- People making deliberately crunchy video edits
- Worth noticing
- The page says ordinary export records the clip as it plays, while Fast export can fall back to that method when needed.
Field notes
The interface includes controls for choosing a clip range, looping playback, comparing against the original, and exporting a tiny file or a preview-matched version. The page says the normal export records the clip as it plays, while Fast export is quicker for MP4 and MOV and falls back automatically when it cannot handle a file. It recommends Chrome or Edge on a computer and notes that other browsers or phones may lack features.
