Making the Layout

This method is the most boring method but also the most helpful. Video Star gives you hundreds of choices to choose from.

  1. Make a plan. If you are going to have yourself sing threw the beginning, you shouldn't just change effects for the heck of it. Try singing out your window or change the clothing you wear. All of this should be sketched/planned out ahead of time.
  2. Examples, add these ideas into your plan...
    • A dance scene where you go all out, have a sibling or friend dance with you
    • Bed scene, where you sing and just fall onto your bed
    • Reverse scene, (see reverse method)
    • Stunt effect, have yourself take a "risk" and get blown up with the action movie app, you can later insert it to your video
  3. Add a gimmick to your video, every once in a while you need one, (see Gimmick)
  4. Order it appropriately, such as these examples
    • Title, normal singing, stunt, reverse, gimmick with singing, dance
    • Title, normal singing, dance, reverse, stunt, bed, gimmick, normal singing again
    • Title, dance, stunt, gimmick, stunt again, bed, normal singing, big stunt

Does it ever get annoying when that video star logo appears in the end of your video? Well, It won't bother you any more! Here is how you can get rid of that logo, once and for all.

  1. Launch your music video; Open up video Star.
  2. Tap the gear and open up settings
  3. Scroll down and switch the logo button to off
  4. Now when you play your video, you will no longer see that logo!

Coming up with a Gimmick

These are not steps, just gimmicks to add to your singing to make it all flow better.

  • Need a snow breeze? Place baby powder in your hands and spin, a cloud of smoke will breeze by while you sing.
  • Romantic run? Place a fan angled up at your face to swish your hair back and forth, add pretty colors to straighten your eyes
  • Add a split screen. Just position the camera, film yourself on one side, record a new clip of yourself on the other side, merge clips together, its important you don't move the camera or have any thing moving in the background for it will interfere with the split screen effect.
