Creating a Collaborative Project With a Partner
Please watch the following video if you'd like to create a project that two or more people can access and edit.
How Do I Get Started?
The MOST important aspect of WeVideo is to make sure you HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO LEARN AND CREATE THE VIDEO! Do not wait until the last minute as you will run into issues with time.
Here are 5 steps to follow to get started after you have create your account (look for the specific information from your teacher on how to create an account through Niles North):
Step 1: Upload your Videos, Images, and Music or Use your Chromebook Camera to record your video.
You can use your Chromebook camera to create a video or upload a media from another location. Click on the upload button on the top right and upload any media that you wish to use. You will also have the option to pull media from other locations such as Google Drive or Dropbox. We support almost any file type and if you run into any issues, please let our support team know.
Step 2: Create an Edit and add your media
Click on “New Edit” in the dashboard to load the WeVideo editor. Start your editing process by adding your media to the timeline. Click and drag items from your media gallery toward the bottom of the editor.
Step 3: Edit your timeline
Now that all your media is there, you can rearrange them, trim them, or add effects. Add some music, adjust some audio levels and add some text. You can even animate objects to give your video that extra oomf.
Step 4: Finish your Edit
Add those finishing touches to your edit, preview it and make sure everything is how you like it. Now click on Finish. Select the HD 1280x720 resolution and save the video to Google Drive. The time it takes for this process to complete varies based on many variables but at this point you can close everything and wait. A notification email will automatically be sent to you to let you know when it is done.
Step 5: View, share, and download your export
Once the finalization process completes, you will be able to find your export in the Exports tab on the dashboard. You can click on the Share button to get a link or to post to your social networks. You can also click on the Download button to receive a .MP4 video file that you can treat like any other video file (or audio if your export is an audio only export). You can also share the video via Google Drive.
