Choose how much of the recording to keep

Use Automatic Best Moments for standalone excerpts. For a series that covers the whole recording, set a clip length from 5 seconds to 10 minutes and use Fixed-Length Clipping.

Make a vertical version

Choose 9:16 and use centre crop when the subject is already in the middle. Use blurred fit to keep a wide shot visible inside the vertical frame.

Review before posting

Play the generated clips and check their opening, ending and captions. Download the MP4s you want to share.
