How to Make Aesthetic Video Edits

Creating visually appealing videos involves more than just capturing beautiful footage; it’s about refining and enhancing that footage to make it look its best. Whether you’re aiming for a polished, professional finish or a more artistic flair, here’s a guide on how to achieve an aesthetic look for your videos using Clideo’s video editor.

How to Create Simple Aesthetic Edits

Aesthetic videos generally emphasize visual appeal and harmony. To enhance your video’s aesthetics, focus on the following four key aspects:

1. Color Scheme
2. Filters
3. Animated and Still Elements
4. Sound

Clideo’s video editor provides all the necessary tools to adjust these aspects and includes inbuilt stock libraries for additional resources. Here’s how you can achieve an aesthetic look in three simple steps:

1. Upload Your Video

1. Access the Editor: Open Clideo’s Video Editor in any browser.
2. Import Your Video: Click the “Get started” button to access the editing workspace. You have multiple options to import your video:
   • Click the “+” icon to upload files from your device.
   • Select the appropriate cloud storage icon to upload from cloud services.
   • Record your video directly using the tool.
   • Browse the inbuilt stock library for additional assets.

2. Enhance Visual Appeal

1. Combine Assets: If needed, integrate other videos or images into your project using the import options.
2. Set Up Canvas: Go to the “Canvas” tab, choose the aspect ratio that fits your project, and select a gradient background to complement your video.
3. Adjust Video Settings: Click on each video file in the timeline to adjust its appearance:
   • Open the “Adjust” tab to modify settings like opacity (set between 60-80% for transparency), contrast, and saturation. Experiment with these sliders to achieve the desired look.
   • If you have a Clideo Pro subscription, use the “Filter” tool to apply presets for a more stylized effect. You can then continue editing to add music, subtitles, or other elements if needed.
4. Modify Speed: For an added touch, select the video file in the timeline, go to the “Speed” tab, and slow down the footage to create a more relaxed, aesthetic feel.

3. Save and Export

1. Review Your Project: Before finalizing, preview your video to ensure you’re satisfied with the edits.
2. Export the Video: Click the “Export” button at the top right, choose your desired output quality, and process the video.
3. Save the File: Once the export is complete, save the video to your preferred location.

By following these steps, you can transform your video into a visually appealing piece that captures the essence of aesthetics, enhancing both its beauty and impact.
