Choose the right tool to edit your video

Before opening a video editor, decide what you want to change. Do you need a shorter passage, a different frame or readable subtitles? FlareClip’s tools page is a directory of separate tools. Choose the one that matches your task, rather than expecting the directory itself to be a timeline editor.

1. Keep just the passage you need

Use the video trimmer when you already know which continuous section to keep. Choose your own or an authorized video, preview it and set the start and end. Listen to both boundaries so you do not cut off the question or the last word. This is a time edit; it does not crop the edges of the picture.

2. Change the shape of the picture

Use the video resizer to change the ratio and framing. For a vertical version of a wide recording, inspect the person and any screen text across the whole selected passage. A vertical frame can hide details at the sides. If the goal is only to shorten the recording, keep the original ratio.

3. Put subtitles on the video

Use Add subtitles when the words need to appear in the picture. Choose the available subtitle options, then check names, numbers and timing against the sound. Keep the text readable without covering a face or a demonstration. Editing subtitles onto a video is a different task from simply changing its frame.

4. Preview first, then process

Open the chosen tool and select a supported video file, such as MP4, MOV or WebM. Check that the local preview plays and that the settings match your purpose. Follow the tool’s sign-in and allowance or cost information when you request processing. The directory’s example images do not show what your own result will look like.

5. Check the file you will actually share

After processing, play the finished version and check its beginning, ending, sound and any framing or subtitle changes. Download the version you checked. If you need another tool afterwards, use a confirmed output file that the next tool accepts; do not assume separate tools share one editing timeline. Keep the original video so you can return to it without relying on earlier exports.
