload option on the very top of (iMovie). You can upload directly into youtube with that option or save it into your icloud.
That’s how you make a mashup in a macbook. Hope you enjoyed it.
