This post highlights some of the interesting features, tips and useful tricks that you can do in the Movavi video editor.

From creating time-lapse videos and YouTube intros to background sound removal and video stabilization, you’ll be amazed at how much these features can add up to your productivity.
So, let’s take a look at the tips.

1. Removing the trial watermark​

When you are editing a video in the trial mode, the video exported will always have Movavi watermark. Hence there’s no way to get rid of the watermark as long as you’re using the trial version.

However, once you purchase the program and activate it, not only that you’ll be able to export all the forthcoming videos without any watermark, but there’s a way to remove the trial watermark from the ones exported during the trial version.

Please remember that for this tip to work you’ll need to have the project file of your video in .MEPX, .MEPB, .MEPS, or .MEP version as the watermark cannot be removed from the video exported. To do this:

1. Go to File > Recent Project and select any of the project files that you previously worked on. You can also look up the project files in your computer’s hard drive.
2. Open the file in the editor and save it again. And this time, it will be saved without the watermark.

2. Add your own watermark/ logo to video​

Movavi Video Editor Plus allows you to add your own branding to the edited video either in the form of a logo or as a watermark to keep off any copyright infringement. So, to do that:

1. Go to Edit > Tools > Logo.
2. In the window that opens up, click Add Logo to upload any image that you want to use as your branding and it will appear on the video being edited.
3. You can move and place it anywhere on the video and also set its duration in the timeline (whether you want it to appear throughout the video or on a few frames)

Note: To add the watermark, follow all the aforementioned steps, however, as watermark is opaque, you can click on the image in the timeline and in the Clip Properties that appear, lower the Opacity of the image till you reach the desired result.

3. Create a time-lapse video​

Time-lapse videos are creative and an interesting way to demonstrate a lengthy process. You can create cool time-lapse videos with Movavi Video Editor Plus without getting into too many technicalities.

To create a time-lapse effect for your video, you can simply speed up the video.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Open the clip that you want to convert to a time-lapse video by clicking the Add Files button or through simple drag and drop.
2. Click on the video clip and drag it onto the timeline.
3. Now double-click the clip on the timeline and the window above will show you Clip Properties.
4. Drag the Speed slider from 100% (by default) to the point where you achieve the desired speed of the clip. You can keep testing the speed in the preview window.
5. Spice up your time-lapse video by adding some music. Just import a nice music track to the software, drag it on the timeline and fix its length, start and end point according to your clip.
6. Once you get the desired result, click on the Export button the left. In the resulting window add the particulars like name of the video, format, quality, and where to save.

5. Get highest quality of the exported video​

There happens at times that the your edited video comes out with a lower quality than the original footage.

The reason for this might be that the original footage has higher resolution than the Full HD (1920×1080) set by the software by default.

To solve this issue you need to change the default resolution of the project and make it the same as that of the original footage.

Here’s how you can do it:

1. First check the resolution of the original footage by right clicking on it in the timeline and in the resulting menu clicking on File Information.
2. Once you know the original resolution, go to the preview window and click on [16:9] to open the drop-down menu.
3. Click on [x:y] to enter custom resolution for your project.
4. Now when you export your final video make sure the resolution is same as the one you entered for the project.
