Remodelling your home is one of the biggest tasks after building it. After months of sweat and tears, you get everything furnished according to recommendations for a healthy home and looking the way you wanted it to.

After so much effort, everything feels so comfortable and looks great. You might probably like to take some photos and videos of your newly-renovated home, right? Don’t fret! You don’t need to be an expert to create professional-looking videos. Today, it’s easier than ever to create great videos with minimum expenditure using minimal equipment.

With a basic smartphone or camera, suitable lighting, the right techniques, and a bit of imagination, you can make gorgeous videos of your newly-renovated home. 

Useful Video Editing Techniques to Use for Your Newly-Renovated Home

As we mentioned above, you can shoot good videos with a basic camera or smartphone. But once you have shot your video, it is the editing that can make all the difference between a mediocre or a great video:

Label the Bits and Pieces

You may have shot your video over a few days or weeks. Now, you are faced with a whole lot of footage, trying to figure out what you have and what to do with it.

Before you even think of editing, add labels to all the video files downloaded from your camera or smartphone. It means that you would have to view each video file to check the contents. But in the long run, it will be worth it.

By labelling everything you have, you will avoid inadvertently deleting your video content. Once you have everything labelled, you can create files and folders to keep everything in order. Now, you are ready to start your editing work in a much more organised manner.

Maintain a Backup

You never know when your computer may crash, or a memory card can get lost or damaged. If you’ve spent a lot of time shooting your video, you wouldn’t want to lose it all because you only had one version of your footage.

The first thought is to save a copy of your video footage in cloud storage. But cloud storage has limitations on file size and download speed. Therefore, it would be a good idea to store your data in an alternative physical location like an external hard drive.

Start With the Best Parts

Undoubtedly, you want to start with the best footage and filter off the unattractive stuff. However, one of the best tips that you can use is to start with your best footage. After going through all your available footage, make sure to put the best parts in the beginning.

You can spread out the mediocre, less-striking footage throughout the rest of the video. It makes your video attractive and draws attention to the best features in the video.

Use Effects and Transitions Sparingly

Today we have access to great free editing software that allows you to add transitions and special effects to your videos. It is a very interesting and perhaps the most exciting part of editing videos.

But you need to avoid overdoing it. For most of the part, simplicity is key. With the wide range of editing software that you get today, it’s tempting to go overboard using it. However, overdoing it can make your video unappealing.

A wipe here, a fade there, and perhaps a dissolve between two shots should suffice. Use the right effects at the right moments. With a bit of experimenting, you will surely get it right.

The Art of Storytelling

Just as we tell a story in written content, video creation also calls for the same treatment. Your video should tell a story. Let’s assume, for example, you are making a video on the best recommendations for a healthy home. Then, you need to arrange the footage that revolves around that concept.

Show the viewers how you wanted a neat, clean and healthy home. Tell them how you looked for an idea and finally achieved your objectives. Without a story, your video would be a random collection of video clips that wouldn’t make much sense to your audience.

Therefore, even before you start shooting, you can create your storyline. All you need to do is stick to it while shooting and maintain the same while editing the video.

Add a Good Soundtrack

The best way of making a video look professional is to add a suitable soundtrack. Music creates the required ambiance for a video.

You will move from room to room in your newly-renovated home with your camera or smartphone. Later, as you view the footage, you can add appropriate music to your video to suit the location where it was shot.

It is said that half of the effect of a video depends on the music, so choose your music theme carefully and make sure that the quality is good. You can avail of unlimited royalty-free stock music from the internet. With a bit of experimenting, you can add music to your video that will even add to the visual effects.

The Colour Factor

Another important factor to consider while editing videos is colour variation. Some of the best videos are those that play around without the viewer even noticing the editing. With a hastily put-together clip, the editing becomes obvious.

One of the most important aspects of editing a video is handling colour. When a camera moves around, especially when shooting is done from one day to another, the light will vary. It changes the colour shades in the video.

Fortunately, video editing software takes care of the difference in colour by providing colour grading through filters. You might need to practice a bit in colour correction, consistency, and grading.

But once you get it right, you will find that you can blend the difference in colour in your video to give a consistent viewing experience to your audience.

The Art of Trimming

In video editing, half your job is done if you know how to trim clips effectively. It is an extremely critical operation in video editing.

Once you have all your footage lined up in separate clips, you need to stitch them together. During this process, you would want to remove unnecessary frames where nothing much is happening.

You can also view your video carefully to detect spots where someone stutters or the camera shakes. All this can be eliminated with careful trimming, and it will add continuity to your video, maintaining a natural flow.

Conclusion

As we mentioned at the beginning, you don’t have to be a professional video editor to create and edit great videos.

After remodelling your home with interesting innovations, wardrobe design ideas,and perhaps a refurbished kitchen, you might want to show it off to others. You can easily make a video using the right technology, a few appropriate techniques, and a bit of creativity.

Next time you make major modifications to your home, make sure to record your experiences and share them with your near and dear ones!
