Favorite Actor Highlight Reel Tutorial

I had so much fun creating this video that I thought that it would be fun creating a tutorial to give people a little insight on how to do it! What you have to do first is decide what actor/actress you are going to pick! For mine I did Tyler Perry as Madea! Then what you are going to do is go onto YouTube and find clips from your favorite moments from that actor/actress. It can be from one movie but it would be best if it was from different to see the adversity in the actor/actress. Once you pick the clips you are going to then use a tool known as: 4K Video Downloader.

It is super quick and easy to download and all you have to do once you get it is copy the link and paste it into the downloader that looks like this:

From there you will click on the video and play it to make sure its working and then save it to your Desktop or folder so that you have an easier access to it! Then you will enter into either iMovie or Windows Media Player! For this tutorial I will be using iMovie.

Next you will import the media by clicking file then import media. Screen Shot 2015-12-04 at 7.32.08 PM

Once all of the clips are in you take out the favorite parts of each clip by selecting it which you see in the yellow and there will be a plus sign that will appear in the right corner for you to add it. Then as you see in the 3rd image above you can drag the videos as you please in a particular order and even add titles and transitions to the video.

Once you are done with that the video will be done and all you have to do is share it! On iMovie you can share it through email, YouTube, etc.
