Finishing a clip: format, brand bar, editing and zip — free

1What is included and where to find it

The actions menu opens when you click a finished clip in “My generations”. These items exist only for videos. The original clip is not changed: each result is a new entry in the original's project, titled like “Формат 9:16 · …” or “С плашкой · …” (the entry title is written in Russian).

2Another format: one clip in three formats

1. Open the clip menu

   In “My generations” click the clip and choose Another format (free). The “Another format” window opens.

2. Choose a format

   In the “Format” block: 9:16 — Reels, Shorts, 1:1 — feed or 16:9 — YouTube. Result sizes: 720×1280, 1080×1080 and 1920×1080.

3. Choose how to fit

   In the “How to fit” block click Blurred background (the whole frame stays and a blurred copy of the clip fills the edges instead of black bars) or Crop to centre (the frame fills the format entirely and the edges are cut off). A hint under the choice says what you will get.

4. Press “Make it”

   The button says “free”. After a few seconds the window says “Done. The clip in … format was added to your feed”. Open the clip opens the result, Another one returns to the choice.

Sound is kept and the result's frame rate is 30 per second. The clip may be at most 3 minutes long, otherwise the server answers that the clip is longer than 3 minutes and cannot be converted.

3Brand bar: text, phone, logo, call to action

A bar makes the clip tell who you are and how to reach you: a price or address, a phone number, a logo and a call at the end. The fields are saved in the “brand kit”, so the second time you do not have to fill anything in.

1. Open the window

   In the clip's actions menu choose Brand bar (free). The “Brand bar” window opens.

2. Fill in the texts

   Text — up to 90 characters (hint: “For sale · 3 rooms · 85 m²”); Phone or website — up to 40 characters; Call to action at the end (last 2 seconds) — up to 60 characters, for example “Call now!”. Fill in at least one of text, phone, call or logo, otherwise the button is disabled.

3. Add a logo and a colour

   The Upload logo button accepts PNG, JPEG or WebP (up to 8 MB); later it becomes Replace logo, and next to it there is “Remove”. The colour is one of six: red, orange, green, blue, light grey, black. The logo must be uploaded to Studio with this button: a link to an outside site is not accepted.

4. Choose the bar position

   In the “Bar position” block click Bottom or Top.

5. Decide about the brand kit

   The Save as brand kit — fill in next time tick is on by default: the text, phone, logo, colour and call are saved in your account and filled in the next time you open the window. The bar position is not remembered.

6. Press “Apply”

   The button says “free”. The finished clip is added to the feed; the window says “Done. The branded clip was added to your feed; the original is unchanged”. Another variant returns to the fields.

What it looks like: the bar takes 16% of the frame height, has a coloured stripe on the left, white text on the first line and the phone or website in the brand colour on the second. The logo sits in the right corner of the frame opposite the bar. The call to action appears on a wide coloured strip in the middle of the frame during the last 2 seconds (if the clip is longer than 2.5 seconds).

4Editing: join clips into one video

1. Open “Editing”

   Top menu Video → Editing (“Join clips into one video”). On the left are the “Available clips”, on the right the edit order.

2. Choose clips

   Click clips on the left: chosen ones get a number. You need at least 2 and at most 16 (otherwise “Select at least 2 clips”).

3. Set the order

   In the edit order block the Move up and Move down arrows move a clip, Remove from the cut removes it.

4. Trim a clip if you wish

   The Trim clip button opens the Start, s and End, s fields (0.5-second step). If less than half a second would remain after trimming, the server refuses.

5. Choose a format and a transition

   Format: 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9 (16:9 by default). Transition: Hard cut or Smooth — a 0.5-second crossfade. If “Music” has a last track, you can add it as a background with the “Track from Music” button (quieter than the voice; the track loops and the clip is not cut to its length).

6. Press “Assemble”

   Next to it it says “Editing is free: only our server, no models”. The finished clip appears in “My generations” titled “Edit · N clips”.

Editing limits: each clip is at most 3 minutes, the whole video at most 15 minutes. Clips are fitted to one format with black bars (no blur); if you want a blurred background, apply “Another format” afterwards. For a clip without sound the server adds silence so that the sound does not drift.

5Download as .zip: many works in one file

1. Turn on selection

   In “My generations” (or on the home feed) click Select above the mosaic. The button becomes Done.

2. Tick the works

   Click the cards; at the bottom you see “Selected: N”. Select all ticks everything at once, Deselect all clears it.

3. Press “Download as .zip”

   First you see “Building the archive…”, then “Archive ready: N files”, and the browser starts downloading the .zip.

• An archive holds up to 60 files and up to 800 MB; if more, you get “An archive holds up to 60 files — select fewer” or “The archive is too large — select fewer files”.
• If a card has several frames, all of them go into the archive.
• Only files from the Studio storage go into the archive; outside links and paths like “../” are rejected.
• Inside, files are numbered: 01_…, 02_… Videos and images are already compressed, so the archive size is roughly the sum of the files.
• An archive is meant to last 2 hours: the server deletes old archives when it creates new ones, so download right away.

6Limits and restrictions

The limits are counted separately for each tool. You can have one processing job of each kind running at once, and the server has three shared places for ffmpeg jobs. If you hit a limit you get “Too many requests in a row. Try again a bit later”. If the previous job is still running — “The previous processing is still running — wait for it to finish”. If the whole server is busy — “The server is busy processing clips right now. Try again in a minute”. (The server messages are in Russian.)

What is not done here: no choice of bar font, no several bars at once and no bar animation; editing cannot pick different transitions (only “Hard cut” and “Smooth”); trimming works by seconds, not by frames.
