GOOD TO KNOW
The honest fine print
Things every user should read before their first export. Nothing here is hidden in legal language — these are the real limits and expectations, stated plainly.
YouTube plays at most 60 fps
Our engine exports up to 120 fps, which is superb for slow-motion editing headroom and high-refresh displays — but YouTube re-encodes anything above 60 fps down to 60. If YouTube is the destination, export at 60 fps; keep 120 fps for editing and other platforms.
Images you upload are your responsibility
Images and audio we supply in the Data Library come from lawful sources (official APIs, free-licensed archives). Anything you add yourself must be material you have rights to use — platforms enforce copyright on your uploads, and any claim or strike there is between you and the platform. Full details in the Terms of Service.
What computer you need
A desktop or laptop computer — the editor does not work on phones or tablets. Any 64-bit Windows or Mac from roughly 2017 onward with Chrome or Edge and 8 GB RAM works; the engine uses your machine's hardware video encoder automatically. 4K·120 or heavy motion blur is happiest with a dedicated GPU (GTX/RTX class or Apple M-series).
“Create in 2 minutes” means create, not render
Setting a video up — data in, template picked — genuinely takes about two minutes. The render then runs at whatever speed your machine delivers. On our reference computer (AMD Ryzen 9 3900 (12-core), 32 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060) a countdown video under 5 minutes long renders in about 2 minutes at 1080p; slower machines take longer. Speed varies with resolution, frame rate, motion-blur samples and scene complexity; quality never does — every export is frame-perfect.
Minimize the browser while exporting — it renders faster
Once an export starts, minimize the browser window: the editor stops drawing its live preview and puts all the work into your video. Keep the tab open and don't let the computer sleep until it finishes. The status line under the progress bar shows exactly where each frame's time goes (render / encode / disk / waiting), so a slow export is never a mystery.
Video stutters in VLC? Play it in Windows Media Player
VLC can play high-frame-rate, high-quality videos slowly or with stutter, even though the file itself is smooth. To check an export on your computer, play it in Windows Media Player (on a Mac, QuickTime Player). Uploaded to YouTube, Instagram or TikTok, it plays smoothly there.
Trial exports carry a watermark
The 7-day trial includes 5 exports with a visible watermark and any 15 of up to 50 trial topics, picked from every category of the library. Trial exports are 1080p MP4; paid plans export clean in 1080p at 60 fps (Basic adds WebM), and Pro adds 4K, 120 fps and PNG sequences. Every editor tool is open during the trial so you can judge the product honestly.
Best in Chrome or Edge
The in-browser rendering engine relies on WebCodecs, which Chrome and Edge support fully (recent Safari works for most features). A browser without WebCodecs is offered the PNG-sequence export path with a bundled one-click assembler instead.
Cancel anytime — really
The trial can be cancelled up to the last minute of day 7 from your account, and you keep trial access until it ends. Polar, our payment provider, emails you about the upcoming charge, and the Studio shows how many trial days are left. Subscriptions cancel the same way — access runs to the end of the paid period.
