Undo / Redo & Saving Projects

 

💾 Undo / Redo & Saving Projects

Editing involves a lot of trial and error — sometimes you make changes you don’t like or accidentally delete something.
That’s why knowing how to undo, redo, and save your work properly is very important in Filmora.

🔁 1. Undo an Action

If you make a mistake (like cutting the wrong clip or deleting something), you can easily undo your last action.

Methods:

  • Click: the Undo icon (⤺) at the top toolbar.

  • Shortcut: Press Ctrl + Z (Windows) or Command + Z (Mac).

Note:
You can undo multiple steps in order — Filmora remembers your recent actions.

🔄 2. Redo an Action

If you undo something by mistake, you can use Redo to bring it back.

Methods:

  • Click: the Redo icon (⤼) on the toolbar next to Undo.

  • Shortcut: Press Ctrl + Y (Windows) or Command + Y (Mac).

Tip:
Undo and Redo make it easy to experiment with edits without worrying about losing progress.

💾 3. Saving Your Project

When working on long videos, always save your project file. This ensures you can reopen and continue editing anytime.

Steps:

  1. Click File → Save Project or press Ctrl + S.

  2. Choose a folder location.

  3. Enter a project name (e.g., My First Video).

  4. Click Save.

Filmora Project File Extension: .wfp
This file stores your editing information — not the actual videos.
So, don’t move or delete your original video files after saving the project!

📁 4. Save Project As (Duplicate Copy)

If you want to keep an alternate version of your work:

  • Go to File → Save Project As...

  • Rename it (e.g., My First Video – Final Version)

This creates a new copy of your project.

💡 5. Auto Save Feature

Filmora automatically saves your project at intervals to prevent data loss during crashes.
You can find Auto Save Files here:

  • Windows: Documents\Wondershare Filmora\AutoSave

  • Mac: Movies/Wondershare Filmora/AutoSave

You can adjust the Auto Save interval in:

File → Preferences → Save → Auto Save Every (X minutes)

✅ Practice Task:

  1. Make a few random edits and use Undo (Ctrl + Z) to reverse them.

  2. Use Redo (Ctrl + Y) to restore them.

  3. Save your project with the name MyPracticeProject.wfp.

  4. Try the Save As option to create a backup version.

Introduction to Computer

Image
Computers are electronic devices that are designed to process, store, and retrieve data. They are used for a wide variety of purposes, from personal computing to complex scientific simulations and industrial automation. A computer consists of various hardware components, including a central processing unit (CPU), memory, storage devices, input/output (I/O) devices such as keyboards, mice, and displays, and various other peripherals. Computers communicate with each other over networks, which are interconnected groups of computers that share resources and information. The internet is a global network that connects millions of computers around the world and enables communication and information sharing on an unprecedented scale. The field of computer science is concerned with the study of computers and computational systems, including their design, development, and application. It encompasses many subfields, including artificial intelligence, computer graphics, databases, programming lang...

Computer Generation

 There are five generations of computer:  First generation– 1946 - 1958  Second generation– 1959 - 1964  Third generation– 1965 - 1970  Fourth generation– 1971 - today  Fifth generation– Today to future The First Generation   The first computers used vacuum tubes for circuitry and magnetic drums for memory, and were often enormous, taking up entire rooms.  They were very expensive to operate and in addition to using a great deal of electricity, generated a lot of heat, which was often the cause of malfunctions. The Second Generation   Transistors replaced vacuum tubes and ushered in the second generation of computers.  One transistor replaced the equivalent of 40 vacuum tubes.    Allowing computers to become smaller, faster, cheaper, more energy-efficient and more reliable.  Still generated a great deal of heat that can damage the computer. The Third Generation  The development of the integrated circuit was ...
