Frequently Asked Questions
What video formats are supported?
The editor supports MP4, WebM, AVI, MOV, and MKV input formats. All edited videos are exported in high-quality MP4 format with H.264 encoding for maximum compatibility.
What is the maximum file size?
You can upload video files up to 500MB. Processing time depends on the file size and the complexity of edits applied. The first edit of a session takes longer because the converter is downloaded first.
Why does processing take a while?
Every edit produces a newly encoded H.264 MP4 file, so it takes a while. Larger files and more complex edits will take longer. The progress bar shows real-time status.
Can I use this offline?
No. The editor needs an internet connection: the first edit of a session downloads the converter it uses.
Tips & Best Practices
- Start with trimming: Trim your video first to reduce processing time for subsequent edits like rotation or speed changes.
- Use the live preview: Check the live preview panel to verify rotation and flips look correct before clicking "Apply Changes."
- Close other tabs: For faster processing, close unnecessary browser tabs and applications to free up system resources.
- Use MP4 for best results: MP4 files typically process fastest and most reliably. Convert other formats to MP4 before editing if possible.
- Check the applied effects panel: The effects summary panel shows all active changes at a glance, making it easy to review before processing.
- Use crop presets: The square, 75%, and 50% crop presets save time compared to manually entering dimensions.
