Blake, I just came across this video and then saw the entire final video (the finished product).... it brought tears in me ... what a way to bring in life and energy among the little souls to keep them together and alive in spirit during those difficult moments. And certainly there couldn't be a better choice of song, than "we are one" sisi ni moja! .... hats off... May God bless you and all those little angels...
Thank you so much for your help! I think many people - myself included! - are undertaking a steep learning curve at the moment, switching their teaching to online platforms. This has saved me a great deal of time for some of my music projects. Thanks again. Much appreciated.
Hey, Blake. Thanks for creating this tutorial video! I did a really short practice video and found it to be fairly easy. Thanks for sharing. Cordially, Music Teacher from Wentzville, MO.
Fabulous! Looks easy enough to tackle. I'm going to get my staff to perform a graduation song for our Grade 6 grad ceremony and this will be perfect for putting the video together. Thank you so much for sharing!!!!
Great Video. OpenShot is free editing software and it allows unlimited tracks which you can simply select and ask it to lay them out equally on the screen automatically. Much quicker.
Good video! :) As an FYI, Hitfilms Express is free and has more features that WeVideo. It might make your job easier should you do something like this again.
This is super helpful. But I have a newbie question. In this video, you demonstrate using videos with audio in one track. But you mention in previous comment that you used separate audio & video tools for your choir video. Is that how you got such a good sound? I am just practicing with videos that I made myself, but it sounds so dry. I want to add a small amount of reverb or something to make it sound more choral. I don't see the ability to do that on WeVideo. Can I? And if you edit audio & video separately then you have to sync those back up, right?
Tania Mannion correct. This is a very basic tutorial. I used Pro Tools to edit audio (but you can use Garage Band or Audacity) then I edited my video in Sony Vegas. This is how I got the clear sound. I added reverb and equalized the tracks a bit.
Can I ask what video editing software you recommend for most flexibility in sizing and number of tiles or boxes? Were you happy with WeVideo? I'm also looking at OpenShot, Movavi, Filmora, or maybe even paying for Premier Pro. It's my first time, but I do see myself doing this more than once.
erasmiav I used Pro Tools to edit the audio, then I used Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum for the video. I just used WeVideo for this tutorial since a lot of people have access to that software online.
Blake, at 16:20 it seems as if I can hear the multiple soundtracks playing while you are singing. Forgive me if I missed it, but you ask all your kids to listen to your audio with headphones on and simply record their singing, correct? Otherwise it seems the sound would eventually get jacked up with all those tracks playing in the background.
Thank you so much for the video Blake! I'm thinking of doing the same thing with my choirs! Do you know by chance the max number of videos/tracks you can put on one screen? For instance, I have 60 kids in 5th grade choir.
Hey Ethan! I’m glad you found the video informative! I do not use WeVideo super often, but when I have tried adding a bunch of video tracks I have gotten over 60 tracks before. You should be good to go!
I am a K-5 elementary chorus teacher and would very much like to create a virtual chorus video for my chorus. As this is the fist time I am attempting this project using WeVideo;I wonder I could use flipgrid to get students to record themselves, that way I could collect all their recordings in the flipgrid. Another question regarding creating a guide track for them when they record their singing, is it necessary to get them to count aloud and clap on beat 4 then start singing? Would that helps with the editing so that you could see on the audio file where they clap and start singing?
Wow, I'm so thankful for your help and your finished product is gorgeous! One thing I didn't catch... How do you have some students showing for certain sections but maintain the vocals of everyone throughout?
I actually edited all of the audio in a program called ProTools first. Then I edited my video in a program called Sony Vegas. You could import one student video at a time on WeVideo, hit the finish button, save just the audio, then import all of the individual audio tracks into audacity or garage band (or any audio editing software) and mix the audio first. Does that make sense?
Thanks, Blake! Good video! I am following your instructions. But I still haven't been successful. Even closing all tracks, I am having rework. its seems like not saving. There are 52 singers. Any tip?
Lydia Moraes Yes, some people have run into this issue. I would suggest saving a handful of singers at a time. Maybe 20 at a time. Then you can upload that video of the 20 singers and continue adding more. Does that make sense? One person did this and had a successful final product.
Hi Blake, I am trying to put together a virtual choir. I already have an audio and trying to do video part. I do not see the grid option on my screen. But I downloaded a free version. Do I need a paid one? Is so, which one allows to combine many videos? thank you.
Blake, Thank you for this informative video. Once I have imported all of the videos from the children, how to I show all of their faces on the final video?
Hi Blake, thanks for the informative video! I'm trying to put together a virtual choir but I don't know which version of WeVideo would work. The options are, "power" "unlimited" "professional" or "business." Do you happen to know which of those would be best? Thanks!
@@blakerichterproductions no worries. But yes, the cheapest option says, "Single seat license , publish 30 minutes per month, 720p HD resolution, premium editing features on desktop, iOS and Android, motion titles, and create square, vertical and horizontal videos."
This is an amazing tutorial. I would love to edit and share your HyperDoc with my students. May I please use your videos or would you like me to create my own?
Carey Evosevich Yes, you can use my videos! You may have to download them first and upload them to your own google drive first. There have been issues with that in the past
Great video. Every time I try to mix or balance one audio track with the other tracks, the playback stops. Can you mix the audio of a track in real time?
Hello. Thanks for a very instructive video. I have tried as you show, and it works ! I just have one problem. After I have moved the sound tracks to syncronize the sound, the videoclips are not syncron with the sound. Have i done anything wrong ?
Hey there! Awesome video! I’m doing a virtual choir for the jazz choir at my school, could I reach out to you for help? I’m doing this voluntarily for internship hours, and I could use the advice. Thanks

