  • Canva

    While Canva is usually meant for graphic design projects, I find it to be such a simple way to create a one-scene “text on screen” video! Upload a short video clip, add text in your brand font, and download the video. Super easy!

  • Instagram Edits

    When I started editing short social videos (under 60 seconds), I got most of my practice on Instagram. If you want to practice editing text, audio, and want to post to Instagram, I’d recommend it.
