Videopad Video Editing Features

VideoPad is the perfect balance between too much and not enough. Although there are not many options, it offers a reasonable selection of transitions for moving between clips and images, as well as a selection of filters to give them a unique look. In addition to editing 360-degree video, video stabilization is another helpful feature.

Each filter can be previewed with a click before applying it, and You can combine several to create a custom effect or template for reuse. You can also adjust their length via menus.

Videopad Audio Editing Features

VideoPad offers a limited set of audio tools, but it does allow you to mix multiple audio tracks, music, and narration to create a movie soundtrack.

While the text-to-speech features always sounded false, you can record narration directly within the program. There is a great idea in having voice recognition for subtitles, which is only available on the Windows version. However, the implementation falls short of expectations. Although the video was clearly spoken in a quiet environment, it automatically failed to translate into subtitles.

Videopad Content Sharing features

Video creators who publish to YouTube or other social media platforms can use the software because it allows them to share videos directly to platforms such as Dropbox, Flickr, Google Drive, and Vimeo. To avoid unnecessary data sharing, you can save videos to your desktop and upload them yourself.

Download Mac Version ](https://tools.techidaily.com/wondershare/filmora/download/ )

Wondershare Filmora is a versatile post-production application with a built-in video editing tools and effects to edit videos with ease. The tool is usually considered a good competitor of Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro X, etc.

Like any other similar program, even Filmora allows you to blur both landscape and portrait videos. The processes of getting these tasks done are given below:

1. Blur a Part of Video (Landscape Video)

Step 1: Import and Add the Source Video to Timeline

Launch Wondershare Filmora on your Windows or Mac computer (MacBook Pro M1 is used here), make sure that the 16:9 (Widescreen) layout preset is selected under the Select Project Aspect Ratio section on the flash screen, and click New Project.

Next, click to select My Media from the menu bar if not already selected, and from the navigation pane on the left, select Project Media.

Then, click Import from the Media box, select and import the source video to the program, drag the clip from the Media box to the Timeline at the bottom, and when the confirmation box appears, choose the option either under the Keep Project Settings or Match to Media sections to add the video to the Timeline.

Step 2: Add Blur Effect

Go to Effects from the menu bar, select Default from the top of the navigation pane on the left, and select Utility from the available list. From the right box, drag the Mosaic effect, and place it on a separate layer above the video track in the Timeline.

Step 3: Customize the Effect to Blur a Part of Video

Optionally, you can drag the side handles of the effect in the Timeline to adjust the duration of its visibility, and click OK from the bottom-right area of the upper-left box to save the changes.

2. Blur a Vertical Video

Download Mac Version ](https://tools.techidaily.com/wondershare/filmora/download/ )

Step 1: Import a Vertical Video and Add It to the Timeline

Use the above method to import the source vertical video to Filmora X and add it to the Timeline. However, it is important to choose the button under the Keep Project Settings label when the confirmation box appears, so you get some real estate because of the landscape mode to add the blur effect.

Step 2: Add Background Blur

Go to Effects and choose Default from the left pane, as explained earlier. Next, expand the Filters tree if not already expanded, click to select Background Blur from the list, from the box on the right, choose and drag your preferred blur effect, and place it on a separate layer in the Timeline above the video track.

Step 3: Customize the Blur Effect

Double-click the Blur effect in the Timeline, and use the available sliders to customize the effect that best fits your needs.

You can find more details about how to blur the background in the portrait video with Filmora .

Conclusion

If you want to have full control over the post-production process, having an efficient desktop program like Wondershare Filmora X would be something you might be looking for. On the other hand, if you are not a professional editor or are not much into editing and prefer playing around with the tools for personal use, going for a decent web portal to blur video online is your best bet.

Part 1 6 Best Free MP3 Converter for Windows 10 / 11

As promised, we start this off with the best audio converter (Windows 10/11) tools. We’ve decided to go very simple with this list, providing a brief description of all of the FREE MP3 Converters (Windows), a URL that will lead you to the website where you can get the converter, and an image that should show you how the converter’s interface looks like.

01EaseUs MobiMover

EaseUs MobiMover is an audio converter for Windows 10 and 11 that you can use in order to easily convert videos (in various formats) into MP3 (as is shown in the image below. It’s a FREEmium software though — which means that it’s use is limited until you purchase the paid version of the software.

02Freemake Video Converter

Freemake Video Converter is the first 100% FREE MP3 converter for Windows 10 on this list! They keep the software updated from donations, so you can choose how much money you can spare for using the service! It’s a very simple software besides (as is shown in the image below). It does feature some video editing tools, but its main function is conversion (which includes video-to-audio conversion!)

