The Very Best Video Editors for Travelers

You’re going to be a movie star roam’s list of favorite video editing apps includes a variety of options – beginner and expert, free and low cost, apple and android, desktop and mobile – so you can create movies and slideshows of your favorite vacation adventures., by liliia decos.

You head out on a fabulous trip. You take hundreds – even thousands! – of photos and videos of your experiences. You come home and never see them again.

Sound familiar? It does to me!

Most of the time, I take too many pictures and don’t know exactly what to do with them. Out of the hundreds of great shots my husband and I take, maybe 20 will find their way to Instagram or Facebook – but others are doomed to be buried in the “photo graveyard” of memory cards and cloud storage.

Well we have a cure for this ailment – and it’s not hydrochloroquine 😉  What if instead of burying your precious moments, you could compile the best pictures and videos from your trips into memorable and fun slide show videos?

Well you can! And we bet you have some extra time on your hands to get that done. Even better?  You don’t have the skills of a professional video editor or a pile of money to spend on software. I created the video below on Quik for free in just minutes!

I’ve compiled a list of 15 video editing apps for ROAM readers to check out. I’ve tried them all and include a bit of info with each one that’ll hopefully let you know which app is right for your situation.

For example, I broke out the list by desktop versions and mobile apps because personally, I work on my laptop when I create longer videos and when I use footage from our DSLR camera. I tend to use mobile apps to be sure I don’t “waste” amazing shots I snapped on my phone.

Keep in mind that there are dozens of video applications on the market, for both mobile and desktop users. It is a matter of trying and figuring out what works best for you. I hope this list will get you started and help your family relive your family adventures! (But if video ain’t your thing, check out our other ideas for preserving your vacation memories .)

And if you come up with a masterpiece, email us at [email protected] so we can share it with our readers!

Best Desktop Video Editors

Price: Free with an option to upgrade to paid Premium version

Available: Windows, Mac, Linux

Pros: Very powerful video editor with an extensive library of video tutorials for beginners

Cons: 4K video is supported only in the premium version. Can be too advanced for beginners

Lightworks is one of the most powerful video editors on this list. It has a huge variety of useful features such as high precision video trimming, multicam support, export 720 for YouTube, and a wide video range of video formats. The free version should be more than enough for most users but for those who are looking for even wider array of features, there is an option to upgrade to the Premium version.

VSDC on Windows

Price: Free with option to upgrade to a Pro version

Available: Windows

Pros: Non-linear video editor with a vast array of powerful features and more than 200 free tutorial videos

Cons: Windows only and technical support is not free

VSDC is one of the best free video editors for Windows. Note that this video editor is “non-linear,”  meaning it allows you to combine video files and pictures in any sequence. You’ll be able to create layers, place several objects into a scene, overlap them, blend fragments and even make them half-transparent if your vision requires that 😉 The non-linear editing also allows picture-in-picture, side-by-side and split-screen shots, double exposure and green-screen removal.  If these tricks don’t impress your friends, nothing will!

iMovie on Mac

Price: Free

Available: MacOS

Pros: Easy to learn

Cons: Advanced users may find it very limited

If you are a Mac user and you have never edited a video, go no further than this native Mac application. I used iMovie for many years before I started to consider moving up to something more advanced. iMovie is very intuitive and super easy to learn. Also, for basic videos, it has plenty of features such as pre-made transitions, video trimming, audio editing, split screen, 4K resolution and more.

Cons: Might be too basic for some intermediate users

VideoPad is a great editing software for beginners. It is perfect for anyone who just wants to start playing with video editing, as it is simple to use. It offers basic features such as a library of pre-made transitions, the ability to export movies in multiple resolutions, 3D video editing, an option to reduce camera shaking, and a sound effects library. VideoPad allows you directly export to YouTube and other social platforms, as well.

Movie Maker Online

Available: Browser-based app

Pros: Free app with a solid array of features, an extensive library of royalty-free soundtracks and photos, and the ability to export videos without any watermarks.

Cons: Lots of ads and it takes some time to get used to the interface.

Movie Maker Online is an free online video editor. This means that if you don’t have a powerful computer you still can create great videos from your trips! Online video editors are usually very simple but Movie Maker Online is an exception. Unlike other browser-based tools, it offers proper timeline-based editing with titles and effects, plus a huge library of royalty free music and stock images. In exchange, users must view advertisements – it is a trade off you may or may not be willing to make.

Best Mobile Video Editing Apps

Available: iPhone, iPad and Android

Pros: Built-in slow motion editor, ability to add multiple music files to the video and other fun features

Cons: 5 minute video limit, watermark on your video, and many ads unless you pay for the premium version

Download: Google Play

VivaVideo is a fun and very intuitive application that allows you to create a short video on your smartphone within minutes. Importing your own photos and videos from the gallery, you can trim and merge the slides very easily. The app has several free built-in themes, a vast library of songs (on top of your own play list!) and other fun features like stickers, filters, effects and texts to caption your video

I usually use this app to capture best moments of a fun and eventful day. For example, sightseeing in Barcelona for a whole day will result in hundreds of pictures on my phone. Creating a short, two-minute video is a great way to “remember” one day in particular and to share it with friends and family on YouTube or other social media channels. See example below.

Available: iOS and Android

Pros: Free with no watermarks on videos, a super intuitive interface, and great autoediting features to create short fun videos

Cons: Some users may want more editing control

If you have a GoPro camera but for some reason don’t like the GoPro editing app, consider Quik, probably one of the easiest editors to create short videos from both GoPro and smartphone footage. You can zoom, trim, rotate photos and videos from your gallery, albums, Google Photos, Dropbox or GoPro Plus. There are 23 themes and a bunch of filters, transitions and graphics. An AI editor analyzes your videos to select great moments. It detects faces and colors to frame each photo perfectly and also syncs footage to the beat of your soundtrack – and there’s a great selection of songs to pair with your video. Another plus? Every week Quik creates ready-to-watch videos made from photos and video on your phone. That’s really awesome! See example below.

LumaFusion  

Price: $29.99

Available: iOS

Pros: The most professional video-editing app for iOS that delivering anything a filmmaker needs

Cons : Not free; doesn’t sync between devices; only for iOS

Download: App Store

LumaFusion is aimed at more of an expert, mobile video editor user and really delivers everything an almost-professional developer could want. You can start as a novice and build up to expert-level videos in a single app. Only downside is that you’ll pay $29.99 for this privilege – not a lot but if you’re just starting out editing video, you might want to mess around with a few free options before jumping up to LumaFusion. The good thing is that it will be waiting for you when you’re ready 😉

Price: Free version available; Pro Edition is $4.99 monthly or $39.99 annually

Available: Android

Pros: Feature-reach editor, supports 4K, exports directly to YouTube, intuitive interface

Cons: Free version adds watermarks

Android users shouldn’t get upset because they can’t get LumaFusion  – they’ve got FREE access to Kinemaster, a full-featured video editor. I have been using this app for several years and I simply love it! Despite the fact that the app has all the features a professional editor would ever need, the interface is quite intuitive and easy to use.You can even time audio clips to certain frames which is not a common feature on free mobile editors. See example below.

Pros: Free, simple AND powerful, many soundtracks and editing features, and the ability to produce 1080p videos without watermarks

Cons: Only available for iOS users currently

Another amazing application for editing short videos on you phone from the  GoPro company. If Quik is considered to be the fastest and easiest way to edit videos, then Splice promises to deliver desktop editing software power to your phone or tablet. On Splice you can edit your GoPro videos as well as you video and photos from your phone.  You can trim clips, add filters, chose from several transitions and add customizable text overlays and titles slides. Splice has an extensive library of royalty-free soundtracks and sound effects, and enables voice-over as well. The only downside is that you must have an iPhone to use it.

Adobe Premiere Rush

Price: Free for three video exports and 2GB of cloud storage, then you can subscribe to Premiere Rush CC plan ($9.99/ month)

Available: iOS, Android, Windows, MacOS

Pros: Cross-platform integration, support for 4K videos, and a multi-track editor

Cons: Free version only lasts for a limited amount of videos and it doesn’t seem as powerful as professional software

Download: Adobe

Adobe Premiere Rush is the next step towards professional editing software. While with Adobe Premiere Pro there is a considerable learning curve (frankly, it can be quite intimidating at the beginning), Adobe Premiere Rush is designed for people who want to be more in control when editing their videos but don’t want to spend hours and hours on how-to tutorials. Think of the difference between Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Premiere Rush like the difference between Photoshop and Lightroom – its got all the best tools in a much more user-friendly package. The app offers four video and three audio tracks for editing. You can add music from your own library or use one of the free soundtracks. It delivers a quite intuitive and friendly interface considering that it is a midrange professional video editing software.

