It’s Wondershare Filmora (originally Wondershare Video Editor). With it, you’re able to trim, rotate, crop, merge MP4 files, as well as personalize your MP4 videos with rich text, filter and transitions. Moreover, after you finish MP4 video editing, you can directly share your creation on YouTube, Facebook, or save to any format you want.

How to Easily Edit MP4 Video?
Before we proceed to illustrate every detail on how to edit the MP4 video, you can download the MP4 editor first so you can follow the below steps one by one.
It’s free to download now.
1. Cut MP4 Video
To cut your MP4 video into certain parts, drag and drop the video on the Timeline and highlight it. Then place the red Time Indicator to where you want to cut the video, and click the Scissor button above the timeline.
After that, move the red marker to the end of the scene, and repeat this again to cut the video into several fragments. If you want to cut off the unwanted parts, right click the video and choose “Delete”.
2. Join MP4 Video
To join several MP4 video files into one, you just need to place all the video files on the timeline, adjust the order and hit “Create” to export it.
If you want to make the joined videos look like a really intact movie, just add transitions between clips for smooth change from one to next. To do this, click “Transition” tab on the main screen. Then drag the effect you like to the timeline to apply.
If you don’t want to choose the transition one by one, let the software choose the transition randomly by right clicking and selecting “Random to All” option.
3. Edit the audio of MP4 Video
Sometimes you may need to adjust the settings of audio. To do it, double click the video on the Timeline. Then a editing panel will pop up. Switch to the Audio column and you can easily change the Speed, Volume, Pitch of the audio file or add the Fade in/out effect to it.
Want to change the original audio track of your MP4 video?
No problem.
Just highlight your MP4 video, right click and choose “Audio Detach”. The audio file of your video will immediately be separated and appear on the music timeline. Since it is separated from the video, you can easily delete the audio track or replace it with your own music.

01 Best Video Loopers to Loop Videos for Free on Windows and Mac
02 Create Boomerang Loop withWondershare Filmora Video Editor
Part 1: Best Video Loopers to Loop Videos for Free on Windows and Mac
Whatever you are motivated to create a video loop, you should know that it’s a straightforward process. If you wish to create a looping video, you’ll need to download a video editing tool. Here we will cover the best free video looper for you and how you can create a loop video.
1. Window Media Player
Windows Media Player offers a clean and intuitive interface, outstanding performance, particularly with big media libraries, and solid integration with Urge, the company’s de facto music streaming service. Whenever Windows Media Player approaches the finish of a video, it gives you the option to repeat it manually, but it does not do it routinely.
Enabling the Repeat function, on the other hand, directs Media Player to play the video in a constant loop until you actively stop it or shut the software. Looping a video impacts the rest of the video from start to finish; Media Player does not only allow you to loop a portion of it but more.
How to Loop Video in Windows Media Player?
Step 1: Drag your mouse pointer over the Media Player window in Now Playing status to reveal the playback settings.
Step 2: To continually repeat the movie, click the Turn Repeat On button, denoted by a circular arrow, and glows blue when toggled on.
(Note: If you don’t see this button in a tiny playing window, select the square Maximize symbol or drag the video corners to expand the window bigger).
Step 3: Until you exit the application or click the Turn Repeat Off icon, the Repeat option will repeat the whole video.
Note: When you close the window, your prior feature selection is retained; thus, the next video you watch will play in a loop until you turn off the Repeat feature.
2. QuickTime Player
QuickTime Player is a basic application that allows you to watch videos and record screencasts on your Mac. You may also produce your videos and audio recordings and do rapid changes. Basic activities such as video flipping and clip splitting are included in edits.
You can record a screencast of a lecture, or capture a portion of the screen with QuickTime, which is ideal for creating a video lesson for an application. Using QuickTime, you may cut the length of video clips or merge many pieces into a single film. Drag the clips to a film window - QuickTime dynamically scales or trims them to fit the size of the movie.
It can also play your video on loop. Here’s how:
How to Loop Video with QuickTime Player?
If you’re using a Mac and wish to generate a video loop in QuickTime Player, follow these steps:
Step 1: Launch the QuickTime player to watch any video.
Step 2: In the taskbar at the top right of the screen, select View.
