FlexClip Review 2023

In this FlexClip Review I will cover some of the key features and functionality of FlexClip which is a cloud-based video creation app which you can try for free.

Creating video content has increased in popularity because it is an effective visual mode of communication. With video, you can communicate your message in a way that connects with your audience effectively.

The popularity of video will continue to rise, but you need to be able to create videos which is not always easy. With FlexClip you can create different types of videos using professionally-designed premade video templates.

You can also create videos from scratch or use AI to generate videos using prompts. This makes the video process faster and easier. I've been using FlexClip for a few years now and the development team has drastically enhanced this video creation app.

In this FlexClip Review blog, I will cover some of the enhancements and improvements as well as new features that have been introduced, including the use of AI (Artificial Intelligence).

In this video below, I do a brief FlexClip Review based on my own firsthand experience using this video creation app. As you will see, it is packed with a lot of features and functionality which makes video creation fairly easy even if you're new to creating videos. In the next section down below, you will find my demo and walk-through video, in which I walk you through the user-interface of FlexClip.

FLEXCLIP OVERVIEW & WALKTHROUGH

In this video below, I give you a demo of FlexClip and walk you through the user-interface. What I like most about this cloud-based video creation app is that it is easy to use and is especially great for beginners. The FlexClip user-interface is simplistic which makes it easy to create videos with not much of a learning curve.

The basic steps involved in create a video in FlexClip are fairly simple: (1) you upload your media (images or video clips); (2) add animated text and customize it; (3) and finally preview the video and export the video as an MP4. You can add music and even record your own voice-over for each scene (if you want to). FlexClip has a built-in library of royalty-free stock images and video footage, as well as background music. With FlexClip you can create square and vertical videos which are great for social media.

HOW TO CREATE VIDEOS IN FLEXCLIP

Earlier in this blog post, I mentioned that you can create different types of videos in FlexClip. The professionally-designed video templates help you create videos fast. However, if you want more flexibility in the creation process, you can create your own videos from scratch. They've added many more video templates in different categories to help you create your videos.

In this video below, I walk you through the process of creating a video from scratch, step-by-step. I focus on creating a short demo video from scratch. The basic process of creating videos from scratch in FlexClip is fairly simple: (1) you create a blank project; (2) add scenes; (3) add images and video clips to your scenes; (3) add animated text to your scenes; (4) add background music or record a voice-over for each scene; (5) preview the video; (6) and finally export the video as an MP4.

The rendering of the video projects is fairly quick. In my experience, it took less than a minute to render a 30 second video. The rendering speed will of course depend on how long your project is and what type of media you've used in your project.

FLEXCLIP PLANS COMPARISON

As mentioned earlier, FlexClip is free to use, but there are currently two premium plans: Plus and Business. The free version has limitation in terms of features and functionality. In this video below, I compare some of the key features in the free vs premium plans, though it's not the most up-to-date.

• First of all, in the free plan, you're limited to creating up to 10-minute videos in duration. Comparatively, you can create up to unlimited duration videos in the premium plans.
• Secondly, you're limited to a maximum of 12 saved projects as opposed to, unlimited projects in the premium plans.
• Thirdly, you're limited up to 720p HD resolution downloads in the free version. Where as, 1080p Full HD quality resolution downloads in the premium plans.
• Fourthly, you're limited to using one stock audio and video per project, in the free version, compared to 5 stock videos (in the Plus plan) and unlimited stock videos (in the PLUS plan).
• Finally, you will have a FlexClip watermark in your rendered videos, in the free version and no FlexClip watermarks, in the premium plans.

Additionally, in the new FlexClip version you get AI credit for the AI features in the video creation app. You can check the pricing page for more details on this.

In terms of the pricing, the Plus plan costs $120 (paid annually) and the Business plan costs $239 (paid annually). These prices are subject to change, so make sure to check the FlexClip website.

In terms of improvements, FlexClip now works on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge and Safari. You can also create folders to better organize your video projects. They have implemented many other smaller improvements based on suggestions I had provided.

