										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>If you are not a seasoned video editor, it takes a lot of time to learn the nuts and bolts of a video editor to edit stunning videos. There are a number of video editors available online, but everything requires some time to master the tools. Even if you have never edited video before, a simple video editor is the best choice to start with. To edit videos I used the popular Windows Live Moviemaker but is discontinued. I tried and tested several video editing tools, but everything has a learning curve. Soon I found one easy to use video editor that I can easily pick up without any learning. <em><a href="https://coolefriend.com/go/movavi-videoeditor/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Movavi Video Editor</a></em> is the tool that I used to edit my videos. I purchased the Movavi video Suite- an all-in-one movie maker: that means it has a video editor, video converter, and screen recorder. I am also trying to become a pro editor by learning the Adobe Premiere Pro, but it required a lot of learning and patience.  So I decided to share my knowledge to help you to edit your videos without any professional editing knowledge. I believe that you can create amazing movies in just a few simple steps using this tool.  You can ass transitions, titles, and music to make a stunning movie.</p>



<p>First,<a href="https://coolefriend.com/go/movavi-video-suite-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> <em>download Movavi movie maker</em></a> on your computer. Just download the program installation file, run it, and follow the installation instructions to complete the installation. </p>



<p><strong>Edit videos</strong><br />In the welcome window, choose Create project in full feature mode to start making a video. Then Add Media Files button to add files to the timeline. The selected media files will be automatically added to the Timeline. You can change the order of the files by dragging them around in the program’s working area. </p>

<p><strong>Add transitions and filters</strong><br />To add fades, open the Transitions tab. Choose the transitions you like and drag and drop them onto the Timeline between your video clips. </p>

<p><strong>Add Titles and Callouts</strong><br />Click the Titles button, select the title type you like, and drag its icon to the Timeline. All the titles will be added on the Titles Track. You can stretch them over the whole track to have the titles appear during the whole movie or just over a part of it. Double-click on a title to customize the font, size, color, and other parameters. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-layzr="https://coolefriend.com/picsy/2020/05/titles.png" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p><strong>Add Music and Voiceover</strong><br />To add audio to the video, click Add Media Files and upload a piece of music of your choice. The audio file will be added on a separate Audio Track on the Timeline.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>If you are not a native speaker, you may experience difficulty in writing and proofreading something in English. You may learn the nuts and bolts of the English grammar, the methods of using prepositions, and learn the technique to write something meaningfully and effectively. It is a time consuming and tedious task. If you are not good at picking up new skills, the job becomes tough. For some people, they need to write something for their work, like thesis or paper writing, content creation for websites, article writing for magazines, creative writing, business letters preparation, so on&#8230; <br /><br />Thanks to technology, there are some tools available to support you in your writing task. A grammar checker is an essential tool to correct grammatical errors by reading your text. It looks for subject-verb agreement, missing punctuation, punctuation misuse, and other mistakes. It provides proper corrections to be made based on the types of grammar errors detected. Just imagine that a pair of eyes and a brain (having all the essential knowledge in English grammar) is watching you from behind when you write something in English. Telling you the mistakes made by you as you write or type. Giving suggestions, and advice for making the sentence to make it grammatically correct. </p>

You have some systems with you to correct your English writing as you type.  If you are writing an email, creating your presentation,  sending a tweet, <em><a href="https://coolefriend.com/go/instant-grammar/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Grammarly</a></em> can help you.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>We are all familiar with Adobe Lightroom, a photography tool to edit, organize, store and share photos. But Lightroom is not free software, so for an ordinary person, the Lightroom license costs a few dollars per month. If you want to edit or retouch your raw photos there is an alternative to the costly lightroom software, it as the Darktable. The photo editing tool Darktable is created for photographers, by photographers. Darktable is an open-source photography workflow application and raw developer. It uses non-destructive editing throughout the complete workflow, so your original images are never modified. Another feature is the Darktable runs on Linux, Mac OS X / MacPorts, BSD, Windows, and Solaris 11 / GNOME.</p>



<p>To use the Darktable,  download the Darktable application from <em><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.darktable.org/install/" target="_blank">darktable.org</a></em>.  After downloading and installing the software, open the Darktable application, it consists of several views or modes. There are five views or modes available, you can switch between views by clicking the view name at the top of the right panel. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-layzr="https://coolefriend.com/picsy/2020/04/lighttable.jpg" alt=""/><figcaption>lighttable mode with collection</figcaption></figure></div>



<p><strong>Lighttable</strong><br />In lighttable view, we can manage images and film rolls. We can also rate images, add tags, color labels, and export images. In the central view, the images are shown as thumbnails, surrounded by a frame. When the mouse is over an image, its rating and color labels are shown in the frame, along with an indicator of whether the image has already been altered in the Darkroom. When the mouse hovers over an image frame, image information like EXIF data or metadata is shown in the image information panel at the bottom left.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-layzr="https://coolefriend.com/picsy/2020/04/darkroom.jpg" alt=""/><figcaption>The darkroom view</figcaption></figure></div>



<p><strong>Darkroom </strong><br />The Darkroom mode is for processing the image that we selected from the lighttable. On the left-hand side of the application, we can see navigation, snapshot, history stack, color picker, tagging, image information, and mask manager panels. On the right-hand panel, we can see the histogram and a list of modules available for working with the image. At the bottom of the right-hand panel, we can enable/disable the view of individual modules. The basic element of an image operation in Darktable is called a module. Darktable has more than 60 modules for all kinds of image manipulations.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-layzr="https://coolefriend.com/picsy/2020/04/mapmode.jpg" alt=""/><figcaption>The map mode</figcaption></figure></div>



<p><strong>Map and Print mode</strong><br />The Darktable’s map mode allows us to Geotag the images by placing them on a map via drag and drop. On the right, we can select between different map providers, like OpenStreetMap, Google and a few more. In print mode, we can prepare our images for printing. You can learn the Darktable using the <em><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://darktable.gitlab.io/doc/en/" target="_blank">user manual</a></em> or you can <em><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/releases/download/release-3.0.0/darktable-usermanual.pdf" target="_blank">download the manual in PDF</a></em> format. This video <em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzD965dTSvk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">tutorial by Rico on Youtube</a></em> will help you to pick up the basic video editing techniques easily. </p>
