Choose the Video tab to begin editing a clip. - **Choose the right video ratio** [02:24] — If you are editing a YouTube Short or Instagram Reel, tap Canvas and select the Shorts ratio (9:16). For a long-form video, pick the 16:9 ratio. The rest of the editing flow is the same for both formats. - **Improve quality with filters and adjustments** [03:21] — Use the Filter option to add effects and opacity, and the Adjustment tool to raise brightness or contrast according to the source clip. This visually upgrades the video quality before exporting. - **Trim and delete unwanted parts** [04:30] — Zoom into the timeline to see individual seconds, use the Cut tool to split the clip, then select and delete the good-looking paragraph from the beginning or middle. This isolates the exact start of the content. - **Add voiceover or music** [05:32] — Mute the original video volume if needed, tap Recording to record a fresh voiceover, or choose Music to add a background track. The recording and music are placed on the timeline and can be trimmed. - **Overlay a screen recording with PIP** [08:22] — Put the cursor where the screen recording should appear, tap PIP in the tools, select the screen capture, then resize, crop and apply in/out animation so the overlay appears smoothly. - **Add and animate text overlays** [11:04] — Choose the text tool, type a caption like 'Please subscribe', edit the font, color, background, and add emojis. Use the run animation and timeline endpoints to make the text move across the screen automatically. - **Export in recommended quality** [14:43] — Before exporting, set resolution to 1080p, 2K or 4K and keep FPS at 60 for smooth playback. Then tap Export. The creator also recommends trying KineMaster and VN app tutorials for different tools. ### Conclusion InShot is a solid all-in-one mobile editor for beginners, and with a little practice you can produce polished Shorts or long-form videos with quality color, clear audio, overlays and text. The key is to practice the tools, as the creator repeatedly emphasisesibly emphasizes. ## Transcript Look, it's done, the quality is changing, isn't it fun?
