By Novak Bozovic / August 8, 2019

Producing nicely designed graphics and visuals is one of the most effective ways to attract attention online.

Plus, they can be not-as-intuitive to use, which means that you need to invest your time in learning the ropes.

FlexClip (Web Version) – TechNadu’s Review

First and foremost, we need to tell you that we’ve tested FlexClip via Google Chrome (on a Windows 10 PC). Since this is a Web-based service, it doesn’t rely on your PC’s specs. You only need to have a reliable Web connection and a monitor of a decent video resolution.

Platform Compatibility

FlexClip for Windows

FlexClip is a Web-based service, which means that it runs on a wide range of platforms and devices. There’s a desktop (Windows) version as well. Our Score: 10/10.

There are two ways to run FlexClip. The first option is to simply open it in your favorite Web browser. Even though the service should be fully compatible with any browser out there, it’s recommended to use Google Chrome. As you probably know, video editing requires you to have a powerful machine – but that’s not the case here. Since it’s Web-based, this service is powered by a remote server. What you need to have is a relatively fast Web connection, along with a monitor that lets you preview the webpage in full. Don’t worry, even the most affordable notebooks out there will run FlexClip just fine.

It’s also worth noting that there’s a desktop app for Windows. As far as we can tell, this application is just a Web-wrapper for FlexClip, and you need to have a Web connection active to take full advantage of this application. Therefore, it’s best to use the Web version, which works flawlessly across different platforms and devices.

Installation Process

Sign-Up Form FlexClip

FlexClip doesn’t need to be installed – since it’s Web-based. You can sign-up and start creating your videos in a matter of seconds. Our Score: 10/10.

Since FlexClip is Web-based, you don’t need to install it locally on your device. Instead, simply open its website and then sign-up for FlexClip. This is done by supplying your email address and creating your password. Therefore, you can dive into everything this tool offers within a few minutes of your time.

There’s also another important benefit to using a Web-based application. Your progress is saved in the cloud, so you can easily save your work, close your Web browser – and then continue working on some other device.

User Interface

User Interface FlexClip

In general, FlexClip is easy to use and comes with a very intuitive interface. There are some (slight) problems with the website’s responsiveness, though. Our Score: 9/10.

As said in the introduction, FlexClip is designed to be an alternative to professional-level tools. Since it’s built for average home users, it comes with a simplified UI that’s highly intuitive as well. We’ll walk you through the process of creating a video in the following segment of this review. For now, we’ll explain how everything looks like, so you can get an idea of what to expect.

Once you pick a template, FlexClip will open its main editing interface. The biggest portion of that screen is reserved for your video, which can be previewed in real-time. If you take a look at the screenshots found in this segment, you’ll see this area as a black rectangle. At the bottom, you’ll get to add stock media, your locally stored media, and you can create recordings via your computer’s microphone. At the top, you’ll see a toolbar which changes depending on the selected element. For example, if you select the text, you’ll see different fonts, color variations, and other adjustments.

Font Options in FlexClip

On the left side of the screen, there are three types of elements that you can add to your video. First, there’s text, and it comes via preloaded templates. Just click on any, and you’ll see a real-time preview of how the selected text will show up on your video. You can also insert a fully animated logo as well. In addition, you can add a music track as well as a watermark.

At the bottom of the screen, you’ll see your video’s timeline. You can think of this as individual slides or scenes. There’s a possibility to move or duplicate those, so you can streamline the process of creating your video, and make things a bit faster.

All in all, FlexClip has done a great job of creating a user-friendly UI. However, we recommend checking this service’s online documentation, where you’ll find plenty of helpful tips and tricks. Also, there seems to be a problem with this service’s responsiveness, as the editing page doesn’t scale down properly in every instance (for example, when you split your screen into two windows).

Ease of Use

FlexClip's Editing Pane UI

FlexClip might look like a simple tool, but only until you start exploring all of its features. All in all, you truly get plenty without having to pay for anything. Our Score: 9/10.

Now, we’ll walk you through the process of creating a sample video. Our goal is to explain the basics, so you can understand how easy (or hard, depending on your skills) it would be to use FlexClip. With this said, let’s get started.

Video Templates Present in FlexClip

Font Alignment Tool FlexClip

Video Footage Import

Adding Local Media to FlexClip

We believe that FlexClip can be much more powerful than it appears on first sight. By using your imagination and creativity, you can create some truly authentic videos. So, make sure to explore all of the available options and try to think of how to combine different tools to get different types of results.

Speed & Performance

Video Export Options FlexClip

FlexClip is incredibly quick (including real-time previews), and even exporting files is done in a timely manner. Our Score: 10/10.

Video editing software usually requires you to have a high-end computer. However, this isn’t the case with FlexClip, as its performance relies on backend servers, and not your computer. This is one of the reasons why you get to see real-time previews without any rendering. In other words, this service runs flawlessly and without any issues.

The only situation which requires some waiting is while exporting your videos. As per our tests, a 30-second video takes a bit over 2 minutes to be prepared for exporting in 1080p. This is certainly much faster than what you’d get from other video editing tools.

Customer Support

Support FlexClip Website

FlexClip offers you different ways to learn about this tool, including tips and tricks, frequently asked questions, and more. Our Score: 9.5/10.

FlexClip offers three types of customer support: tutorials, frequently asked questions, and suggestions that you can send to their service development team. There’s also a dedicated section for learning different ways to utilize FlexClip for certain purposes, so you’ll be covered well in all cases.

Let’s not forget that this is a free-of-charge tool, and these usually come with limited customer support. Even though you won’t find options like live chat, pretty much any other communication channel is available. With this said, we conclude that FlexClip has done a marvelous job of educating its users and providing help.

Pricing