03VSDC

Much like Freemake, our next MP3 converter for Windows 10 and 11, called VSDC, is completely FREE — as they run primarily on donations. That does mean that it’s not the most advanced program though — evident from the rather old-school interface (shown in the image below). But, regardless of the lack of abundance in tools, it should function just fine as an audio-video-converter for Windows 10 (and vice versa.)

04Convertio.co

With Convertio.co, we break the mold a bit! This is not a software, but it does still work for Windows users — as it requires only that you have a working browser from which you can access the website (URL linked below!) As you can see from the image, it works much like most online MP3 converters — you upload a file from your desktop, wait for it to finish converting, and then download it!

05Free Convert

Free Convert is another online MP3 convert for Windows 10 users that would prefer not to download or install software. And, just like Covertio, it works by uploading the files you want to convert from your computer, waiting for the converters tool to finish converting it, and then downloading the finished product. It is, of course, FREE — but, similar to the first tool on this list, if you want to unlock some of its features, you’ll have to pay for the premium version.

06DVDVideoSoft

With DVDVideoSoft, we’re back to an audio-video converter for Windows 10 that you have to download and install to work! It’s a FREEmium software too. That means that you’ll have to pay in order to unlock certain features. But, it works as a solid converter even without that.

Part 2 6 Best Free and Paid Audio Editor for PC and Mac

For this next section, we turn our attention to a couple of MP3 editors (Windows 10 and Mac compatible.) This list will be a little more detailed than the first, since there are many differences between the tools that we’ll be introducing (both FREE and PAID), but it should give you a clear idea on which would work best for you.

Audacity is an MP3 editor (Windows 10, Max, and Linux compatible!)

So, if that’s what you’re looking for, then it’s a good choice to consider.

Reasons to Buy:

● Clean, modern interface

● Beginner-friendly editing tools

Reasons to Buy:

● FREE, open-source software

Part 3 5 MP3 Music Players for Windows 10/11 PC

The last of the lists in this article is a short one for the best MP3 players for Windows 10! This is a straightforward list, much like the first. And, we’ll be focusing on MP3 players for Windows 10 only (although some of these will work for Mac as well!)

01iTunes

Despite appearances, iTunes actually makes for a great MP3 player for Windows 10 users. After all, it’s interface is clean and it is regularly updated. So, you never have to deal with bugs! (And just in case you weren’t aware, you can add your own original audio to your iTunes library! So, it isn’t like you have to purchase media from the iTunes store just to listen to it.)

02Groove Music

Groove Music is a local Mp3 player for Windows 10 that you can download from the Microsoft App Store. It functions much like iTunes — in that you can add original music or audio to the app library (as well as purchase audio from the store — if that’s what you want.)

03Macgo Media Player

Our next pick, Macgo, is not strictly an MP3 player for Windows 10, but it can work for that purpose if that’s all you need it for. As a media player though, it does function as a video player as well. And, like our previous picks, it’s FREE so you don’t have to worry about paying in order to use it.

04PowerDVD

Again, our next pick is more of a general media player than strictly a MP3 Player for Windows 10 users, but it works just as well if all you’re looking for is to occasionally play the audio that you’ve converted or trimmed!

05Musicbee

We’re back to strictly MP3 players for Windows with Musicbee! The best part of this app is, undoubtedly, the fact that it has several view options. So, if you want, you have your audio playing from a mini audio player (rather than the full interface — as is shown below). It’s also useful for organizing your media collection!

Part 4 How to Trim Mp3 on Windows 10 Easily

For this next part, we’re going to go over how you might go about trimming your converted audio with an MP3 cutter for Windows. (Note, a lot of the audio editors that we introduced in Part 2 of this article should be capable of this! And, they all work in much the same way.)

01Step 1: Launch MP3 Cutter for Windows 10! Start!

First, launch the MP3 cutter for Windows 10 that you downloaded.

For this example, we’ll be using Joyoshare Media Cutter. And, the way to start is to select the “Open” button, which will prompt you to choose which audio you want to cut.

02Step 2: Choose Output Option

Next, select the output format that you want your audio to be exported in. (Most MP3 cutters for Windows 10 offers a variety for you to choose from).

03Step 3: Select and Trim Mode!

Joyoshare has two methods of trimming available. The first is the select and trim mode, which is shown in the image below! For this, you use the sliders provider to select which portion of the audio you want to keep!

04Step 4: Use Encoder Trimmer

If you want a cleaner trim, you click the “Edit” icon beside the audio that you want to trim until you are moved to the encoder window (shown in the image below). This will allow you to pinpoint the best place to cut your audio!

05Step 5: Save Your Audio!

Once you’re done trimming, remember to save!

With Joyoshare, the method of doing this is to select the “Start” button, which will prompt the trimmer to begin cutting the audio.

Key Takeaways from This Episode

● There are multiple MP3 converters for Windows and Mac that you can use in order to convert videos to an audio file that you can use for certain projects.