PowerDirector

Price: Free with in-app updates

Available: Android, iOS, Windows

Pros: Vertical video editing, slow motion editing, chroma key editable green and blue screen backgrounds.

Cons: Free version has a watermark and doesn’t allow 4K export.

Download: App Store or Google Play

PowerDirector is another great video editing application that is available for both Android and iOS. The easy and intuitive interface lets you create professional looking video in a matter of minutes. The app offers a good selection of effects, the ability to choose background music and voiceovers, as well as all the usual transitions and cropping tools. You can export your videos straight to Youtube, Instagram or Facebook for free in 720p or if you purchase an in-app upgrade, you can export in Full HD 1080 or 4K.

Price: Free with ability to upgrade

Available: Android, iOS

Pros: Fast, easy and fun. Also you can share your content in the app (similar to Instagram)

Cons: You have to pay to download your video. Sharing to Facebook and Instagram is free but you can share only as a post, not as a story (as of April 2020) Limited control over the editing process.

Download: Google Play or App Store

If you are the type of person who shares a lot of content on social media, have a look at this app. Magisto uses AI to select the best part of the footage, so the app pretty much does the editing job for you. You select the content from you library, select the theme and music, and voila! The video is made and is ready to be shared. It is a cool app to use for fun short videos at the end of an eventful day.

Price: Free with an opportunity to subscribe to GoPro Plus

Pros: Multi-track editor, exports directly to YouTube, 20+themes to chose from

Cons: Older app so only on older GoPros; Minimal control and cannot edit templates

If you have an older model GoPro, this is.the app that comes with the phone. The good news is that it is easy to use! GoPro helps you automatically import your footage and create great videos within seconds. There are 20+themes, time lapse sequences and the possibility to go frame-by-frame to find the ideal high-quality still make it possible to take care of your videos quick and easy. What I love the most about this app is that GoPro allows me to view photos and videos right on my phone before I offload them.

Available: Google Play and App Store

This is not a typical video editing application but I still decided to include it on our list. The app tracks all your activities such as hikes, runs, bikes or any adventure outside and then it creates a really cool 3D activities stories that you can share with your friends. As an avid hiker, this app has become one of my favorites!

Top 6 Video Editing Tools for Creating Stunning Travel Videos

Creating compelling travel videos is an art that requires the right set of tools to effectively capture the essence of your journey and share it with the world.

In today’s digital age, where visual content holds immense power, video editing tools have become essential for crafting engaging and immersive travel experiences.

This article delves into the top 6 video editing tools that stand out for creating captivating travel videos: FlexClip, invideo, Veed, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro X, and DaVinci Resolve.

Each of these tools brings unique features to the table, catering to different skill levels and preferences.

I have used and tested these all on their free trials and for a couple of them I have even paid to be able to use and test them for a little longer so that I could provide feedback that is based off regular use.

Let’s dive in!

FlexClip is a perfect solution for all types of users because it is easy to use and has many features that allow people to create excellent travel videos.

It allows you to add music, voice-over, and text. Furthermore, numerous filters and transitions will be ideal for people who want to upload their videos to various social media platforms.

It offers a wide range of video templates and resources that users can use to create their videos. This includes stock footage, music, images, and text effects.

If you have no ideas, you can just use the ready travel video template inside the editor and edit it according to your need.

Besides, FlexClip’s text-to-video tool allows users to create videos from text prompts. You can simply enter your text prompt and FlexClip will generate a travel video with images, animations, and transitions.

With the AI image generator, you could generate images from text prompts. For bloggers like me with limited resources, this is extremely useful for creating video thumbnails for your travel video, title cards, or other types of video graphics!

You can use the tool to cut and edit videos, as well as add text and background audio. You can also improve your video by including animation and voice-over.

Color can also be edited using this tool. You might achieve the desired result with minimal effort. Furthermore, it offers an easy-to-use interface.

Invideo stands out as a versatile online video editing platform tailored for creating stunning travel videos. With a user-friendly interface and a wide array of features, invideo makes it easy to turn your travel footage into captivating narratives. 

One of its strengths lies in its library of travel-themed templates and effects, which can instantly add a dynamic touch to your videos.

From amazing transitions that mirror moving from one destination to another to text options that allow you to showcase location details and captions, invideo offers tools designed with travel content creators in mind.

Additionally, invideo’s integration of stock footage and images adds depth to your videos, enabling you to incorporate shots from iconic landmarks or scenic vistas even if you haven’t captured them yourself.

This is particularly useful for rounding out your video’s narrative with a broader visual perspective. 

The platform’s affordability, with various pricing plans to choose from, makes it an attractive option for both beginners and experienced video editors.

Whether you’re sharing your backpacking adventure or a luxurious beach getaway, invideo provides the tools to create visually appealing travel videos without a steep learning curve. 

Veed is another remarkable tool that simplifies the video editing process, making it a fantastic choice for travel video enthusiasts.

Its ease of use and cloud-based accessibility make it a standout option for those who want to edit their videos without the need for advanced technical skills or specific software installations. 

Veed offers travel-centric features like speed adjustments, allowing you to capture the fast-paced excitement of your journeys or slow down to highlight serene moments.

Moreover, its automatic subtitles feature is a game-changer for multilingual travel content.

Travel often involves encounters with different languages, and having subtitles can significantly enhance viewer engagement. 

Filters and color correction tools provided by Veed can help transform ordinary shots into visually captivating scenes, making your travel videos more immersive.

Collaboration features make it a suitable choice for travel buddies or teams working on travel projects, allowing everyone to contribute their footage and ideas seamlessly.

Adobe Premiere Pro

For those looking to take their travel video editing to a professional level, Adobe Premiere Pro is a tried-and-true industry-standard choice.

This powerful software offers an extensive range of features that cater to travel video creation.

The ability to finely tune video and audio edits gives you full control over the pacing and narrative flow of your travel videos.

Adobe Premiere Pro’s integration with Adobe Stock is particularly beneficial for travel videos. You can access high-quality images, videos, and audio tracks to enhance your travel content with visually appealing assets.

Multi-camera editing is another standout feature, enabling you to seamlessly weave together footage from various angles, perfect for showcasing your travel adventures from different perspectives. 

While Adobe Premiere Pro’s learning curve might be steeper compared to other tools, the investment is well worth it for those seeking a professional touch in their travel videos.

However, its subscription-based pricing model might be a consideration for you, in which case you could use Adobe Express – a free online video editor alternative from Adobe.

Final Cut Pro X

For Mac users, Final Cut Pro X offers a comprehensive video editing solution tailored for creating travel videos. Apple’s ecosystem integration ensures a seamless experience between various Apple devices and software.

Final Cut Pro X is optimized for handling high-resolution footage, making it an excellent choice for travel videos captured in 4K or higher resolutions.

One of Final Cut Pro X’s strengths lies in its motion graphics and effects capabilities. These features can add a cinematic flair to your travel videos, enhancing the visual impact of your storytelling. 

Whether you’re documenting your city explorations or capturing the beauty of natural landscapes , Final Cut Pro X’s tools enable you to elevate your videos with creative elements.

While the software comes with a one-time purchase cost, its potential for creating stunning travel videos justifies the investment for Mac users committed to producing top-tier content.

DaVinci Resolve

DaVinci Resolve stands out as an all-in-one solution for both video editing and color grading, making it a favorite among content creators looking to create visually striking travel videos.

Its professional-grade color correction tools are particularly advantageous for showcasing the diverse landscapes and atmospheres encountered during travel.

The audio post-production tools in DaVinci Resolve ensure that your travel video’s audio quality matches its stunning visuals.

Whether it’s the narration of your adventures or the ambient sounds of the destinations you’ve visited, DaVinci Resolve’s capabilities allow you to deliver a complete audio-visual experience.

The Fusion visual effects feature adds an extra layer of creativity, enabling you to add unique visual elements to your travel videos.

One of the most noteworthy aspects of DaVinci Resolve is its availability in a free version that still offers robust editing and color grading features. This makes it an attractive option for both newcomers and experienced editors looking to experiment with advanced tools without a financial commitment.

In conclusion, the world of travel video editing is enriched by these top 6 tools: FlexClip, invideo, Veed, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro X, and DaVinci Resolve.

