How to make a YouTube clip.

Start with inspiration.

We hook you up an inspiration gallery full of professionally made videos to get your creative juices flowing. Search by platform, task, aesthetic, mood, or color to have fresh inspiration at your fingertips.

Select your format.

Once you open up your workspace, you can select either a square or widescreen format for your video by choosing the “Resize” option at the top of your screen. You are free to resize your video at any point throughout the editing process. Then, start dropping in your video and photo content to your timeline to start building your video.

Choose a theme and make it your own.

Adobe Express comes pre-loaded with themes that control the overall look and feel of your video. Themes power transitions between slides and the motion of elements. Simply tap the “Themes” category and choose from any of the unique themes.

Amp up the flair.

It’s easy to add extra flair and personality to your projects. Add various text options, such as subtitles, to your video with each individual cut. Add photos or icons from your own library or right in Adobe Express. If you want, add your own music, choose from Adobe Express preset tunes, or mute the sound altogether to add music later.

Save and share your YouTube clip video.

Once your video is complete, hit that publish button. Download your video to upload right to your YouTube channel or other social media platforms.
