How to edit your videos like a pro.

1.

Choose your online video editor.

Upload your own clips or browse thousands of ready-made templates. Start creating with stock footage from our limitless library. Then, get to editing.

2.

Customize your video.

Need to add some flair? That’s where styles, stickers, filters, and text comes in. Not quite the right specs? Crop and trim or switch up the aspect ratios to your liking. Vimeo’s quick video editor can take you from raw clip to polished final cut in minutes.

3.

Publish to your fave social platforms in a single click.

Time to get to video sharing. Save and send to your followers, use clips in your marketing, or embed your video on your website. Most importantly, reach your audience wherever they are.

4.

Optimize, organize, and repeat.

Once the video editing is done, you can make your videos a home. Create embeddable gifs from your favorite clips. Optimize your videos until they’re just right. Try out Vimeo’s easy-to-organize folders and a whole suite of intuitive tools that make video hosting a breeze.

“A video ad that would have previously taken weeks of planning, writing, scheduling, and editing can now be accomplished in a matter of hours, saving both time and money, the two most precious resources for any business.”
