None of them are intuitive enough to master in an evening.  Hence, that&#8217;s why you might want to consider <a href=\"http:\/\/dbhas.info\/3rmJiML\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FlexClip<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So what is it best for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve played with it for a couple days and made two videos fairly quickly. Here&#8217;s my first effort, just dropping in some still photos and using a couple premade templates and their stock audio track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tiny Knife   custom made   available on Kickstarter\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e6i8c-cetMA?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Total time to do that video &#8211; less than 30 minutes and that was longer than expected because each slide had to be dragged to the timeline, one at a time.  Their sales department said bulk dropping to the timeline is in the works, but not available yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s another that took about an hour, but that&#8217;s because I had to add text to each slide, I changed the title page and I hunted through their catalog for a different soundtrack without lyrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gardyn \u2011 fresh herbs and vegetables grown automatically\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cpWMioquWpw?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>(If you want to know more about Gardyn. stop back to this blog as I&#8217;ll be doing a full review of that crazy cool package in the next few days.)  I&#8217;ll be using this video to advertise that article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So what do you get with FlexClip?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The short answer is&#8230;LOTS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are hundreds of short video templates just waiting for you to change the text, render and upload to your website or YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-03-04_18-45-16-900x480.jpg?resize=900%2C480\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34480\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Want more video clips?  They&#8217;ve got more than a million assets to pick from, across a wide swath of topics. They also have a bountiful selection of still photos that animate gently in the timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-03-04_18-49-00-900x480.jpg?resize=900%2C480\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34484\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to create your own? No problem&#8230;upload your own video, your own photos, do a screen recording or make a recording using your webcam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add a soundtrack with their stock music, or use your own.  You can also record a voice track over a slide or video clip. Lot of decent music to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-03-04_16-30-28-900x480.jpg?resize=900%2C480\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34481\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And, if you are into making fun videos for kids, there are all sorts of shapes, badges, and fun elements that can be added to your clips or stills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-03-04_16-29-00-900x480.jpg?resize=900%2C480\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34482\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s another hint, pick your frame size before starting to add your assets. Note, there is no 1:1 square format available as yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-03-04_19-02-17-900x480.jpg?resize=900%2C480\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34483\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Second hint: These templates don&#8217;t seem to expand horizontally, so If your text doesn&#8217;t fit the templates, press &#8220;Enter&#8221; in mid-line to open a new line below, as the templates do seem to allow additional lines; just not additional width.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-03-04_16-28-24-900x480.jpg?resize=900%2C480\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34485\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Priced right?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How does zero sound?  That&#8217;s the starting package for FlexClip and if you only need to do a video once or twice a year &#8211; it could be perfect.  Other packages ramp up depending on your volume and whether you need video and photo assets or you have your own. Here are the prices if you buy a  monthly or annual package.  (Slide the slider to see each package.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-jetpack-image-compare\"><div class=\"juxtapose\" data-mode=\"horizontal\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"34486\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-03-04_18-35-38.jpg?resize=1024%2C514\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"514\" class=\"image-compare__image-before\"\/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"34487\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-03-04_16-42-48.jpg?resize=1024%2C531\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"531\" class=\"image-compare__image-after\"\/><\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bottom line, if you don&#8217;t want to spend a fortune to license more sophisticated programs, and you don&#8217;t want to spend a ton of time learning new software, this is definitely worth looking into.