Each of these tool brings its own set of strengths to the table, catering to different levels of expertise, preferences, and budgets. 

Whether you’re a beginner wanting to create quick and engaging travel videos or a professional seeking to craft cinematic narratives, these tools offer the means to capture the essence of your journeys and share them with the world.

Ultimately, the choice among these tools will depend on your specific needs and the level of creative control you wish to exert over your travel video projects.

The Best Travel Video Editing Services for Vlogs & Adventurers

He holds a BA in Entrepreneurship and is an experienced video editor, having edited hundreds of videos for dozens of creators before starting his own video editing company. Since launching Tasty Edits, he has directly managed thousands of video and thumbnail orders. Now, he draws on his experience working with professional creators to write about video editing, the creator economy, and video marketing. You can also read his work on Hackernoon and Medium . Plus, he's contributed several expert opinions in interviews and articles as a guest on platforms like Jotform .

• Updated June 26, 2024

Sharing your travels with an online audience as video is a fantastic way to grow your following and boost engagement on your channel.

After all, your travel videos and vlogs offer them an amazing bit of escapism. People just love watching creators have crazy adventures, explore new cultures, and travel to beautiful locations.

As long as your content is well-edited , that is.

Even the most beautiful shot of a sunset over the Grand Canyon can fail to attract viewers if the transitions are jarring, the music off, and the story-telling feels flat.

That’s where professional video editors come in.

A great travel video editing service will string your raw clips into a captivating story. Whether that’s your latest  travel vlog or a stunning documentary .

And they’ll be able to compensate for any lighting or equipment issues you may have had filming while on the go. Stabilization, color corrections, after-effects, and all.

To help you find the best editor for your needs, we’ve rounded up the five best travel video editing services out there today. They’ll help you spin your raw footage into gold and take your audience on a journey with you.

The 5 Best Travel Video Editing Services

Here’s a super-quick summary of the travel video editing companies on this list, especially on their  pricing, editing speed, and services offered . 

Tasty Edits

Heading this list is Tasty Edits, one of the best online video editing companies for creators, businesses, and entrepreneurs. They have deep experience with a wide variety of content, including travel vlogs and adventure videos. 

Travel vlog YouTubers TIM and FIN visiting the Jungfraujoch, Switzerland

Next up is Spivo, a video editing service specialized in travel video editing . Their editors are happy to take on anything from adventure honeymoons over a lake hike vlog to road trips across California. 

Spivo offers unlimited revisions on your drafts to make sure you’re happy with the end result. If you want to refine edits yourself , you can also request the project files from your editors.

Spivo – Pricing

• Edits start at $149
• Request quote for exact pricing
• Bulk discounts

Video Caddy

Another great address for travel video editing is Video Caddy. Their giant team of editors has extensive experience when it comes to storytelling , video corrections, transitions, and special effects. 

One of the downsides of using Video Caddy is that pricing is a little tricky to calculate. Billing happens on an hourly basis , with rates starting at $12/h. If you need advanced edits, like video and audio enhancements, this can rise to $15/h.

So, unless you can estimate fairly well how long it will take your editor to turn your raw clips into a finished video, your budget can be difficult to manage.

Video Caddy – Pricing

• $12+ hourly rate
• Large portfolio
• Experienced team

But that doesn’t mean that making travel videos is a piece of cake. Far from it. In addition to having the technical know-how and an eye for detail, you also need to know how to weave a story around the content you shoot – and for this, you need to constantly ideate and execute. So if you’ve been wanting to make it in the travel space and are wondering how to make a travel video, this article is just what you need. 

In the following sections, we will be taking you through everything you need to know about creating travel videos in addition to sharing some of the best ideas you can get started with. If you already have something in mind and would like to get started right away, you can sign up for a free account on InVideo and start bringing your travel videos to life. 

Create cinematic travel videos

Without spending hours on editing

Here’s what we will cover:

1. The basics of how to make a travel video 2. Top 7 travel video ideas 3. Pro tips to create travel videos

Let’s dive in.

1. Basics of making travel videos:

While making any video you need to go through the steps of ideating, planning, and executing. But when you’re carrying these steps out in the travel video space, you need to hone several other skills in addition to that of filmmaking, such as time management, thinking on your feet, and acting quickly. So to help you get better at making travel videos let’s take a look at what you need to do.

A. Planning and pre-production

A lot of people believe that planning is an optional step when it comes to creating travel videos because the activity of traveling in itself is so unpredictable. But if you’re looking to create travel videos that leave an impact, planning and pre-production are absolutely indispensable to the process. 

Planning for a travel video includes everything from ideation and scripting to location scouting and storyboarding. But all of these processes look very different from how you would do these for regular videos – for the sole reason that there is a huge amount of uncertainty that comes with the process of travel. Filmmaker Aidin Robbins explains the process of planning very well in this video:

Here’s a short outline of how you can go about it: 

(1) Ideation

Ideating for a travel video begins with deciding upon a location and then figuring out in what light do you want to present that location. Do you want to create an educational video on the place or showcase its culture or is there a particularly interesting story about the place that you want to bring to light? Your answers to these questions form the basis of your idea.

(2) Research

Once your idea is ready, you want to go ahead and gather as much information as you can about the place – through blogs, youtube videos, personal anecdotes, and even interviews. You want to look up images and videos to get an understanding of what the place looks and feels like. This is super important in helping you plan out your shots later.

(3) Outlining

Once you have the idea and your basic research in place, you want to create a rough outline of the flow of your video. This is where the storytelling aspect kicks in. Mind you this is not a full-fledged script because that isn’t really possible at this stage. With the outline, you want to ask questions such as how do you want to start your video? What is the hook? How will the story flow and how will it end? Here is also where you want to cite any references for creative inputs and ideas.

(4) Plan your shots

Now this is not something that you have complete control over. However, having a basic understanding of how your story flows as well as the shots and angles that will complement the scenes in your story is super important. This will allow you to be mindful of the kind of shots you take. You can create a shot list of the basics that you want to cover so that even if unprecedented events happen, you can still get decent shots from your trip. You can also create a storyboard to help with this process but that is not mandatory.

(5) Figure out your equipment

Depending on the location you’re traveling to, how long you plan on being there, what your living situation is going to be like and other important factors, you will have to decide on your equipment. You will require a professional camera with a few different lenses, a gimbal to take moving shots, a good on-camera microphone to record audio, and also preferably a drone to get cinematic aerial footage. Check out this blog for a complete list of the kind of equipment you will need. 

B. Shooting your travel videos

When shooting travel videos you want to think about what that place represents and what emotion it evokes. That is what you want to capture in your shots. The best travel videos are ones that make the viewers feel like they’re traveling with the creator – and generating that emotion is only possible if you know what elements of the place you want to capture in your footage. This holds true even for vlogs – scout the place before you begin filming to get the best shots. 

Keep your list of shots from the planning stage handy to ensure you get everything you need. And ensure you capture shots from the journey and not just the place itself b because unless you’re taking your viewers on a journey, it doesn’t evoke the kind of emotion you want it to. 

Another thing you want to ensure is simply shooting a lot! In most cases, less than 1% of your footage will make it to the final cut. But for that to happen, you want to ensure you have enough footage, to begin with. The worst feeling is to come back after the trip to edit your video only to realize you missed out on getting good shots. For a more in-depth understanding of how to shoot your travel videos, check out this guide by Parker Walbeck 

Of course, a lot of your travel video story is also refined during the editing process , which is what we will be looking at in the next section. 

C. Editing your travel videos

If you’ve planned right and shot according to the tips we shared above, your editing process will be all smooth sailing. But as we’ve already discussed, creating travel videos is different from creating other types of videos, which is why you need to pay special attention to different elements. 

When you’re editing a travel video, in addition to having great clips, you also have to pay close attention to your choice of music , the sequence of your shots in the final edit, the pacing of the video, as well as the transitions and text you use. An editor like InVideo makes this easier because it already has most of these features inbuilt – allowing you to access and use them at the click of a button. 

Travel videos appeal to people’s wanderlust, which means you want to focus on recreating that emotion while editing. Again, you need to go back to your script and storyboard here to first get an understanding of the kind of emotion you want to convey – are you making a fun holiday video or are you showcasing the culture of a place? In each connotation, the editing style is going to be vastly different. For a fun, festival video, you will have upbeat music, fast transitions, and creative text whereas, for a documentary-style video of a destination, you will probably prefer more acoustic music with mellow tunes, simple transitions, and minimalistic text. 

