InShot Video Editing Tutorial - Beginner to Pro

Learn to start a multi-clip edit in InShot by selecting blank, set the canvas for 16:9 YouTube or other formats, then import and trim clips to form a 62‑second promo.

Arrange clips, trim with split and drag edits, fit vertical footage into a 16:9 canvas, and save drafts before exporting in an InShot video editing workflow.

Mute clip audio and apply volume changes to all clips in a draft project using InShot. Use the blank feature to add intros or outros and set the canvas size.

Master the picture-in-picture technique in InShot to create a multi-clip collage: add clips with blank footage, arrange 3–4 layers, and adjust borders and masks for a professional look.

Learn how to use the blend function and picture-in-picture to superimpose clips, adjust opacity, and speed up multiple clips together for a cohesive promo video.

Adjust fps in the InShot app by syncing shooting, editing, and exporting to 30 or 24 fps, and use direct multipliers like 60 to 30 for smooth playback.

Explore changing video speed with speed settings, from faster and slower multipliers to curve-based timing. Use presets and manual curves to achieve fast or slow motion and adjust duration.

Shorten two fire clips to the one-minute mark using curve-based speed changes, then apply a combo animation (spin fall) to the entire clip and plan final trimming after music.

Add transitions between clips via the transition window, adjust duration to control overlap and timeline length, and keep effects subtle before adding music.

Add music in InShot by choosing tracks from albums and applying them to the video timeline; adjust volume, split and align with transitions, and use timeline zoom for beat placement.

Learn to apply fade in and fade out to a music track in InShot. Adjust start and end points, control volume, and test timing for a smooth edit.

Learn to add text and stickers in InShot, customize color, border, shadows, fonts, size, alignment, and transitions, then use stickers and loading icons for engaging intros.

Explore how to use keyframes in InShot to manually animate text and transitions, controlling opacity from start to end for smoother, custom intro and outro effects on the timeline.

Add final animated text and stickers in InShot using left and right transitions, keyframes, and opacity adjustments, then finalize with a website link and subscription sticker.

Export the promo video by selecting mp4 at 1080p with 30 fps, render, and save to the movies folder, then upload it to YouTube and check the result.

Learn chroma keying with InShot to replace green screen backgrounds. Use the PIP mode, color selection, and strength tuning to minimize halos.

Learn to blur a moving subject in video using the inshot sticker detail options, a blur layer, and keyframe tracking to follow movement with adjustable opacity and shape.

Record a voiceover, split into two parts, and compare noise reduction using the Denoise feature on and off to demonstrate improved audio quality and reduced environment noise.

Master the effects feature in InShot video editing to add movement with slow zoom, tremble, or glitch, using filters, keyframes, and the canvas option to create dynamic 4K videos.

Conclude that InShot is a great free option for beginners, but not ideal for daily professional editing; switch to a laptop workflow with Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.

Compare InShot and Capcut, highlighting Capcut's strong desktop app and availability concerns, while exploring AI-based video editing and its impact on workflows.

Watch an InShot from start to finish practice video that teaches importing five clips, ordering them, removing audio, adding transitions, removing watermark by watching an ad, and exporting to 1080p.
