The magic of any great software lies in its usability. With this in mind, the creators of VideoSpin have assembled the most intuitive editing interface ever.
Check it out. There are just three simple parts you need to know.
Part one: An album for your pictures and footage
The upper left section of your VideoSpin interface presents a simple place to park the assets you’ll make into a movie. An intuitive file system and portfolio of thumbnail images gives you a place to collect or simply view:
- Video

Part two: Your movie timeline
Your movie is simply a sequence of images and sound. You create the sequence by clicking on the thumbnail and dragging the elements from your album onto your timeline. Naturally, it runs left to right.
- A handy razorblade makes it easy to cut or shorten edit the length of your clips.
- Use transitions to add Hollywood-style cuts (such as dissolves and wipes) between scenes.
- Titles are a snap to create or customize and add.
- Music and sound effects can be easily arranged and edited.
Part three: The video player
Want to see how your video is coming together? View the movie you’re making by selecting “play” to see your work in the preview area. If you’d like to continue editing, you’re free to do so. When you’re content with the video you’ve created, it’s show time.