Here’s a video by popular travel creator Lost LeBlanc explaining his process of editing a travel video: 

Now your editing process will depend heavily on the kind of software you choose to edit on. If you already have some video editing experience and have a robust enough system, you might want to choose professional software like Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro. 

But if you’re just starting out, you want to use an editing tool that will let you create stunning edits with ease. This is where InVideo comes in. With an extensive library of over 5000+ templates along with ready-made assets like animated text boxes, stickers, call to action, music and sound effects, stock footage, transitions, and more, InVideo makes it super easy for you to edit your travel videos.   

2. 7 ideas you can use to create your travel videos:

Now that you have a fair idea of how to go about creating travel videos, let’s take a look at some top-performing travel video ideas to kick your travel video creation into high gear. 

Idea #1 - Start your own travel vlog

Travel vlogs are a great way to start your travel video journey. As a travel vlogger, you can start recording your trips, talking to the camera and your viewers, sharing your feelings about your trip, your first impressions, your expressions as you try various food items in real-time, and more. The best part is that travel vlogs don’t even need to be professionally edited. They can be shared even live in real-time, as viewers expect travel vlogs to be raw and real in many cases. 

For example, Mina, an American travel vlogger, shares her vlogs from various places she visits across the world. Check out this video of her experience at the Zen capsule hotel in Japan. 

Travel vlogs allow you to build your brand, find a niche as well as work towards earning opportunities. 

Idea #2 - Create helpful how-to travel guides

You don't have to strictly do videos about your trips. You can create video guides for travel enthusiasts or creators as well. You can share tips, ideas, and knowledge with your tribe through beautifully crafted videos. 

For example, check out travel YouTuber Sorelle Amore’s videos. She helps viewers create content like her through travel guides. She also inspires you with stories on how to live free and abundant as she does. Check out this video where she shares tips to travel on a budget.

If you want to create travel videos with a message, you’ll get lots of inspiration on Sorelle’s YouTube channel . Meanwhile, you can create your own travel tips and tricks video using this fully customizable template from InVideo :

Idea #3 - Share unique or strange travel experiences through your videos

Your travel videos can become a medium for you to share your personal, unique, or strange stories. You might have experienced unique events across your trips. You might be into tasting local, but strange food, trying out local dresses, and more. All of this can be a part of your travel videos. 

For example, YouTuber Mike Corey’s mission is to conquer his fear of the unknown by traveling to strange and unique places and experiencing uncomfortable events. Check out this video on Mike’s camping experience at a place called Satan’s Castle in Turkey. 

These videos are a glimpse into Mike’s methods of overcoming fear and insecurity. Whether you too want to overcome a personal fear, or you’re looking to create unique travel videos, you too can share strange stories, experiences, and events you met on your journey in your videos.  Not only will this make your videos more interesting, but you’ll also get attention for doing something different.

Idea #4 - Share food stories and reviews in your travel videos

If you are a foodie and love tasting new delicacies while on the go, you can make travel videos about food and culture. Your videos can provide viewers with a peek at different food cultures, cooking methods, and flavors across the globe. 

For instance, YouTuber Mikey Chen travels to various countries and eats all the local food he can get his hands on. You too can similarly marry your two interests - travel and food. Check out this video where Mikey shares updates on his quarantine meals during his latest visit to South Korea.

Mikey’s videos are not just about his interests and passions. He has also successfully created merchandise around his content and sponsors various brands and products through his various YouTube channels. If you love to sample different food items, you too can create videos like Mikey, focusing on the food during your trips. 

Customize this video to create your own exploration of food and culture across the globe! 

Idea #5 - Spread your message of positivity and love in your travel videos

You can create travel videos about love, friendship, and positivity you come across on your trips. Share stories of how people across the globe are all linked by a common thread of compassion and good can be found everywhere. 

For example, Phil, a black dude traveling all over Europe creates videos to promote positivity, love, and break barriers, in association with the Matador network. His videos show him going to various countries and cities and connecting with people, smashing stereotypes in the process. Check out this video on a Black traveler’s guide to Milan.

His videos offer a unique perspective, showing us how a black guy approaches and mixes with the European people. Just like Phil, you can take your viewers through the various places you visit, taking in the sights, eating the local food, and doing fun things across the city. You too can create your travel videos sharing your unique perspective, message, or narrative. All you need is a different way of looking at the world!

Idea #6 - Create 1-minute videos highlighting a city (or any place)

Create one-minute videos of a city or a place your visited and loved. You can feature time lapses, unique shots, and more to make these videos look relatable. These videos can be really helpful to viewers who actually want to travel to these cities and countries as they give a glimpse of the destinations and their highlights. They can also be fun to watch, keeping in mind the short attention spans of most people today.

For example, Cailin from YouTube channel Travel Yourself is known for is her “City in a minute” video series. Cailin shares the highlights of the city (or any place), the culture, the food, and any other relevant information, all in a minute. Check out this video by Cailin featuring Israel in a minute.

Show off your impressive travel highlights in your own 1-minute (or longer) video with this themed slideshow template.

Idea #7 - Share video tour reviews, advice, and answer questions 

If you are wondering how to make travel videos and are looking for inspiration to start, you can begin by doing reviews of local services, food reviews, restaurant or homestay reviews, and more. Share updates on the key points of a trip, give information on how to reach your destination, what does the trip involves, what is your itinerary, the cost, and more. Your videos can also answer the most frequently asked questions about a place or a trip.

For example, travel YouTuber Christianne started vlogging her journey as a response to commonly asked questions about her trips across the globe. Now she shares everything from life updates to travel itineraries and experiences in the form of travel videos. Check out this video by Christianne featuring Medsailors (a cruise trip) in Croatia.  

Edit and customize this template to create your own travel advice video, including details of the trip for prospective travelers.  

3. BONUS: Pro tips while making travel videos

If you want to create stunning travel videos, that make people stop scrolling, you’ll need to do your homework in terms of planning your trip and other aspects. In the section below, we share some super actionable tips that make it possible for you to make your travel videos more impressive and engaging. 

Tip #1 - Understand your gear

Before you set out to capture beautiful locales and happening adventures, you will need to know how to capture them. Understanding your equipment is essential to getting the best output. Know and practice using your camera and mic in various different settings to know what kind of output it yields.

Study your equipment ’s manual to know how to use different controls. You don’t want to miss capturing a beautiful moment because you were fumbling with the controls on your camera. 

Tip #2 - Refine your gear

When you’re starting out it is easy to get swept up by cool gadgets and the latest camera, but the truth is you don’t need a whole bunch of equipment to film good videos. As you hone your craft, refine your gear simultaneously. Your aim should be to be able to travel as light as possible while getting the best quality of the footage.

You can do this by first understanding your style of filmmaking and then sticking to gear that helps you achieve that the best. For instance, if you’re someone who primarily uses wide-angle shots in your travel videos, you might not need to carry multiple macro or telephoto lenses.

The thing to note here is that this kind of refinement comes with practice and experience. So don’t beat yourself up about not getting it right on the first go. 

Tip #3 - Capture as much of the journey as the destination

As we’ve mentioned before, travel videos are about showcasing the journey. Even if you’re making a tips and tricks video, if you can make people feel like they’re part of the process – your videos will do much better. This means capturing shots that depict the journey – hiking to the top of the hill, taking a cab to the temple, walking to the restaurant, and others like it.

Tip #4 - Film the people of the place

Yes drone shots of the ocean and close-ups of the forest leaves are beautiful, but the real essence of a place lies in its people. A lot of travel creators don’t realize how crucial this element is. Capturing life and emotions and depicting that in your story is one of the best ways to evoke feelings of belongingness in your viewers and this is not something you want to miss out on.

For instance, check out this video on one of the oldest cities in the world, Varanasi, India, by YouTuber Ben Mikha, depicting the local people and everyday life. It makes the viewer feel like they are a part of the chaotic and vibrant landscape as well.

Tip #5 - Shoot more than you think is necessary

As we had mentioned above, roughly 1% of all your footage is likely to make it to the final edit . This means you need more than enough legroom to play around and experiment with. Even if you feel something is unnecessary at the moment, capture it because you will not truly know if something is unnecessary unless you bring it to the edit table.

Tip #6 - Organize your footage on the go

Unless you’re on a weekend trip, not organizing your footage on the daily is a huge mistake. Since you will be shooting a lot, if you fail to organize on a daily basis, it will become a mammoth task to have to sift through the entire media from your trip at the end.

