Getting started

- How does Auk Video pick the best moments and make clips?Auk Video transcribes your video, finds moments that work on their own, scores them from 0 to 100, and cuts the best into vertical clips. Each step explained.
- How do I watch, favorite and download my clips?Your clips appear on the project page. Click one to play it, add it to favorites, open it in the editor, or download the MP4.
Credits
- How do credits work in Auk Video?One credit is one minute of the video or section you pick, charged once. Clips, edits, downloads and publishing are free; failed projects are refunded.

Captions

Reframe
