Make test clips to experiment β€” it gets expensive otherwise! πŸ€‘

If you have longer videos to process and you aren't quite sure what filter (or combination of filters) you want to apply, we cannot stress enough how important it is to make a clip to experiment with.

A 10-second clip of any videos you upload is transcoded and placed in a tab by itself (look for the 'Clip 1' tab)

Make a Clip

Open the video you want to experiment on, and click the "Make Clip" button, (the factory preset MOV/264 is set by default).

We recommend making a 10-second clip (or several if you want to test different environments in your footage, like outdoor versus indoor shots).

Click the process button, to confirm the appraisal, processing will start and your clip will be added as a new tab.
