Why might a file fail to add?

Read the file’s error message. Check its size and whether it plays in your browser. If its encoding cannot be read, export a compatible MP4 from your media tool and try that copy. Renaming the file extension does not convert its contents.

Which clips should I choose?

Select the views needed for the opening, demonstration, and ending. Supply another angle if a vertical crop would hide the product or speaker. Keep original files for later changes.

Can I use reference audio?

The reference soundtrack may be used in the rendered result. Choose audio you are allowed to use for the intended publication.

Questions, answered.

Is a reference source footage?

A reference guides the treatment. Add the clips you want shown as source media.

Does the folder workflow sync my whole Google Drive?

Google Drive imports are temporarily disabled pending verification and the security assessment.
