Step 2. Trim Your Footage

Add your clips to the Timeline. If your clips have some extra footage you want to delete, then click the "scissors" icon. Move the blue markers to set the new start and finish for your clip.

Use the arrow buttons to move a frame forth or back

Step 3. Enhance Your Videos

In case your clips look too dull and dark, enhance them in a click. Just hit the Edit button, then switch to the Enhancement tab. Check the Auto Enhancement box to improve the quality of your video.

A few slider drags will make your video look crisp and juicy

Step 4. Color Correct Your Clips

Your videos could use some color correction? Then do it like a pro. While on the Enhancement tab, hit Correct Colors Using Curves. Tweak the Brightness channel to make your video lighter. Switch to the RGB channels to either bring out a certain hue or get rid of a color cast.

You can click View Source to see how much your clip has transformed

Step 5. Crop Your Footage

Have unsightly black bars on your video or just want to zoom in on something beautiful or dramatic? Then highlight the piece you want to crop, then pick up the crop tool. Choose the Free Crop option and set the new borders for the frame.

Cropping can improve not only pictures, but videos as well

Step 6. Add Zest with Effects

Switch to the Effects tab. Browse through the available filters. There are effect options for every taste: vintage, toning, lighting, Lomo, black and white variations, and even popular movies color palettes. Pick the one that would suit your footage. Drag and drop the effect to your clip.

Effects and filters will give your footage a distinct look

Step 7. Pick a Soundtrack for Your Movie

Want to add a tune to your movie? Then click the Add Audio Files button to pick a music track of your own. Alternatively, go with one from the software’s library. Clipify comes with a vast selection of tunes of any genre and tempo. There are over 200 tracks that are all free to use.

Don’t underestimate the importance of a well-chosen soundtrack

Step 8. Insert Title Cards and Captions

Switch to the Text tab. Use the Text tool to add any kind of text to your video. Go with the predesigned styles or create your own. Want to use pro-looking title cards like in Hollywood flicks? Switch to the Titles tab and add a title you like to your movie.
