Import and edit an mp4 or other video

Can I import and edit an mp4 or other video?

Yes, with Deluxe, Premier, and Max Plans you can import a video file to use in the editor.  The videos you import must be in one of the following formats:  .mp4, .mov, .webm, .screenpal, or .somrec.

To import a video, open the Project Manager and click the Import icon in the toolbar at the top left.



Next, select a video file in one of the approved formats and click Open.
The imported video is then displayed in the Video Projects area for you to edit.
