Step-by-step

1

Trim each goal

Open the Video Trimmer and cut every goal to a consistent 3-6 seconds β€” start on the shot, end on the celebration. Matching clip lengths is what makes a montage feel tight.

2

Add slow-mo beats

For the best two or three goals, use the Video Speed Changer at 0.5x to add a dramatic beat. Keep the rest at real time so the montage has rhythm instead of dragging.

3

Merge and export

Open the Video Merger, arrange the clips in order, and confirm they share the same resolution and frame rate so the joins are seamless. Export at 1080x1920 for Instagram or 1920x1080 for YouTube.

Quality check before publishing

  • Play the first and last three seconds to catch bad trims, black frames, missing audio, or a visible jump at the end.
  • Confirm the exported file matches the important settings above, especially duration, aspect ratio, resolution, codec, and file size.
  • Preview once on the target platform or device before deleting the original source file.
  • If the clip will be reposted publicly, strip metadata first and verify no private names, GPS data, or device fingerprints remain.

FAQ

Why are there glitches where clips join?

Merging works cleanly when every clip shares the same resolution, frame rate, and codec. Before using the Video Merger, normalize each trimmed clip to the same spec so the joins are seamless.

Should each goal be the same length?

Roughly, yes. Trim real-time goals to 3-6 seconds for consistent pacing, then stretch only your two or three best moments with a 0.5x slow-mo beat for emphasis.

Does this run in my browser?

Yes β€” every step in this guide uses an in-browser FFmpeg WebAssembly tool. Your video never uploads to a server and never leaves your device.
