Multi-Clip Editing for Windows

Wondershare Filmora already has a timeline feature in which users can drag and drop many videos and effects for professional editing. However, the new version brings a Multi-Clip Editing feature that allows users to edit two or more videos simultaneously. This feature will replace the "Batch Edit" feature of Filmora with a better functionality. Keep reading this guide to learn about the features and functionality:

Accessing Multi-Clip Editing

Step 3: Initiate Multi-Clip Editing

You can drop these files on the same track or different ones to edit simultaneously. To do this, press the "Ctrl" button from your keyboard and, with the help of your cursor, select both clips, one after another.

Step 4: Right Click to Start Editing

After selecting the multiple clips, right-click, and the dropdown menu will appear. From the options available, you can incorporate any function on these clips. For instance, you can enable "Compound Clip", and "Color Match", or you can "Adjust Audio" for both at a time.

Step 5: Perform Multi-Editing With Different Features

Multi-editing can be continued across different elements within the video timeline. For instance, if you have added a video clip and a title across it, you can select both and edit them simultaneously. For that, double-click on the video clip to open its settings at first. Continue to hold the "CTRL" key and tap the title on the timeline to open the multi-editing system.

Note:
There are a few things that are to be known about this feature. This feature does not support preset keyboard operations like "centering", "zooming", or making "vertical or horizontal shifts". Secondly, you cannot use the "Special Effects", "AI Smart Cutout", "Masking", "Motion Tracking", and "Stabilization" features in multi-clip editing as of yet.
