jfVideo Creator is a very simple free video creator, which you can use in order to easily create videos from images, audio, and other video clips. Videos are created by jamming all the required ingredients into a time line, including photo files, video files and audio tracks that you would like to see mixed. Order of each object of the video file that you’re creating can be changed, and when you’re done tweaking everything, simply set the length of the video and you’re done.
On the image down below you can see the interface of JfVideo. It’s very simplistic, and like you can see each new project that you’re working on is gonna be open as a new tab all the way at the top. Toolbar underneath the tabs is for adding new multimedia files onto the project list down below. New files that you add to the library are gonna be sorted on images, audio, and, video.
Empty space that you see underneath the library manager is reserved for the time line, where you actually create the video by adding to it images, audio, and video; the ones that you’ve imported into the library at the top. Menu in the top left corner can be used to create new projects and to save existing ones.
