Preface

I think, you can found from the articles of the website, I am a person with a strong passion for programming technique; But it is a pity that I can not help but have the characteristics that most engineers have: My knowledge in art is very weak.

Of course, not most engineers have such characteristics, but most of the people I have some into contact with will also frown and show bitterness when talking about art and interface issues.

This can be said to be a curse of software engineers (except for front-end engineers of course)… No, the topic is long way off!

Beginning in 2021, I began to try to upload my experience sharing to YouTube after playing a game. In the process, I came into contact with the first simple video clips, and spent a lot of time and painstaking production a video.

So I know, it is so hard to make a film perfect, full of beautiful effects and comfortable transitions. And like those Internet celebrities with high traffic on YouTube, they must spend more and more time on the production of the film.

What I admire most is those exquisite animation effects. This is so difficult to create by myself with all kinds of free software on the Internet.

One day, I received an invitation from the FlexClip staff, who provided me with a free discount code for testing, and hoped that I could share an article about my use experience. (Yes, it is the one in front of you)

And this basically free online video editing tool may be exactly what I need, a powerful tool that can create a variety of special effects videos through a simple graphical interface. I think because of this, I am more interested in studying the tool FlexClip.

So this article was born. I will try my best to introduce FlexClip, an online tool, and present the advantages and disadvantages I think.

Introduction

As mentioned at the beginning, FlexClip is a free (and includes the paid advanced plan…) online video editing tool. Users can easily create video with text, audio, animation and various effects.

The origin of FlexClip

FlexClip was built by PearlMountain, they also have other interesting online services such as FotoJet Photo Editor and DesignEvo Logo Maker. I have used DesignEvo Logo Maker in the past.

FlexClip security

If you consider to store your videos on the Internet, or consider the security of your own Internet browsing experience (after all, in the past few years, just connect to the website may be cause your computer mine the bitcoin for others), I think the FlexClip can be trusted.

The tool is also used by many large companies and well-known services. For example, the famous Microsoft and Google both use their services. Moreover, the reviews are almost full of praise. (https://techjury.net/reviews/flexclip-review/#gref)

FlexClip experience

During the film production process, users can directly apply thousands of templates to customize their own videos; that is, they can directly choose a visual effect they feel is appropriate without having to conceive the special effects of the film from scratch.

In addition, unlike the video editing software in general computers, FlexClip is an online tool developed entirely based on web pages, so as long as you can connect to the Internet and have a computer with a browser, you can start your own editing work anytime, anywhere.

In other words, if there is a need for cross-platform, you can also use the same account to edit at any time on different devices.

Although there are many functions, the interface of FlexClip video editing is clear and smooth. You can almost understand which icon button corresponds to which function at a glance, which can reduce the learning cost of many users.

In addition, FlexClip also provides 8 different interface languages, which can be said to be very convenient:

The produced videos are suitable for brand promotion, business sales, social media… and various other purposes.

To be honest, when you think about it this way, FlexClip is the most comprehensive online video editing tool I’ve seen so far.

Let’s take a brief look at the different schemes of FlexClip (of course, the functions of the free version are actually very good).

Different upgrade plan of FlexClip

The above is the description of the four plans (free plan, basic plan, plus plan, and business plan). Below I will simply organize them into a table.

	FREE	BASIC	PLUS	BUSINESS
One month price per purchase (USD)	$0 / Mon	$9.99 / Mon	$19.99 / Mon	$29.99 / Mon
One-year purchase price (USD)	$0 / Mon	$5.99 / Mon	$9.99 / Mon	$19.99 / Mon
Download video resolution	480p	720p	1080p	1080p
Media library videos available for a project	1	1	5	Unlimited
Number of projects that can be saved	12	Unlimited	Unlimited	Unlimited
Video length	1 min	3 min	10 min	30 min
Custom video watermark	X	O	O	O
Without FlexClip credits	X	O	O	O
Cloud space	X	10GB	30GB	100GB

The free version can be use the videos in the media library and apply templates, so it’s actually quite convenient; but it can only make videos with a length of less than one minute, and its use may be more limited.

But if you want to quickly make beautiful family videos or student report videos, a one-minute standard template may be enough. Not to mention that the video can be downloaded and edited separately.

Advantages and Disadvantages

The following are completely my own personal opinions.

Advantage

The characteristics of online tools make it very convenient for users to edit easily on different devices
There are a lot of template materials for reference, no need to think about special effects from the hair
The interface is very clean and concise, users can understand how to edit the video at a glance
No advertising content occupies the page

Disadvantages

The video length of the free version is too short, only one minute
The video quality of the free version is only 480p

Film production process

After login, you will see the following widgets: On the left is the basic panel, on the upper right is the project plan stored in the current account, and on the lower right is the block that allows users to quickly search for video templates.

Of course, the actual editing of the film project is the focus. We can add the following elements here:

Templates
Media
Text
Video
Photo
Music
Elements
Overlays
BKground (Background)
Watermark
More

The edit methods are very clearly. For example, if you want to add text, you can directly open the text block, drag the text style with the mouse to any position on the video, and even click to edit the text… and so on.

If you want to learn more editing methods with FlexClip, I also put some teaching video links in Reference section at the end of the article; maybe you can refer them.

But I prefer to explore it manually first, and if you have a special requirement, search it on the Internet.

Something want to record

I was a little silly at first and couldn’t find the location of the free test coupon code given to me by FlexClip, and then I realized that I could enter it when paying. (Yes! otherwise, where should I redeem the discount codes shared by bloggers on the Internet?)
