Edited by

Use our pocket-sized video editor to quickly polish your clips before conversion. Rotate, trim, and crop videos to give them the sharpest look. Boost colors with handy presets and awesome filters.

Step 1. Download and install Movavi Video Converter

Download Movavi Video Converter to your device. After the download is complete, run the installation file and follow the on-screen instructions.

Step 2. Open files for editing and conversion

Click the Add Media button in the upper-left corner and select Add video. Locate the videos that you want to edit and convert, then add them by clicking the Open button.

Step 3. Edit your videos

Click the Edit button – a new window will open. Here, you can make all the adjustments you need before converting the video.

Go to the Audio tab if you want to get rid of unwanted sounds in the video and normalize the volume.

In the Adjustments tab, you can tweak parameters like Brightness, Contrast, Hue, and more. Check the Magic Enhance box to have AI improve your video automatically.

The Effects tab offers filters like Fish eye, Fill edges, B&W, and many more. In the Subtitles tab, you can upload *.ass, *.srt, or *.ssa files to overlay subtitles onto your video or search for subtitle files online. Choose an appropriate style, font, and size and synchronize the subtitles if needed.

Open the Watermark tab to add a logo or text to your videos; the transparency level can be adjusted.

Go to the Crop tab to adjust the aspect ratio, rotate, or flip your video. In the Trim tab, you can cut out unwanted parts of the video. Click Save and Close when you are happy with the result.

Step 4. Select the output format

Movavi Video Converter offers ready-made presets for easy conversion. You’ll find the most frequently used formats in the Popular tab. You can also review other output options in the Video tab. To convert files for a specific device – a smartphone, a TV set, or a tablet – go to the Devices tab and choose the appropriate format from the list.

Step 5. Convert the edited files

Click Convert when you are ready. Once the conversion is complete, the folder with the output files will open automatically.
