Open a new project in your non-linear video editing software program to learn music video effects with moving images. Locate video footage on your computer hard drive for a music video using the capture options menu. Import this video footage into your non-linear video editing software program. Repeat the capture options menu step to import one MP3 song and JPEG file into your collections panel.
Click on the MP3 song and drag it to the audio section of the timeline. Click on your JPEG file and drag this image to the first video track on your timeline. If your video editing software has a separate section for titles or graphics, use this track for the JPEG image instead of a video track. Click on your video clip and drag it to the first video track on the timeline. Place it after the JPEG image on this timeline. Scroll to the end of this timeline to make sure your video clip meets the end of the MP3 song. Click on the video clip and select a trimming tool to drag the footage forward if it does not match the length of your MP3 song. Review these two elements again to make sure the content on your audio and video tracks match in length.
Select the "Fade" option in your video transitions menu. Add this fade at the beginning of your video footage clip to bring it up from a black screen. Split the video clip into 30 sections on the timeline. Add a shattering transition between the first and second video clip. Select a grayscale effect from the video effects menu and add it to the first clip of footage. Modify the color spectrum of your first 10 video clips so that each piece of footage has its own solid hue. Place a cross-dissolve transition between the 10th and 11th video clip. Place a second shattering transition between the 11th and 12th video clip. Add motion to all video clips from the 12th to 29th position of the timeline. Place a cross dissolve between these clips. Change the color of the 30th video clip and fade to black as the MP3 song ends.
Scroll to the beginning of your timeline. Press the play button on the video preview screen. Watch the entire program to make sure your music video effects are presented smoothly without glitches or awkward pauses. Adjust your video edits on the timeline if necessary and preview the finished piece again. Export the timeline as a movie and save it as a video file on your external hard drive. Close your project and save it using a title similar to the music video. Move the project and all related files to the external hard drive for storage.
