1. Uploading Your Video

Start by uploading your video to the Wave.video editor. Once the upload is complete, you'll be ready to use the Video Shortening feature.

2. Accessing the Shorten Video Feature

Next, locate and click on the "Shorten video" button. This will bring up options for how you would like to shorten your video.

3. Selecting Your Video Shortening Option

You will be presented with two options:

  • Shorten your video: This option will create a shorter version of your entire video.

  • Suggest Shorts: This option will process your video and suggest up to 10 different short clips, each around 30 seconds to 1 minute in length, suitable for platforms like YouTube Shorts and TikTok.

4. Processing Your Video

  • Shorten your video: When you select this option, the tool will analyze and trim your video to create a shorter, cohesive version.

  • Suggest Shorts: When you choose this option, the tool will analyze your video and generate up to 10 different short clips, providing a variety of engaging snippets.

5. Previewing and Finalizing Your Results

After the processing is complete, you can preview the results for each option. If you are satisfied with the shortened video or the suggested shorts, you can either add them to your project or replace your existing video with the new versions.

Additional Tips
