With this online video editor, you can do all the basics
of video editing such as cutting your video, trimming, splitting
adding audio.
You can also automatically generate subtitles for your video
and you can add easy elements such as progress bars and sound waves in just a few clicks.
Hey everyone.
My name is Alec.
And in this video,
I'm going to be showing you the best online video editor in 2021.
So video editing is becoming more and more popular with more and more people wanting to become online content creators
and video creators on YouTube, Instagram, Tiktok.
So in this video, I'm going to show you one of the best
online video editors in 2021, which is VEED.IO.
VEED.IO is a simple online video editor that allows you to create
professional video content for your social media and other
video projects.
It has a bunch of different tools and elements that were
designed to make your video editing experience as easy as possible.
And here's everything I'm going to talk about in this video with the time stamps in case you want to skip ahead.
First, I'm going to give you a brief introduction to the online video editor called VEED and I'm going to show you around its workspace.
Then I'm going to show you the basics of video editing. How to trim, split, change the dimensions.
Then I'm going to show you the automatic subtitles feature which allows you to automatically generate subtitles for your video
solely based on the audio of your clip using artificial intelligence.
Then I'm going to show you some of the easy customizable
video elements such as the sound waves and the progress bars.
Then I'm going to show you a couple more tips and tricks
and the export settings.
And with that being said, let's get started.
And by the way, I do want to mention that the links to VEED they're going to be in the description down below.
So right now, here we're in VEED and this is my workspace
and here we can see all the video projects that I am working on.
So as we can see, the videos are all here and I can easily sort them out and rename them.
To rename them, I just have to right click.
I can download them directly from here.
I can also move them into specific folders to sort them out and then delete them.
To create a new video project, all I have to do is click on Create New Project or New Project's in the top right.
Now because this is an online video editor,
all of this is stored in the cloud.
So this means that I can edit a video on one computer
and then I could go to a different Computer and continue editing the same video project with VEED.
Here on the left, we actually have the brand kit and this is basically where you can add some assets that you use often in your videos.
So for example, if you often use the Instagram logo or the
YouTube logo, I've added them as image assets
so I don't have to upload them every single time
and then you can also add your brand's colors and then you can also add a custom font if you wish to.
So now I'm going to go back to Projects and here we are going to create a new project
and I'm going to show you the basics of video editing.
So to begin a new project,
we're just going to click on Create New Project.
And now we're taken into VEED's video editor and this is where we can get started creating a video.
So here as you can see, we need to upload a video or audio file and we have a few different options.
First of all, and the one I use mostly is uploading the file directly from your computer.
Now with just like any other video editor, you need the video file.
So we're going to upload it from the computer.
But if I wanted to do it a different way, I can choose it directly from a different device.
I can also record it directly so I can use my webcam
or record my screen and then import that recording into VEED
or I can take a file directly from Dropbox.
And then one of my favorite features as well is you can paste
a public YouTube video URL and then VEED will import that YouTube video into VEED's video editor
so you can actually start working on that specific YouTube video
and make cuts and changes to that YouTube video without even downloading it to your computer first.
So to get started, I'm just going to click on Upload the Files and then here we're going to browse
through my documents until I find the video that I want.
So I'm going to select this video right here.
It's a podcast video snippet. I click on Open and as you can see it's now imported in to VEED.
Right here, we're going to change the names.
I'm just going to change this to Social Media Podcast
just like so and now if I click play.
"Hey, everyone. I hope you're all doing great.
Welcome to the Social Media Podcast.
I'm your host Alec..."
As you can see, we have my video within VEED's timeline playing back.
So this is a podcast snippet and let's say I want to post this snippet to Instagram.
Well, I need to change the video dimensions and the aspect ratio.
Let's say I want to make it Square. To do this, it's very simple.
All I have to do is go into the Settings tab in your left toolbar then under the Size drop-down menu,
we're going to choose Square.
However here we do have a bunch of different Preset aspect ratios that we can choose from.
For example, if I wanted to make this one video for Tiktok, I could choose the Tiktok aspect ratio
and then I can just click and drag it and place my video anywhere I want on the video canvas.
However, I want this for Instagram.
So I'm going to go back and select the Square 1:1
and now as you can see if I click on the video, the settings
for this specific clip open up and I can click on Fill the canvas or Fit the canvas.
I'm going to click on Fill the canvas
then what I'm going to do is click and drag this up.
So I have a little bit of space at the bottom for some subtitles.
But before I add subtitles to my video, I want to cut, trim, and split my video.
