Frequently asked questions
Is my video uploaded?
No. Everything is rendered in your browser using your own device. Your video never leaves your computer or phone.
Will the result look like the preview?
Yes. The preview and the export are drawn by the same code, so position and size match.
Will the bar cover my captions?
At the top or bottom edge it usually stays clear of captions. Pick "Top" if your platform shows buttons at the bottom.
Does the bar match the video length exactly?
Yes. It is full on the last frame.
Which browsers are supported?
Recent Chrome, Edge and Firefox, and Safari 16.4+ (color and blur effects need Safari 18). The tool checks support before it starts.
