The following steps can be followed to make a micro video short film:

1. Design the content. First of all, it is necessary to design a complete story outline to ensure that the content logic is clear and complete, and it matches the direction category.

2, shooting material. If it is a real person, we should pay attention to the natural transition of the mirror; If you don't need a real person to appear, you can use some micro-video production tools, which usually provide a lot of templates, as well as AI voice output character animation and so on.

3. Import and sort materials. Use video editing software, such as Swift Video Editing Software. After opening the software, click "File"-"New Project", select the video scale (for example, 9: 16 for portrait screen or 16: 9 for widescreen screen screen), and then import the video footage shot in the early stage. The footage can be added to the track and sorted by dragging the footage.

4. Edit the video. For the video shot in the early stage, there may be some redundant pictures. You can delete the redundant clips by moving the blue timeline to a certain point in time and then clicking the "Split" button.

5. Add special effects and music. In the editing software, you can add special effects such as filters, overlays, transitions, and background music to the video. These operations are to download the corresponding template first, and then add the specific template effects to the track.

6. Add subtitles. Click "Text", select the caption classification from the page, download a caption template, and add the corresponding caption template to the text track. Double-click the template in the track to edit multiple parameters of the caption, and adjust the corresponding caption position in the preview box.

7. Export and publication. Finally, the micro-video is exported and published to the corresponding platform, such as social software or video website.

8. The above steps cover the whole process from content design to final release, and can be appropriately adjusted and optimized according to your own needs and software functions.
