  • Import your media files (video and audio clips)
  • Optimize the video playback to your system
  • Trim your clips to the desired length
  • Build a sequence from clips on the timeline
  • Add audio and video transitions between clips
  • Add text overlays to your video
  • Make simple enhancements to the audio
  • Finalize and render your sequence into a single video file

For this course you should be familiar with basic computer usage such as how to download and install files from executables, how to navigate a file system, and what hard drive space and cache are.  You will need to have the media you desire to turn into a video sequence already on your system and have an understanding of what you want the final sequence to look like.  This course will not teach you design or stylistic choices for making your sequence.