No problem! I am happy to help!
I watched the final video, and it was amazing!
Thank you so much for taking the time to help us connect with our kids through this. Sincerely, thank you.

Thank you Blake!
Thank you for this! Very useful!
Thanks! I hope to learn how to do this with a vocal quartet.
Thank u so much. This helps a lot.gonna try this out

Did you get a classroom WeVideo subscription? Or are they able to record videos regardless?

@@blakerichterproductions thank you very much for your attention! Still working it 🥴

We are trying to do a healthcare heroes tribute I have no idea if what I am doing
Blake, Thank you for this informative video. Once I have imported all of the videos from the children, how to I show all of their faces on the final video?
That is addressed in the video. I showed you with just two videos, but you just keep repeating that for as many kids as you have.

For Wevideo, what did you buy? IE, power, unlimited, professional, etc
I believe our district has the education version.
Hi! Can you actually put several videos at the same time? Like 4 people singing together, all of them on the video - tiled? Thanks!
Did you watch his video entirely? He shows you how to do that in WeVideo.
Great video. Every time I try to mix or balance one audio track with the other tracks, the playback stops. Can you mix the audio of a track in real time?
I would suggest mixing the audio in a different program. I use Pro Tools, but some free options are Audacity on a PC and Garage Band on a Mac
@@blakerichterproductions I do use Audacity. I was just hoping I could mix the audio in real time in WeVideo. Thanks for the fast response.
Steve Russo Yeah, WeVideo isn’t super high tech. You can mix levels, but no EQ or reverb
Hello. Thanks for a very instructive video. I have tried as you show, and it works ! I just have one problem. After I have moved the sound tracks to syncronize the sound, the videoclips are not syncron with the sound. Have i done anything wrong ?
Thanks!
I made a track with the voices so can I use wevideo and use my track with the voices I made in garage band and then line up the videos?
Yes!
Hey there! Awesome video! I’m doing a virtual choir for the jazz choir at my school, could I reach out to you for help? I’m doing this voluntarily for internship hours, and I could use the advice. Thanks
For sure!
I was really frustrated with wevideo until now. But I would like the Hyperdoc. Thanks!
It is in the description box of the video! 😁
Which version did you pay for with WeVideo?
Our district has the WeVideo Schools Plan.
Where is the how to doc for students?
Did you use a click track with your audio?
No. If you check out the google doc in the description box, it has the exact videos the students viewed and the exact audio the students listened to.
What level of membership to WeVideo do you need to do what you’re doing?
Our district has the WeVideo Schools Plan.
You have the same name as one of my friends!
Is this the paid version of wevideo?
hi baby
Enough with the "up-speak"... Seriously.