Overall, I enjoy using FlexClip as a video creator to create different types if videos. I find it easy to use and the user-interface it user-friendly. That being said, given all the new features and functionality that have been added, it does have a slight learning curve. I've created many video tutorials on how to use FlexClip, so feel free to check them out.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Also, if you're already using FlexClip, feel free to leave your feedback and suggestions for improvements in the comments section below and I will be sure to pass it on to the FlexClip team. Thanks for stopping by!

Firefox 101 Review 2022

Mozilla released Firefox 101 on May 31, 2022. This is the sixth major browser update in 2022.

This is the thirteenth update for the new Proton user-interface which was released in June 2021.

In this blog post, I cover some of the notable changes in this new browser update.

In the past couple of years, Mozilla has been releasing updates almost on a monthly basis for the Firefox web browser. However, not all of their updates include major changes and new features.

In this new Firefox 101 release, there is not much to report in terms of new features, but I will cover a few notable changes in this blog post.

First up, as usual there were several high and medium level security fixes implemented in this new browser update including fixes to bugs and security vulnerabilities to help keep Firefox users safe online.

Secondly, Firefox now supports the prefers-contrast media query which allows sites to detect if the user has requested that web content is presented with a higher (or lower) contrast.

Thirdly, Firefox now allows users to use as many microphones as they want at the same time, during video conferencing. Additionally, you can also switch your microphones at any time, if your conferencing service provider enables this flexibility to do so.

And finally, Mozilla had optimized the Download Flow in Firefox 98 in which you would no longer see a download prompt when downloading files in Firefox similar to how it is in Google Chrome.

Well, Mozilla has now rolled this back. In the Firefox Setting page, under General and Applications, you’ll find two download options: to save the files or; ask whether to open or save files (as I show you in the video below).

So, these were some of the notable changes in this new Firefox 101 browser update. You can check the list of detailed changes in the Release Notes.

In terms of the Browsermark Benchmark test results, the overall performance of Firefox remained steady compared to the earlier version. On the other hand, Google Chrome continues to outperform. Thanks for stopping by!

How to Replace Music in YouTube Video

In this blog post, I will walk you through the step-by-step process involved in How to Replace Music in a YouTube Video using the built-in Video Editor in YouTube Studio.

The built-in YouTube video editor is a basic editor, however, it can come very handy when you need to edit a video that you’ve already uploaded to your YouTube channel.

 This can be especially helpful if you’ve got a copyright claim on your video and need to change or replace the music and release your video from the copyright claim.

Bear in mind that I’m using the web version of YouTube Studio and I’m not sure if this feature is available yet in the Android or iOS YouTube Studio apps.

If you prefer following video instructions, I've created a step-by-step video in which I walk you through the whole process. You can check the video below. Further down this blog post, you will also find written instructions on how to do the same.

To access the built-in YouTube video editor, go into Edit mode for the specific video. Once you do so, you will see a link to the YouTube video editor (in the left side panel) if you're using the web version of YouTube.

 
To add music from the YouTube Audio Library, click on the audio button in the top-left panel where you see several video editing tools. This will open the YouTube Audio Library, you can then hover your mouse, over a specific song/music track and click the ADD button.

This will add the song/music track to your current audio track in the timeline. The newly added song/music track can be moved, by dragging along the timeline. You will also see a button on the newly added song/music track that looks like 3 sliders. This button allows you to adjust the mic level (volume) using the slider.

If you move it to the extreme left position, it will maintain your current audio, while also adding the newly added song/music track. If you move it to the extreme right position, it will replace the original audio.

So you can adjust the level accordingly, based on your needs. You can preview the changes before you save them. You can also revert back to the original video, if you do not like the changes you’ve made.

Hope this tutorial helped. If you can check my other YouTube Help tutorials. If you still have further question or concerns, please feel free to use the comments section below. Thanks for stopping by!

Firefox 100 Review 2022

Mozilla released Firefox 100 on May 3, 2022. This is the fifth major browser update in 2022.

This is the twelfth update for the new Proton user-interface which was released in June 2021. In this blog post, I cover some of the notable changes in this new browser update.

In the past couple of years, Mozilla has been releasing updates almost on a monthly basis for the Firefox web browser. However, not all of their updates include major changes and new features.

