But who has so much time to wait just to preview a clip? Maybe this is the same problem when trying to preview individual clips. Wait long enough (in our case, over half an hour for a video with a 1:30min runtime) and we could start to see a preview of the completed work. For some reason, our video only previewed a series of still thumbnails. But once done, you get a little video preview which you can play at will. The process takes a little while to happen as your movie gets rendered. This makes it pretty hard to see if the alterations you’re making will be beneficial to your final output. We tried it multiple times ourselves and couldn’t get past 0%. It’s all simple enough, but there’s a problem though: click on the play button to see the results of your changes and you might have to wait a long time. You get to select its duration, style, and even motion. This is also the place where you get to choose a transition to come in or out of your clip. You also have an ‘effect’ button to add as many filters to your chosen clip as you’d like. This is where you gain access to cropping tools, alter its opacity, rotation, change its volume, and playback speed. Select a thumbnail and click on the cogwheel icon to manipulate that particular clip. The final column on the right is labeled Preview, which gives you thumbnails of your project over its length.

You have a column for Music, one for Background, another for Main and one for Text. The whole interface has a top down feel which can be confusing. If you’re used to more traditional video editors, you’ll think of your project’s timeline as something to build from left to right. (Image credit: Future) Video editing in a browser
