How to Master the Art of Velocity Edits in Filmora?

In this tutorial, I'm going to be showing you guys how to create this cool velocity edit inside of Filmora 13. Many of you guys asked me how to make a velocity edit using Filmora 13, so here it is. 

Let's jump into Filmora and get started. Here, I added my videos and audio to the timeline; then, I added a few markers to my audio layer to match the audio beat. After that, I split this layer into two parts and added the velocity edit to this part right here. You can see this is a normal speed clip.

If you use normal-speed video, first, you need to bring down your video speed. You can do that; simply go to the speed and bring down the speed value you like. I change it to something like 0.3. 

After that, go to the AI frame interpolation and change it to Optical flow. I bring this layer here, go to the beginning of this clip, and press the I key on the keyboard to add the selection area. After that, I render this clip to see the result. Now you can see it has a smooth, slow-motion look. When we need to export this, I export only this part like this. After that, delete your slow-motion layer. 

Add your exported video to the Filmora. I drag and drop it to the timeline like this. After that, I add the speed graph to part of my beginning clip. I use this speed graph with the optical flow. Now, when I play it, you can see it starts at a normal speed and then slows down to match the speed of our slow-motion clip.

Now, we have to create our velocity part. First, I select my first beat and select the layer, then split it right here. Go forward and select the range you want to speed up. Select here and split it like this. I selected this part and added a "Flash in" graph to it. Go to the graph, select this point right here, and remove it. Drag this layer to here. After that, go to the second beat and split the layer like we had done before. Select the range you want to speed up and split the layer like this.

After that, add the flash in the speed graph and remove this point. That's how we can add the velocity look toward our videos. Here's what it looks like. After that, we need to continue the same process for other parts. I add it like this. After that, here's what it looks like. 

We can convert this video to Portrait. First, we need to change these layers to compound Clips. First, I selected my start clips and changed them to a compound clip, and I named them to start clips. I selected these layers and changed them to a compound clip, and I named them velocity clips. After that, let's convert this to a portrait. Go to the project settings and select "Change aspect ratio." You can change the ratio you like. I changed it to Portrait, then hit okay. 

We need to adjust the scale in position, so I selected this, changed the scale to something like 325, and adjusted the position like this. I will do the same thing for this clip. We need to adjust the position using keyframes. I go to the beginning of this clip and create a keyframe for the position. Go forward, and I will adjust the position like this. 

We need to add effect to this. First, I would like to add a mild effect, so go to the effects tab and search for a mild effect. Add it to this layer like this. I go to the effects settings and change the frequency value to 2. I adjust positions X to Zero, Y to zero, and keep position Z to 10. I disabled the "RGB Separate" and enabled motion blur. Now, we have a nice movement that looks like this. 

I like to add zoom-in and out movements. I go to the beginning of this clip and go to the scale. Create a keyframe on the scale. I go to my second beat, and I increase the scale to something like 400. I continue the same process like this. After that, open the key frame panel, and you can adjust the graph if you want. But I like to keep it as a default, so I didn't change anything here. Now, our velocity edit looks like this.

We need to add a flash effect to this. First, we need to add an adjustment layer. I add it like this. Select the adjustment layer and go to the color tab. Scroll down and select the light section. I use this exposure to create that flash effect. Here, I change it to 35 and create a keyframe. I bring this keyframe to start.

After that, I bring down the exposure to something minus 15 and drag this keyframe to the end like this. Go to the keyframe panel, select this first keyframe, and I will add the "Ease Out" preset to this. I take a duplicate of this layer and add it to other parts like this.

Now our main part is complete. We need to create our beginning part. I use this kind of low-quality look effect for this. Let's see how to create that quality. First, go to the effects tab, select new blue FX, select filters, then select this frame rate effect and add it to this layer like this. 

Go to the effects settings and change the preset to this 12 FPS preset. This effect helps reduce the frame rate on your video. You can see this effect gives a nice shatter look like this. After that, I like to add the same mild effect I added before. 

We need to add a sharp look to this. I searched for the "Strong Sharpening" effect in the effects tab, then added it to this layer. Go to the effects settings and change both intensities to zero. I keep the opacity to 50 and change the strength to something 15. Now it looks like this.

Finally, I like to add a flicker effect, so go to the effects tab, select video effect, select Shake, and then select flash black. Before adding this effect, we need to add the adjustment layer to the timeline. I add it like this. We can add our effect to this.

After that, I went to the effect settings and changed the frequency value to something like 20. Go to the compositing, and I changed the blend mode to soft light and also changed the layer opacity to something 20. Our velocity edit is complete. Here's the result. 

That's how we can make cool velocity edits inside of Filmora 13. You can see it's very simple to make, and you can add a few more effects to improve your edits.
