"When I first started the business, I worried about how I was going to put an Excel screen over my head, since I had never edited a video in my life. At that point, I was still working 60 hours a week at a day job, so I needed to find the easiest program to learn. I Googled, “What is the easiest video editing software?” WeVideo is what I found. I watched a 40-minute YouTube video tutorial on that program. I’ve used WeVideo to create all my videos and courses ever since. I don’t edit on apps like TikTok or Instagram to avoid their watermarks when I upload videos cross-platform."
As a successful entrepreneur, Norton runs all aspects of her business and is a one-stop-shop for all creative content. To this end, Norton uses WeVideo’s cloud-based and user-friendly video editing platform to create all of her social media and training course videos.
With no prior video editing experience, Norton discovered WeVideo while searching for the easiest and most accessible tool. After watching a quick tutorial, Norton started using WeVideo to create content in May 2020.
Since then, Norton has used WeVideo to produce hundreds of videos, and she loves the platform’s ease-of-use and cross-platform publishing capabilities. The daily demands of her business require that high-quality videos be created quickly, without additional time to export multiple versions. With WeVideo, Norton can publish with one click, allowing her to create a video once and distribute it across multiple web and social media platforms. During this time, Norton’s infatuation for WeVideo has grown exponentially.
“I absolutely LOVE using WeVideo! It is so simple to use and has all the features I need to build creative courses and content.”
