[#TOC1]1. Go to VEED and Upload Your Video (or Create a New Free or Paid Account)[#TOC1]

Go to VEED and click on the Sign up button to create a new free or paid account. If you already have a VEED account, click on the Login button to access your dashboard. 

Once you have logged in to your dashboard, click on Create Project and upload (or record) your video.

There are four ways to do this:

• Upload a file: already have a pre-recorded video you want to edit? Click on the Upload a File option to browse your laptop or desktop and select the video file you want to edit. 

• Drag and drop a video: click and hold on the video you want to upload, and drag it to the dedicated drag-and-drop section in your VEED dashboard.  

• Get it from Dropbox: click on Dropbox in the upload option screen and hit connect to Dropbox if you haven’t already. Then, choose the video you want to edit and click on upload. 

• Paste the link: need to edit a video that’s already published on TikTok and Twitch? Simply copy and paste the link of the video, and click on Add Video. 

[#TOC2]2. Click on the Video in the Timeline to Highlight it[#TOC2]

Once your video is loaded into the editor, click on the timeline at the bottom of the screen and it will highlight the entire playback. 

[#TOC3]3. Drag the Blue Playhead to the Part of the Video You Want to Divide and Click on Split[#TOC3] 

Depending on where you want to split your video, move the blue playhead along the video timeline. Then, click on Split option on the upper left-hand side of the video timeline to split the selected clip. Repeat the same process to split your video into multiple parts as needed.  

‍Editing Shortcut: Use the keyboard shortcut (S) to split your video.

What’s the difference between trimming and splitting a video?

‍Trimming a video means adjusting the start or end points of a video clip by clicking and dragging on the ends to make the video shorter or longer.

‍Splitting a video means dividing a video somewhere in between the start or end of a clip. For example, if you wanted to remove an awkward moment you could cut (or split) the start or end of that moment in your video clip to then delete it.
