Step‑by‑step guide (detailed how‑to)

Install & start a new project
- Install VN and open the app.
- Tap the plus sign → New Project.
- Select the clips/photos from your gallery → Next.
Trim beginning or end of a clip
- Select the clip on the timeline.
- Tap the Trim tool (two arrow handles).
- Drag the left handle forward to remove the start, drag the right handle backward to remove the end.
- Use play to confirm start/end points.
Split (cut) and delete a clip segment (remove middle parts)
- Move the playhead to the place you want to cut.
- Tap the Scissors (Split) tool to cut.
- Move to the second cut point → Split again.
- Select the unwanted middle segment and tap the Trash/Delete icon.
- Tip: zoom the timeline with pinch to place cuts precisely.
Remove VN’s default black “input title” clip
- If VN inserts a black clip (e.g., “input title”), select it on the timeline and delete it.
Add transitions between clips
- Tap the plus icon between two clips.
- Choose from transition categories (Base, Matte, etc.).
- Tap a transition to preview; change direction where available (push left/right/up/down).
- Adjust transition duration (e.g., ~0.4s for fast, ~1.1–1.4s for smoother).
- Confirm and play to check.
Add music (VN library or your own)
- Tap the music icon → Music → choose VN’s library (tracks auto‑download) or My Music → Use.
- Many VN tracks include required credit text — paste this into your upload description to avoid copyright issues.
- Trim the audio clip start by dragging it forward.
- Use Fade In / Fade Out to smooth start/end volumes.
- If music ends before the video, open the audio track’s right arrow to extend or reposition it.
Create layered (multi‑video) layouts (e.g., 3 stacked videos)
- Start with a base clip.
- If aspect/cropping occurs, change project aspect (tap “Original” → choose aspect).
- Use the plus icon (add layer) → Video/Photo to add overlays above the base.
- For each overlay: select Fit if needed, then resize and position by dragging and pinching.
- Repeat to position 2nd and 3rd videos (top/middle/bottom).
Play video inside a circle (mask)
- Add a background (base) clip.
- Insert the speaking video as an overlay.
- Select the overlay layer (mask options appear only for selected overlays).
- Tap Mask → choose the circular mask.
- To move the circle to a corner: position the mask first, then lift/move the overlay layer without disturbing mask alignment.
- Resize/position overlay as needed.
Add stickers
- Tap plus → Sticker.
- Browse categories or search (e.g., “subscribe”).
- Tap to add, then position, resize and time on the timeline.
Add titles, captions, and subtitles - Tap T+ → Text → choose Title, Subtitle, or a template. - Edit content, background color, font, weight and size (Edit → text properties). - Place text on screen and adjust duration by stretching/trimming the text clip. - Duplicate existing text clips to speed repeated captions (select → Duplicate) then edit content/timing. - Use bring forward/backward to manage overlapping text and objects.
Create double‑role (two characters / split screen) videos - Shooting tips: use a tripod, keep the frame fixed, mark positions so the second actor avoids the first actor’s space. - In VN: import clip, trim starts/ends, split where role changes and delete extras. - Place the second segment above the first using Forward (bring to top). - Resize/fit to full screen if needed. - Apply a Linear mask on the top layer (Mask → Linear) and rotate it to create a vertical split. - Feather/soften mask edges using mask handles/arrows to create a smooth seam. - Play and check alignment and seam softness.
Green screen (chroma key) - Create a project with the background as the base layer. - Add the green‑screen clip as an overlay above the background. - Select overlay → Chroma (Chroma Key) tool. - Use the color picker to sample the green background (avoid sampling the subject). - Adjust intensity/threshold sliders until the green is removed cleanly. - Reposition/scale the subject as needed.
Keyframes and animation - Add the object/text you want to animate. - Move the playhead to the start position and tap Keyframe to set the first keyframe. - Move the object to the beginning location (e.g., off‑screen). - Move the playhead forward to the end position and move the object to auto‑create the next keyframe. - For smoother motion, use Curves or preset easing options (ease in/out).
Speed control and speed ramping - Select the clip → Speed. - Change playback multiplier: >1 for faster, <1 (e.g., 0.25) for slow motion. - For speed ramping: open Curve within Speed controls, add points and drag parts up (faster) or down (slower) to create slow→fast→slow ramps.
Filters and color adjustment - Tap Filter → choose preset filters (many free; some paid). - For manual tweaks: Edit → Adjust. - Controls include Contrast, Vibrance, Saturation and HSL (Hue/Saturation/Luminance per color). - Use Sharpen/Clarity to enhance detail. - Use HSL to selectively tweak blues, greens, yellows, etc.
Export settings and bitrate advice - Tap the export arrow (top/right). - Turn on Export Original to keep original resolution. - Choose bitrate: higher bitrate = better quality but larger file; lower bitrate = smaller file but lower quality. - Recommended: around 25–26 Mbps for high quality. 9–10 Mbps may be OK for smaller files, but avoid going below ~10 Mbps to prevent visible quality loss. - Tap Save/Export and wait for rendering; then check file details in your gallery.

Small practical tips & UX notes

Pinch to zoom the timeline for precise edits.
Long‑press to move clips; sometimes repeated long‑press is needed.
Use Fit to avoid unwanted cropping, then tweak with Adjust if necessary.
Duplicate text or other elements to speed repeated captions.
Use Fade In/Fade Out for audio and match transition durations to music and pacing.
Many VN library tracks include required credit text — copy/paste that text into your video description when uploading.
