How can I edit clips in the Full-Featured Editor?

Use the timeline in WeVideo’s full-featured editor to trim or split clips, rearrange their order, and delete or duplicate content. You can also add and customize transitions, close gaps between clips, and use undo/redo or version history to adjust your edit. Think of the timeline as your home base for all editing in WeVideo.

How It Works

The full-featured editor offers a wide range of clip-editing actions. The sections below explain how to use each tool effectively.

Add a Clip

Drag and drop media onto the appropriate timeline track (hold Shift to select or add multiple clips). You can add Essentials clips, imported media from My Media, or other Media Library assets.

• Add videos, images, text, and transitions to Video tracks
• Add music, voiceovers, and sound effects to Audio tracks

Add Transitions

Open the Transitions tab, preview your options, and drag a transition to the beginning or end of a clip. You can also right-click a clip and select Add transition; clips between two others will receive transitions on both sides. Select a transition to adjust its type and duration, and apply changes to one or all transitions.

Remove a clip

Select the clip and click the trash can icon or press the Delete key.

Trim a Clip

Drag a clip’s edge to shorten its duration. After trimming, remove empty space by selecting multiple clips, right-click, and selecting Close Gaps.

You can also pre-trim audio or video clips before adding them. Simply right-click the media in the search panel, select Trim, preview your clip, then add it to the Timeline.

Split a Clip

Select a clip and click the scissors icon to split it at the playhead.

Duplicate a Clip

Hold Shift, then click and drag the clip to duplicate it.

Version History

Use Undo and Redo to fix mistakes as you edit. To restore an earlier version, open the menu and select Version history.
