I’m Ready to Start Editing Stories! Downloading free or low-cost software.
Audio:• Audacity• Levelator
Video: Good examples: • VSDC Free Video Editor, which works fairly well and has a less
intimidating interface • Filmora/Wondershare is a good low-cost option at $39.99 per
year or $59.00 for a lifetime license• iMovie comes on some up-to-date Apple products• AdobeSpark for short video, text, images
Working in Audacity
• Free sound editing software
• IOS and Windows versions
• Easily mixing different audio
segments into one
soundtrack
• Click and drag to select clips
from a story.
• Click ‘delete’ to get rid of it!
