I chose to film one of my friends, her son, and them working with essential oils since I have recently gotten into them as well. They really work! Once my friend came over, I had my phone out and just casually filmed/took photos whenever I felt like I could potentially use something. Later that night, my husband helped me put the photos and videos onto his computer. From there I was able to click/drag/order the motion sequences and stills into the order I wanted. I was able to next record my own voiceover easily (thanks to Audacity!) To lower the audio in the motion sequences, I highlighted the sequence and clicked on the sound icon above the preview window, then selected the option to lower the volume. I added a title and credits page by clicking on the background options. and a dissolve/cross-fade to the last still by clicking on the transition options. Lastly, I adjusted the time by highlighting the portion I wanted and dragging left or right.
