How to use the FREE Windows 11 Video Editor - Beginners Tutorial

[@iveniaa]

I just created my first video and was overwhelmed with editing. You gave everything that I need to start. Very clear, concise instructions. Thanks very much.

[@TeachersTech]

You are so welcome!

[@jayasmrmore3687]

So I am having an issue. I have videos in mp4 format and it is not letting me add them to the project library.@@TeachersTech

[@richardcosta539]

I've been struggling to put together a slide show and came across your video. Excellent! I had no idea that I could make a video with music from my pics and videos so easily. Very clear and concise tutorial.

[@johnbauer4761]

Thank you Teacher's Tech for taking the time to post his tutorial. I used the editor for the first time to make my "Actor's Reel" for auditions and your tips help immensely. Keep up the great work!

[@ryteker]

I wanted a simple, straight forward, No frills (well not too many) video editor that would be easy to use, as I would only use irregularly for occasional KZbin content. All the others free (or free trial) apps that I tried were well very advanced, confusing, and had to keep ‘re-learning’ every time I wanted to produce another video … VERY frustrating. I did not appreciate that there was a ‘built in’ free editor in windows 11, so finding your tutorial was an absolute god send, thank you so much for your efforts, it is much appreciated.

[@jefferylhess7728]

Thanks!

[@DemetriPanici]

I remember the days of classic Windows Movie Maker

[@TeachersTech]

I knew so many people who started editing on movie maker.

[@StevenTorrey]

It was simple, easy to work, no time limit for video size, effective--so of course, it had to go!

[@johngrund2567]

One of the colossal problems with Windows, is that they randomly choose to move things around . . . for who knows what reason. Start button . . . same place for ages then . . l just move it from where everyone knows. I mention this because videos like this would be so much more helpful if the rug wasn't yoinked out from underneath you. The foundation of the look of the loadout & where everything is has changed. There are zero schedules of when things like this may or may not happen. You could launch your computer & if it had auto updates on; you never know what you're going to get. Thank you for the video, I wish the layout of Windows Video Editor had not been manipulated.

[@herculean6748]

I am not able to see any option for video in the editor, there is just a photos section, why so??

[@jenisia3600]

Ikr, fuk this app

Just starting a KZbin channel, with out your video I'd be nowhere, can't thank you enough ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Awesome job. You instruct like a drill sergeant,detailed, precise, informative and professional. So glad I SUBSCRIBED! Thank you so much . Please keep up the great work Sergeant

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This is perfect timing and you made it so simple. I also really appreciate the time stamps for reference! :-)

Wow, well explained, great teaching. Thank you.

My Windows Editor in Windows 11 does not have the Videos tab at the top left like yours. It only has Photos. Is there something I am not seeing?

[@herculean6748]

same, my Windows 11 also does not have a video tab, it has only photos. Don't know what happened if you got to know please tell me

[@gaillarkin7409]

This video is outstanding. My husband and I took a long time to totally absorb and try out as much as we could. Will probably be referring to this video again.

[@normbrag]

One of my favorite teachers, always a great help,.. I too just went to Windows 11... Thank you for all you do...

[@cathf6746]

Just bought W11 -- thank you so much for this tutorial 🙂

[@ScooterGirl2022]

Absolutely fantastic tutorial. Thanks so much.

[@susanhale5094]

This was absolutely wonderful!! I had been a user of Windows Live Moviemaker back when they had it, and really missed it. Your tutorial is a perfect step by step as to how to do everything the program offers. Just made a cute video of momma woodchuck and her seven little 'chuckles' using the cartoon font and the clown music. What fun! Thank you for this excellent tutorial.

[@dennisle8225]

Hi , I am on windows 11,but found that the video Editor is entirely different from what you show in your video, can you please advise . incidentally it ask to use Clipchamp which is not so easy to use.

[@TeachersTech]

I’ll have to make an updated video!

[@dennisle8225]

@@TeachersTech Thanks a lot

[@herculean6748]

@@TeachersTech can you give the link to the updated video

Im new to computers and just picked up a hp envy x360. I cant find the video editor?? I found clipchamp but even after watching videos i cant figure it out. Any input would be appreciated, thanks!

[@KarolynAbbott]

You made this soooo easy! Thank you. :)

[@JoeHarkinsHimself]

It is very frustrating that Microsoft has forced an update that replaced this original, easy to use, Video Editor with the complex monstrosity that is ClipChamp. I wish there was a way to get it back.

[@Moximous1]

There is kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnamkKullrx8jdE that vid should help

[@harrymane9354]

Thanks man! You really helped me understand how this new Windows app operates. I had no idea when I tried a simple trimming of a video the first time. (I really missed the old Movie Maker). Thanks!

[@1dagoods]

Bruh!! I've always wanted to learn how to do this! I am so excited to apply your easy directions. Thank you, I will let you know how it goes. Infinite gratitude & blessings. What do you have new for 2023? I am now a subscriber. :"}

Can you suggest how to reduce or compress the size of video

Thanks so much! This will make a work project SOOOOO easy!

[@ndrphotos]

Thank you. Will I be able to apply transitions between photos?

[@thomasnrgaard3614]

Is it possible to add transitions in between images / small movies so that one fades out while the other getting more clear? So you avoid the "hard" and sudden transitions

[@bobi2582]

No

[@pipimandi]

Hi, I have window 11 enterpriser and do not see the editor the same thing as your video does! Video and Pics are all in but no buttons for editing etc. so I am stock! must be something missing? Thanks for you good show.