In this new Firefox 100 release, there is not much to report in terms of new features, but I will cover a couple of notable changes in this blog post.

First up, an improvement in PiP (or Picture-in-Picture mode). Firefox, now supports captions & subtitles display on YouTube, Prime Video, and Netflix videos you watch in Picture-in-Picture. Firefox will also support video captions on websites that use WebVTT (or Web Video Text Track) format like Coursera, CBC, and others.

Secondly, Firefox Spell Check in multiple languages. If you have Spelling Check enabled, Firefox spell checking now checks spelling in multiple languages. You would need to add the respective language dictionaries.

Thirdly, Firefox Color Schemes. Users can now choose preferred color schemes for websites you can do so, by going to “about:preferences” and in the GENERAL tab under the WEBSITE APPEARANCE section.

And lastly, Firefox 100 is the first 3-digit version. This may cause some websites to break due to the new 3-digit number. You can read about it via this blog post.

So, these were a couple of changes in Firefox 100. You can check the list of detailed changes in the Release Notes.

In terms of the Browsermark Benchmark test results, the overall performance of Firefox remained steady compared to the earlier version. On the other hand, Google Chrome continues to outperform. Thanks for stopping by!

Firefox 99 Review 2022

Mozilla released Firefox 99 on April 5, 2022. This is the fourth major browser update in 2022.

This is the eleventh update for the new Proton user-interface which was released in June 2021.

In this blog post, I cover a couple of the notable changes in this new browser update.

In the past couple of years, Mozilla has been releasing updates almost on a monthly basis for the Firefox web browser.

 However, not all of their updates include major changes and new features. In fact, in this browser update, there were only a couple of notable changes.

First up, a new shortcut in Reader Mode which is a feature in Firefox that allows you to strip away ads and other website content, so you're only left with a clean page with the content of the article.

In Firefox 99, you will find a new shortcut "N" when you want to turn on and off the narrator mode.

Secondly, a small enhancement in the search functionality in the PDF viewer in Firefox. In the new version of Firefox, you will now be able to search words with or without diacritics (or accents).

There were a couple of other minor changes: (1) Firefox now supports credit card auto-fill and capture in Germany and France; (2) The Linux sandbox has been strengthened - processes exposed to web content no longer have access to the X Window system (X11).

So, these were a couple of changes in Firefox 99. You can check the list of detailed changes in the Release Notes.

In terms of the Browsermark Benchmark test results, the overall performance of Firefox remained steady compared to the earlier version. On the other hand, Google Chrome continues to outperform. Thanks for stopping by!

Firefox 98 Review 2022

Mozilla released Firefox 98 on March 8, 2022. This is the third major browser update in 2022.

This is the tenth update for the new Proton user-interface which was first released in June 2021.

In this blog post, I cover some of the notable changes in this new browser update.

In the past couple of years, Mozilla has been releasing updates almost on a monthly basis for the Firefox web browser. However, not all of their updates include major changes and new features.

In this new Firefox 98 release, there is not much to report in terms of new features, but I will cover a couple of notable changes in this blog post.

First up,  Mozilla has optimized the Download Flow. First of all, you will no longer see the download prompt when downloading files in Firefox, unless you changed the settings to "Always Ask". This download behavior is similar to what you see in Google Chrome.

Secondly, once you download a file you will see some new right-click options. For example, you can "Always Open Similar Files" automatically after they are downloaded.

You can open the folder where the files are downloaded. You can now also delete the files right from there. You can check this detailed Firefox Support article.

Next up, Firefox allows users to set a default search engine from one of several built-in search engines options.

In this new Firefox 98 release, some users who had previously set a default engine might notice their default search engine has changed since Mozilla was unable to secure formal permission to continue including certain search engines in Firefox.

So these were some of the notable changes in Firefox 98. You can check the list of detailed changes in the Release Notes.

In terms of the Browsermark Benchmark test results, the overall performance of Firefox remained steady compared to the earlier version. On the other hand, Google Chrome continues to outperform. Hope you found this brief review helpful and thanks for stopping by!
