Yes, you can add visual effects to videos in your projects. You can slow down, speed up, crop, flip, rotate orchangethe color and contrast of a video. You can also use filters to create noise, smoke, blur, glitch, slow zoom, green screen, and many other effects.
It's also possible to add fade-in and fade-out effects as another type of transition between video clips.
To add sound effects, you can draw from our extensive audio stock library (using premium stock assets is a feature available on the Essentials plan).
We're always improving our editor and adding more effects and transition options.
How to add effects
Step 1. Add the videos to your media library