Step 3: From the drop-down option, select Loop. And that’s it. You have put a video on loop.
These two video programs simplify setting up videos to run on repeat; they don’t allow you to loop individual video parts. To do so, you’ll need more powerful software, such as the well-known VLC Media Player.
3. VLC Media Player
The VLC media player is a program that allows you to play video and music files on your computer. The VLC player can operate on several operating systems, including Windows 2021, XP, and Mac OS X, because of the device’s powerful CPUs.
This makes the VLC Media Player an excellent alternative for anybody searching for a media player that can simultaneously run many programs. This free video editing program also includes special capabilities that allow it to execute numerous jobs simultaneously, including video editing, data transmission, graphic display, sound editing, and much more.
How to Loop a part of the Video in VLC Media Player Continuously?
Create a beginning point A and an ending point B, which are in the center of VLC’s timeline. There is a control button for the A to B looping function in the Advanced Controls. The starting and ending positions inside a media file can be specified by bringing up the advanced controls first. Now follow these steps to put a video on loop in the VLC media player:
Step 1: Open the video with VLC media player. Go to View. Select the Advanced Controls option.
Step 2: Go to the bottom of the VLC media player, and you will find 4 controls above the play button. Click the third button Loop from Piont A to Point B continuously to mark the starting point of the loop; and then click the third button again to mark the end of the loop.
Step 3: Click the Play button and you will find the video is playing loop. Until you press the Loop from point A to point B option for the third time to discontinue the looped playback, the segment of the clip you’ve put up will keep on playing on loop.
4. iMovie
iMovie is a fantastic tool for making beautiful short films, music videos, picture slideshows, and other creative projects. You may also loop videos straight in the iMovie software; however, you’ll need to utilize QuickTime to loop movies continually if you want to export them. Here are the quick and easy ways to loop a movie into iMovie.
How to Loop Video in iMovie?
Step 1: Open iMovie and then the video clip you want to loop in.
Step 2: Select the Loop Playback option from the View menu. Once the video begins to play, it will loop indefinitely until you stop it.
5. Windows Photos App
Microsoft Photos, a free photo viewer and editor bundled with Windows 10, provides capable image editing and photo improvements and capabilities for organizing and editing movies, all in a touch-friendly interface.
You may doodle on photographs, apply background music and 3D effects to videos , and use automated object tagging to make searching easier. Microsoft Photos is a wonderful tool for dealing with digital photographs, and for certain users, it may even replace third-party photo applications.
How to Loop Video in Windows 10 Photos app?
Windows 10 comes with the Photos app preinstalled. It can also assist you in making your movie loop. Here’s how to do it.
Step 1: Import your video to the Photos app, and use the trim tool to get the part you want to loop.
Step 2: Copy and paste the trimmed video to the storyboard as many times as you like. And then click the Finish Video button to export the video.
Part 2: Create Boomerang Loop with Wondershare Filmora Video Editor
Looping a movie is not a difficult chore for anyone, even a novice. As we all know, most video players cease playing when a video approaches its climax. You can manually reverse the portion if you wish to see it with Boomerang effects.
You may loop and enjoy the video you like continuously when you do a new project in Wondershare Filmora Video Editor , a video editor for all video content creators.
For Win 7 or later (64-bit)
For macOS 10.12 or later
Furthermore, this multi-functional program may trim, clip, divide or combine films to your liking. To loop any video in Filmora, follow these steps:
Step 1: Launch the Filmora video editor and import the video file. Click on File>Import Media>Import Media Files. And then drag the video file to the timeline. Do some basic editing such as trimming and cutting to get the segments that you want to loop with the Boomerang effect, if necessary.
Step 2: Copy and paste the video file on the timeline, and then change the speed of the pasted video to apply the Reverse effect. Repeat the process to loop the video as many times as you want.
Step 3: Export the video files when you’re done. Click on Export and save the looping video as a video or gif, and then select the location where you want to save the file.

Windows Media Player offers a clean and intuitive interface, outstanding performance, particularly with big media libraries, and solid integration with Urge, the company’s de facto music streaming service. Whenever Windows Media Player approaches the finish of a video, it gives you the option to repeat it manually, but it does not do it routinely.
