Fast video splitting with no re-encoding

- Join different segments in seconds: select the parts you want to combine and click the Merge button.
New Special Effects

- Combine multiple fragments in one screen: With the new Split Screen effect, you can place two, three, even four different videos on one screen. Show one scene from every possible angle or drive the narration by showing different storylines simultaneously! Create professional-grade clips in just a few minutes.
- Show every important detail with the Zoom effect. Use the Zoom effect on a short piece of video to emphasize a detail that might be missed by the viewer in the original footage. Select the screen area you want to focus in on and crop the video using this frame. Apply Zoom-In or Zoom-Out to the entire movie for smooth magnification or to reduce your view of the image.
- More Effects packages to come. In the future, we’ll be bringing you additional packages of special effects you can use in Movavi Video Editor. Watch out for dozens of new featured styles coming soon!
New Fades
Join multiple clips with creative transitions. Vertical or horizontal bars, a rotating cube, moving lines and crosses – choose the one that works best for your video. You’ll get more fades with our upcoming extra transitions packages!
Stylish Titles
Add text shadows to titles to help viewers read the text more easily against a pale background. Work with multiple titles in the same segment of the video. Try our latest style of animated title – the Creeping Line.