Tip #7 - Carry enough storage and battery

This means memory cards, hard drives, and battery backup. The worst thing to happen while filming is having your memory cards or battery run out preventing you from filming what you need to. Keep multiple memory cards, hard drives, and power banks to ensure your filming goes as smoothly as possible.

Take a minute. We'll help you figure it out.

Immortalize your travels with a video.

Travel videos are a great way to document your trip, tell a specific story for a client, or just share the sights and sounds you experienced with the world. Whether you’re exploring the pyramids of Egypt, the skyscrapers of New York City, or the tropical waters of Thailand, learn how to  make a video  of your trip that you’ll want to watch over and over again.

Prepare for your trip.

When it comes to making travel videos, any time spent planning is time well spent. The preparation phase might not be as fun as filming or traveling, but it will help you make the most of your time, and it’ll give you the best chance to come away with the footage you need to make the best travel video you can.

Gather inspiration.

The first step is to research your travel destination and find inspiration. If you’re going on an expedition to Antarctica, this could mean finding out how to dress for the weather. If you’re going to Barcelona in Spain this might include looking up architectural points of interest. Logistics, location scouting, and getting familiar with the local culture will all help you plan your trip and your video.

“I find travel inspiration on social media,” says photographer and videographer Tiffany Nguyen. “So whether it’s Instagram, Pinterest, or a blog I saw, I usually have things bookmarked into a folder on my phone.” Next, Nguyen pins the different locations she wants to visit on Google Maps and color codes them in order of priority. “That way I can plan out a route, and I am not wasting my time jumping from point A to point B,” she says.

Map your story.

After you’ve done your scouting, start to visualize the narrative arc of your video. This process is also known as  storyboarding . Your storyboard could be as simple as loose sketches, or it could describe the sequence of your video shot by shot. “Video is very time consuming and the window when you have good light is very small, so it’s important to have a good game plan,” says Nguyen.

One advantage of going through the storyboarding process is that you realize what shots you’ll need for your video. Now you can write a  shot list  to help you keep tabs on what footage you have and what you still need.

“If you have a strong storyboard and shot list, it’ll be a lot easier for you to put the timeline together and create the sequence for the video,” says Nguyen. “The most important part is being able to tell a story. You may have a bunch of epic clips, but if you don’t know how to tell a story and put it all together, it falls apart.”

Working with a client.

If you’re working with a client, the pre-production process is almost identical, except that you’ll likely be given creative direction or a certain script to follow.

“It all starts with research. I have a client meeting, and then I sit down with my producer and we figure out how we’re going to execute this project. Then I write the script,” explains videographer Bevan Waite.

“The script dictates the next series of preparation documents, which would be the shot list, the call sheet, and any travel logistics that need to be organized. All of these organizational documents reference the script and ensure there’s an allotted time and location for every aspect of the script to be executed,” says Waite.

Find the focus of your film.

From the moment you start planning to the final edit you make, the most important thing to do is keep the big picture in mind; let it drive all your decisions as a filmmaker.

Another way to think about this is to ask yourself what your goal is, what the purpose of your video is. Are you making a travel guide for the Amalfi coast, a documentary of your road trip through Scotland, or a sponsored travel adventure through the Amazon rainforest? Or do you simply want to make an epic travel video as a keepsake of your trip?

Once you have your overarching purpose figured out, the rest of the planning, filming, and editing process will fall into place much more easily. Whether you’re a  vlogger  who wants to show their subscribers a day in Bali or a blogger who wants to add a video component to your post about the best way to see the Grand Canyon, there’s no limit to what you can do with the video format and a desire to explore.

“Some trips I totally fly by the seat of my pants. And that’s okay; sometimes you can schedule time to not know what the next thing is,” says Waite. “But it’s always a good idea to have that larger vision in the back of your mind, so you know what you’re trying to accomplish.”

Pack your camera bag.

Now that you’ve got your vision, it’s time to pack your bags. The best strategy in the gear department is to keep your kit as minimal as possible. “Especially on travel shoots, where you’re going to four or five different locations a day, you want a really compact, organized camera bag. That’ll allow you to move more easily,” says Waite.

Mirrorless cameras  are your best bet for cutting the bulk without sacrificing image quality, but you can use whatever camera you have that can film video. If you’re making a video for a client, it’s a good idea to bring two camera bodies so you have a backup in case one breaks, gets stolen, or gets lost.

“You don’t want to have a huge camera, because that draws attention to you and makes it hard to capture candid moments,” says Nguyen. GoPros and other action cameras are always a good idea to bring, since you can mount them anywhere and they take up virtually no space.

Finally, consider bringing a  drone  for those stunning aerial shots. “I love having aerial footage in the intro of my videos,” says Nguyen. “An aerial clip grabs your attention right away.” If you do decide to bring a drone, make sure you’re licensed and can legally fly in your chosen location.

“I almost always carry multiple lenses,” says Nguyen. “I have a wider lens, like a 16–35mm, and I also have a couple prime lenses.” While prime lenses are less versatile in  focal length , they are more compact and their image quality is often superior to zoom lenses. To round out her kit, Nguyen brings a telephoto zoom lens, which allows you to capture subjects you can’t get close to. These lenses also create a beautiful compression effect for your scene.

But if you want to go minimal, a solid midrange zoom lens such as a 24–70mm can make a great all-in-one kit.

Stabilizers

Nguyen also recommends using a gimbal or other stabilization system. “This is how you’re going to get those smooth cinematic shots,” she says. “When you capture videos with the gimbal you have more usable footage versus a handheld shot, since a lot of those shots can be really shaky and unusable.” 

How much does gear matter?

Don’t let gear get in the way of what really matters: the journey itself. Most cameras with video capability can film exceptionally high-quality footage, even an iPhone. The difference is in the story you tell and how you choose to tell it. Your audience isn’t going to be dialed in to pixel differences, but they will care about craftsmanship and how well the story captures their attention.

Tips for filming your video.

Pay attention to light..

Light is one element you should always look out for, since the quality of your light will determine the look and feel of your video.  Golden hour  is a favorite time for most photographers and videographers, as the soft, warm, directional light close to sunset is flattering for subjects.

“If you have outdoor locations you want to visit, go there at the beginning or end of the day, and then go to your indoor locations in the middle of the day,” advises Waite. “That way you’re still getting a good quality of light inside the buildings, but you’re not getting that harsh daylight outside.”

Vary your shot types.

Consider the variety of  shot types  you’re collecting as you travel. Just like a favorite food, it may be delicious, but if it was the only food you could eat you’d soon grow tired of it. In the same way, “if you just have static shots or all gimbal shots, the video won’t be as enticing to viewers,” says Nguyen. Wide shots, detail shots, candid moments, lively action shots contrasted with still tripod shots, and time lapses are all shot types you can use to keep your video interesting.

Embrace the unexpected.

When traveling, things are bound to go sideways or veer from your plan at one point or another. Try not to get discouraged when you can’t eliminate all unknowns during your trip. Part of the beauty of travel is your encounter with the unexpected. As long as your camera is ready to roll, you’ve got the opportunity to capture one-of-a-kind footage as the scene unfolds.

“Being able to think on your feet is a very essential skill to have as a filmmaker,” says Waite. “No matter how much prep you do before a shoot, you’re always kind of making it up as you go.”

Get consent from the people you film.

If you’re doing commercial work, you’ll want to make sure you’re squared away legally when it comes to showing people’s faces. The last thing you want is to run into any legal issues down the road, so make sure you get consent or a model release right after you’ve filmed them.

“That’s something you want to be upfront about,” says Nguyen. “Most of the time, if you let them know what you’re doing, I find that people are open to it and think it’s really cool.”

Edit with the story in mind.

Back it up asap..

The first thing you want to do after a day of filming is back up your footage onto a hard drive. If you can, have at least two backups of the footage, because you never know what could happen.

Once your footage is safely stored and organized, go through it and start to pick your favorite shots. Pull those clips into the video editor of your choice. Nguyen uses Adobe Premiere Pro.

Make your cuts cohesive.

Now that you’re ready to put it all together, pull out your storyboard again. This is going to be the difference between a clip montage and a story. While it may not be a feature-length documentary, every travel video has a story arc, even if it’s just a chronological retelling of your steps.

“It’s always good to have a bigger picture of what you’re doing in the editing room, rather than just putting a nice video clip next to another nice video clip,” says Waite. “Even if it isn’t clear to other people, as long as you know there’s an inherent structure to the way you’re doing things, I think that’s good enough.”

