Multi-Track Support Allows Freely Video Editing
MiniTool MovieMaker 8.0 now supports 9 video tracks (1 main track and 8 subtracks) and 2 audio tracks (1 main track and 1 subtrack) altogether, empowering you to create videos more flexibly. With these spaces and layers, you can decorate your videos with any combination of small video clips, beautiful photos, fascinating effects, natural filters, funny elements/stickers, dynamic motions, functional transitions, informational captions, vivid title/credits, as well as pleasant sounds/music. It’s a place where you can show your imagination and creativity.
With multi-track supported, you are able to create “complex” videos with easy steps. For example, you can make a picture-in-picture video by simply overlapping more than one video clip or picture within the same period. Therefore, viewers will see different images at the same time. Such kinds of videos are popular in video game commentary and vlogs. Making PiP videos catches up on the trends and brings you more viewers!
The new update also makes it easier to manage your tracks. You can lock tracks to keep them safe from accidental changes and add or remove extra tracks as needed. The main video and audio tracks stay in place, so you don’t have to worry about messing them up. It’s a smoother and more flexible way to edit your project using MiniTool MovieMaker 8.0.
Moreover, you can add effects, filters, elements, motions, and texts to the timeline where there are no video or photo added and save them into a video. Now you have better control over the timeline tracks than ever before!
Manual Adjustments Grants Precise Video Editing
In the new version of MiniTool MovieMaker, basic, color, audio, elements, transition, and text properties can be adjusted by inputting specific values. Exactly, you can manually type in values for video/photo rotate degrees, scale percentages, contrast, saturation, and brightness; audio fade in/out seconds and volume percentages; transition duration seconds; as well as text opacity percentages. All these enable a precise adjustment to your video components. Thus, you can get your specific needs satisfied in a shorter time!
Additionally, the newly added time scale makes frame-by-frame video editing possible. Just put your playhead at the target frame, then add your desired effects, stickers, texts, or sounds. Time scale is also very useful for splitting or trimming a clip. With it, you can precisely cut off unwanted parts, which significantly improves work efficiency!
Preview Window Offers Intuitive Video Editing
MiniTool MovieMaker 8.0 enhances the functionality of its preview window in the Player section. It permits you to directly edit your videos, photos, texts, and animated elements there. Therefore, you can resize, relocate, or rotate the video or photo on the screen while previewing the result in real-time. For texts and elements, you are able to change their sizes, locations, display angles and more. Editing video onsite provides a totally different creation experience!
Comprehensive Guides Enable Effortless Video Editing
MiniTool MovieMaker new version still offers humanized guidance. When you launch MiniTool MovieMaker for the first time, the walkthrough interface will appear, guiding you to create your video step-by-step, which is very friendly for beginners. You can re-access the walkthrough anytime from the top Help menu.
The Help menu now includes a new video tutorial portal, offering step-by-step instructions on video editing with MiniTool MovieMaker. Additionally, the online user manual is still available, providing detailed guides with screenshots for all features in MiniTool MovieMaker.
Miner Changes Optimize Video Editing Experience
When no clips on the timeline are selected, the upper right corner of the software displays the video project information, showing the project name, file location, resolution, frame rate, color space, and duration, giving an overview of the current video editing project.
Switch to the timeline area, when you can adjust the title and credits length on the timeline track. Simply drag the edges of the track, you can extend or shorten the duration of your video. Of course, you are allowed to specify their contents to meet your requirements, creating an attractive start and exquisite ending for a deeper user impression.
Besides, you are able to slide the split icon (scissors) on the playhead up and down to prevent it from bothering your editing process, enabling you to focus on what you are working on.
Additionally, you can see the duration of the clip on the timeline when your mouse hovers on it, no matter if it is a video, photo, audio, text, element, effect, filter, or motion. However, this does not apply to transitions. If you want to view or edit the duration of a transition, you can go to the Transition Property in the upper right section when the target transition is selected.
Lastly, you can adjust the timeline panel height to show more tracks you are editing, so you don’t have to scroll your mouse up and down to shift from one track to another. This brings convenience and saves time.
