Editing videos in Lightroom

This article was translated from Dutch with the help of AI. Read the original.

Lightroom was not designed for editing videos, so the options are fairly limited. But you can still do quite a lot.

You can achieve quite a lot by adjusting the colours, adding contrast and putting clips together in the order you want. Handy if you are just starting with video editing.

First, choose File, Import Photos and Videos. Select one or more video files and continue with Import. Double-click the thumbnail at the bottom of the screen to get a larger preview.

You can play the clip with the 'play' button or view it frame by frame with the buttons to the left and right of this triangular button.

You can then adjust the exposure or white balance in the right-hand column.

In the video below from photoshopCAFE, you can see how to use Lightroom to:
1. Adjust the colour quality of your video
2. Use presets in your video
3. Extract photos from your video
