What’s a recap video?

A recap video is a short, engaging summary of key moments from an event or a specific time period. Corporate event recaps inform non-attendees and help attendees relive the experience, while personal recap videos, like daily vlogs or year-in-review montages, allow content creators to document experiences, celebrate achievements, and share memories with their audience on social media.

How do you make a recap video?

To create a recap video with VEED, upload your event footage, use the Magic Cut tool to trim and select the best moments, add subtitles, and enhance it with text overlays, stickers, music, and motion graphics. VEED's user-friendly interface and AI-powered tools make the process quick and easy, even for those with limited video editing experience.

How long should a recap video be?

The ideal length of a recap video depends on the event type and sharing platform. Generally, they should be concise and engaging, ranging from 1 to 5 minutes. Shorter videos (1-2 minutes) are perfect for social media and email campaigns, while slightly longer videos (3-5 minutes) provide more detail for event websites or internal corporate communications.

Can I translate my video?

Yes, VEED offers a built-in translation feature that allows you to easily translate your recap video into multiple languages. After adding subtitles, click "Translate" and select the target language. VEED will automatically translate your subtitles, making your recap video accessible to a wider audience. Auto-translation can be particularly useful for international events and global campaigns.
