Importing, Previewing & Exporting

Learn how to import, preview, and export.

Importing Video Files

There are two ways to bring file(s) into the app.

Import image sequences using the same steps listed above.

When using an image sequence make sure that:

The "Video In" menu will display the input file's resolution, aspect ratio, and frame rate.

The "Video Out" menu will allow you to alter the output file's resolution and frame rate.

If you are using a video file with a square aspect ratio an intermediate menu option will allow you to keep the original pixel type or square pixels.

Use the toggle switch to enable filter(s). We recommend using one to two per file.

The Output Settings menu allows you to alter the export encoder, container, and audio settings.

To generate a preview, select the resolution, filters, and output settings and press the purple Preview button.

Note:

You can select up to 15 seconds to preview and you can adjust the view and zoom to inspect the results.
You can generate as many previews as you need.
The progress of each preview will be shown in the Output library.
A purple progress bar and an ETA will appear for each file.
Once the preview is ready, you will see a green checkmark.
To view the Preview using your default video player, double-click on the preview or use the triple dot menu to open an external player.

Once you have inspected the preview, you are ready to export.

By default, the exported file will be saved to the input file's location.

You can select the carrot next to Export to choose Export As if you wish to change the save location. As a note, Save As is not available when batch exporting.

You can differentiate between the previews and exports by taking a look at the icon on the left side of the Output library.
