On Video Toolbox website, you can also record and upload your own clips through the service. The website offers tools to download remote video files using URLs.

Magisto
Pros
- Uses artificial intelligence to analyze videos to command emotional response
- Supports video, image and audio file uploads
- Offers mobile apps for iOS and Android
Cons
- Downloading exported clips is only available to paid users
- Output videos can be significantly shorter because of auto editing by its so called artificial intelligence technology
Magisto uses artificial intelligence technology to analyze your uploaded contents and then suggests video edits to get the most sensible clip. You can use its free version to process total 15 minutes of videos (up to 10 clips totaling maximum 500MB, 10 photos). The output result will be shorter because the Magisto system will ‘analyze’ the contents and retain only the most emotional/important parts.
Just upload your videos and photos, select a style for the output clip, upload/choose a soundtrack from Magisto and finally give it a title before saving. You can watch them from ‘My Movies’ or ‘My Albums’ sections.
