8. Editing time!
Once you’re done filming, you can open your footage in any video editing app and start editing your film. Free video editing apps we recommend:
- iMovie
- PowerDirector
- Adobe Spark
- Adobe Premiere Rush (similar to the very popular Adobe Premiere Pro, but free!)
Here are some instances when you’ll want to edit your footage:
- Cut out any “Action!” or “Cut!” at the beginning or end of clips
- Cut out any outtakes or bloopers—save them for the wrap party!
- The Rule of Boring: If you’re re-watching a shot and get bored, make a cut and change it up
Tip: Ask friends and family for feedback during the editing process!
