Getting Started with Video Studio

Video Studio is a built-in video editor inside Click Social. It lets you create short social media videos by trimming and combining clips, editing captions, and exporting directly from your Media Library. Use Video Studio to quickly assemble engaging posts without switching between tools. Edit videos, review and fix auto-generated captions, and publish - all without leaving Click Social. You no longer need external video editing software to prepare your social media videos.
