Video editor built for social media

Create highly engaging videos for social media right inside your browser.

Comes with in-built image and video search, hundreds of amazing special effects, and instant previews. Now you too can make amazing professional videos without having to learn complex video editing software.

Layout

The layout is similar to PowerPoint. Instead of having a one-long timeline, you can divide your video into more manageable slides.

This area is called the stage. This is where you put your text, image, video, etc using these buttons here.

You can resize or move these elements around using your mouse like this.

This area under the stage is called the timeline. It's tells the video editor when to show or hide each element. When you select an element it highlights its start and stop time. Like if I select this text, I can see it will start showing up at 2 seconds and then disappears at 4 seconds.

To get an instant live preview of your slide click this play button here or just press the space bar.

When you select an element, notice the buttons on the toolbar change too. You can use these to add animations, change font, add borders, shadows, filters and more.

Click outside an element to deselect it and restores the original toolbar buttons.

To animate text, first select the text element. Then as the buttons change, click the special fx button here.

You can now choose your favorite text effect using these tabs here. You can also randomize the effects by clicking this option.

Like text, images and videos can be animated too.

Sound

There are two ways to add a sound in your video. The first option is to attach a sound to an existing element.
