Sports videos are always epic. We have some intense actions going on, we got some teamwork and it’s always fair that we bring out some awesome effects. Let’s see how we can take a sports video and use some simple effects and transitions to make it look a lot better.
We will be turning and transforming sports video into something epic such as a trailer or something you would see in Hollywood films. Let’s jump into the Filmora and see how this effect is done.
You have two videos of sports where people are playing basket balling. You will choose a video for there are a lot of actions and these effects will look cool on them. Track the first video into the timeline and make sure to always match to media and the same thing for another video.
How to Make Sports Edits Videos
What you need to prepare:
- A computer (Windows or macOS)
- Your video materials.
- Filmora video editor
Download and Install Filmora
Go to chrome, download, and install Filmora for free. Filmora is available for both, Windows and macOS computers.

Import Sports Videos
After downloading Filmora, launch the Filmora timeline and import two sports videos onto the timeline. Choose those sports videos which involve a lot of action.
After the successful import of the video, drag both videos down onto the timeline and always make sure to match the resolution to the media.

Adjust Speed Ramping
The next step is to thoroughly see both videos and choose points where you want to add effects. For example, you have two videos. In one video, the ball is thrown up in the air and the basketball match starts. And in the other video, a player scores a point by putting the ball into the basket.
In the first video, double-click the point when the ball is around to be thrown up in the air. Double click on the video, go to Speed > Customize > Speed ramping. Adjust the speed of the frames according to your video.

Add Transitions
Add a transition in the point between the two videos. Go to transition > Speed Blur > Blurry Roll 2. Make sure to choose a transition that has arrows on both sides, and not on one side only. You can choose transitions of your choice and according to the video that you have chosen to edit.
Drag the transition between the two videos. Adjust the duration. The shorter the duration, the faster the transition.

Adjust Speed Ramping in the Second Video
Adjust the speed for different points in the second video after adding a transition between the first and second video.
Observe the movement of the players in the video and mark the points where the speed needs to slow down or where it needs to increase. Drag the keyframe in the speed ramping and adjust the speed accordingly.

Focus on one player in your video and don’t let that player go out of sight from the videos. To keep the player in the spotlight, cut the extra bits of the video where the player to be focused is covered by the other players in the video.
To adjust these sections, you can add transitions of your own choice in between these sections to tie up the sections that you deleted from the videos.
Add Effects
Right after adjusting the speed in the second video, notice the point when the player is about to throw the ball up toward the basket. Mark that point, go to Effects > Glitch > Digital Glitch Effect, and drag it in between the two videos.
The faster the duration, the faster the transition so you will get a glitch effect right before the player is going to score a goal.

You can add more glitch effects where you need to split the video into different sections so that the video transitions smoothly to the next section of the video.
Add Overlays
To tie the video together, go to Effects > Overlay > Light Leak > Travel Chic overlay (you can choose any overlay of your choice. Similarly, you can add Blue Flare effects and more effects to tie different sections of the video together to give a more presentable look.

Adjust Color and Sharpness
For adjusting the color grading and sharpness, you can go to Effects > Epic > Stylish Apocalyptic Effect and drag it down to the top track. Now you are finished with adding effects to your sports videos making them look like a creative highlight.

Just like the highlights of big ceremonies, sports highlights have become very important in this digital era. Your short clips from your matches can turn into a creatively designed highlight to give it a look as in the commercial advertisements, so don’t wait and add these fun effects to your sports videos in Filmora.
