How to Use the VEED Video Editor: Full Tour | VEED.io for Beginners Course Part 3 ?

Introduction

The VEED video editor is packed with powerful and easy-to-use tools for creating stunning videos online. In this lesson, we will take a detailed look at all of its main features. This section provides a brief overview of the primary tools, and in later lessons, we’ll delve deeper to see how they work in practice as we create a video online.

Video Upload and Timeline Overview

In the previous lesson, I uploaded a simple video file from my computer, which opened up the video editor. Once uploaded, the file appears at the bottom of the screen in the video timeline. This timeline displays all the elements of your video, including video files, text, and animations you’ve added. You can use your mouse to move the playhead and view any point within the timeline, which is displayed in the playback window above. Play the timeline content by pressing play or hitting the spacebar on your keyboard. You can also click or drag anything in the timeline to reposition it.

Useful Tools Above the Footage

Sitting above your footage are several useful tools:

• Add Media Button: Upload additional material.
• Split Tool: Cut your clips.
• Adjust Audio Levels, Zoom, and Fit Timeline: Over on the right-hand side of the play button, adjust audio levels, zoom in and out of your timeline, fit your timeline to the screen, or show sound waves on your clips.

Naming Your Project

It’s a good practice to name your project at the top of the screen. This helps in easily locating it later in your workspace.

Additional Options and Toolbar Features

Above the playback window, you have undo and redo buttons. You can invite colleagues or friends to join your project, and access export settings in the top right corner. On the left-hand side is the main toolbar, where you’ll find all the powerful video editing features.
