Editing 5 Creative Perspective Tricks
Forced perspective is the technique of shooting things in a way that makes them look a certain way then are revealed to be completely different to what you originally thought.
It’s a great technique to learn and use and can be done easily as long as you have a few basic things.
You need a tripod or at least some way of shooting so that the camera can be fixed in one place with no movement.
You need editing software that can handle masks, green screen and possibly blends modes. Once you have all that all you need is imagination.
How to Remove Copyright Claims on YouTube Videos
If you have spent any time as a creator on YouTube it is more than likely that you have had to deal with some kind of copyright problem.
If you are not actually using copyrighted elements to your videos especially when it comes to music then theoretically there should be no problem right? Wrong!
The trouble here is that with the sheer number of videos being uploaded each day there is no way YouTube humans can keep up with it all.
From YouTube’s point of view they are in constant danger from claims by copyright holders for illegally using their content.
Remember, if they don’t pull it down fast then they are open to litigation.
So that means they use bots to crawl their platform constantly and if something is “close” to what they think “may” be suspicious then they just dump responsibility for clearing the questionable content on you.
The other problem here is that there are large organizations running their own content scrapers on the site automatically submitting copyright claims as well.
Some of these organizations actually own the copyrights they are protecting and other less desirable ones are just doing it as a scam.
The scam is that they submit a copyright claim and YouTube then directs any income from the video in question to the scammers!
So if you use YouTube it is best to understand the process and how to deal with any copyright claims effectively.

Filmora 12 Beta Walkthrough
The people at Wondershare are gearing up for the next major release of Filmora which will take us to version 12.
You can see some of the new features on the video below and thankfully they seem to be sticking to their original selling point of keeping the software simple.
By that I don’t mean that it is underpowered or lacks features.
Adding features is something that all editing software makers do because both market and marketing demands make it necessary.
However the way in which those additions are made is the important point.
It is very easy to end up with a wildly complicated and visually daunting user interface unless you add those features in a way that keeps things clean yet still accessible.
From the look of it, everything looks pretty cool from an existing user viewpoint and approachable for the newbies.
