One thing we found lacking was an absence of audio levels or audio meters. It’s a shame the background used for these previews is a generic one, and it would’ve been more interesting to see a preview of what a selected clip would look like with a chosen effect applied to it. The preview pane is replaced by a sample of your chosen effect/transition/title/etc. You can preview each and every one of these effects by clicking on the one you’re interested in. It’s also easy to retime those animations to fit your edit. Many of those titles are animated, helping you create fancy effects in seconds.

Titles work in the same way, but you can also easily customise them, like changing their position on the screen, alter the text, font, colour and size, all by selecting which section you’d like to change in the interface’s main Preview pane. To add them to your edit, just drag the one you need to the selected clip. Movavi Video Editor comes with a generous collection of filters and transitions which you can preview by clicking on their icon. Many customisable titles are available to add to your project (Image credit: Movavi) Titles and effects This is not acceptable for precision work. Repeat this a few times, and you’ll see the hundredth of a second value changes each time even though you revisit the same frame over and over again. Try this yourself: move the Timeline’s playhead forward one frame, then make it go back one frame. To make matters worse, this division isn’t consistent. The developers had an extremely puzzling decision to not display the timecode in frames, but rather by hundredths of a second.

In order to help you create frame-accurate edits, this software allows you to navigate your work on a frame by frame basis using keyboard shortcuts, although those that are included could be simplified, and there sadly isn’t enough of them (editing with a mouse is always more time consuming than via a keyboard). These actions are non-destructive and dragging a clip’s edges outwards will restore the previously cut segment. Alternatively, you can click on a clip to select it, move the playhead over the desired area and click on the Split button (the one shaped like a pair of scissors). Movavi Video Suite comes with numerous editing tools, all broken down by category (Image credit: Movavi)Įditing clips is as you’d expect: you can trim their In or Out points by clicking and dragging their edges inwards.