● Of course, if you want your finished project to sound clean, you’ll probably need a functional audio editor for that! And, for this matter, we recommend advanced video editing software like Filmora Pro.

● Just in case you want to review what your converted audio sounds like, consider one of the audio players that are available for Windows and Mac!

● If you find that your audio needs some trimming, a quick trim with an audio cutter should do the trick. It’s very simple to do!

Again, our next pick is more of a general media player than strictly a MP3 Player for Windows 10 users, but it works just as well if all you’re looking for is to occasionally play the audio that you’ve converted or trimmed!

05Musicbee

We’re back to strictly MP3 players for Windows with Musicbee! The best part of this app is, undoubtedly, the fact that it has several view options. So, if you want, you have your audio playing from a mini audio player (rather than the full interface — as is shown below). It’s also useful for organizing your media collection!

Part 4 How to Trim Mp3 on Windows 10 Easily

For this next part, we’re going to go over how you might go about trimming your converted audio with an MP3 cutter for Windows. (Note, a lot of the audio editors that we introduced in Part 2 of this article should be capable of this! And, they all work in much the same way.)

01Step 1: Launch MP3 Cutter for Windows 10! Start!

First, launch the MP3 cutter for Windows 10 that you downloaded.

For this example, we’ll be using Joyoshare Media Cutter. And, the way to start is to select the “Open” button, which will prompt you to choose which audio you want to cut.

02Step 2: Choose Output Option

Next, select the output format that you want your audio to be exported in. (Most MP3 cutters for Windows 10 offers a variety for you to choose from).

03Step 3: Select and Trim Mode!

Joyoshare has two methods of trimming available. The first is the select and trim mode, which is shown in the image below! For this, you use the sliders provider to select which portion of the audio you want to keep!

04Step 4: Use Encoder Trimmer

If you want a cleaner trim, you click the “Edit” icon beside the audio that you want to trim until you are moved to the encoder window (shown in the image below). This will allow you to pinpoint the best place to cut your audio!

05Step 5: Save Your Audio!

Once you’re done trimming, remember to save!

With Joyoshare, the method of doing this is to select the “Start” button, which will prompt the trimmer to begin cutting the audio.

● If you find that your audio needs some trimming, a quick trim with an audio cutter should do the trick. It’s very simple to do!

Part 1 6 Best Free MP3 Converter for Windows 10 / 11

As promised, we start this off with the best audio converter (Windows 10/11) tools. We’ve decided to go very simple with this list, providing a brief description of all of the FREE MP3 Converters (Windows), a URL that will lead you to the website where you can get the converter, and an image that should show you how the converter’s interface looks like.

01EaseUs MobiMover

EaseUs MobiMover is an audio converter for Windows 10 and 11 that you can use in order to easily convert videos (in various formats) into MP3 (as is shown in the image below. It’s a FREEmium software though — which means that it’s use is limited until you purchase the paid version of the software.

02Freemake Video Converter

Freemake Video Converter is the first 100% FREE MP3 converter for Windows 10 on this list! They keep the software updated from donations, so you can choose how much money you can spare for using the service! It’s a very simple software besides (as is shown in the image below). It does feature some video editing tools, but its main function is conversion (which includes video-to-audio conversion!)

03VSDC

Much like Freemake, our next MP3 converter for Windows 10 and 11, called VSDC, is completely FREE — as they run primarily on donations. That does mean that it’s not the most advanced program though — evident from the rather old-school interface (shown in the image below). But, regardless of the lack of abundance in tools, it should function just fine as an audio-video-converter for Windows 10 (and vice versa.)

04Convertio.co

With Convertio.co, we break the mold a bit! This is not a software, but it does still work for Windows users — as it requires only that you have a working browser from which you can access the website (URL linked below!) As you can see from the image, it works much like most online MP3 converters — you upload a file from your desktop, wait for it to finish converting, and then download it!

05Free Convert

Free Convert is another online MP3 convert for Windows 10 users that would prefer not to download or install software. And, just like Covertio, it works by uploading the files you want to convert from your computer, waiting for the converters tool to finish converting it, and then downloading the finished product. It is, of course, FREE — but, similar to the first tool on this list, if you want to unlock some of its features, you’ll have to pay for the premium version.

06DVDVideoSoft

With DVDVideoSoft, we’re back to an audio-video converter for Windows 10 that you have to download and install to work! It’s a FREEmium software too. That means that you’ll have to pay in order to unlock certain features. But, it works as a solid converter even without that.

For this next section, we turn our attention to a couple of MP3 editors (Windows 10 and Mac compatible.)

01iTunes

Despite appearances, iTunes actually makes for a great MP3 player for Windows 10 users. After all, it’s interface is clean and it is regularly updated. So, you never have to deal with bugs!
