in this video I'm going to show you how
0:01
you can add images in a video in
0:04
shortcut So I have this video here that
0:07
I'm going to add to my timeline and then
0:09
I'll go ahead and look for images that
0:11
we shall also add So I have here this
0:15
image and then the second images here So
0:19
the first thing you need to do is to add
0:20
another track That is the simplest and
0:22
the best way to add an image into a
0:25
video So to add a track just go ahead
0:27
and right click on top of your timeline
0:30
and then we shall have an option under
0:32
track operation to add video track So
0:35
let me just move this up a bit So the
0:37
next thing you need to do is to identify
0:39
the location where you want to add your
0:41
image So I just want to add an image at
0:44
this location where he'll be turning So
0:47
that so I'll add an image there And this
0:50
is the image that I want to add So to
0:52
add the image just go ahead drag and
0:55
then drop it here and then adjust it to
0:58
where you want it to begin So I like it
1:00
to begin from here Now I've just added
1:02
the image but the problem is the image
1:04
does not cover the whole screen So to
1:07
adjust that image just tap on the image
1:09
Then go ahead and tap on filters Here's
1:13
filters If you tap on filters look for
1:15
the option called resize position and
1:18
rotate So if I tap on it now I have an
1:22
option to move this image wherever I
1:25
want But not only that I can also resize
1:27
the image When I hover on the corners
1:30
you can see we have a tiny box here that
1:33
you can move So if you see that
1:35
double-edged arrow that is an option for
1:37
you to drag and resize your image So if
1:39
I go ahead and drag it you can see I can
1:42
resize it I can also do the same on this
1:44
other end So if I go ahead and drag on
1:49
top you can see now until you see it
1:54
reach the end And now I have just
1:56
resized it from edge to edge Now as you
1:59
can see the image has now covered the
2:01
video fully at that particular section
2:05
So you can go ahead and make it long If
2:07
you want it to cover much longer you can
2:10
increase this Or if you want to shorten
2:12
it you can as well just drag and resize
2:14
it So now you see if I've shortened this
2:17
it will just cover for some few seconds
2:19
and then it will be out Great Now
2:21
suppose we just want this image to cover
2:24
a section Maybe we just want to place it
2:26
here so that we have the video running
2:28
while the image is at the right corner
2:31
or at the left corner or even at the
2:33
center You can still go ahead and resize
2:35
this image to do So just go ahead and
2:38
drag this to identify that resize button
2:41
which is this and then drag it to where
2:44
you want to place your image So we can
2:47
place it there But as you can see it
2:48
doesn't fit So use this mark to drag and
2:52
resize your image So I'll resize it
2:54
maybe to fit
2:56
here And then I'll go ahead and reduce
2:59
the
3:00
size to that Great And now you can even
3:05
elongate this And now if you go ahead
3:07
and play now we have the image
3:09
incorporated in our video and they blend
3:12
in quite well Now alternatively we can
3:15
go ahead and take this second image I
3:18
can as well come here at the end add it
3:21
here Or if I want just the image to be
3:25
at the end here I can as well add it
3:28
there And it will be added And now here
3:31
we have we can also go ahead you can
3:32
also go ahead and resize it to the shape
3:34
that you want Alternatively instead of
3:37
adding the image to the second timeline
3:39
you can as well just add the image in
3:41
your timeline like this And it will also
3:44
be inserted instantly And there we go
3:48
You can also insert your images between
3:50
sections Maybe we can cut this and then
3:53
move our image just here And as you can
3:57
see it has been inserted between two
3:59
video clips And now when you play you
4:02
can see we have our image here And
4:05
that's the end of it So by using any of
4:08
the above methods you'll be able to add
4:10
your images into your video clip in