So as we can see, if I click play from the beginning.
"Hey, everyone. I hope you're all doing great. Welcome to the social media podcast."
Let's say I wanted to cut out the part where I say, "Welcome to the social media podcast"
Well, to do so, it's very simple. What I'm going to do is find the place with the play head where I want to cut.
"Hey, everyone. I hope you're all doing great."
So right here and what I'm going to do is just click the Split button and then it will split the clip at the play head into two separate clips.
So now I have two different clips.
So if I click play and now find the end position.
"Welcome to the social media podcast."
I want to cut it again right here.
Now again, I could click the Split tool right here or what I can do is just click and drag to trim off the end of this clip
So just like so and now as you can see we have a blank space in the middle, so I need to make sure I do is that
I select this clip and click and drag it back to the previous one just like so.
So now if I play it from the beginning.
"Hey, everyone I hope you're all doing great.
I'm your host Alec and in this pod..."
So I might want to trim off just a bit more.
Click and drag it back.
Now, let's see how it sounds. "Hey, everyone I hope you're all doing great.
I'm your host Alec and in this podcast..."
Perfect just like this.
So if you want to go through and there's more sections that
you want to edit and cut out, just repeat the same process.
Use the Split tool and the Trim tool and then just right-click
and delete or hit delete on your keyboard.
So now what I want to do is add a little bit of background music and to do this, in the left toolbar,
we're going to click on Upload right here and then I'm going to select Upload Audio.
But I do want to mention right here that these are the image assets that we've added.
So I don't have to upload these ones every single time.
So I'm going to click on Upload Audio.
And once again, I'm just going to browse through my documents
and then I'm just going to choose this one right here and now I click Open
As you can see, it's now imported into VEED and it's imported to where the play head is.
So it starts where the playhead is.
However, I want to change this.
So I'm just going to click and drag it all the way back to the beginning.
Now, you might be saying well, yes, this is great.
I've got audio but it's way too long.
So we're just going to do exactly like we did with our video clip.
We're just going to click on the end and trim it.
So we just click and drag
until it's roughly the same length as the video in the timeline
and then I'm just going to click on Fit to Timeline so we can make sure that we see everything precisely and I can edit it with more precision.
So now again, I just click and drag, Fit to timeline.
So this is perfect.
So now if I click play. "Hey, everyone, I hope you're all doing great.
I'm your host Alec and in this podcast..."
So this is perfect. But I think the audio is a little too loud.
So what I'm going to do is just select the audio
and then here I can actually just turn it down a little bit.
So let's say if I turn it down to 25% because I want light background music.
Now if I press play from the beginning.
"Hey, everyone. I hope you're all doing great. I'm your host Alec and in this podcast..."
This is perfect. Now up next we're going to use VEED's automatic subtitle tool
to automatically subtitle our video.
So to do this, we're just going to head over to the left toolbar and click on Subtitles.
And then here we're going to click on the Auto Subtitles tool
and then here we're going to be prompted to select the language
that we're speaking in within our video.
So in this video we speak in English.
So then we just click Start.
So now VEED is going to take anywhere between a few seconds to
a few minutes depending on the length of your clip to automatically
transcribe the audio from your video into text and turn that text into subtitles.
So as we can see now while I was talking there it just finished
and if I click play from the beginning.
Okay. So this is great.
However, there is a couple of things I'm going to change.
First of all, the very last word started is a subtitle on its own and I don't want that.
So what I'm going to do is just cut this out and then paste it into the previous one.
And then I'm going to copy the time stamp from the last one
and then paste it into the previous one.
That way it ends at the same time.
and then just delete the last empty one just like so.
And then again at the beginning here, we have this little extra
that I don't want so I'm just going to delete this and I'm going to click and drag this just like that.
All the elements we can just click and drag to adjust the timing in the timeline
or like I've just shown you we can manually adjust them by entering the numbers with our keyboard.
By entering the timings with our keyboard and what we can also do for an example
is place the playhead at the area where we want the subtitle to adapt to.
So, let's say I want this very first one where it says "everyone".
First, I'm just going to change this to "Hey, everyone."
You can edit it as if it was normal text anywhere else.
Then I can use this beginning stopwatch.
So as you can see if I place the playhead at 0 seconds,
if I use the beginning stopwatch for this subtitle,
it's then going to adapt the 0 seconds for the start time of that subtitle.
So now if I press play.
This is perfect.
Now, I want to change the styling of my subtitles and to do that,
all I have to do just click on it and then go into the Styles tab and here I can change the font.
