Hello Salem, my name's Winifred. What's yours
K for starters you need your movie in the right order you want it...got it? Good

Secondly you might want to think about the music or narration you plan on having on it

Thirdly open up your movie file and right click on one of the clips, click on video effects. Here you will find a whole list of effects to change your selected clip. Play around with them, mix 2 together and see what you find. Once you've found one you like see how it will look when used in your movie and maybe how the effect will look on other clips too.

Number 1 rule you must remember, try not to use effects just because you can. Overloading a movie is a big mistake because if done incorrectly it make just make your film look rubbish. Use an effect because it looks good and compliments your movie not just because it's there.
