How to Edit Videos on Android with Kinemaster

This step-by-step guide explains how to edit videos on Android with kinemaster. It covers the required setup, the main actions, and the checks that help prevent common problems.

It is possible that you still keep the videos you recorded from your last meeting with your friends. They are in the collection in the phone and waiting to be edited. You may be planning to transfer those videos to your computer for editing, but that is not necessary.

Once the video has been added, select the check mark at the top right. To cut a video, tap the video at the bottom, after the border turns yellow. On the upper left you will see a scissors icon.

Tap this icon and new cutting options appears in the same area. If these options are grayed out (not enabled), move the video back and forth to active options. Options include: Trim to the left / right of the playhead (Cut video to the left / right of the playhead), Split at playhead (Split video into 2 parts in playhead) and Extract Audio ( Audio Extract). Please select the option that best suits your needs.

Adding transitions to videos is an easy task. Let's add some videos as usual. You may notice that in the middle of each video there will be a gray square and a line in the middle. To add transitions, tap the square.

After adding videos, you add voice (Voiceover) to it. Select the mic icon. Recording will not start until you press the Start button, but you can specify the mic is on when the green light starts flashing.

Adding text to video is a basic and necessary tool. To add text and personalize it, select the Layer Button to the left of the red camera button. After that, a new options window appears. The Text Option will lie slightly below.

Swipe down and you can also add things like drop shadow, glow, add borders to text, etc. To change the color of the text, tap the white circle to the right of the scissors icon.

The video will be much better if you add music. For example, you want to add a song on the device. Put the red line at the bottom where you want the song to start. Select the music note icon and select the song.

Once you've selected your favorite song, a red plus sign appears. The app will start playing audio so you can confirm if it is the song you want to add. After confirming, select the red plus sign and the title of the song appears at the bottom.