[@willozcreations.9064]

Try searching for microsoft clipchamp I had the same issue too with my new PC

[@mommyskitchen]

How to you get the custom music to fade out as the video ends instead of just stopping in mid song as the video ends? I can't find any fade in or out for custom music.

[@lenovovo]

Hey dude, I was just thinking, I have watched quite a few videos of yours, and I bet that you are working for a company where you are making at least 70 to 80 thousand dollars a year because of all of the knowledge that you possess. Thanks dude for sharing your knowledge with us, you are greatly appreciated!

[@TeachersTech]

You are very welcome 🤗 happy to help!

[@mmaennche1]

I am guessing they removed this feature because when I do this all it brings up is the photos tool. No video editor.

[@58bobby]

Correct - now it's a different app called ClipChamp.

[@krisbayona]

Does this video editor have a transition effect or none? i was trying to look for ways in adding one especially if the transition from one video is totally diffirent it kinda looks off 😅

Hi Jamie! Thank you so much for your amazing videos! Can this editor be used for large projects? I have up to 1.5 TB of video and photos, and would like to create a video slideshow combining both video and photos. Would you mind if I asked if the editor you showed in this video is the right one?

[@eddievalentin6678]

what audio files does windows 11 video editor support? aiff? FLAC?

[@miryannogueira1980]

Thank you, this is an awesome tutorial... Too bad the background music to only one of the clips (instead of playing in all...)

[@LiftedNoise]

Does this need to be installed from the app store? I'm not seeing it in my search

[@annheatherton]

The Photo app comes with Windows. Open that app and look for the Video Editor in upper menu.

thanks for the excellent video! Regarding transition fades for Titles and Credits: which free video editing software do recommend for simple title and credit fade transitions?

Is there a way to add voice over audio and music at the same time?

Lol 14:53 I thought it was a giant thicc moth there for a sec. Not a bad editor though.

Will I be able to use it with newest ios version??

my export keeps flickering. do you know if its a frame rate issue? My iphone mov files are in the video and I download a mov coded per windows video editor prompt when inserting clips. During playback no issues, but the render shows flickers... I thought maybe its a frame rate issue and I could adjust it in the export settings

[@jerryg957]

Is Clipchamp an upgrade or a whole new program ?

[@LoolJohn]

I just bought a dell with windows 11 a few weeks ago- does anyone else's windows video editor default to clipchamp? I have not played with clipchamp much, but based on what I am reading online, the free version of clipchamp has a watermark unless I pay to upgrade. i cannot access the non-clipchamp windows video editor like what is shown in this video @teacher's tech

[@hustlewithankit23]

Hey teachers tech you have made an awesome video liked your video and it's easy to understand and keep up the good work.

So, I'm guessing you can't do multiple track editing?

how can this video program let you see the audio as well as the video so that you can edit the two at the same time

Does video editor functions just like a movie maker?

[@neilhodgson532]

Hi John I was watching lastnight a video here on youtube where the person claimed he had a copyright strike from a video he used from Pexel s could this be correct or is it just someone trying to put scare into people not to use Pexels love your tutorials they are comprehensive and very clear Thankyou.🙂👍

hey I am having a weird problem when I lunch it it says this app can't be open and check the store for more info about video editor why is it doing this?

[@accidental_relevance]

I'm almost ready to upgrade from win10 to 11 but want to make sure VE is at least comparable to the previous version. I thought going to VE from Movie Maker was a downgrade. And I don't think either one is a good as imovie.

[@sinravo86]

One thing I can't see that I would like is the fade in and out of each clip - Windows movie maker was amazing and they went wrong getting rid of it

Hi there, I tried adding custom audio to my projects but some audios are working and some are not. Any idea how to resolve this?

[@rhodesmk]

Great video! Simple, east to follow. I thought I'd be able to use this software for my project. However, apparently not! Using Roxio's VHS to DVD software, which also allows saving the videos to your hard drive, I created a video file from an old tape of my wife conducting her high school band. The software saved the file as a MPG file, which opens and plays in the Windows 11 video player. However, when I try to import this file into the Windows 11 video editor, I get the message that "this is not a video file." Huh?? I really just want to add a title slide and trim the front/back ends for a few years of these concert videos she asked me to digitize now that she's retired. Any suggestions on the best simple/free editor for mpg video files? Thanks!

[@lolz616]

Of course, they don't have a crop feature which is the easiest thing to add, sigh back to using online video trimmer oh well. Not talking about trimming a video they have that, but they don't have where u can click the video and crop out say the top portion of a video to hide a certain portion of the video which is very basic and important in editing.

[@Khgamer5506]

Can you shuffle through photos once all pics are added to storyboard

[@kevinpowers9024]

Can you add text to the screen at different parts of a video? I tried to, but it kept putting all the texts at the beginning.

Is it possible to remove the original sound of the video(s) and replace it by a background music sound(s)?

[@annheatherton]

I think you can, yes. Just find the volume symbol on each clip and pull the lever down to make it silent. And you can select/add background music to the entire video.

[@easy262]

@@annheatherton will try thanks a lot!

I’m having issues exporting a 40 minute video in 1080p. It looks like it’s going to export but it doesn’t 😖 It sat there for over 12 hours last night and exported nothing. There’s not a limit on duration or file size tat the app can handle is there? I see there are a lot of videos on resetting the app / using Windows troubleshooting features, so that might be my next option

[@alandakerharley]

Exported my 14 min clip at lowest quality and took nearly 2 hours to upload to KZbin. I only have internet speed of 20 Mbs though. 😩