Enabling the Repeat function, on the other hand, directs Media Player to play the video in a constant loop until you actively stop it or shut the software. Looping a video impacts the rest of the video from start to finish; Media Player does not only allow you to loop a portion of it but more.
How to Loop Video in Windows Media Player?
Step 1: Drag your mouse pointer over the Media Player window in Now Playing status to reveal the playback settings.
Step 2: To continually repeat the movie, click the Turn Repeat On button, denoted by a circular arrow, and glows blue when toggled on.
(Note: If you don’t see this button in a tiny playing window, select the square Maximize symbol or drag the video corners to expand the window bigger).
Step 3: Until you exit the application or click the Turn Repeat Off icon, the Repeat option will repeat the whole video.
Note: When you close the window, your prior feature selection is retained; thus, the next video you watch will play in a loop until you turn off the Repeat feature.
2. QuickTime Player
QuickTime Player is a basic application that allows you to watch videos and record screencasts on your Mac. You may also produce your videos and audio recordings and do rapid changes. Basic activities such as video flipping and clip splitting are included in edits.
You can record a screencast of a lecture, or capture a portion of the screen with QuickTime, which is ideal for creating a video lesson for an application. Using QuickTime, you may cut the length of video clips or merge many pieces into a single film. Drag the clips to a film window - QuickTime dynamically scales or trims them to fit the size of the movie.
It can also play your video on loop. Here’s how:
How to Loop Video with QuickTime Player?
If you’re using a Mac and wish to generate a video loop in QuickTime Player, follow these steps:
Step 1: Launch the QuickTime player to watch any video.
Step 2: In the taskbar at the top right of the screen, select View.
Step 3: From the drop-down option, select Loop. And that’s it. You have put a video on loop.
These two video programs simplify setting up videos to run on repeat; they don’t allow you to loop individual video parts. To do so, you’ll need more powerful software, such as the well-known VLC Media Player.
3. VLC Media Player
The VLC media player is a program that allows you to play video and music files on your computer. The VLC player can operate on several operating systems, including Windows 2021, XP, and Mac OS X, because of the device’s powerful CPUs.
This makes the VLC Media Player an excellent alternative for anybody searching for a media player that can simultaneously run many programs. This free video editing program also includes special capabilities that allow it to execute numerous jobs simultaneously, including video editing, data transmission, graphic display, sound editing, and much more.
How to Loop a part of the Video in VLC Media Player Continuously?
Create a beginning point A and an ending point B, which are in the center of VLC’s timeline. There is a control button for the A to B looping function in the Advanced Controls. The starting and ending positions inside a media file can be specified by bringing up the advanced controls first. Now follow these steps to put a video on loop in the VLC media player:
Step 1: Open the video with VLC media player. Go to View. Select the Advanced Controls option.
Step 2: Go to the bottom of the VLC media player, and you will find 4 controls above the play button. Click the third button Loop from Piont A to Point B continuously to mark the starting point of the loop; and then click the third button again to mark the end of the loop.
Step 3: Click the Play button and you will find the video is playing loop. Until you press the Loop from point A to point B option for the third time to discontinue the looped playback, the segment of the clip you’ve put up will keep on playing on loop.
4. iMovie
iMovie is a fantastic tool for making beautiful short films, music videos, picture slideshows, and other creative projects. You may also loop videos straight in the iMovie software; however, you’ll need to utilize QuickTime to loop movies continually if you want to export them. Here are the quick and easy ways to loop a movie into iMovie.
How to Loop Video in iMovie?
Step 1: Open iMovie and then the video clip you want to loop in.
Step 2: Select the Loop Playback option from the View menu. Once the video begins to play, it will loop indefinitely until you stop it.
5. Windows Photos App
Microsoft Photos, a free photo viewer and editor bundled with Windows 10, provides capable image editing and photo improvements and capabilities for organizing and editing movies, all in a touch-friendly interface.
You may doodle on photographs, apply background music and 3D effects to videos , and use automated object tagging to make searching easier. Microsoft Photos is a wonderful tool for dealing with digital photographs, and for certain users, it may even replace third-party photo applications.
How to Loop Video in Windows 10 Photos app?
