Note: To use the custom length, use the slider to change the video's length. As you adjust the slider, the video's length is displayed. If you like what you see, you can click Apple to finish. You can reorder the sequence with drag and drop when you're back in the editor.

You have the option to add style to your new videos with stickers and text. Tap the folded happy face icon to add a sticker and the "T" icon for text. You can resize and position your stickers and text anywhere in the video. However, don't forget to use the timeline bar to control how long they appear.

Remember to give your new video a title. When you return to Studio, the video is saved in the Samsung Gallery app when you tap Save Movie.
