To get more viewers to check out your streams, you need to promote yourself and your brand.

To do this, you need a solid mobile video editing tool that allows you to create attractive promotional videos for YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and several other social media platforms.

That’s where the mobile version of Filmora comes into play.

Filmora is a powerful video editing tool with an extensive library of features packed into an easy-to-navigate interface. It is available for both Android and iOS devices and is very well-optimized for peak performance across the board.

Let’s assume that you want to make a promotional video announcing a guest for your next stream.

Meet up with your guest to discuss the plan, and while you’re doing that, take your phone out and record a video with the two of you telling people about the stream.

Then, open Filmora, and let us guide you through the steps to make a cool promotional video before you go live on Twitch next time.

Add Cool Transitions Between Videos

If the promotional requires multiple clips, you don’t want to go with an abrupt cut every time. Instead, to keep the viewers engaged, you can add transition effects between the two videos. Here’s how.

Create Short Clips from a Long Twitch Stream

Download and install Filmora’s desktop version and follow the steps to use the Smart Short Clips feature. This one utilizes AI algorithms to sift through your stream and pick out important moments, automatically creating short clips for different social media platforms. Here’s how it works.

1
Run Filmora on your desktop or laptop and click on Toolbox. Then, select the Smart Short Clips feature.
