Welcome to Part 3 of my 14-part Edits series where I'll show you how to trim, split, and add clips so you can post your first video ✨ Here's why this matters: These are the fundamental editing skills every creator needs. Once you master these basics, you can create polished content without feeling overwhelmed. Here's what you'll learn in this video: 1. Trimming clips - Select your clip - Drag the start time and end time - Keep only what you need 2. Splitting clips - Tap onto the clip - Split it where you want to make cuts - Perfect for removing pauses or mistakes 3. Adding overlays (B-roll) - Layer clips on top of your main footage - Adds visual interest and context - Makes your content more dynamic 4. Moving clips around - Tap and hold to rearrange - Change the order anytime - Complete creative control Why these basics matter: You don't need fancy effects to create good content. You need clean edits, good pacing, and the ability to tell your story clearly. These three skills give you that foundation 🤎 Love, Theresa – your biggest cheerleader! 🤎 💙 Next up: Recording voiceovers — Part 4! 📌 New to the series? Start with Part 1 for the full app overview.
