How to make a video using Clideo

Your videos, photos, and favorite songs help you remember and feel some event over and over again; that's why they are so important. From time to time, we all visit a phone or computer gallery to browse through them.

Why not create a video out of the best memories to share with friends or the whole world on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube? Or to share the most special moments with your best friend via WhatsApp, just to make them smile? There's no need to wait for someone's birthday to do that, right?

Especially since there is an online service that lets you create videos without the hassle of downloading or installing software on your Windows, Mac, Android, or iPhone.

Drag and drop images and video content to Clideo

Go to Online Video Maker by Clideo, click the "Get started" button to navigate to the editor screen.

First of all, upload your pictures and other video content you might have. The tool gives you the possibility to upload files from different locations by several methods:
- Drag and drop the files from a folder on your computer or laptop to the website page, or copy and paste them — super simple;
- Click the "+" button and select files from your computer or phone;
- Use the social media buttons to choose files from your Google Drive or Dropbox account;
- Film your own video or voiceover using your web camera and external microphone by clicking the "Record" icon in the navigation sidebar. Start recording without leaving the page.
Make your high-quality video

Now you can adjust the canvas for your video projects. For example, if you plan to share your video on YouTube, select 16:9; if you are creating a reel or shorts, select 9:16. Change the canvas background color if you create a video collage.

Then edit your footage. Change the order of the assets in the timeline and adjust for how long they should be displayed using the yellow handles. Or use the "Time" tab in video options for a more granular timing control. Other options are available as well: you can crop, adjust colors, and resize all the elements freely.

Use the music library to add audio

Upload a music track of your own or select one that fits from the built-in music library. Search for the music that corresponds to the mood.

Select the track in the timeline to trim it to the video length and adjust the sound volume.
Make your video creation process fun with text, stickers, and GIFs

If you want to add text, use the "Text" tab in the left-side navigation bar. Use the text templates or change the text as you need (including font, size, color, text background, and opacity).

You can also add various elements to your video. Find funny stickers, GIFs, emojis, and shapes in the "Elements" tab.
Export your first video version

When you are ready, click the "Export" button, select the output quality you need, and wait a moment while the tool is doing its thing.
Download the created video

You can watch the video to make sure that you like it. If so, click the "Download" button to save it to your device, or click the arrow to save to cloud storage. If you do not like it, simply go back to editing.
