Sizes, captions and Shorts
Pick a video in Your media. I'll make it for phones, square feeds and wide screens, with captions people can read on mute.
Sign in to cut your own videos. Pick a caption style now and I'll use it for every video I make with you.
Your project
Drag a scene's edge to trim it, and tap between scenes for a cut or a dissolve.
Clip
Keys: J K L play, Space plays or pauses, Left and Right step a frame (Shift: a second), S splits at the playhead, [ and ] trim the selected clip to the playhead, Delete ripple-deletes (Shift+Delete leaves a gap), D toggles a dissolve, Ctrl or Cmd+Z undoes and Ctrl+Shift+Z redoes. Drag an edge to trim with ripple; Alt-drag the right edge to roll the cut; Shift-drag to trim without ripple.
When it looks right, I can make the video file on this server.
Social clips
I look for whole sentences that make sense on their own, and tell you why I picked each one.
No captions yet.
Paste the words, an SRT or a WebVTT file
Typed words get estimated timing, and I say so. SRT and WebVTT keep their own timing.
Tap a word, Shift-tap another to select the words between. Enter replaces them; B breaks the caption after a word; Left and Right move (Shift extends).
Finish
Your colours, your name, your own footage over the talking parts, and music that steps back when someone speaks. Every change shows here and can be undone.

Beat markers
Keys: T adds the title at the playhead, M marks a beat, Shift+M removes the nearest marker. Tap a marker to remove it.
Three shapes
I can look at each scene once and frame it for phones, feeds and the web. It crops your footage; nothing is invented or uploaded elsewhere.
| Frame | Across | Down | Remove |
|---|
Keys: drag the frame on the scene, or use the arrow keys (Shift moves further); F adds a keyframe at this position; Delete removes the selected keyframe. Across and down are the frame's centre, 0 to 100 percent of the picture.
Camera
Say "slowly push in on scene 1". On a generated scene that is a new shot, and I show you the words and the cost before anything is made. On your own footage it is a crop of what is already there.
Camera inspector