I can change the font size.
I can change the colors.
So if I want to make them pink I can.
At the bottom, we have a bunch of different presets that you can choose from.
So one of my favorite ones is either this yellow one with a black outline or the white one with the black drop shadow
and then what I can do is just click and drag them to place them on my video canvas just like so.
So now as you can see, I've got a little bit of room for my subtitles.
However, I am going to change the size a little bit, make them a little bit bigger just like so.
The best thing is if I adjust the font for one subtitle, all of them will adjust to the same style.
So that's how to add subtitles using VEED's automatic subtitle tool.
If you want to download these as closed captions to have them as a separate SRT file,
all you have to do is go into the Options tab and here under
Download Subtitles, select SRT Format and click download.
However, if you want them hard coded into the video so burnt into so they're parts of the mp4 file,
that happens when you click Export, they will automatically be there for you.
So now I'm going to show you some of VEED's easy Elements
such as the Sound Wave and the Progress bar.
So the Elements here again, they're in the left toolbar and
we're going to click on the Elements tab and here we have
shapes, emojis, progress bars, and sound waves.
So if I choose to add a progress bar, let's say I choose
this little circular one right here. As we can see,
we have a progress bar and a circular form has just been added to the video.
I'm just going to click and drag to resize and click and drag to position it.
I want a position in the top left and you'll notice that,
let's say if I'm at the beginning of the video,
the progress bar is at the beginning. If I'm halfway through,
the progress bar is half completed and then if I'm at the end, the progress bar is also at the end.
So the progress bar is automatic.
It automatically adapts to the length of your video.
You don't have to adjust any key frames or add any affects, things like that.
So what I want to do next is actually change the color.
So again, I'm just going to quickly change the color.
Let's go for this pink and then the background one is going to be white just like so.
Then what a might do is actually change the background color of my video at the bottom
and a change it to this pink right here.
So now it matches with the progress bar.
And now, if I'm going to add the last element I mentioned which was a sound wave,
so here I might choose to add this sound wave right here.
So as you can see now if I click play .
Okay, so this is cool.
I've got the sound wave right here however I want to change the style.
So I'm going to change the formation to aligned just like so then I'm going to place it here.
I'm going to click and drag this down just a bit and I'm going to change the color.
You've guessed it to the pink just like so.
So either click and drag this down and now I press play.
I think this looks really good.
If I click on it.
I can also play around with the duration and again, you can
just click and drag it in the timeline and then you can also
adjust the decibel levels.
So for an example, if you think it's picking too much you can
turn this up so now it'll pick less.
However, if I turn the Max all the way down and say to -85, it will be picking a lot
just like so. So I'm just going to quickly move this back to 15 like that
and I think this looks pretty good.
So that was VEED's easy elements with the sound waves and the progress bar.
There's also a bunch more you can do you can add a bunch of text.
You can upload more images and audio you can also upload other clips you can add more clips to make a video compilation.
At the bottom here, we also have some filters and effects you can choose from
so I can change the filter on my video.
I can then adjust the amount.
However, I'm going to delete this filter right here.
And we also have some effects and a massive fan of this VHS effect. We've also got this Glitch effect.
We've got this Filmic, Dusty Film, RGB split, which I like.
However, I'm going to add no effect to this one right now.
I can also draw on my video.
So for example, let's say you're doing a presentation
and you're presenting something in your video.
You can just draw just like so. However, I am going to delete this
and then that is VEED and the basics of video editing.
Once you're happy with your video,
all you have to do is click on the Export button in the top-right.
However, if we go into the Settings tab,
here we can actually click on the Output tab and then we have a bunch of different settings we can adjust to export our videos.
So these are the export settings.
So for example, here we change the resolution because this is for Instagram,
I'm going to leave it at 2000x2000.
I'm going to turn the frame rate down to 30 because 60 isn't needed.
However at the top, we also have this dropdown menu which I love
which basically has a bunch of different
preset export settings for different social media platforms.
So for an example, I could export a video in 4k for YouTube.
However if for scroll down, I have the recommended settings for Instagram.
So I'm going to go ahead and choose this one right here.
And as you can see, I left mine in 2000x2000 but the dimensions
on Instagram are 1080X1080 and then it's just automatically
chosen the settings that we want.
And then once I'm happy, all I have to do is click on Export
in the top right. VEED then starts to render my video and then once it's finished rendering,
I can go ahead and download it from the online video editor in just one click.
And that is the Best Online Video Editor in 2021 and how to edit a video with VEED.
