Welcome to video editing month!

It's a brand new month and a brand new theme!

Every month we focus on a different digital theme. April is video editing month!

We’ll bring you video editing workflow explainers throughout this month, as we create a springtime video with a chilled-out vibe! This is what we’ll cover…

  • Get started with Vegas Pro or Adobe Premiere Pro
  • Add video clips to the timeline and arrange them
  • Add transitions and fades between video clips
  • Add text titles and a soundtrack
  • Export a sequence to an MP4 video file

All our explainers are suitable for BEGINNERS, so if you’ve never used a video editor before you’ll be fine!

Vegas Pro is at version 22 as at April 2025. A FREE trial is available, and the software can be purchased for a one-off fee or on a rolling subscription basis:
