Example instruction

Adapt this instruction to your footage and review the result.

Edit these clips into a 20-second 4:5 product demonstration for the feed. Keep the product visible in the crop, use the supplied title and finish on the result.

What to check

Reframing can crop faces, landmarks or product details. Review the output in the selected aspect ratio.

Shared Drive originals must remain accessible for processing. Importing a folder does not set up automatic monitoring or publication.

Render time and credit use vary with the work. Check current pricing and the in-product estimate.
