How to use our Chromebook video editing software

Fire up the ole Chromebook and start a new project. Upload your video file plus any other assets like photos or music clips. Drag-and-drop 'em onto your Timeline to start editing or use as a video converter.

When the app's as easy as this, video editing is fun! Tell a compelling story by arranging clips, merging them together, adding music and sound effects, and guiding the eye with motion titles.

Not just an editor, WeVideo is a sharer, too. Download your video (from 720p to super-sleek 4K) and share it directly to YouTube, Google Drive, and social media, or save it to your Chromebook.

"WeVideo gives us the ability to scale our video offerings without extensive staff training or design experience. For example, a social media manager is empowered to create simple videos using the templates we establish in the system, and this allows more people within the agency to be video creators."

David Tisdale Marketing Director, Vx Group

"As an avid content creator, I have tried numerous video editing tools, but none have come close to the versatility, user-friendliness, and feature-richness that WeVideo offers. A standout feature of WeVideo is its collaborative capabilities. WeVideo's real-time collaboration feature allows multiple users to edit a project simultaneously. This collaborative environment promotes seamless communication, enhances productivity, and streamlines the entire editing workflow."

Zita Joyce Primary Years Program Coordinator, Stonehill International School

"We needed a tool that would be straightforward and suit everyone, regardless of their technical expertise or hardware. The biggest benefit we’ve seen implementing WeVideo is now hundreds of reporters are editing video that previously were unable to. By expanding our video production capabilities even further, we hope to grow our 50% share of digital news subscriptions of Norwegian households."

Tord Selmer-Nedrelid Head of Video & Audio Development at Amedia

"The video content I’ve created with WeVideo has added credibility to my work and has helped me scale my business. It has completely freed up my time so that I’m able to take on more. I went from having the capacity to service five clients at one time to 25 clients."

Cara Heilman CEO of Ready Reset Go

"I teach with projects, and WeVideo is an excellent platform for students to work collaboratively on video projects. While most teens have some ideas about video from their cell phones, [WeVideo] takes their creativity and skills to a whole new level, allowing them to find their voice in new and exciting ways."

Peter De Lisle Academic Director, Inanda Seminary

FAQs about editing videos on Chromebook

Absolutely! And you don't even need to download anything from the Chrome web store. (But if you happen to want a dedicated app, we've got one of those, too.) To start video editing in the app or on the web, all you need to do is sign up for a free plan — and yes, it's 100% free, no tricks or gimmicks.

Our free plan gives you access to all our key features: green screen, picture-in-picture screen recording, motion titles, video effects, professional-grade templates, and more.

Our free version for Chromebook includes a watermark on all published videos. If you want to remove the watermark, simply upgrade to a paid plan. We offer a wide variety of premium version plans to fit your needs. Whether you're an individual, a business, or a school district, we've got right-sized options for affordable video editing.

We don't know about all those other video editor apps out there, but if you use WeVideo, then yes! We offer a secure cloud-based video editor that works in any internet browser, along with dedicated video editing apps for iOS and Android. Create wherever it suits you on any given day.

You know that phrase, "The devil's in the details"? We actually prefer to say, "The difference is in the details." What separates a professional-looking video from an amateur one is usually nothing more than the little editing details: the perfect transition between shots, the right motion title, or the ideally timed audio clip.

Fortunately, our Chrome OS video editor makes it easy to create something pro-level — even with no experience. Just use the app's built-in editing features to trim clips, adjust audio levels, and more. You can't go wrong!

What would a video editor be without some professional-level templates to get you started? (Not the best one!) Fear not — we have a great selection of full-featured video templates to simplify your editing process. Make detailed frame-by-frame edits to your template if you want complete control, or make a few key edits to the essentials and be ready to publish in minutes. With our video editor, you can make it as resource-intensive (or light!) as you prefer.
