How to make a video for YouTube

Start from scratch or with a YouTube video template. Add your own photos and videos, then drag and drop to the editor. Easy!

Add your own logo or branding. Add custom text. Choose music and stock footage from our library. Whether you keep it simple or customize every detail, WeVideo makes it look great.

Once your video is finished, choose your resolution and download to save it. You can also publish directly to YouTube, or share your video on your website.
