How to create a new video using the video editor

You can start a new video project from your Vimeo homepage. To do so:

1. From the Vimeo homepage, start a new project in one of two ways:
   • Select + Create in the top navigation bar, then select Video project from the dropdown menu.
     
   • Select Create new or from template from the quick start menu.
     

This will open a new project in the web-based video editor. From here, you can choose to build your video from scratch with media and design elements, or select a template. When saving a video, it will save to your Library.
