1-Automated Project on the mobile application

• Add a frame

You can, if you wish, directly insert a rush/video already from your mobile in the timeline in an empty frame. For this you just need to :

• Click on Add Video
• You can choose from the videos on your phone. Click on the video of your choice, a red check and a border will appear to confirm that it has been selected.
• Click Add

Note: only videos matching the template format will be displayed in the selection of the available videos. If you use a template in portrait format, only the videos corresponding to this format will be visible.

• Edit a frame

Even if you have validated and inserted a frame in your timeline, you can modify it. To do this, simply select it (it will be girded with a red border) and then :

• Click on Replace video to film again or to select the video of your choice from your mobile
• Click on Adjust trimming to edit the clip duration

Note: You do not need to delete the film before replacing it with an added or filmed one.

• Trim a frame

Once you have filmed a shot or added a video, you can easily cut it to adjust its duration or remove some parts (from the start and the end of the video).
To do this, click Adjust trimming on the Edits tab :

• Here you are on a new window Trim a frame
• In the middle of your screen, you have a video player that allows you to read the video. Only what lies between the two red bars is played.
• At the bottom, you have the timeline with two red blades that allow you to change the duration of the frame. Simply press and drag them left or right to adjust the video length.
  The hatched parts will not be visible in the video.
• You also have a cursor that you can use to select the precise moment on the timeline from which you want to play the video. (It is not used to cut the frame)
• Press The red Check, on the top, to validate your changes and return to the storyboard page.
• If you no longer want to cut your plan, you can click the Cross to cancel your actions.
• When you use the Trimming feature, a new rush is created on your phone, so you have the new version as well as the old one.

Tip: By pressing on one of the "blades" of the cutting tool, you will get a timestamp and can move more precisely on the timeline.

• Delete a frame

If a frame is not suitable for you and you do not want to modify/replace it, you can remove it by pressing the Remove video button in the Edits tab.

Note: An empty frame does not appear in the final video.

Studio mode

During a studio video, the possibilities are the same as with the automatic mode, but it is not necessary to cut the rushs/frames because the editor will take care of it for you. And thus, according to the instructions you have written on the section Instructions on your project.