Waite likes to group similar shots together to create mini-scenes. “If the  establishing shot  is a drone shot of the ocean at sunrise, the next two to five shots should be of that same scene, shot in different ways,” Waite explains. No matter how you sequence your film, always do it with intention. Think about how your clips connect to each other and work together to move the viewer through the story.

How long should my video be?

That depends on what type of video you are making. “For regular Instagram posts, I find that 45 seconds is the sweet spot,” says Nguyen. “It’s really hard to create a video in just 30 seconds because usually I have so much footage. And I find that one minute is a bit too long, because usually the travel videos you see on Instagram are fast paced.”

Other platforms like a  YouTube channel  or IGTV are better suited for longer stories, but longer doesn’t necessarily mean better. As long as the story supports the length, you should be good. Just keep in mind that the longer your video gets, the more likely your audience will lose focus, so if you want a long video make sure you’ve got a compelling story to back it up.

Don’t forget sound.

Between voice-overs, interviews, and ambient music that complements your video, audio is one element that can really elevate your video. Collect sound bites from some of your filming locations to use alongside their respective video clips. Whether it's rainforest sounds in Brazil, water lapping at the beach in the Philippines, or even Los Angeles traffic, sound activates another sense and helps immerse the viewer into the scene.

Balance client expectations.

When you work for a client, Waite’s advice is to “put your own creative spin on it as an editor. But go with the direction you’ve been supplied.” It can be tricky at first to strike this balance, but the chances are your client hired you because they like your unique style or personality, and it’s okay to let that show in your editing.

Begin your journey as a travel filmmaker.

There’s a lot to keep in mind as you start to make a travel film, but the most important thing to remember is to relax and enjoy the journey. Don’t worry about being technically perfect so much that you don’t immerse yourself in your location and culture. Your passion and perspective will be much more noticeable than which gear you used or how big your budget was.

“Be shameless and just go for it,” advises Waite. “It’s all about self-confidence. When it comes down to it, it’s really just organization, vision, execution, and editing. None of those steps is rocket science. People can make careers out of just one of those steps.”

From Turkey to Tuscany, Peru to Prague, or New Zealand to Norway, wherever you may find yourself, you’ve got all you need to get out and film your own epic travel video.

HOW TO EDIT TRAVEL VIDEOS

5 ESSENTIAL TIPS

Pin 797 Tweet Share WhatsApp 797 Shares

In a world where everyone and their ten year old niece is making YouTube videos, how do you make your travel videos stand out and be seen? How can you turn those hours of footage into something engaging and captivating? Whether you’re just getting started or looking to up your game, read on and learn how to edit travel videos that will interest, delight, and inspire your audience.

SHOOT GREAT CONTENT

A great travel video doesn’t start on your timeline..

Before you even hit record, you need to have a solid plan and final outcome in mind. Whether you’re creating cinematic travel videos, or vlog style pieces, getting the right shots to begin with is vital. So, what things do you need to consider?

Think about what you want your finished video to convey

What footage do you need to tell this story?

Make a list of the things you want to film

What are the sights, sounds and experiences that capture the essence of the destination?

Think about the different angles you can shoot from to create unique perspectives

From close up detail to wide panoramas, what variety of shots can you get? 

Be sure to check your footage regularly

If something’s not working, it’s better to find out there and then when you can still do something about it.

If you keep all these things in mind when shooting, you’ll have the best possible material when it comes to actually cutting and editing your video.

Use the best editing software, choosing the right editing software, and learning how to use it, is vital to creating great travel videos..

If you’re serious about producing the best content you can, save yourself a lot of time, frustration and wasted effort and invest in Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro X from the get go.  I made the switch to Premiere Pro about a year ago, having tried numerous free and paid editing platforms over the years (Sony Vegas, GoPro Studio, CyberLink PowerDirector, etc.).

The difference is HUGE.

Not only is the actual editing software far superior, it is fast, reliable and efficient.  I no longer break down in fits of rage when my software stalls or crashes, losing hours worth of work.  I don’t have to painstakingly piece together my video, hoping it will look OK because the software is so slow and lagging that I can’t tell during the edit. 

I also don’t need to worry about finding solutions to any problems that do arise – Premiere Pro is so widely used that there are a million tutorials and troubleshooting articles out there. I can resolve an issue in minutes, rather than hours, days, or in one maddening case, weeks. 

I’ve learned the hard way that opting for budget-friendly editing programs ultimately leads to wasted time, effort, and money, while producing inferior quality videos. I encourage you not to make the same mistake!

So what happens once you’ve bit the bullet and signed up for pro-level software like Premiere Pro?

 learn how to use it.

 Start with the basics, and never stop learning. Your aim should be to constantly build on your knowledge and editing skills, using new techniques to keep your latest videos fresh and interesting. A great way to keep expanding your know-how is through YouTube tutorials. Whether you’re trying to figure out how to create a specific effect, or just broadening your general skill-set, there’s a ton of useful info out there. Soak it all up and you’ll be well on your way to knowing how to edit great travel videos.

Two of my favourite channels are Justin Odisho and Peter McKinnon , both of which have loads of easy to follow tutorials specifically focusing on Premiere Pro editing techniques.

There are loads of great tutorials out there to help you learn how to use Premiere Pro, like this one from Peter McKinnon 

CHOOSE AWESOME MUSIC

Music can make or break a video..

Even if all the other elements of your edit are great, cheesy music will turn people off. Conversely, great music can capture your audience’s attention, draw them into your story and maintain their interest throughout. Choosing the right tracks for your travel video should be at the forefront of your editing process. It’s certainly not something to be slapped on your timeline as an afterthought. Opt for music that helps drive your story, the tempo of the tune complementing the mood on screen. Vocals can be distracting, so focus on instrumental tracks instead.

So where can you find this great music?

There are several websites and platforms that offer royalty-free or creative commons license downloads that you can use in your travel videos. Some are free, some are paid. My favourite sites for sourcing free music are Thematic and Soundcloud, and we also use the paid service Artlist .

Thematic has a variety of music that you can use, as long as you credit the artist. You can create ‘projects’, which is handy for saving the tracks you like for future use. 

Saving the music you like in Thematic Projects makes it easy to access as and when you need it

Music on Soundcloud is not automatically cleared for use on YouTube, etc. You need to do your homework and find songs that are free to use. They’ll either be under an appropriate creative commons license or have express permission from the artist. 

An alternative option is the YouTube Audio Library . Great paid subscription sites include Artlist , Epidemic Sound , Music Vine and Music Bed .

We personally use Epidemic Sound. We love how you can choose individual stems, as well as the full mix, of a song, and use this feature a lot. Use our link for a 60 day free trial and see what you think!

 It can take time to trawl through all the options, listening to endless songs before you find the right one. But when you hear that perfect beat, it’s all worth it.

BEFORE THE EDITING BEGINS YOU NEED TO GET THE BEST SHOTS, RIGHT?

HERE’S HOW TO SHOOT CINEMATIC FOOTAGE

MAKE IT SNAPPY & INNOVATIVE

You’ve shot your footage, chosen the perfect music and imported it into your editing software. now it’s time to finally make an awesome travel video..

 If you want to keep your audience engaged (which you do, obviously) you need to keep your edit snappy and innovative. Your music and visual content should go hand in hand.

First, make it snappy.

Cut your clips to the beat of the track so that what you see and hear is perfectly in sync. Then mix it up so it doesn’t get predictable. Every so often, shift the rhythm of your cuts to the off-beat. If the tempo changes, reflect this in your edit. For example, fast paced cuts to match an epic beat drop, or a slow motion shot during a lull between beats. Your clips should be short and punchy, continually moving the story on. Long, drawn out shots are boring and your audience will quickly lose interest.

Now, it’s time to get innovative.

Once you’ve mastered cutting to the beat and creating a snappy pace, get innovative with other effects. For inspiration, look to other travel videos out there that you enjoy watching. Use these as learning tools. Pick a sequence or effect that you like and figure out how to re-create this in your own video edits. Keep it simple at first, developing your skills one at a time. 

Set yourself achievable goals. Don’t expect to be editing something like JR Alli’s Egypt video straight off the bat. Some of the videos I love and have learned different techniques from are Because We Camp’s Thailand and Porto videos, Nico’s Seoul Cinematic and Guilin videos, and pretty much all of Brandon Li’s short films . Ultimately, your goal should be to combine various effects to create your own unique style – a style that will keep your audience coming back and wanting more.

