Video Editor

Create professional videos with a familiar timeline-based editor. Upload media, arrange clips, add effects and text, then export all with precise control and predictable results.

What you can do:

Edit videos with a timeline-based workflow
Create slideshows from images with animations
Add text overlays with customizable styles and animations
Apply effects, filters, and adjustments to media
Include background music or custom audio
Export in multiple resolutions (720p, 1080p) and frame rates

Use Video Editor when you need precise control over timing, layout, and visual presentation.

Quick Start

Create a project to organize your work
Upload media (videos or images) to the media library
Add media to timeline by clicking + or dragging
Apply effects using media controls (filters, animations, adjustments)
Add audio and text to enhance your video
Export your final video in your preferred resolution

tip

Start with a simple project using 2-3 media items. You can always add more complexity as you get comfortable with the timeline.

Use Cases

Video Editor excels at workflows requiring precise timing, layout control, and predictable results.

Ideal for:

Editing existing video footage: Trim, arrange, and enhance uploaded videos with effects, animations, audio, and text overlays
Creating slideshow-style videos: Sequence images on the timeline with animations and transitions to create engaging visual stories
Marketing and promotional videos: Combine video, images, text, and background music to produce short promotional content for products or services
Social media content: Create videos optimized for social platforms with precise control over timing, aspect ratios, and visual presentation
Educational and instructional content: Add text overlays, animations, and audio to explain concepts with precise timing and structure
Event recap videos: Compile photos and video clips from events with music and text to create memorable highlights

Best results when:

You need frame-level control over timing
Predictable, repeatable results are important
You're working with uploaded media (not generating new content)
You need to combine multiple media types (video, images, audio, text)

Projects in Video Editor

Work in Video Editor begins by creating a project.

A project acts as a container for all editing activity, including:

Uploaded videos and images
Timeline arrangements
Audio tracks
Text overlays and animations
Export configurations

Projects allow users to incrementally build, revise, and refine videos over time without losing context.

Media Library

The left pane of the editor serves as the media library. Users can upload and manage media assets here and reuse them across the timeline.

Video Media

Users can upload video files to edit existing footage. Uploaded videos can be trimmed, styled, animated, and arranged on the timeline.

Image Media

Users can upload images and use them as video frames. Multiple images can be sequenced on the timeline to create slideshow-style videos or animated compositions.

Media controls define how individual video and image assets appear and behave on the timeline. These controls apply to the selected media item and affect only that instance on the timeline, allowing the same asset to be reused with different settings elsewhere in the project.

tip

Combine multiple controls on the same media item to create unique effects. For example, apply a filter, add blur, and include an entrance animation for a polished look.

Media controls are deterministic. Applying the same settings produces consistent, repeatable results.

Opacity

Opacity controls the transparency of the selected media.

Reducing opacity allows underlying media or backgrounds to show through, which is useful for layering visuals, overlays, or blending elements within a scene.

Flip

Flip changes the orientation of the selected media.

Users can:

Flip horizontally
Flip vertically

Flipping is commonly used to correct orientation issues or mirror visuals for compositional balance.

Adjustments

Adjustments allow fine-grained control over basic visual properties of the media.

Available adjustments include:

Brightness: Controls overall lightness or darkness
Saturation: Controls color intensity
Contrast: Controls the difference between light and dark areas
Greyscale: Converts the media to shades of grey
Sepia: Applies a warm, vintage-toned effect

These adjustments are useful for visual correction, stylistic tuning, or achieving consistency across multiple media elements.

Crop

Crop changes the visible framing of the selected media.

Users can crop media using predefined aspect ratios to fit specific layout or output requirements. Cropping affects only the visible area and does not modify the original asset.

Effects

Effects apply stylized visual transformations to the media.

Pixelation effects are available at the following levels:

None
Low
Medium
High

Pixelation intensity can be adjusted to control the strength of the effect. Effects are applied uniformly across the media’s duration on the timeline.

Filters

Filters apply preset color and tone treatments to the media.

Available filters include:

Black and white
Vintage
Faded
Cool
Warm

Filters provide a quick way to achieve a consistent look without manually adjusting multiple properties.

Blur

Blur softens the visual details of the media.

Available blur levels include:

Light
Medium
Heavy

Blur intensity can be adjusted to fine-tune the effect. Blur is often used to de-emphasize background elements or create depth.

Animation

Animation controls how media enters, behaves, and exits on the timeline.

Animations are applied relative to the media's duration and timing.

Entrance animations

Fade
Slide
Zoom

Loop animations

Spin
Pulse
Bounce
Shake
Float

Exit animations

Fade
Slide
Zoom

Animations are useful for adding motion, emphasis, or visual interest to static images and video clips.

note

Notes on media controls:

Media controls affect only the selected timeline instance
Multiple controls can be combined on the same media item
Changes are reflected immediately in the preview
Controls do not alter the original uploaded media

Timeline Editing

After uploading media, users add it to the timeline to begin editing.

Media can be added to the timeline by:

Clicking the + icon on a media item in the library
Dragging and dropping the media onto the timeline

The timeline provides frame-level control over media placement, sequencing, and duration.

Edits applied to media on the timeline affect only that instance of the media, allowing the same asset to be reused in multiple ways.

Audio

Video Editor supports adding audio tracks to enhance videos.

Users can:

Choose from a library of available audio files
Upload their own audio files

Audio tracks can be arranged and timed on the timeline to align with video and image content.

Text

Users can add text overlays to videos.

The editor provides a set of predefined text styles. Text elements can be customized with options such as:

Font size
Animations
Shadows
Positioning

Text elements appear on the timeline and can be animated and timed like other media items.
