Choose your clips

The first step is choosing your clips. At the top you can see that you can either use portrait or landscape videos for your project. I selected three landscape clips.

Choose your music

Next you choose your music. MatchCut has over 50 different royalty free songs to choose from, with Hollywood-type trailer music and other themes.
