Video background

To make your video look much more artistic, you can add the background for a video recording and thus change the tone of the narration and the whole message transmitted by the project.

Clideo’s Video Editor allows you to add and change video backgrounds as well as perform other editing functions. The tool can serve as a simple background adder and at the same time, you can do much more. Change the duration of the visuals, rotate or flip them, slow them down or speed them up, alter the color scheme, or edit in any other way.

The tool works online in a browser, hence you can use it from any device with any operating system installed. Also, its free mode has very minor limitations, so even unregistered users can avail of full functionality.

The best video editor. I've already tried out a lot of video editors, but this is the best one. It has everything in there, unlike others that need a lot of other websites to do different things. Thank you so much.
