So to begin with, we need to first have a video file in order to edit it. To do that, we either click over here directly, and we are directed to the location where our video file possibly is. Or you can also click on the Import option, go to import media files and come to the directory where you have your video files. So I've placed some video files in one particular folder, I just use them. So I click on this video and I click Open. Now it takes a few seconds for the video to load onto your Filmora.
Once that is done, we will have to put it onto the timeline. Okay, so my video is now in the media area, we just have to drag it and place it onto your timeline. So while you are dragging it, you see it turns into this kind of a structure. my mouse pointer is clicked. So I leave with my mouse pointer and the video drags into the timeline. So in case you're getting some message like that, just click on match to media.
So it takes few seconds for the video to load onto the timeline. How would you know that the video is done with the loading is when you have the sound waves over here. So as you see, you can see some sound waves over here. So once that is done, I know that the video has been loaded onto the timeline. So let's just take a quick preview of what the video is all about. Do you know yourself?
Or do you aspire to be something you might actually not be? Your vulnerability or you just put in the work put in order put in the work. And that's it. It's just a process. So it's a motivational video by GAVI, what we're going to do now is in this section I'm going to teach you how to remove the unwanted part out of a video. So let's say for example, from the preview the video that we just saw, I do not want this section where he's talking to the boy.
Let's say I want to delete this whole section where he's talking to the boy. So I keep my pointer. So this is my pointer where it points to the location, I keep my pointer to where he just begins talking to him. So if I am not getting a proper frame, I can drag this or what I can also do is I can click on the next frame icon. So what the arrow that you see here is the next frame, the arrow that you see here is the previous frame. So I just keep clicking the next frame till I get the start location there.
So I think I've gone a little more ahead. That's it. So now I am pointing to the location where the part that I want to delete begins. So you have to now click on the split Consider you see the scissor like structure, this is called a split. So when I click the split, this part of the video separates from the rest of the video. So now let's see I want to remove this whole section and again start watching it from this part.
So I get it to the location where he's done talking. So I go forward frame to catch the exact frame there I don't need that part at all. So I will go next frame till the next kind of frame comes into the picture. So I am at the location where I want to separate the video from one section to the other. So I click on the split there that's separated. Now this is the center part which I do not want, which I want to delete from the video.
So I simply click on the section and click hit the Delete button from the keyboard, you will see a blank space that comes in. All you need to do is drag that portion the back portion and drop it. So now if I have to hear this, it's going to be like that, then you might actually not be we're just so that was a proper cut. So in the next part of the video, we are going to see how you're going to crop a video. That is how you're going to remove certain extra parts of the video frames.
