IMPORT & ORGANIZE MEDIA FILES
LECTURE 4
IMPORTING MEDIA INTO A PROJECT
Filmora9 lets you add media files to a project in a variety of ways. Clicking on the Import
Media Files Here button in the Media tab is probably the easiest way to import an audio or
a video file to a project in Filmora9.
Afterward, you just must navigate to the folder in which the media file you want to import is
located and click on the OK button. Go to the Import drop-down menu if you want to import
media to Filmora9 directly from a camera, social media account or your phone.
Filmora9 also lets you import an entire folder into a project, which makes adding many files
to the Media tab much faster. Alternatively, you can import media assets by simply dragging
them from a folder on your computer and dropping them to the Media tab.
USING THE INSTANT CUTTER TOOL
Click on the Import With Instant Cutter Tool option in the Import drop-down menu if you
want to render a video quickly.
After the Instant cutter appears on the window you can click on the Open File button that
is in the Trim tab in the upper right corner of the window. Select the MP4 files you want to
import and click OK.
You’ll see the preview of your video on the right side of the Instant Cutter window. The
timeline is located directly below the preview window, and you can use the play head to
scrub through the video.
Click-grab one of the light blue handles at the ends of the timeline to trim the video clip and
select which portion of it you want to remove.
Head over to the Merge tab if you want to edit and combine multiple video clips with Instant
Cutter. Select the files you want to import and then proceed to arrange the order in which
you want the clips to appear in the video. The clip at the top will appear first and the one at
the bottom will be last.
Once you’ve arranged the videos, you should click on the Export button and use the Export
window to change the file’s name or set a destination folder for the clip you’re creating.
