Recording Shorts and finishing them in Studio
Shorts are full-screen vertical videos. Record with CrowOn's camera, or bring your own clips into Studio and edit there.
Record with the camera

- Length
- Choose 15 seconds or 60 seconds before you start. You can record in several takes.
- Timer

- Filters
- Apply them while recording.
- Face effects
- They run on your device; video of your face is never sent to CrowOn. Green screen is here too.
When you finish, it moves to Studio. Camera help
Edit in Studio
Open it from +›Short video. Change the aspect ratio with the 9:16 control at the top.
New project lets you pick photos and videos and edit on a timeline. There are five templates; one has 4 slots and runs 5.6 seconds. Drop your clips in and the slot lengths and cuts are set for you.

Remix
Posts that allow it can be remixed side by side, stacked, picture in picture or on a green screen. A link to the original and its creator's name are added for you. Decide whether your own posts can be remixed in Settings›Posts & sharing›Allow remixes.
On the viewer's side
Viewers can change the speed (0.5x to 2x) or keep captions on with Settings›Shorts›Always show captions. Captions help people watch where they can't play sound.
Screens are from CrowOn on the web. The iPhone app has the same settings under the same names.
