Add Audio

You will need background audio for all of our footage so for that, you need to quickly add audio before dragging your videos down to the timeline. Because the sample videos are intense, so choose upbeat audio to match the music with the energy of the players in the sports video.

Go to Audio > Beat Music > Go big or go home (you can add your favorite audio considering the type of sports video you have imported onto your Filmora 11 timeline.

Right-click on the song, and hit beat detection. Drag it down onto your timeline. You will see red markers which show the beat detection points indicating a change in the beat.

Mark the introduction and beat drop parts in your audio so merge it with the imported video.

Step 4
Adjust the Speed

Go to Media > Align the video. Drag the team introduction video down first, and adjust the speed ramping to merge the audio. Click on time > speed > speed ramping. Go to customize, and add a keyframe. Drag the keyframe to adjust the speed. You can increase the speed according to the audio beat.

Match all the markers and adjust the speed by increasing or decreasing the slider.

After the introduction video, drag down the other videos which include videos of the players playing. Adjust the speed similarly as demonstrated above. Drag the sliders in the speed ramping section to either slow down or fast the videos.

Add Additional Effects

After adjusting the speed ramping of all your imported footage, it’s time to add some additional effects to tie the sections together.

Go to Effects > Vintage > Vintage X process (you can choose any vintage effect of your choice). Add the effect on the top track to add some interesting colors.

You can also adjust the intensity of the grain effect by double-clicking on the effect and lowering the slider towards the left.

Add Light Leaks

In the videos, where there is no action, it is suggested to add an interesting effect like a light leak which increases audience engagement in your videos. The light leaks also add some sort of creative digital movement to your videos.

Go to effects > Light Leaks > Light Leak 1 (or choose any light leak effect which you prefer according to your video).

Finish with Transitions

To make your videos look fancier, add transitions to tie the sections of your videos together. Go to the transition menu > Glitch > Glitch Intro effect (or you can add any glitch effect of your choice).
