Edit video
To start to make your video, select your assets in the library and drag and drop them down onto the timeline. If you’re looking for a way to get polished results quickly, you can use an Instant Project template. Once your assets are on the timeline, you can review and trim your video clips, add transitions, effects and more. In the Navigation area of the Player panel, click Clip, and click the Play button, or drag the scrubber along your timeline to move to a certain point in your video. Before you add video effects, trim and position your media how you want it.

Add titles to your video
To add a title, drag the Scrubber to the position you want and click the Title button to the left of the Library thumbnails. You can type directly in the Preview Window, but the easiest way to get a professional-looking title is to drag one of the title thumbnails from the Library to the Title track in the Timeline and then add text.

Add transition to your video
You can add transitions between clips or between photos for a better viewing experience. Transitions can be a great way to fade in or fade out or to dissolve one photo into the next. There are many transition options to choose from in the transitions folder in the library. Drag the thumbnail for the transition you want to the Timeline and place it between two clips or photos. You can then adjust the speed of the transition.