Windows 10 comes with the Photos app preinstalled. It can also assist you in making your movie loop. Here’s how to do it.
Step 1: Import your video to the Photos app, and use the trim tool to get the part you want to loop.
Step 2: Copy and paste the trimmed video to the storyboard as many times as you like. And then click the Finish Video button to export the video.
Part 2: Create Boomerang Loop with Wondershare Filmora Video Editor
Looping a movie is not a difficult chore for anyone, even a novice. As we all know, most video players cease playing when a video approaches its climax. You can manually reverse the portion if you wish to see it with Boomerang effects.
You may loop and enjoy the video you like continuously when you do a new project in Wondershare Filmora Video Editor , a video editor for all video content creators.
For Win 7 or later (64-bit)
For macOS 10.12 or later
Furthermore, this multi-functional program may trim, clip, divide or combine films to your liking. To loop any video in Filmora, follow these steps:
Step 1: Launch the Filmora video editor and import the video file. Click on File>Import Media>Import Media Files. And then drag the video file to the timeline. Do some basic editing such as trimming and cutting to get the segments that you want to loop with the Boomerang effect, if necessary.
Step 2: Copy and paste the video file on the timeline, and then change the speed of the pasted video to apply the Reverse effect. Repeat the process to loop the video as many times as you want.
Step 3: Export the video files when you’re done. Click on Export and save the looping video as a video or gif, and then select the location where you want to save the file.
Summary
Depending on your taste, the number of video loops required, and the amount of information you need when creating a full-fledged film with repeats, you can use any software described above. If you need a more advanced option, Wondershare Filmora video editor is your best alternative in terms of Video Loopers. It is not only a free video looper, but it also has several additional capabilities that allow you to create a full output with granular changes.

Part4: Motion Blur Effect in Filmmaking
Motion Blur is one of the essential effects to add when you are making a movie. It exaggerates the motion in a perfect way which is necessary for most action movies. This blur effect is usually the result of something moving quicker than the camera. The more significant the speed difference between the camera filming and the moving object, the more pronounced motion blur will be.
In the majority of the cases, it is best to apply motion blur on background objects than the subjects. For example, motion blur is perfect for the shots in which the camera moves at the same speed as the subject. Although, if the subject is moving faster than the camera, you would want a minimal blur.
Technically speaking, more excellent motion blur can be obtained through a lower shutter speed or vice versa. Ensure that your shutter speed is always twice your framerate because anything lower can result in unnatural-looking footage. The famous bike chase of Star Wars Episode VI is a perfect example of the productive application of motion blur. The scene was captured by walking in the forest and shooting a single frame per time.
Conclusion
Most of the videos need a significant amount of blur to make them look realistic. FCPX is excellent editing software, but it does not have blurring effects. However, there’s a way to add blur effect in FCPX, but many people are unaware of it.
To tackle this problem, we came up with different plugins for Motion Blur and its effects in filmmaking. So, now you have in-depth knowledge of how you can add blur effects in FCPX.

Part4: Motion Blur Effect in Filmmaking
Motion Blur is one of the essential effects to add when you are making a movie. It exaggerates the motion in a perfect way which is necessary for most action movies. This blur effect is usually the result of something moving quicker than the camera. The more significant the speed difference between the camera filming and the moving object, the more pronounced motion blur will be.
In the majority of the cases, it is best to apply motion blur on background objects than the subjects. For example, motion blur is perfect for the shots in which the camera moves at the same speed as the subject. Although, if the subject is moving faster than the camera, you would want a minimal blur.
Technically speaking, more excellent motion blur can be obtained through a lower shutter speed or vice versa. Ensure that your shutter speed is always twice your framerate because anything lower can result in unnatural-looking footage. The famous bike chase of Star Wars Episode VI is a perfect example of the productive application of motion blur. The scene was captured by walking in the forest and shooting a single frame per time.
Conclusion
Most of the videos need a significant amount of blur to make them look realistic. FCPX is excellent editing software, but it does not have blurring effects. However, there’s a way to add blur effect in FCPX, but many people are unaware of it.
To tackle this problem, we came up with different plugins for Motion Blur and its effects in filmmaking. So, now you have in-depth knowledge of how you can add blur effects in FCPX.
