Tips and tricks for editing your videos
Get started with an online video editor
Ready to dive in and edit your video? Animoto's free online video editor makes it simple to begin. Choose from a wide selection of video templates designed for effortless video creation, even if you're new to editing. These templates are fully customizable, allowing you to easily include your own photos, video clips, and text. Or, if you already have an idea in mind or a video that’s ready to be edited, feel free to start from scratch.
Match your brand or personality
Animoto makes it simple to adjust colors and fonts to reflect your personality or brand identity. If you're creating videos for your business, consider using a consistent color scheme to strengthen brand recognition. For special events or holidays, switch things up and add a personal touch with music. Animoto’s online video editor features a vast library of licensed music tracks for every mood, genre, or occasion.
Optimize for your destination
Sharing your videos with others is effortless using Animoto. Upload your creations directly to platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, or share them privately with friends and family. As you edit, consider tailoring your videos for the intended platform. For instance, square videos tend to perform well on Facebook, vertical formats are ideal for Reels and TikTok, and longer, widescreen videos work best on YouTube.
