About this course

SiteSmith Studio is the video and audio editor in your Workspace. This course is for anyone who needs to make short videos or audio for their business without learning a professional editing suite: promos, how-to clips, social posts and podcast episodes.

You'll start a project in the right shape, bring in your clips, arrange and trim them on a multi-track timeline, and add titles, transitions and color. Then you'll clean up voice recordings, add music, record your screen or camera, and export a finished file.

The examples follow Harbor & Pine Coffee as it makes a short promo for its fall menu.