DON’T FORGET THE SFX

If you really want to engage your viewer, drawing them into the heart of the destination you’re portraying on screen, then sound effects (sfx) are crucial..

 So often this is the one element of otherwise great travel videos that’s missing. The absence of the right SFX can leave the audience feeling disconnected from what they’re seeing. 

When we travel, all our senses are heightened, excited by new smells, tastes, sights and sounds. By incorporating real life sounds into your travel videos, you can convey those sensations and heighten the emotional response of your audience. 

Great sound editing can be used to wonderfully dramatic effect, like in the Egypt or Porto videos mentioned above. As a viewer you feel like you’re there, experiencing every moment alongside the filmmaker.

That’s how powerful SFX are. But you’ve got to get them right.

You want your sound editing to be crisp and clear, enhancing your visual content, not distracting from it. 

The best way to achieve this is by using a directional mic at the point of filming. Something like the Rode VideoMic Pro will capture the exact audio you want to focus on, and none of the annoying background noise. 

Alternatively, you can find SFX that match your clips. Download them and line them up with the footage on your timeline. YouTube has an entire sound effects library , or you can search on sites like Freesound or Zapsplat . It can be fun playing around with different sounds. Layer them on top of one another and create the perfect atmosphere that’ll really bring your video to life.

The list of free sound effects in the Youtube Audio Library is pretty extensive

We hope you’ve found these tips useful for learning how to edit great travel videos of your own. You can connect with us on YouTube where we’d love to check out your work!

Hey Are Ole! Narrating over a video is something I’ve never done, but I’ve certainly come across other videos I’ve enjoyed watching that use this storytelling technique (plenty bad ones too : /). The ones that work for me personally combine good editing techniques (snappy pace, a mixture of cuts and editing effects) with relevant and interesting narration that work with the images on screen to tell the story. I think it’s still good to have a clear idea of what you want to film right from the start, but it can be easier to create the actual story afterwards …  Read more »

5 Apps To Help You Create The Best Travel Videos

Looking for an easy way to document your trip? Making a video of your travels is one of the best ways to remember your amazing adventures. There are a lot of apps out there that can help you compile pictures and clips from your trip into a final video you can post and share with friends! Here are some of our favourites.

Record second-long snip-its each day and this app will chronologically string them together in a single video. This app also links with other social media, so you can directly post from the app. There are also two variations within this application: Super Seconds will give you an additional half a second to record in your clips and 1 Second Everyday Crowds which showcases clips from other users.

Capture the vibe of your trip! This app will compile photo bursts into an animation. You can set reminders to take bursts over any time interval you would like, whether that’s daily or a matter of minutes throughout a single day.

After uploading your photos and videos into a timeline you can let Adobe automatically create your video or manually trim and edit them yourself. You can color correct clips and even apply Instagram-like filters. You can also send it to your desktop to Premiere Pro to perfect your clip further. If you already have an Adobe Profile, your creation will also automatically back up to the Adobe Cloud.

This app will create a video for you in only three easy steps! After choosing one of four editing styles: traveler, fashion, country, or clean, you then upload your footage, and select a music track, leaving Magisto to do the rest! You can also upgrade to premium and professional plans to add even more professional-like quality to your videos.

Capturing your clips horizontally is often a basic requirement for creating the best final videos. Use Horizon Camera to capture your footage horizontally no matter your phone’s position... no more awkwardly tilted shots! Easy peasy.

Video editing can be challenging, but take advantage of some of these great apps to ease the process as you look to document your next adventure.

Frequently Asked Questions

9 Best Video Editing Software For Bloggers (in 2024)

Written by Ankit Singla

3K Followers

Last Updated on:

by Ankit Singla

Ready to level up your blogging strategy with video content?

You’ll need an awesome video creation tool for that. 

In this post, I compiled the top nine video editing software for bloggers. 

Let’s cut to the chase. 

Movavi is a tad ahead of the competition in terms of price, features, user-friendliness, and overall app performance. Use its lineup of templates, advanced audio controls, image editing tools, transition effects, stickers, stock assets, and more to create eye-popping videos in no time.

The Benefits of Video Content in Blogging

Videos continue to dominate the content marketing landscape, and it’s not hard to see why. 

Here are some of the top reasons why you need to incorporate videos into your blogging strategy:

1. Provide a better learning experience for your audience

Video content makes it easier to digest technical information—from DIY projects and software tutorials. 

Jeff Geerling , for example, regularly publishes YouTube content and embeds them in his blog posts. The video usually explains the topic, highlights key takeaways, or shows step-by-step instructions while the article elaborates on crucial details. 

2. Get your target audience’s attention

Video has become the internet’s favorite content format, be it short-form videos on Instagram or full-length tutorials on YouTube. 

Statistics show that people spend an average of 17 hours per week watching videos online. Without videos in your blogging strategy, you’ll miss out on a lot of attention from your target audience. 

I, myself, publish YouTube videos to generate hundreds of thousands of views and raise brand awareness for my own blog. It’s all about targeting topics that your audience wants to learn and providing just enough value to pique their interest—driving them straight to your website.

3. Maximize your blogging profits

Apart from grabbing attention, videos are highly effective in converting viewers into paying customers. 

Data from Wyzowl shows that 92% of marketers are happy with the ROI of their video marketing efforts. This boils down to video content’s ability to trigger specific emotions, quickly highlight product features, and put viewers in a buying mood. 

Remember, you don’t need your own products to generate sales with video content. 

KeebNews , for example, embeds keyboard review videos in their blog posts to generate affiliate sales. Their video highlights the details that potential customers want to see, while the article contains technical information and their affiliate links.

4. Build your social media presence 

Publishing simple videos on social media is a surefire way to garner engagement, gain followers, and skyrocket your social media presence. 

According to The 2023 Content Benchmarks Report by Sprout Social, 66% of social media users find short-form videos engaging, whereas 37% think the same for live videos. The best part is, these are among the easiest and cheapest video formats to produce.

As an example, travel blogger Matthew Kepnes —AKA “Nomadic Matt”—leverages video sharing on platforms like YouTube to bring more views to his blog. Lately, however, he focuses on Instagram Reels to garner thousands of views without spending days putting together long-form videos. 

5. Video content is easier than ever to create

Another reason why video content is great for today’s bloggers is how easy it is to make them nowadays. 

Most modern smartphones are capable enough of capturing high-quality footage. In addition, social media websites also have native video editing features that can help anyone publish captivating clips. 

Of course, powerful video creation tools are more accessible now than ever—not just in terms of price, but also in usability. 

According to Wyzowl’s Video Marketing Statistics 2023, 41% of first-time video marketers found it easy to create video content in-house. 

Types of Video Content for Bloggers

Not sure how to incorporate video content into your blogging strategy? 

Below are some ideas that will get your creative juices flowing: 

• Introduction videos: If your goal is to engage and encourage your audience to read a blog post, an introduction video works wonders. Focus on introducing the topic, explaining a relevant concept, sharing the results, or mentioning pain points to draw readers in. 
• Tutorial and how-to videos: Videos packed with valuable information, such as step-by-step instructions, can generate a lot of engagement on social media and video-sharing sites like YouTube. They can also be embedded in blog posts that cover a much broader topic, like pillar posts and “ultimate guides.” 
• Faceless videos using stock footage: Use stock video clips to easily create short-form videos with a simple voiceover. This video format works great when sharing quick tips or hacks related to your niche. 
• Product reviews and demos: Although video reviews require more preparation and effort to create, they’re effective in generating conversions. This is useful if you’re affiliate marketing or promoting your own product.
• Interviews and discussions: Interview videos with experts, influencers, and industry leaders can capture a large audience, especially if you invite someone popular. You can use a virtual conferencing tool to simplify the logistics involved with this video content strategy. 
• Animated explanations: Explainer videos are easy to create and even easier to consume for online viewers. Modern video editing apps provide templates and drag-and-drop tools to help you build animated explainers in no time. 
• Behind-the-scenes content: Another perfect format for short-form videos is “behind-the-scenes” content. Some ideas include giving your followers a tour of your office and sharing your daily routines. 
• Travel and exploration videos: Visual content is a must for travel bloggers who are new to the competition. Well-made exploration videos, in particular, will help you get views and win followers on platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. 
• Event coverage: Attending (or hosting) events is a golden opportunity to generate unique, evergreen video content for your blog. Events can also be covered and broadcasted live, which drives up engagement through live audience interactions and FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). 
• Ad videos: Despite their reputation, video ads are highly effective in raising brand awareness and generating blog traffic. Video ads are also easy to produce—thanks to numerous templates and drag-and-drop tools from modern video creation apps.

