Movavi Video Editor review

Movavi Video Editor is designed for people who want results quickly. Its newest feature is templates built from Blocks, pre-edited segments you can shuffle, swap media into or assemble one by one, which makes vlogs, family movies and business clips fast to put together. One-click automatic subtitles turn speech into captions, silence removal cuts pauses with adjustable length and volume thresholds, and auto-tracked cropping keeps a speaker centered when you convert horizontal clips to vertical. The toolset also covers a blade tool, filters and LUTs, color correction, chroma key, motion tracking, stabilization, slow motion and picture in picture, with more than 10,000 effects and mouse-over previews. Movavi says it ships 25+ updates a year. The free build may watermark exports, limit videos to 60 seconds or lock some export features, and the store showed only local currency from our location, so pricing is pending. It is easy, but editors who want to grow will hit its ceiling sooner than with Resolve.
