Edit videos for LinkedIn

Editing video for LinkedIn doesn't require opening a desktop editor. Most of the work is three things: taking the right part of a long recording, switching to 1:1 · 4:5 framing and burning in captions. BeamTake does all three in one flow; the export downloads as 1080×1080 · 1080×1350 or goes straight to your account.

Which settings matter for LinkedIn?

LinkedIn viewers watch mostly desktop, muted and decide within a clear claim in the first sentence. On screen, the post text below the video, so putting text there is wasted.

How content travels on LinkedIn

On LinkedIn, video sits in the feed next to text and is mostly watched on desktop, with the sound off. People expect an insight or a point of view, not entertainment, so what the clip says should be obvious in the first second.

Practical notes for LinkedIn

  • Here 1:1 or 4:5 takes up more space than 9:16; forcing vertical doesn't help.
  • It's watched silently at the office: without captions, a post might as well not be watched.
  • Write the clip's key claim in the first line of the post too; it's read before the video is played.

FAQ

Do I need to install anything?

No, it runs in the browser. Even screen recording happens in the browser.

Can I upload my own file?

Yes. MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM and audio files work, or paste a link.

Do I have to connect my LinkedIn account?

No. Without connecting, download the export and upload it yourself. Connect it to schedule posts from the calendar.

What's the export quality?

Every plan exports at 1080 pixels on the short side. The Studio plan unlocks 4K (2160 on the short side); a lower-resolution source isn't artificially upscaled.
