Edit YouTube videos without learning a pro suite

A YouTube video usually needs the same few things: trim the dead air, add a title, drop in captions and put music underneath. GOM Mix puts those on a plain timeline, and GOM Lab describes it as editing that needs no manual and no training.

Captions carry most channels, and the editor ships with 124 subtitle presets whose font, colour and style you can change. For emphasis there are 248 stickers and 33 video pack collections you can place straight onto the frame.

Music is the last step, and GOM Mix lists up to 1,000 BGM tracks and sound effects, described as royalty-free. Extra effects such as trendy filters, reverse playback and chroma key sit in the same effect menu.

For a recurring format, such as an intro with the same title every week, you can save edit settings as presets. Templates, 61 of them, give a fast start for anniversaries, events and presentations.

Windows 10 (64-bit) or later is required, with 8 GB of RAM or more. The free trial download lets you cut one real upload before you decide on the $29.00 permanent licence.
