You can choose different types of media for your project. It doesn’t have to be a video. You can create a cool video by importing multiple pictures, choosing suitable transitions, and adding music or other sounds.

When you import media to the project, you can edit it. Click on the imported video or one of the images, and they will get a yellow frame. On the right, you will find the available editing tools, such as the scissors icon indicating a tool for trimming. You can also crop the video, speed it up, rotate it, and more.
