Make a timelapse video online
If you are looking to create beautiful time lapses for skipping over boring video parts, to make videos funnier or just to showcase a beautiful landscape you are in the right place. Bring over videos you recorded on any camera and transform them into a timelapse in minutes with our online video maker.
Showcase beautiful scenery
A time lapse video is a great way to showcase landscapes, cityscapes or nightscapes. It will add a quality feel to your video and keep your viewers engaged.
Speed through instructions
If you are creating tutorials, how-to videos, cooking videos or any other instructional video it is worth it to use timelapses for some parts of the video where people don’t need to watch the content at regular speed to save some time.
Make Instagram, TikTok or Story videos
People watching videos on social media don’t usually have the time or patience to watch long videos, using a timelapse is a great way to share ideas faster and make sure people watch them.
Jump over boring video parts
Some video parts might be worth watching but maybe they don’t have the same priority as others, especially in gaming videos, skimming through them with a timelapse is a great way to keep that content in your video.#

I like Flixier because I can use it anywhere I go and I don`t need a lot of computer requirements but great internet connection. I like how fast it is when it comes to rendering videos and still have the opportunity to continue or start another project while waiting. I appreciate the continuous updates and adjustments because it is necessary for a video editing tool.
My main criteria for an editor was that the interface is familiar and most importantly that the renders were in the cloud and super fast. Flixier more than delivered in both. I've now been using it daily to edit Facebook videos for my 1M follower page.

What I like most about Flixier is the flexibility to edit the captions, both in terms of the text and the time where it starts and finish showing it. It gives you full control.
This online free program was extremely easy to use, implement, and integrate into my 9-12th grade tech classes. The projects turned out great and were easy to export. I liked having multiple ways to upload pictures. The software was also easy to understand.