Ready to roll with any of the video content ideas above?

Don’t worry—you don’t need a well-funded production crew to start leveraging video content. 

This takes us to…

Top Video Creation Tools for Bloggers

With the tools below, start creating publish-ready videos that will magnetize visitors to your blog. 

Let’s start with my top picks: 

Movavi offers video-making tools that fit the needs of beginners and seasoned content creators alike. It has everything you need to create studio-quality videos for content marketing, such as AI-powered motion tracking, manual audio adjustments, scene detection, and more. 

To help beginners learn Movavi’s interface, the app kicks off with a guided tour. Feel free to skip it if you’re already familiar with how video editing tools work. 

Besides, the Movavi app is built for streamlined workflows. You import assets in the content section, use video-editing features from the main toolbar, mash everything together in the timeline bar, and preview your work in the top-right corner. 

Movavi features 

Movavi is loaded with features that let you whip up professional video content in minutes. For advanced users, there are tons of in-depth video editing tools waiting to be explored. 

1. Quick Movie/Slideshow Wizard mode

The Quick Movie feature is perfect for bloggers who intend to use video in their daily content strategy. With this feature, professional-level video creation is simplified into five steps: 

• Step 1: Add your content assets. 
• Step 2: Pick a transition template.
• Step 3: Choose your background music or upload your own. 
• Step 4: Preview your work and add the finishing touches.
• Step 5: Export your video, share it online, or make additional changes.

2. Drag-and-drop video editing tools

Add flavor to your videos using Movavi’s drag-and-drop interface. Use the main toolbar to insert title screens, transition effects, stickers, filters, and extra effects to create thumb-stopping video posts. 

3. Granular video control

With Movavi, you can polish your content with advanced video controls. Make color adjustments, animate visual elements, implement video stabilization, automatically detect scenes, insert your logo, and more. 

4. Advanced audio editing tools

Enhance your content’s audio using Movavi’s streamlined audio controls. Some of the audio editing tools include the equalizer, compressor, reverberation, beat detection, and background noise removal. 

5. Built-in stock media library 

No time or resources to create custom assets? Use Movavi’s in-app stock asset library to produce original video content in minutes. 

Stock assets are available across several tools, such as the title builder, asset importer, and effects menu. 

VEED is a modern, browser-based video editing app designed to keep video editing as simple as possible. 

The minimal interface features clean menus and beginner-friendly video editing tools. While it lacks advanced video and audio controls, the quality you get out of VEED is more than enough for social media publishing. 

VEED features

VEED may not be equipped for heavy-duty video editing, but it has features that match most blogger’s needs. 

1. Easy-to-use recording options

Take advantage of VEED’s numerous recording options to save time in your video production workflow. Record directly from your camera, use screen capture, record audio, and more.  

2. Speed up video creation with customizable templates

Similar to Movavi, VEED helps you speed up content creation through dozens of customizable templates. Find the perfect template by specifying your niche and desired aspect ratio (square, landscape, or portrait). 

3. Video elements tailored to social media

VEED includes video elements that social media users will love. Quickly insert emojis, animated stickers, GIFs, shapes, popular brand logos, CTA pop-ups, and other graphics in a snap.

4. Easy audio and captions

Use VEED’s audio controls and captioning tool to deliver a more impactful experience on social media. Captions are incredibly important for engaging social media users who enable autoplay, but automatically disable sound playback. 

3. Filmora 

Filmora by Wondershare is another desktop-based video editing app with a versatile set of features for different content creators. Quickly layer your clips with effects, audio tracks, stickers, and transitions using the beginner-friendly interface.

Filmora features

Check out some of Filmora’s noteworthy features for video content creation:

4. Customizable toolbar

Personalize your experience with a custom toolbar that perfectly suits your workflow. Combine tools like motion tracking, AI matting, text-to-speech, color matching, and more into one accessible location. 

If your goal is to produce video content for social media en masse, InVideo is worth checking out. With a massive library of customizable templates, focus on developing your content strategy and promoting posts. 

InVideo features

Here’s a quick overview of InVideo’s features:

1. AI text-to-video

InVideo’s AI tool lets you convert text scripts into video content. Simply choose a template based on the video content type you want to create. 

2. Collage templates

Use collage video templates if you need to showcase multiple clips or images in one frame. Feel free to edit each asset’s colors, and dimensions—or pick a different transition effect for your collage. 

3. Mix and match visual elements

Blend together text, music, logos, and various visual elements using InVideo’s drag-and-drop editor. Apply different animations to individual elements and preview the results in real-time. 

4. Templates designed for social media

InVideo’s greatest strength is its collection of video templates tailored to different social media content types. Discover templates for testimonial ads, presentations, special offers, mini listicles, and so on.

1. Add AI voiceovers

Inject your blogging brand into your AI videos by inserting auto-generated narrations. Personalize your voiceover by setting the AI voice’s language, accent, and gender.

Short-Form Video Creation Tools

Short-form videos generate a ton of engagement on TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and other video-sharing sites. 

Here are the tools you should consider for creating short-form videos: 

6. Zoomerang 

Zoomerang is a mobile video creation app with an entire marketplace of templates for social media videos. It’s specifically designed for Instagram Reels, Stories, and TikTok, which are the go-to platforms for short-form videos.

Zoomerang features

• Templates for social media video content: Zoomerang boasts a whopping 1M+ video content templates for social media. These time-saving templates fall under categories like travel, makeup, interior design, food, and other social media-relevant niches.
• Background tools: Remove backgrounds behind your subject and use a different background image or color. Bring subjects along with other visual elements to life with pre-configured animation effects.
• AI tools: Use AI effects and filters to easily create attention-grabbing videos for TikTok and Instagram. The Zoomerang app interface follows the same format as popular social networking platforms, enabling beginners to be productive from day one.  

InShot is another mobile video editing app built for creating video content for social media. Despite its focus on social media videos, the tool is equipped with in-depth features under the hood.

InShot features

• Advanced transition controls: Use anything from basic transitions to advanced glitch effects to weave multiple clips into a cohesive video. Advanced transition effects can be applied whether you’re starting from scratch or using a pre-made template.
• Audio mixer: Mix music, sound effects, and voiceovers using a drag-and-drop editor. This is a feature that a lot of mobile video editing apps lack. 
• Decent selection of video editing tools: InShot has plenty of stickers, stock assets, special effects, and AI-based tools to fuel your video ideas. You can also browse other users’ creations to obtain ideas that generate clicks. 

Animated Video Creation Tools

If animated videos match your blog’s style better than live videos, here are tools to help you create simple animations: 

Although Canva is primarily a graphic design tool, it’s more than capable of producing videos for blogging and social media marketing. The tool allows you to create content with live video clips, but it truly excels when it comes to animated content. 

Canva features

• Social media video templates: Speed up your video creation process with Canva’s diverse library of project templates. Create anything with pre-built projects, including TikTok videos, Facebook Stories, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. 
• In-depth image control: Canva is a goldmine of tools that help you refine visuals. Use AI effects, filters, and advanced image controls to fine-tune what your audience sees. 
• Annotation/Drawing tools: Create animated explainer videos and tutorials by drawing directly on the frame. Annotations can be animated and timed, ensuring a smooth and impactful viewing experience for your audience. 

9. Motion Array

Motion Array is a motion graphics tool for all types of content creators. Use it to create premium, animated infographics or combine it with other tools to create dynamic titles, intros, outros, or transition frames. 

Motion Array features

• Flexible templates: With Motion Array’s templates, anyone can create studio-quality animations with just a few customizations. Use templates for titles, text animations, promos, bullet points, data visualizations, and more. 
• Video editor plugins: At its base, Motion Array’s video editing capabilities are limited. But you can expand its functionality with plugins for color grading, keying, sharpening, and particle effects. 
• Community-driven asset library: Motion Array’s community of professional designers makes their assets available for other users. You can choose to follow specific accounts to be up-to-date on their latest work. 

Final Words

Whether you need short-form videos for social media or in-depth explainer videos to increase sales, your first step is to choose the perfect video creation tool. 

The tools mentioned above contain some of the best options for bloggers. You don’t need a studio’s budget or a full professional crew to create captivating videos—all of the tools above are designed for one-man bloggers and solopreneurs.
