3. How Do I Upload My Video?

Once you're in Edit Studio:

2. Drag and Drop: Alternatively, drag and drop a video from your local machine directly into the upload area.

4. What Are the Video Requirements?

Ensure your video meets the following criteria:

• Aspect Ratio: Use a conventional aspect ratio; unconventional aspect ratios are not supported.
• Length: Videos should be longer than 2 seconds and shorter than 30 seconds; videos over 30 seconds are automatically trimmed.
• Resolution: Videos should be between 480p and 1080p in quality; 720p or 1080p is recommended.
• Frame Rate: Use between 24fps and 30fps; videos over 30fps are downsampled.
• Cuts: Contain 10 or fewer cuts/shot changes; videos with 11 or more cuts will receive an error.

5. How Do I Choose an Editing Mode?

Edit Studio currently offers a 'Single Edit' mode, with 'Multi-edit' and 'Expand' modes coming soon.

• Single Edit: This mode generates an image based on a selected keyframe still from your video. Use this when you want precise control over how the edit looks before it's applied across the video.

6. How Do I Perform a Single Edit?

To execute a single edit:

1. Select a Keyframe: Choose a keyframe that clearly shows the target of your edits.
2. Write a Prompt: Describe the changes you want to make in a short, clear prompt.
3. Preview and Generate: Preview the image adjustment before generating the video. Once satisfied, click 'Generate video' to start the generation.

7. How Do I Add Extra Motion?

If your edit requires specific motion that wouldn't happen on its own or doesn't exist in the original video, you can add extra motion:

1. Include a Prompt: In addition to your text prompt, include a description of the desired motion.
2. Generate: The AI will animate adjustments based on your keyframe edit and the extra motion prompt.
