🧩 Typical Workflow

A simple workflow looks like this:

2. Add a YouTube link
3. Select your clip settings
4. Start the job
5. Wait for the output
6. Review the clips
7. Upload the best ones

⚙️ Common Settings

These settings work well for most users:

• Aspect ratio: 9:16
• Output size: 1080 x 1920
• Clip length: 20 to 60 seconds
• Format: MP4
• Audio: Keep original audio on

If you want more clips, use shorter clip lengths. If you want more context, use longer ones.

📁 Output Files

The app usually saves files in an output folder next to the project or inside the folder you choose.

You may see:

• Final clip files
• Preview files
• Project data
• Logs for each run

Keep the output folder easy to find so you can review your clips fast.

🔧 Basic Troubleshooting

The app does not open

Try this:

• Make sure you downloaded the full file
• Extract the .zip first if needed
• Right-click the app and choose Run as administrator
• Check that Windows did not block the file

The video link does not work

Check the link for:

• Extra spaces
• Missing characters
• Private or deleted videos
• Region limits

Try another public YouTube video.

The app runs, but no clips appear

Check these points:

• The input video finished loading
• The output folder has space
• The clip settings are not too strict
• The source video has clear speech and scene changes

The video looks wrong in vertical mode

Try a different crop setting.

For talking videos, center the frame on the speaker. For screen recordings, use a crop that keeps the main content visible.

The export takes a long time

Video work can take time. Longer videos, high quality output, and slower computers all increase processing time.

To speed it up:

• Close other apps
• Use shorter source videos
• Lower output quality if needed
• Save files on a local drive

🧠 Best Practices

For better clips:

• Use videos with clear speech
• Pick sections with strong points or reactions
• Keep titles short
• Review each clip before posting
• Save the best source videos for repeat use
