In this one-hour class, Nikki Stephens will provide an overview of Dissolve's stock footage library and show you how to use it to create compelling video stories. You'll learn the three most effective ways to use stock footage – to add emotion, show the passage of time, and show what you say – as well as basic editing tips for smoothing, ordering, and adding music to your clips. By the end of the class, participants will have the knowledge and skills to create a short custom video of their own. This class is perfect for artists eager to experiment, brand marketers eager to liven up a pitch, or videographers looking for footage they can't capture on their own.
