To sign up for WeVideo's free trial, click the 'Sign up free' button on their website and create an account using either Google or Facebook. The trial lets you publish 5 minutes of video monthly, use drag-and-drop templates, and record with your screen and webcam.
For a free trial, WeVideo offers enough to get a good feel for its capabilities. I used it quite frequently to create content for social media, and it met my basic needs. The 5-minute monthly limit made me plan my edits carefully, but it also taught me to be efficient with my video production. If you’re just starting out or need a simple tool for occasional video projects, this free plan does the job well.
When you first visit the WeVideo website, look for the blue ‘Sign up free’ button. It's prominently displayed in the top right corner. Clicking on this takes you to the account creation page.
You have a couple of options for setting up your account, which I found quite convenient. You can either use your Google account or Facebook to sign up. This means less hassle with passwords and email verification. I used my Google account and it was a breeze—just a couple of clicks and I was in.
Once you're signed up, you'll have access to several features. Here’s what you can do:
The free version has its limitations, which you should be aware of. The most noticeable is the WeVideo watermark on your published videos. If you plan to use your videos professionally, you might find this bothersome. Upgrading to a premium plan removes the watermark and gives access to more sophisticated features, like expanded templates and enhanced editing tools.
Yes, as mentioned above, WeVideo offers a free version with limited features. It's a great way to start using the platform without any upfront cost. You can create videos using drag and drop templates, record your screen, webcam, and voiceovers, and even make GIFs and podcasts. However, remember that the free plan has a video duration limit of 5 minutes per month and your videos will include a WeVideo watermark.
If you've signed up for a free trial of WeVideo's premium features and decide it's not for you, cancelling is straightforward. Here's what I did:
Make sure you cancel before the trial period ends to avoid being charged.
To remove the WeVideo watermark from your videos, you'll need to upgrade to one of their paid plans. The free version includes the watermark on all videos, which is standard practice for many free video editing services. Upgrading not only removes the watermark but also gives you access to enhanced features like more editing tools and increased publish time.
