"But I've never edited a video"

The new Tribute video player is designed to give your Tribute a professional look with no editing skills.

Do I need to know how to edit video? +

No — that's the entire point. Everything people sent is already on the timeline in order, with music in and audio balanced. Most organizers only reorder a few clips, trim the fumbling at the start, and type in names.

What if I break something? +

You can't, permanently. Undo and redo cover your session, every edit autosaves, and Save History keeps earlier versions you can restore. Removed clips sit in a recovery list rather than disappearing.

Everyone filmed differently — portrait, landscape, old phones. Will it look a mess? +

Vertical clips get soft blurred sides instead of black bars, by default. Ten color grades make footage from ten cameras agree, and a nine-point position grid plus Fill Canvas rescues a badly framed clip.

Are the auto captions accurate? +

Accurate enough to be worth it, and editable where they aren't. Each line has its own text box and in/out timecodes, so a misheard name is a two-second fix. Skim for names first — those are what the recipient notices.

Can I use our own song? +

Yes — paste a YouTube link or upload an MP3, WAV, M4A or FLAC, and it behaves exactly like a library track. If you plan to share the video publicly, stick to music you have the rights to use.

Will the finished video look like the preview? +

Exactly like it. The preview above the timeline is frame-accurate to the delivered film, so choppy playback in your browser doesn't mean a choppy final video.
