2 min. readlast update: 05.20.2025

Yes, VidDay’s built-in video editor gives you full control over your clips.

Whether you're trimming out the fluff, adjusting the tone, or adding a stylish touch, it’s all just a few clicks away.

Here’s how to make your video clips look and feel just right:

How to Open the Editor

Double-click any video thumbnail in your timeline. This opens a full preview of the clip.

Below the video, you’ll see several options:

  • Edit Video – to open the video editor
  • Clip Audio – toggle the clip’s recorded sound on or off
  • Background Music – toggle whether the background music plays during this clip

Click Edit Video to open the full editor.

Inside the Editor

Once inside the editor, you’ll see four editing sections:

Trim

Use this section to adjust the start and end of your clip.

  • Drag the handles on the timeline to trim out the beginning or ending of the clip.
  • Use the Split icon (only available in this section) to divide the clip into multiple parts.
    After splitting, make your trims, and then click Merge to bring them back together — cleaned up just how you want them.

Crop

This is where you adjust the frame and orientation:

  • Crop (scale) the visible area of the clip
  • Rotate left 90°
  • Flip horizontally if you want to mirror the video

Perfect for reframing or correcting how a clip was shot.

Finetune

Make your video look polished and balanced. Adjust:

  • Brightness
  • Contrast
  • Saturation
  • Exposure
  • Temperature
  • Gamma
  • Clarity

Slide gently to enhance; reset anytime if you want to start fresh.

Filter

Give your clip a look or mood that matches the moment.

Choose from a variety of visual filters like:

  • Chrome
  • Fade
  • Cold
  • Warm
  • Pastel
  • Black & White

Preview filters in real time and choose the one that fits your vibe.

Saving Your Edits

When you're happy with the result, click Done in the top right corner.
