Vixer

TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, website visuals –– the need for strong video content never ends.

Finding the right editing tools depends on what you need, but Vixer seems to be the fixer (we’ve already slapped ourselves on the wrists for that rhyme). It has all the essentials right from your phone. Here’s what the free editor gets you:

Trim, resize, and merge videos.
Add lighting effects, adjust the brightness, or add filters.
Share your videos directly from the Vixer app to your top platforms.
Edit sounds by removing the background noise, adding music, or adding voice-overs.
Add text overlays.

Check the free and pro versions out to see how it works for your video editing.

Webflow

You’ve had to have heard about this guy before, but have you used it?

Webflow lets you design, build, prototype, and launch responsive sites, apps, or elements visually! But it has grown to become even more than a code-free web element maker. On top of experiencing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in a visual canvas, you can also export code, create custom domains, and use their hosting.

It’s great for teams that don’t have dev resources or just looking to play with new features.

Tagboard is a production platform that easily creates interactive live programming for any connected screen. Access pieces of content from every major social network, like Tweets or TikToks, to bring the voices of viewers right into your programming.

VOCHI Video Effects

Add crazy video effects without the design expertise. Upgrade your video edits with eye-catching, mind-bending VOCHI Video Effects. It’s an iOs app that has powerful object recognition for more than just filters or stickers. But if glitch effects are your thing, that’s their specialty.

And they’re adding effects every week, so check it out!

Speakflow

How do you prepare for speaking? Notecards? Memorization? Multiple takes?

Speakflow is a browser tool that helps you create scripts and use a teleprompter to help you give speeches, record video content, and so much more.

Check out all their helpful speaking features for your next podcast, presentation, or video recording!

InShot Video Editor

When you’re making video and social media content on the go, your phone is your best friend. InShot is one of the most popular, powerful video editing apps you can load your phone with. You can trim/cut videos, blur backgrounds, add music, effects, and more. It’s essential for Reels and TikTok tweaking.

Click&Clean

Broswers take up A LOT of memory and can get bogged down. If you’re someone who is constantly clearing their browser for downloads and cache manually, there’s a helpful little tool for that.

The Click&Clean browser extension clears your cache, URL searches, website cookies, and download history with a single click of a button on your browser toolbar. The extension can also scan your computer for viruses and clean up your hard drive of unused applications — helping your computer run faster as a result.

Online Video Recorder by Canva

If you’ve used Cava recently, you know that they keep adding more helpful features (we love it). Another reason to use Canva is for video presentations and demos. You can now add recordings of yourself and your screen right into deigned presentations. It’s great for onboarding, introductions, or tutorials.

Ever clicked on Canva’s “More” tab when designing something? Give it a spin! Our favorite hidden gem in that section is their adorable Character Builder.
