3 Ultimate Tips with Compound Clips in Filmora! | Wondershare Filmora 13?

Hey everyone! This is Chloe from Wondershare Filmora. Today, we're diving into three incredible ways to create editing magic using Compound Clips in Filmora 13. If you haven't downloaded Filmora 13 yet, start by visiting filmora.wondershare.com or click the link in the description. Let's jump right in!

Sequence Editing

The most common way to use Compound Clips is for sequence editing. Imagine you're creating a montage video of your recent trip to three different countries. You can divide your project into three different scenes, one for each country. Then, using Compound Clips, you can edit each scene in its own environment. One of the best parts is that you can use as many layers as you want while keeping your main timeline nice and clean.

Once all three scenes are roughly edited, you can return to the main timeline and make large-scale changes to the project easily. Flow and rhythm are key to making a montage work, and using Compound Clips allows you to move around your scenes and rewatch them in different orders to find the one you like best. At any point, you can return to each scene and make changes as needed.

Color Correction

The second powerful timesaver with Compound Clips is color correction. For this project, we will use a more traditional workflow and separate each scene by location. Now, zoom out in your main timeline and perform your first pass of color correction on the Compound Clip itself. The main advantage here is that you have one effect applying to the entire Compound Clip, which you can easily edit and adjust later in your workflow.

Of course, you can also dive into the Compound Clip to make minor adjustments to each shot. This workflow allows each scene's color settings to be managed independently and changed at the macro level whenever you want.

Visual Effects

Finally, Compound Clips are fantastic for creating visual effects in Filmora 13. Let's create a screen replacement effect to make it look like our subject is doing something different on their monitor. Start by setting up two layers: your base layer and your screen replacement. Turn the screen replacement into a Compound Clip.

In the main timeline, you can resize and move the entire screen replacement easily and add effects to help it blend in, like a blur. Inside the Compound Clip, add other effects like reflected light to complete the look. The best part is that you can change the screen replacement content at any point in your project, which will automatically update in the main timeline.
