• Edit: The property panel will be extended to the bottom line in this mode.

• Short Video: Best suit creators who intend to upload a short-form vertical video.

• Classic: for people who like the way it looked with the original version of Filmora.

• Dual: This mode works best for people who are accustomed to multiple monitors.

Resizing Panel Groups

If you want to resize any of the panels, drag the resizing icon at the borders between each panel to
adjust to your preferred fit.

97 of 455

When you import a media file, Filmora may ask you to create a proxy file to accelerate your
editing process.

A proxy file is a second media file smaller than your original file. Usually, more timeline
efficiency will be required when the video has a very high resolution.

Creating a proxy file can lower the video resolution in the editing to accelerate the whole
editing process without affecting the final export quality.

03 Creative Ways to Utilize the Tool

Motion tracking can be used in animation. The feature allows you to break down a moving person or
object into separate, identifiable parts.

It helps to create a stored motion template. You can transfer that motion template to an animation. You
can keep the elements you want and replace others with the desired images.

Most people only need text to add details or even a touch of humor to their videos.

14.6 Change Playback Quality
You can adjust the playback quality of the Preview window for a smoother editing experience. For
example, you can improve the performance of your preview by playing your video at a lower resolution
than you want for your finished project or by creating proxy media files to edit with.

Proxy files are more manageable versions of your clips that are easier to edit because
they are smaller in terms of data (i.e. they are at a lower resolution). You can edit with a
proxy file in Filmora, then export with your full-sized original clip.

If Filmora detects lags, it will prompt a message to ask you to lower playback quality.

Reducing your playback quality can eliminate lags and save you time. Click the playback quality
control menu, and then choose from these options:

444 of 455
 Full: preview your video without changing the original resolution
1/2: preview your video at 1/2 the original resolution
1/4: preview your video at 1/4 the original resolution

The reduced playback resolution only applies to the video preview and will not
affect the export settings.

 14.7 How to Mark Clip
Markers can be used either while you are recording or during the post-production, to help you mark the
places in the footage where you've made a mistake, where the new take starts or to indicate a spot on
the timeline where you would like to place a particular video clip.

Timeline Makers

The timeline markers, on the other hand, can only be added to a project during the post-
production period.

You can utilize them to highlight the parts of the video clip you want to remove from the final
version of your video or to mark the spots on the timeline where you'd like to switch from one
take to another.
This type of marker is immensely useful if you want to organize the timeline in your project
better and to know exactly where every clip you want to use in your video is located at all
times.
Besides being a highly efficient tool for organizing vast amounts of footage, timeline markers
can also help you denote the beats in the audio file and then sync the video clip perfectly to
the beat of the tune you're using as a soundtrack to your video.

 14.9 What is Proxy Video Editing
Once all the video clips you'd like to use in your next video are transferred from the camera to a
computer and organized properly, you can start thinking about the most efficient way of piecing them
together.

That's where the creation of proxy files comes in, as you don't have to work with the original size RAW
files. Instead, you can create proxies that are significantly smaller than the video files your camera has
captured and still export the video in the 4K or UHD resolution.

 14.11 Preview Render Files
Preview rendering reduces the preview lag which can occur when editing complex or high-resolution
projects.

This results in smoother playback. Filmora offers 2 ways to render your timeline preview:

Index
01 Manual Render (Render Preview)

02 Auto-Render

Manual Render (Render Preview)

Click the Render Button to begin rendering your timeline whenever this red line appears (as when you add
media or make other changes to your timeline).
 The render preview window will pop up, showing the render progress and the estimated
remaining time.

Once the rendering is complete, the red line will turn green.

Note:
You will need to wait until the rendering process is finished to continue editing.

Auto-Render
Besides manually clicking the Render Button, you can also use a feature called Background
Render. If you enable it, your videos will be rendered automatically when you add your videos to the
timeline for editing.

You can go to File-Preferences-Performance, set a starting time, and enable it.

By default, the render process will be performed after 5 seconds of inactivity on the timeline.

Click OK to save your settings.

The rendered parts of your timeline will be indicated by a green line. The line will be
red for the un-rendered parts. Once you change, modify, or add effects to the
you’ll notice
rendered the line turning red to indicate you need to render again.
